Music Lessons in Walnut Park, CA

Instruments: Piano Cello

I believe that every student learns differently and at different levels. I also know that you get out of lessons what you put into them so I require that students practice at home in addition to their weekly lessons. I have recitals twice a year and I believe that being able to play in a group setting and having a goal of performing really gives students the motivation to practice. Read More

Instruments: Piano Flute

In my 30 years of teaching experience, and being exposed to many methods, I chose to mix and match them to each student's ability and disposition. Each student is different with variety of expectations, abilities and interests, so as I get to know them, I try to best cater to their needs and find ways for them to learn while growing and improving on every level, not just musically. Engaging students in variety of ways of learning (visual, auditory, etc), I also care of their personal stories, which I find brings great connection and makes learning much more fun for my students as they feel heard.

Instruments: Drums

I will begin with what the student is interested in, work with songs or genres that they like and go from there. I will always make it fun and engaging no matter their ability level. I will teach with some of the Agostini's books for every level, and some books that I used in school. We will learn, develop rudiments, grooves, concepts ideas, independance together and make it fun. It will be an exchange between me and the student about music, the instrument, his/her experience and mine, everything that I can help with and make it enjoyable. Read More

Instruments: Piano Voice Trumpet Trombone Saxophone Flute Clarinet Euphonium Oboe Bassoon

I've been teaching in the greater Los Angeles area for almost 20 years, teaching students from ages 4 - 92 (yes, really! 92!). Levels range from beginning to professional, with advanced students having won scholarships and awards. I encourage all of my students to learn the language of music; to learn about their instrument and the best means of expression using that instrument.  For the past 8 years, lessons have been supplemented with an annual holiday recital where students have the opportunity to perform, which is an important part of the learning process!

Instruments: Bass Guitar Double Bass

Any piece of music can work, a horn line, a melody line etc Time: All bass players should have a strong solid, internal pulse. This is the foundation in which all bass players get most of their work from. The most important thing is that the student learns to use their ear, to learn the music he/she loves the most. Time: all bass players/students must have strong rhythms. Read More

Instruments: Guitar Electric Guitar Acoustic Guitar

In 2006, after moving to NY to attend law school, I discovered Musika. I applied to become a guitar instructor, and given my background of working 1 on 1 with many high school students over the past few years, and my experience as a guitarist to that point, I was accepted as a new instructor. Over the next year or so, I taught several young aspiring guitarists - from the age of 17, all the way down to the age of 4 - and truly enjoyed seeing each one of my students progress noticeably, week after week, in their ability to play.
