Free Eleos Music GALA Concert at Westlake Village at 2pm Saturday, June 29, 2013


If anyone is looking for a music teacher or an excellent music education program, coming to Eleos Music's free Gala concert this Saturday at 2pm in Westlake Village will be a good start.  Families, including children, are welcome.  There will be a reception after the concert.

I am happy to share my own personal experience with the Eleos Music program for the past 4 years.  I should also mention that I do not personally benefit from attracting more students to this music program, but this program may be perfect for some families reading this blog :)

My children have been studying what I consider to be "Colburn-in-one-teacher" with Alexander Michael Tseitlin (Sasha) who, together with his wife, founded Eleos Music with the goal of providing the type of music education they wish they had with the music curriculum that they have put together!  

Eleos Music has two main campuses - one in WLA and the other in Conejo Valley.  All the string instruments, including guitar,and piano as well as voice, music history and theory (including listening and taking music dictation) and composition are taught.  My son, age 11, plays both the piano and violin and takes a one-hour lesson each week and learns both instruments at almost the same level.  My daughter, age 10, plays the piano and celloand takes 45-minute lessons.  Both have progressed to the Foundations level, learning instrumental techniques, music theory, composition and music dictation, with informal recitals every 6-weeks.

We are very pleased with the music program and I often recommend this compact and somewhat accelerated program to families looking for an excellent music program which you can check out at www.eleosmusic.com.

Students can study at both recreational enjoyment level and more seriously up to the proficiency and advanced (MA-equivalent) levels. My son has attended weekend music retreats in San Diego with private lessons with Mr. Tseitlin Sr.  Graduates of the proficiency program should easily qualify for college music scholarships as they would be able to play the concert and competition-level repertoire.  Next year, some Eleos students, including my son, will be participating at the International Music Festival in Germany.  Non-Eleos students can audition to qualify to attend this music festival too.  I don't know the exact pieces played by other soloists and guest soloists on Saturday, but my son will be playing Messenet's Meditation on the violin.

If anyone is interested in coming to see the dress rehearsals earlier, letme know since I will be there all day from 9am for the soloists' recordings and rehearsals to the the full orchestral rehearsal.

EVENT:  Free Gala Concert featuring soloists, ensembles and orchestra.

All welcome, especially families who want to check out the quality of music studied, learned and played at Eleos Music and to meet with faculty. The youngest students are around 5 years old, but some precocious learners have started piano earlier at 4.

Westlake Village

Gala Concert

Eleos Music is a program designed to provide excellent and accessible
Classical music education. Our students are performers, composers, and
artists from the early to pre-professional years. The annual Gala Concert
celebrates the work our students have done throughout the year, and is a
free event open to the general public. The event draws students and
their families (between 80 and 140 attendees) as well as a number of
outside attendees and press. Guest artists often come to perform as well.
Eleos Music has two locations; one in West LA and one in Thousand Oaks.

The Gala Concert program includes:

3 orchestras
A 60-member choir
A selection of soloists
Guest Artists

The concert repertoire includes compositions by Schubert, Mozart, Vivaldi,
and Popper.  We expect to have prominent members of the LA classical
community present as well.

Who We Are

Eleos Music has 2 campuses in the Los Angeles area in Conejo Valley and West Los Angeles. We provide our high class of  classical music education in areas local to families. We strive to bring excellence in music education in an environment where students can thrive. Our students quickly become well-rounded, intelligent, and masterful musicians. Our students perform at our monthly recitals, are seated in top local orchestras, and demonstrate extraordinary musicianship.

Eleos Music faculty members are selected from today’s most promising
artists and musicians, and are extensively trained inhouse. This creates
one of the most unique elements of the Eleos Music program: continuity in
teaching content, style, and results.

Eleos Music closely partners with the California Institute of Music in San
Diego, and IMF Germany (an annual music festival in Germany).

History

Eleos Music was founded by a husband and wife team, Alexander and Rebecca Tseitlin. They founded their organization in 2007 in the locations of their own private studios (Conejo Valley, West Los Angeles, and Santa Clarita). Rebecca Tseitlin is a respected orchestral, chamber, and soloing musician from Thousand Oaks. Alexander Tseitlin is from a Russian family with a long and rich musical heritage that reaches back to the Bolshoi Theater in Moscow and Moscow University. Alexander and Rebecca authored their own comprehensive music curriculum which seamlessly integrates instrumental technique, musicianship, and music history. Their goal is to train a new generation of young musicians with a thorough grasp of music as a whole, who can perform, teach, and enjoy music for their lifetimes. They are committed to a high level of training and to providing
an encouraging environment for students to grow and learn. They have also developed a teacher training program which trains eligible students to teach others through the Eleos curriculum. Their faculty has grown to include two professors, one pedagogue, and three teaching assistants; a formidable faculty with which they are able to effectively develop a strong student body.
