Listen to samples of Osuna School of Music student songs

Tommy Osuna’s Music School is based on the “Osunalogy” method. This approach has proven to be extremely successful for twenty five years in all aspects of musical as well as human growth

Tommy’s school offers instruction on a wide variety of instruments.

The method of teaching is a combination of the very successful Suzuki method and Tommy’s “Osunalogy”, which combines music improvisation with the Suzuki method as tools to teach how music is put together. Tommy teaches the art of self-expression in lyric, rhythm and overall music development. His approach is to find topics that the student likes and then have them write lyrics based on exploring their answers to questions about their chosen topic. From there, Tommy shows them how melody works by using any melodic instrument to teach how pitches can go up and down, be repeated, mirrored, get louder and softer, etc. This becomes their creation! Tommy then gets them to memorize their composition and records it for the student to enjoy!

The first step is to make a demo recording of the songs. Then the student will go with Tommy to a professional recording facility and make a CD. Some of Tommy’s students are merely 3 years old and have their first CD recording of 8 songs. Some are about bugs, some about princesses and some are about lambs but what’s great is that the children see how they can realize the creative potential. As the process unfolds Tommy spoon-feeds the musical theory, composition and formal reading and writing of music. The students put all the ideas together so they are much more interested in continuing these music expression lessons than in regular, formal lessons (which usually dictate only the particular teacher’s strengths to them). All our kids learn how to read and write music so this is not an incomplete program but a comprehensive musical education geared to the age and interests of the child. Sign your child up now for one of the best creative experiences your child will ever have!

Tommy also has a Rock n’ Roll band where kids learn how to write their own songs, make flyers, put on a show and deal with all aspects of music performance. Mad Cow was the latest band some of Tommy’s students put together. All band members created their own music contributions to this song.

Tommy’s school services the following : Malibu, Los Angeles, San Fernando Valley, Santa Clarita, Frazier Park, Pine Mountain OSM even has a branch in New Jersey headed by Colin Mckay
