Certain Sparks

How did you like your music lessons? Did you go to your teacher's house and learn boring scales and exercises? Did you play the music you were really listening to? Certain Sparks Music has re-imagined the way that we teach music, so you or your child love to play. By using a combination of modern music and traditional music theory, you'll learn using the music that you love. There's no reason to pull teeth - you can learn music theory from any genre of music! You & your kid will love our music lessons!

A music instructor can play a very unique and special role in both you and your child's lives. That's why Certain Sparks Music strives to find instructors who not only can teach music, but can serve as mentors to you and your child. We think it's so important that there is a strong connection between student and teacher, because it allows for students to express themselves creatively in a safe environment. The school's music directors are required to have competency on guitar, bass, drums, vocals, ukulele, keyboards, and group ensemble.

Founded by Randall Sena in 2006, Certain Sparks Music offers a Pro Tools equipped recording studio, which features one of the best drum rooms on the Central Coast, a state of the art control room, & a large comfortable vocal booth. Artists have access to our HUGE library of of musical instruments, amplifiers, & effect pedals.

Yep, if one broke it's probably time to change them all. Bring your guitar down and we'll deep clean your guitar, and put on fresh set of strings for about $30. A "Setup" is the most important upgrade you can make to any guitar, whether it's brand new or used! A setup starts with a deep cleaning, string change, truss rod or neck adjustment, intonation, fine tuning, and minor electrical repairs. The cost is $75 + strings for most Acoustic & Electric guitars / $100 + strings for a "Floyd Rose" style bridge.

From simple do-it-yourself systems for parties and budget minded weddings, to running sound, stage & MC-ing large events like Santa Barbara County Local Fest, & Relay for Life, we have sound solutions for you.
