San Diego Guitar Lessons

 

Pitch loves teaching guitar because it is the most versatile and portable instrument out there, which gives us insight as to why it has become the most popular instrument to play in the whole world! From learning how to play guitar to accompany yourself all the way to become a rock star guitarist, Pitch can help you achieve your guitar playing goals.

For those who are completely new to guitar and looking for some online help . I have put together a section dedicated guitar resources, filled with buying guides, lessons, etc. to aide you on your journey.  After looking over the page if you still have questions feel free to email me and I will be glad to help you.

Pitch also offers San Diego Piano Lessons, San Diego Voice Lessons.

San Diego Music Lessons

Pitch has been playing guitar since he was 10 years old.  Don’t assume you are too young or too old, never be discouraged from learning music. Contact Pitch to set up a first session.  If for some reason you and Pitch are not a good fit, Pitch will gladly refer you to a list of top notch instructors he knows from all over San Diego and, for that matter, all over the country.

Lesson scheduling and length can be arranged on a student-by-student basis and cost depends on location.

San Elijo Music Lesson & Recording Studio

San Elijo Music Lesson & Recording Studio

Pitch Michael has opened a storefront music lesson and recording studio in San Elijo! The studio is a long time coming and is trying to fill the need in San Elijo for music lessons. In today’s world a music lesson and recording studio is the perfect pairing!

 

Why Open a Music Studio in San Elijo/San Marcos?

 
There was a need in the San Elijo and San Marcos community and Pitch was ready! Pitch Michael has been teaching music for well over a decade! He started teaching by offering home music lessons. Soon after he began renting space at local music studios, like Nick Rail Music and La Jolla Music. Once 2020 hit, Pitch moved most lessons online and taught out of his own home while moving to San Elijo/San Marcos area. New to San Elijo/San Marcos area, he found a need that wasn’t filled. So, he decided to open a storefront music lesson and recording studio to serve the community. 3 schools in the area and not one storefront music studio; San Elijo Middle, San Elijo Elementary, and Double Peak School!
 
 

Music Lessons & Recording Studio?

 
Yes! Pitch has a degree in Contemporary Writing and Production. He doesn’t do recitals with students, but instead nurtures the creative and performer! Building in a recording studio gives his students an outlet to be creative! With music lessons we teach the student about the instrument and how to play. With the recording studio we teach them how to perform and create! In today’s tech world a music lesson and recording studio is the perfect pairing! Also, having a dedicated music lesson studio allows Pitch to bring on more teachers and serve more students.

What to do when Facebook, Messenger, Instagram and WhatsApp are all down?

Facebook Down

Yes, we are starting out the week with a global shutdown, but not the kind of shutdown everyone has been anticipating.  Today users around the world are experiencing outages on Facebook and related social media networks including Messenger, Instagram and WhatsApp.  You may have thought it was an internet connection problem like I first did until I searched online and found some answers.  Even Facebook internal communication platforms are down!

WHAT CAUSED IT?  From what I read, the outage was caused by a DNS (domain name server) fail.  I guess this is the naming structure that forms the web’s infrastructure!  Not the greatest for facebook as their stock has dropped 5.5% since open!  I’m sure they will get it all figured out soon…

 

THOUGHTS… At first this may feel like an inconvenience but let’s change that posture and think of this as a gift!  Fight the urge to run to another social media outlet to like Twitter, Tiktok, or Snapchat to get your daily dose of social media.  Instead take this time to unplug and work on a fun skill!  I’d like to recommend taking this blessed time to learn music or take this time to practice your instrument of choice!  If you have already started your musical journey maybe you could learn a new piece, work on a new solo/scale, write a song!  If you are completely new to music and/or just need some guidance set up a music lesson today with a teacher in your area like me!  I personally have openings and availability throughout the week including today!  So if you reach out to me, you can start playing music before the day is over.
