One good thing about music, when it hits you, you feel no pain.

About Major K Music

Major K Music was created when — after teaching private lessons for a few years — Milton noticed something lacking in the way students were learning and approaching music learning. The lesson books and the homework were not enough; student input, interest and a holistic approach to learning, playing and performing were necessary components to the aptitude and retention of the musical language, musicianship and enjoyment. It is with that in mind the Three Tenets of Music Learning was born — Learn. Play. Perform.

To Learn is to recognize and utilize the theory and musicianship of one’s chosen instrument.

To Play is to recognize and galvanize the method of playing that instrument to suit every student's desired genre and style.

To Perform is to recognize and magnify the upgrade of their stage and performance skills to showcase their talents.

The Major K Music Studio

In September 2022, Major K Music moved to its new location in Downtown Riverside. Our facility has a Music Practice Room, Music Group Lesson space, Our Own Recital Room for seasonal recitals and monthly events, and a brand-new Recording Studio! Major K Music has room to grow, learn, and adapt to the changing landscape of music education.

Our Recording Studio boasts a fully isolated Recording Room with two mic inputs featuring a condenser and dynamic microphone with full talkback capability alongside two instrument inputs. Running the isolated Control Room is a new Mac Studio compiling all major digital audio workstations such as Ableton Live, Logic Pro X, Studio One, and FL Studio. The Control Room is ran by a 16-track adaptable PreSonus Production Controller and a Behringer Studio XL Studio Controller, output through a Yamaha HS5 Speaker system. Our Control and Recording Rooms are fully adaptable with movable furniture and expandability through our systems, making us suitable to the ever-changing aspect of vocal and audio production, as well as providing a unique, at-home feel.
