Discover Our Story

Hi! I’m Alyssa, and I’m the author behind C&S Music

I started teaching Private Music Lessons in the outskirts of San Diego in 2018, after moving from Los Angeles. I quickly learned how difficult it is to be a Private Music Teacher – writing lesson plans, admin duties, taxes… teaching private music lessons is so much more than just teaching!
When 2020 hit, I delved even deeper into the world of online marketing for musicians and music teachers to keep my studio afloat, and discovered a passion for giving musicians and music teachers resources to not only survive, but thrive in doing what the love.
