Markus is the best! I can highly recommend his guitar lessons at Carpe Diem Music Center. I was a…read morecomplete beginner but even the first lesson with Markus was so much fun. I realized very fast that he has tremendous experience in teaching guitar. I've taken many lessons now and I can definitely say that he brings out the best of his students!!! If you're still looking for a great and fun guitar teacher, Markus is the one to go to!

Gabe is truly a wonderful teacher! He is professional, patient, knowledgeable and kind. As a total…read morebeginner of the bass guitar, he made sure I was forming good playing habits. I felt like I was learning useful/ important theory that didn't feel overwhelming or boring. His classes are really affordable for the quality teaching you get. If I wasn't working and being a mom full-time, I'd totally continue learning from Gabe. All to say, he works well with all ages!

I have taken bass lessons with Gabe for about two years. During that time, he taught me how to play…read morebass, the basics of guitar, and, most importantly, how to think like a musician. The area that helped me the most was music theory and how to play with anyone. Now, I have the tools to analyze any song I play or write and interpret why it may work. I can improve a bass line or be creative with the line in clever ways that I would not have thought about before. It has made me so much more comfortable jamming with anyone. With his lessons, I can get away with playing along to any song. Gabe can sometimes be a bit serious, but his seriousness made me focus much more on any given topic. The pace of the course is up to you, but Gabe will push you forward to help you play things you thought were above your level. Overall, Gabe is incredibly knowledgeable and can teach anything from the simplest concepts or techniques to something more complicated and technical.

This school of rock location has the best staff and teachers I could ever meet in my life. This will always, and continue to be where my path as a musician thrives.

Our daughter Jodie has been playing piano for over 3 years now and from those 3 years she has been…read moretaken lessons from Kelly for a year now. She has improve tremendously because of Kelly's attention and teaching strategies. She shows a great deal dedication towards our daughter's lessons and really shows a passion for sharing her talent to others. She is very knowledgable in music and it's history as my husband talks with her about it often :-) One of the things that I really like about Kelly is she isn't afraid to challenge our daughter. 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

I just started piano lessons in June/ July with Ms. Choi. She is absolutely amazing! I have never…read morefound a teacher so great. She is always on time, and has taught me so much in such a short amount of time. She is very sweet and you can tell she is the type of teacher that actually cares about her students. She wants to see them grow and improve. I would recommend her to anyone, any age. I also love that she has recitals every year for her students to get to know each other and have fun. She is the best piano teacher I've ever had and I would definitely recommend trying her.

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.

Dimitry is absolutely a great teacher. I began classes very…read morescared because I've never even touched a violin in my life but he has a lot of patience, and he explains everything so good that I stopped being afraid; he creates a very relaxed environment for you to feel confident and secure. He's always on time for classes and he's super professional. He's also flexible schedule wise, so he will always find time to fit you for lessons. 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.

I took piano lessons with Yuliya for over 10 years, and she is an incredibly gifted teacher with an…read moreextensive educational and musical background. Yuliya is not only highly professional but also wonderful with children and adults alike. I began taking lessons with her when I was in Elementary School, and she cultivated in me a love for music that grew as I got older. Through my weekly piano, music theory, and chamber music lessons, I learned to play and appreciate the works of Bach, Chopin, Mozart, Brahms, Tchaikovsky, Gershwin, and countless others. Yes, Yuliya will expect you to practice and come to lessons prepared. After all, the only way to improve is to practice what is learned in lessons. But hard work pays off, and the ability to read music and play an instrument is a gift that was worth the time, money, and effort. While I no longer live in the area and am unable to take music lessons with Yuliya, she and I still keep in touch. I wish that I still lived in LA so that I could continue learning from Yuliya....she is the best!

I could not have found a more amazing teacher than in Yuliya. My daughter has learned more in a year of weekly classes than I ever imagined. Yuliya has a great balance of knowing when to push and encourage a student, and when to ease back. There are also many fantastic recitals that allow the students to experience sharing their new musical skills with their peers.

Love Dr. Jeff. He is committed to our kids' piano journey and spends time to explain what the boys…read moreare working on. He has opened his home and heart to the well being of the community and is a great asset. Our older son has a great chemistry with his Jeff and waits eagerly every week to see him and share stories of interests. He is also a great listener.

My two daughters have been taking piano lessons from Jeffrey for several years now and they…read morecontinue to grow as musicians thru his gentle guidance (and a friendly push from their parents once in a while, too). Jeffrey is a sweet guy who takes the time to learn how to best teach each student individually -- I've seen it time and again with my girls. He keeps things fresh by encouraging them to pick songs they actually like rather than only focusing on songs from their respective technique books and he puts no undue pressure on the kids to move forward: their own pace generally works just fine. I've recommended him to several friends -- whose kids are now students -- and I'll continue to do so in the future. We're lucky he lives so close to us.

I took piano lessons as a child (from a very grumpy old lady), and around 3 years ago (at 25) I…read moredecided to start back up again. Shannon was recommended to me by a fellow musician. 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!

It was my first time taking lessons with anyone... and I chose Shannon based off of her…read morecredentials. I was doing this for my own personal growth and I was very comfortable with her. Shannon is a great teacher, very patient with my airy voice and gifted. She teaches all types of music and helps you through whatever it is you are trying to accomplish! Would recommend to anyone if you are in the area and are looking for a good voice coach. She also teaches piano!
