Zacharie A

Instruments: Piano Saxophone Flute

I enjoy seeing my students grow and I understand that patience is the key to success. I move at the pace of the student and I love to motivate my students to be great.

Rebecca H

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!

Yu H

Instruments: Piano

For beginning students who are children, I typically start with Hal Leonard's Essential Elements. Once the student has progressed to have a grasp of the fundamentals, I will begin to introduce a solo repertoire appropriate for their first recital performance. For adults, I try to find out what the student is interested in and guide my instruction accordingly to keep the lessons engaging and fun, no matter their ability level. Read More

Wesley P

Instruments: Piano Saxophone Flute Clarinet

I began teaching as a student at OSU, then started teaching shortly after moving to California. I have been fortunate to have experience teaching students both individually and in group settings. My private students have been of all ages and different levels. One commonality I have found between students in these different settings is that they all have different goals and things that motivate them. With this in mind, I try to provide lessons that meet the individual needs of the student, while also keeping them engaged. Read More

Astrid H

Instruments: Piano Voice

My background is in musical theater and I have sung, acted and danced my way around the world. I love what I do and love to share this passion with my students. I get the greatest joy out of helping my students connect with their own voices, gain confidence and see them grow as a person and as artists. I also teach beginners piano, because for me the piano is the perfect way to introduce children to music and give them a basic map of what music can be. Read More

Instruments: Piano Violin Viola Electric Violin

I received my Bachelors of Music in violin performance from the University of Redlands. I will be starting school in July to receive my Masters in music education from Longy School of music. I have always wanted to teach and it is important for my students to enjoy the love of music. I feel it is important to perform as well so they understand that I still need to work hard to stay a strong musician. Read More

I emphasize lifelong learning, hoping to instill a lasting love for music in my students. Read More

Adriel A

Instruments: Piano Guitar Synthesizer Ukulele Music Keyboard Acoustic Guitar

If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
I would not chose any other profession than a musician. Music is my life, music runs through my veins and I am lifeless without it. It inspires me, it motivates me, it makes me feel things i've never felt before. Without music I don't know where I would be. I am still learning things about music that I never knew before. To be a musician is to be a lifelong learner. I guess if I had to choose something other than music I'd probably choose to be a professional surfer or a doctor because the medical field and surfing are two other interests of mine.

Why did you choose your primary instrument?
I chose the guitar because I wanted to learn the music that I was listening to, then in high school my friends played the guitar and we would sit around in the basement and play Nirvana, The Beatles and classical rock music. My favorite musicians played the guitar and I wanted to be like them and play like them. This inspired me and motivated me. By learning songs that I liked and listened to, It made me want to learn even more. I could play anything I wanted to play on the guitar. This made me want to learn other instruments.

How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
If your child shows an interest, a passion and a talent for music then they are ready to start lessons. It matters because your child wants to learn about music at this point. This will motive a child to practice, and practice is the most important thing to your child succeeding in their musical studies. If your child shows no interest or passion, then they will not practice because they ultimately do not want to learn. Motivation is important in how a child learns and applies what they have learned.

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Practicing is essential to applying the things a student has learned. Without practice it would not be wise to move on to the next lesson. If a student wants to improve in their skills, posture, and mental knowledge of music, practicing is even more important than the lesson. It is important that a student stays motivated to practice, and practices everyday, even if it is 15 minutes per day. This will make a huge difference in how a student progresses. Effective practice takes applying each lesson every day.
