Then, there is no one better, because he is a born teacher who specializes in knowing how to teach and enthuse the student to fall in love with learning the art of making music. It has been my honor to work alongside professor Campos.

Dr Carlos Campos is the kind of music educator that I would loved to have had when I was starting out! Not only is he brilliant in music theory and analysis, but his passion and insight into creativity is highly contagious! His mentorship in music inspires musicians to be well developed in their skills and excited about their own personal journey of discovery.

I have worked with Carlos Campos for many years, both in the areas of music education and production. As an educator, Dr. Campos can guide you through most areas of your music making; but most importantly, Dr. Campos will light your soul with inspiration, and infuse in you the drive to grow and to reach your full potential as a musician and as a complete human being.

—Kwang Il Lee (Professional Bassist, BM in Bass Performance at CSCM)
Carlos is not only a master in music theory and keyboard harmony, but he also helps students on philosophical concepts; for instance, he emphasizes awareness and being in the moment when playing music.
—Eliseo Borrero (Bassist, Paco de Lucia, Oscar Hernandez)
After more than 20 years of my career in the classical music field, I had never approached Jazz. I needed both an academic and step by step method to go about my Jazz studies. After studying with Carlos, he opened a new colorful door for a fresh palette of improvisation techniques that boosted my musical thinking.
—Yalil Guerra (Ph.D candidate, recipient of UCLA Cota-Robles Fellowship, Grammy Award winning Composer)
Carlos Campos is truly a Maestro in the area of contemporary music. He enjoys to share freely all of his knowledge while at the same time choosing the right information to keep one focused, grounded and growing as a musician. Studying with him is definitely helping me to achieve my musical goals.
—Miguel Rojas (MM Contemporary Performance at CSCM)
Whether you are a beginning or professional musician, Dr. Campos’ wealth of knowledge and method of teaching, will improve your music knowledge, skills, and performance. Lessons are taught in a comfortable yet challenging manner!
—Timothy Cooley (Public and private school music teacher, freelance musician, and student)
I'm a professional drummer and after studying Ear Training, Solfege and Keyboard Skills with Carlos, I realized that I could my drums more melodically and with an increase sense of awareness and harmony. Carlos is a great teacher, not only for pianists but also for drummers or any musician interested in going deeper with their musical practice. I would highly recommend studying with Carlos.
—Young Bin Park (MM Drum Performance)
I consider Carlos Campos more than a teacher, he is more of like mentor. I'm very glad I got to meet him and learn from him. He has a very particular approach to music. He invites you to go deeper into other aspects that surround and relate to music that, in the end, makes you a better and more rounded, conscious musician.
—Juan Manuel Ferron (MM Film Scoring @ CSCM)
