About Us

Jacaranda Music Studios was founded by David and Grace Vera in 2012. We have grown from 7 students to over 70 this year and are still growing! We offer lessons out of our two studio spaces on the Whole Foods plaza in Brea.

We love music and we love teaching people. Our aim and focus as a school is connection. Connecting people to each other, themselves, the world around them and God. All human beings have an innate ability and longing for connection and music connects us like no other. No matter where or who you are, everyone knows it when they hear a good beat, a beautiful melody and a combination of sounds that move them. Music connects things within us, makes sense of our thoughts, feelings and actions, inspires us to dance, rest, laugh, cry and discover those things that are truest within ourselves and the world around us.

The language of music has been, to a great extent, removed from the home, the workplace and our every day lives. It's been put on a pedestal of music halls and grand performances but we believe that music is for everyone with a desire to learn. Making music is an instinctual gift that we believe every single human possesses and needs to express. We are on a journey together to bring music back to the rhythms and spaces of our everyday lives and raise up musicians and communities that don't just perform music, but enjoy it!

 David and Grace have four children, Winter, Danny, Lucy and Judah. They love going on wilderness adventures, cooking together and being silly with their kids. They were thrown together playing on a music team for their church and haven't stopped playing together since. Both David and Grace are also worship leaders and songwriters. You can visit their music band page at www.davidandgracevera.com or listen to their music on Spotify, iTunes etc. They have a heart to raise up the next generation of musicians and worshippers!

Grace has a bachelors in music composition with an emphasis in piano. She has been teaching for over eighteen years. One of her favorite things about teaching is the moment a student goes from just playing notes to expressing their inner self through music.

David has been playing music since he was four. He plays every instrument he can find including guitar, piano, bass, drums, ukulele and banjo. He’s been teaching for twenty years. He has a bachelors in business administration and is passionate about pioneering new ways of teaching and learning.

Thanks for visiting and we hope to see you soon!
