I lucked into taking lessons with Laura because it was the closest studio to my job when I moved…read morehere. A happier accident there will never be. Laura has taught me more about guitar playing at a technical level and musicianship as a whole than I would have thought possible. She is an expert in every aspect and has a brilliant talent for translating complex concepts into simple ideas that even I could understand. If you want to truly take control of your guitar booking with Laura will be the best investment you could make.

I have been playing guitar for 30 years but only had lessons the first few years of my playing…read more After years and years of playing for self enjoyment and staying stagnant in my expertise I decided to take lessons again to up my game. Laura was recommended to me by a friend and I decided to give it a shot. I am still pleasantly surprised by the experiences. She teaches guitar like no other, truly amazing. I was not interested in having a teacher that only shows where to put fingers. Laura covers all aspects of guitar playing and performing. She has many many years of experience as a player and performer. She teaches aspects of playing I never thought of, including relaxation,confidence and focus. She was able to show me things about my playing that I never realized after 30 years of playing. She specializes in metal but she is very accomplished in all styles of playing and in music theory. Whatever it is you are looking to learn she can teach it to you in a way you cannot find from watching videos or reading books. Too bad I wasted so much time and effort trying to advance that way. I am pleased to say I moved from an intermediate player to advanced in a surprising short period of time. She has been able to unleash the true guitarist that was deep down inside that I didnt know existed. This has been accomplished with frequent lessons and about 30 mins to one hour of practice a day. I have been taking lessons from her for about a year and a half. She is a wonderful person, a true joy to be around. I cant say anything negative about her or her teaching and would not be able to give any advice on what she can improve on. Give her a shot, you will be glad you did.

Kathryn is an excellent and creative harp teacher I would highly recommend to a student of any age…read moreand level. From my very first lesson it was clear that she genuinely cares about her students' growth, confidence, and most of all enjoyment; not just their ability. She creates a welcoming and encouraging atmosphere that makes learning both pleasant and stress-free, whether you're a beginner or advanced. What I appreciate most about Kathryn is her ability to tailor lessons specifically for my ability and goals. She takes the time to understand my learning style and then creates lessons that are challenging and fun. She has a great way of explaining concepts into manageable steps and presents them in a way that feels more like a conversation than tedious theory or instructions. She is extremely talented and knowledgeable technically but approaches learning with a delightful and calming uniqueness. My progress feels steady and rewarding and she always celebrates my improvements, no matter how small. Kathryn is professional, knowledgeable, incredibly talented, and supportive. If you're looking for someone who can inspire your love of learning the harp and music while helping you build real skills, she is the teacher for you. You will not find a more talented and personable teacher who truly understands her students and works to develop and cultivate their ability and love for the harp and music.

I've been working with Vanessa on and off for one year now and without hesitation will state that…read moreher instruction, guidance, and support is well worth the investment and time. I was trying to transition from an instrumentalist (guitar) to a singer/songwriter. I wanted to sing, but was very apprehensive of my vocals so I took the step to seek professional instruction. I was initially wary of the going rates for one-on-one vocal/music instruction so I chose very carefully based on what information I could get about a handful of instructors in the San Diego area. Vanessa's web presence was unique and personal; describing her aspirations, influences, and credentials in a very stylized way. I liked her style instantly and felt this was someone I could relate to. What you will find with Vanessa is someone that is keen on picking up on the nuances of her students ways of learning, and providing undivided attention and encouragement. There is nothing textbook about her teaching style, however her knowledge is solid and deep. Rather a mentor with the best advice and encouragement; exactly what I was looking for. I leave every session feeling more confident with added suggestions/tasks on how to progress. She has encouraged me to read insightful books on songwriting and musicianship, critiqued and improved my own work, paid close attention to the genres and styles that I wanted to attain, vocal exercises and all that, but most of all she has the patience of a saint and a desire to truly provide paths to my improvement. Beyond vocal work, I also wanted to patch up my music theory and decided to do this while taking on the piano (knowing that I could transfer the same concepts over to my guitar). Vanessa is an excellent and accomplished pianist and songwriter with a free flowing style. I already have the dexterity and knew the direction where I wanted my piano music to go so we were quickly able to get through my gaps of theory, apply it, understand, make it click.. and improve my songwriting through the piano and while on my own into the guitar. To mention, I've also sent my daughter to her for instruction and musical awareness whenever I couldn't make a session or had extra budget. I didn't ask her specifically to teach piano but to help me encourage music in general with her. After these sessions my daughter comes home and thoughtfully plays on the keyboard, experimenting, starting to put together melodies. When/if she decides she wants consistent weekly instruction I trust Vanessa to be a good choice. Vanessa is a bright star above a sea of options.

I started with pretty much no experience and Vanessa helped me grow to finally being comfortable with my singing voice, to where I could sing in front of people.

Highly suggest to anyone trying to learn to sing and make a great friend at the same time!!!
