I have fooled around with the guitar for over 30 years trying to teach myself jazz chord melody songs. I finally decided I needed to take lessons and contacted Calvin based on previous Angie's List reviews. I have now been taking lessons for two months.
I feel I have learned more in the two months from Calvin then from all of the music books I've purchased in the past (and there have been quite a few.) Calvin is an excellent musician and a great teacher. The first thing he asked me to do is name five songs I wanted to learn. So we started my lessons by him teaching me how to play the Brazilian Bossa Nova classic, "Summer Samba". He teaches you music technique and theory but in such a way that it relates to the songs you want to learn so you see progress right from the beginning. And since you're working on something that you want to learn it remains interesting. For instance just today we were working on another classic, "Greensleeves". It is a tune I've always wanted to learn to play with both chords and melody together. After showing me the melody line he explained that every note in the melody was part of the C scale. So I can now see how learning scales can relate to making music and are not just an set of boring exercises that you have to suffer through. Making music and having fun doing it are important to Calvin and his enthusiasm is contagious. I look forward to our lessons and I even enjoy practicing now since I can see progress.
Calvin is professional, punctual, considerate, and he is also just an all-around nice guy. If you're considering music lessons please give Calvin a call. You won't regret it.

Calvin Anderson from Music Lessons OC has been coming to our home every week for the past six months or so.  He is absolutely phenomenal and we recommend him highly.  Calvin is always punctual, very professional, quite talented and overall a wonderful teacher.  He relates well with our three daughters and is both positive as well as motivating.
Calvin is the second music teacher that we have had come to our home, but the big difference is that our girls now look forward to and enjoy their lessons. They also continue to improve which is another testament to Calvin's teaching skills and ability.
Calvin is awesome!

Despite Calvin's low key style, he did a great job in engaging my wiggly daughter's attention. When I wanted her to learn more music theory he quickly adjusted the curriculum. I love the fact that he encouraged her tendency to write her own tunes, something that most piano teachers don't do.

Calvin Anderson provided music lessons to me over the past 2 months. He asked me which musical styles I was interested in (jazz, rockabilly) and he tailored the lessons accordingly. Always well prepared, he emails a list of focus areas for practice. He's available by email and phone.He is flexible to accommodate my schedule. He comes to my house for the lessons. I am very satisfied and my guitar playing is improving significantly.
