Raymond

Raymond received a Bachelor of Music for Applied Voice, graduating Magna Cum Laude from Biola University in La Mirada, CA. He later completed the Master of Music degree in Choral Conducting and received a music teaching credential from San Francisco State University. Raymond is an exceptionally versatile musician and educator based in Visalia, California. With a deep mastery of a wide range of instruments, he offers expert instruction in Piano, Voice, Guitar (Acoustic & Electric), Ukulele, Drums, and Recorder. This "all-in-one" musical expertise makes him a unique resource for students who want to explore different instruments or understand the connections between rhythm, melody, and harmony.

With years of professional experience in both performance and teaching, Raymond has developed a pedagogical approach that is patient, encouraging, and highly adaptable. He works with students of all levels—from young beginners picking up their first recorder to adults wanting to master the piano or guitar. His ability to switch between contemporary pop, light classical, and traditional styles ensures that every lesson is engaging and relevant to the student's personal goals.

Raymond is dedicated to building a strong musical foundation, focusing on proper technique, ear training, and music theory. His goal is to not only teach students how to play their chosen instrument but to foster a genuine, lifelong passion for creating music.
