Camila is practically family now. We've worked with her first on violin and now on piano since my…read moredaughter was 3 (she's now 8) and it's a highlight of the week. She keeps it fun and she'll work with your student at whatever pace that they're comfortable with. My daughter started learning with theme songs of her favorite shows because that was what kept her interested, then moved on to a blend of rock songs and classical as she got older. My point is that she's someone that will help your child love music and love to play music. Camila is an immensely talented musician and getting to see her play is a joy in and of itself. I've recommended so many people to her and they've all been happy with the results. I really can't say enough.

Camila has been an absolutely amazing violin teacher for my daughter! We have been with Camila for…read moreover two years and my daughter has learned so much! Camilla is so knowledgeable, talented, sweet, kind, and patient. She keeps my daughter very engaged by asking her what song she wants to play and adapting the song for the violin. My daughter is always excited to go to her lesson! In addition to being a wonderful teacher Camila is an amazing person!

Dr. Olevsky is an excellent violin teacher. He clearly understands the violin pedagogue philosophy…read moreand communicates it clearly to his student. My my son started with him last June and was only playing pieces from Suzuki book 1, by October of the same year he is already playing book 4 level pieces as well as scales on the 3rd position. He also helped him pass his first student orchestra audition (he's 8). I really admire his method because he uses various etude books, scales and pieces to push his student to the next level. Dr. Olevsky is a sincere and genuine violin educator. I'm glad that my son is under his guidance.

Learning a new instrument is always a challenge and you want to have the best teacher to guide you through the process and Dimitry is the absolute best. I'm very happy with my lessons.

For us, it comes down to the teachers and how they price their lessons. What I like about Santa Monica Academy of Music is that you pay by the lesson. They bill you monthly, but if there are 3 Fridays in that month, you only pay for those 3 Fridays. Other studios, there is a flat monthly rate regardless of how many lessons a week one is taking and it often comes out to paying an additional $500 a year. At Santa Monica Academy of Music, you pay for the lessons you take. Since my daughter plays multiple instruments, paying for only the lessons she takes makes a huge difference to us financially. Sharon, their administrator is well organized and friendly. While they don't have dedicated parking, there is plenty of metered parking in the area.

From the first lesson I could tell why. She's professional, kind, and patient. Not to mention very musically talented. I work full time and go to school part time, and her lessons fit in perfectly with that schedule. She guides me at my own pace. Her lessons follow a really great piano book, but there are plenty of times where we'll seamlessly swap to a random song I want to learn, from rock-and-roll to classical to movie soundtracks. Her studio is immaculate and inviting and her musical instruments are top-notch. I've seen students decades older and decades younger than myself at her studio before and after my lessons, all with smiles on their faces. I highly recommend Shannon Moses!

Her last teacher was very lenient which prevented her from improving, so having Kelly with us has really brought out the best in Jodie! I would give 10 stars to Kelly if I could :-D
