When our 9 year old son demonstrated some talent on my drum kit, my wife and I set out to enroll him in formal lessons. We had introductory lessons at a few different places (both in person and via zoom/Teams/etc.). For us, Joanna was the perfect blend of fun and technique/theory/structure. We opted for weekly 30 minute lessons via Zoom. Initially, I was hesitant about "remote" lessons, as I grew up only knowing in person lessons. Two years later, we are still doing weekly lessons and I'm extremely happy with the progress of my son. As an added bonus, sitting in his lessons has made me a better drummer. Joanna is truly a professional as both a teacher and a drummer. She provides a practical approach to learning different patterns and breaks it down to the basics, so anyone can learn, all demonstrating how these "building blocks" are used by professionals. Worth Every Penny! Some final considerations: 1. Seasonal recitals (both in-person and remote) all students to perform in front of other students and their families. This was important to us, for our son to learn to overcome stage fright and being in the spotlight. 2. We were primarily remote in our lessons, but every 6-8 weeks we were able to book an in person lesson with Joanna @ More Music in Long Beach. I love the idea of supporting a small Mom&Pop music shop vs. the big box music stores (Guitar Center). Side note, I've used Moore Music for some guitar setup work and they're top notch as well. 3. Joanna periodically has group meetups where students and their families get together (usually at a park) to socialize and learn more about each other. 4. Joanna also assigns monthly Listening Assignments, where she ask the student to listen to different styles of music. This is a great way to expose students to songs/genres they never knew. 5. We primarily play electronic drums, but for this last recital my son performed on acoustic drums. This was a big adjustment for him, but a great learning experience. Joanna is flexible and always teaching new skills. I'll say it again: WORTH EVERY PENNY.

I liked my other teachers but they either moved too fast or weren't able to teach the techniques, songs, or styles that I wanted to learn. I'm learning finger style guitar and my teacher is Clint. Aside from being a really cool guy, he's an accomplished musician, patient, and willing to spend some time familiarizing himself with the songs and artists I enjoy. If you enroll in lessons, you'll no doubt meet Noah, who is the administrative staff. He's friendly and reliable, if you ever need to contact him to cancel or reschedule a lesson. As a child, I took drum lessons for 10 years and enjoyed that feeling of developing a skill. I have this same feeling again, thanks to the school. If you are considering enrolling in the school, have a brief conversation with Noah, so that he can hook you up with the teacher who will best meet your needs (style, scheduling, etc.). When you have your first lesson, have a similar conversation with your teacher to make sure he/she is aware of your goals, the pace at which you want to learn, type of music, and your expectations. I believe you will have a great experience at this school!

From my admission to NYU Tisch Drama for musical theatre to all the professional opportunities I've been blessed with thus far in my career, she has helped set me up for success every single time. She has done so much to help me grow and develop my confidence, creative dynamism, and artistry over the seven years I've been working with her. With Maria Elena as my mentor, I've expanded not only my vocal range but also my stylistic range. She helped tear down the psychological roadblocks I'd built up for myself, giving me the tools to refine my technique and push my creativity to its ultimate limits. Even then, she'd encourage me to keep going: celebrate my wins, but never settle because there are always ways to learn and improve. I began my time with Maria Elena viewing performance as an escape from being the plain kid I thought I was, but now I view performance as an extension of myself -- a chance to become so much more than I ever thought possible. Maria Elena helped me build a strong technical foundation for my voice and showed me that, with an open mind and a strong work ethic, I'm capable of anything I put my mind to.

I would look forward to learning many different genres - from pop to jazz to musical theater - with her, and I really got to learn the nuances and differences within each genre. Her lessons weren't just singing lessons. They were also filled with music history, cultural homages, and personal anecdotes to help me improve as a musician, performer, and person. I appreciate her teaching very much, and I still take all of these techniques with me wherever I sing, whether I am working with little kids or auditioning for new opportunities. Thank you so much Ms. Maria Elena!

She has such niche expertise in the area of vocal health, I would recommend her in an instant to anyone having voice trouble. She's also a very compassionate and warm human!

She has a thorough and integrated knowledge of voice science and muscular anatomy, and a skilled sense of how to apply it accurately and prescriptively. She is wonderful to work with, and I could not be more grateful to have her helping me in this season of my vocal journey.

From the very beginning, Ms. Nina has been patient, is always so encouraging and genuinely invested in helping, not only my daughter, but every single one of her students, adult or child! I've seen how much progress my daughter has made. She went from being timid and nervous at every session to being excited about playing the piano. It's 's been so beautiful to watch her become more comfortable and confident every time she plays. This is thanks to Ms. Nina, for creating a positive and welcoming environment where her students feel comfortable and brave enough to keep thriving! I truly appreciate the dedication, professionalism, care and love that she puts into each lesson and each student. It's clear that Ms. Nina loves what she does and I feel very fortunate to have found such an inspiring piano teacher for my daughter. I highly recommend being part of her studio, especially if you're looking for a place where you or your child can learn, grow, and develop a genuine love for music! PS. Ms. Nina is also an amazing singer!!

My son started with his very first recital song, Jingle Bells, and over the years he has performed in six recitals, progressing all the way to his most recent performance--a KPop Demon Hunters song that he played as a duet with another 8-year-old. That experience was especially meaningful for helping him develop his timing and learn to play collaboratively. What we appreciate most is how Ms Nina has always met him where he is. She is kind, patient, encouraging, and has supported him as he has progressed through different levels while keeping piano fun and exciting. She also has various methods to keep piano engaging. Her fun summer activities give the kids something different to look forward to and help keep their enthusiasm for music going. The work she puts into each recital is inspiring. You can see how much time, creativity, love, and care she puts into creating a magical experience for all of her students. They aren't just recitals--they feel like celebrations of what the children have accomplished. She makes each child feel proud of their progress and gives them an experience they can be excited to share with their families. After more than three years, we are so grateful for everything she has given our son--not just piano skills, but confidence, perseverance, and a genuine excitement for music. Finding a teacher who is both talented and genuinely cares about your child is something special. I highly recommend Jeanine Craig's Music Studio.

Camilo is completely the opposite. He inspires joy in my daughter so she wants to practice and looks forward to performing. Camilo is personable and totally comfortable with children (my daughter is 9), which I absolutely appreciate, because she's not afraid of him and will talk with him about anything. Plus, this guy is incredibly talented (I get to hear him play during lessons from time to time) and he is naturally adept at teaching what he knows to newbies. After only a year, my kid is playing things I didn't expect. She has a long way to go, but she's come so far in such a short time. Honestly, coming into this, I had a low bar for a music teacher: just don't make things miserable for my daughter and teach her stuff. Camilo is far above that bar.
