History
Established in 2012.
Golden Oak Music was established to provide music lessons with an emphasis on encouraging music instruction. The owner desired to create a music studio in Santa Clarita with the goal of encouraging students and providing an artistic outlet; while recognizing that many students have diverse interests and do not wish to pursue solely classical repertoire or a college degree in music.
Incorporating fun activities and contemporary songs into private lessons has always been an important part of music lessons at Golden Oak Music Studios. A strong classical foundation to instruction does exist, with teachers holding B.M. and M.M degrees from universities from Cal Arts to Yale, but students are encouraged to bring in music they want to play. Teachers work to introduce popular music that students hear and love.
If students finish their lessons with not only the knowledge to learn music on their own, but the desire to do so, those years of music lessons have been a strong success.
Meet the Business Owner: Josh W.
Joshua was blessed to grow up in a family that loved music; as a child he performed piano, cello and vocal music. During High School he studied at Palomar Community College and was the youngest member of the Palomar Chamber Singers. He graduated from The Master's College in Santa Clarita with his B.M in Vocal Performance.
Josh has performed in locations from the Oakland Temple in the Bay Area to Carnegie Hall in New York City. He currently music directs at the State Historic Woodland Opera House. Some of his favorite performance roles include Tony in West Side Story, Rodolfo in La Bohème, and Obadiah in Elijah.
Josh's vocal and piano students include performers in local theatre, a young composer featured on KFI 640AM, a Miss California's Outstanding Teen finalist, a semi-finalist for American Idol, and film and TV actors. He reminds his students that every role from lead to ensemble is integral to the show.
