I'm currently accepting new piano and vocal students for lessons at my home.
I think i can be most helpful for pianists/singers at the intermediate to advanced levels. I have a DMA (Doctorate of Musical Arts) in Collaborative Arts from the University of
Southern California, as well as two other performance degrees (BM University of the Pacific and MM Drake University).
My professional experiences include teaching at Chapman University,UC Santa Barbara, LA City College, Pasadena City College, Pasadena Conservatory, Occidental College and Cal-State LA , among others. Professional performing organizations that I have been involved in include: Los Angeles Opera, Opera Santa Barbara, Jarvis Institute, Florentine Opera, Utah Festival Opera and Sarasota Opera. There I have worked as a pianist/coach, diction coach, assistant conductor and chorus master.
My rates are competitive and reasonable. Please contact: Dr. John Ballerino (213) 841-2130
