Louder - Musical Instruments & Teachers Near Me

I didn't play guitar for a decade. Lorie helped me to rapidly relearn what I had forgotten and get rid of bad habits I didn't know I had. Now I play better than ever. I was so impressed, I signed my son up to study drums with Lorie and he's going wild! She's terrific! The best in Los Angeles for guitar and drums lessons!! read more

I'm so glad I went with guitar lessons and voice lessons at louder! The voice teacher helped me transcend and break through so many of my self limiting beliefs and the guitar teacher actually helped me with music production and recording lessons as well so I could start recording my songs and putting together my own home music studio. It's been so fun and meaningful. It's also super exciting to see a platform that has piano lessons, guitar lessons, AND urban horticulture lessons. Can't wait to explore more into this and take advantage of these offerings. read more

Louder - snapshot from one of our lessons! - Musical Instruments & Teachers Near Me

I had the pleasure of taking voice lessons with Simha and I could not believe how much I improved because of it!! I am primarily an instrumentalist (piano and flute) who dabbles in singing. It was great since Simha is also a multi-instrumentalist, they understood where I was coming from and how to correlate techniques like breathe control with my primary instrument, the flute. Simha is a very generous and caring teacher but knows when to push and challenge me. Along with vocal lessons , Simha took the time to incorporate vocal production lessons where we dove into how bgvs fit into a song, stacking vocals, singing in tune and pronunciation. I highly recommend Simha esp if you're a singer, producer or want to learn more in the jazz,rnb, soul realm. read more

Daniel is the most extraordinary piano teacher and drum teacher for my kids. He is super fun and lively but also keeps them on task during their piano lessons (and drums).

I couldn't be happier with my art lessons with my teacher Ari and the ease of booking through Louder. Ari is helping me work through some of the blocks that I've had with my creativity. As a design professional, I had almost forgotten how to tap into that playful, intuitive place. Happy to say these lessons are giving me the space to get inspired snd to feel confident in my creative expression again. Woo hoo! read more

Wow my friend just told me about this school for creatives and I'm so excited to try out some of these classes! I've never seen a space that has such a unique blend of instructors. I've always wanted to learn how to use Logic and I'm stoked to see there is a female instructor available. This feels like a one stop fantasy shop where I can fulfill so many creative desires! Here's my ideal week at louder...Learn to record my guitar riffs with Logic, painting class with watercolors, movement for creative flow, and urban horticulture so I can learn to grow my own food! Oh and get a Human Design Reading! Thank you to the founder Lorie for your vision! I feel like this is truly a space that celebrates artists in all their forms. Love it! read more

I have been taking piano lessons virtually with Sophia for two months now, and I'm so impressed! I learned some piano basics as a child and then had a long gap before trying to get into it again, and I was finding it difficult to remain engaged when trying to learn new songs. Sophia has offered me different approaches to learning music--and even for writing my own songs--that have been both creatively stimulating and much more efficient. She thinks about music very holistically, so every lesson we think about a piece from a different perspective. I highly recommend lessons with Sophia if you are looking for new inspiration to play around with music again! read more

I'd wanted to learn piano since I was a child, but my family couldn't afford lessons. After years of thinking I was too old to learn music as an adult, I decided to go for it. I worked with a different teacher for a short time and when she moved out of state, I turned to Yelp to find new piano lessons. I'm so glad I did because that's how I found Lorie! I've been working with her for about 8 months now and she's truly the best. Lorie works with students of ALL ages, catering her sheet music, lessons, and approach to each individual student. She has a convenient studio in Echo Park, or she does in-home or FaceTime lessons. I've had a mix of all 3 and most of my lessons have been through video, which I honestly was worried wouldn't be as effective, but they've been just as great as in-person lessons (and I don't have to clean my house beforehand!) The first time Lorie came over for a lesson, I was impressed by the meticulous level of detail and preparation she had put into the first visit. She had asked me in advance for a list of songs I wanted to learn and brought an organized binder with resources (circle of fifths, warm-up exercises in each key, etc) printed sheet music for the songs I wanted, which she had researched and found the best arrangement for my level, other songs she thought would be good to learn based on my musical taste, spaces for notes, and recommendations for books and resources to buy. If there is a song I want to learn or new music I find, she encourages me to scan it to her so that she can re-work anything she needs to to adjust it to my skill level. Lorie will work with you and be understanding if you're a busy adult who can only promise one or two practice times a week, if you have questions about a song or get stuck between lessons, or whatever happens in life that might throw things off. If a song we are working on isn't sounding right, she will re-write the notes on the spot so that it's easier to learn or sounds the best that it can. What I love about her is that she is passionate about helping her students to truly understand music theory and the fundamentals of how songs are structured, learning how chords are built and commonly used chords, etc. other than just learning to play the songs alone. In the short time I've worked with her, I've really been proud of my the progress of my sightreading skills and how quickly I can put a song together. I've felt comfortable sitting down at pianos and playing melodies without sheet music at social gatherings. One of my goals is to play the grand piano at Union Station (ever notice how everyone who plays that one is REALLY good?) and I feel like Lorie's style of "teaching a man/woman how to fish" will really pay off in my understanding of music in the long term. Not only is Lorie an impressive, dedicated lifelong musician and amazing teacher, she is sweet, kind, compassionate, and truly cares about her students as well as her craft. I'd highly recommend her to any music student of any age! Thanks for helping me to realize a lifelong dream, Lorie! read more

I love seeing this platform for music and art lessons that includes mindfulness and meditation. Having a private and meditation practice for decades has taught me the importance of going inward for artistic inspiration. It has been so helpful in allowing the flow of creating to go beyond the practical side of creating music. I have worked personally with the platform creator and find her to be very thoughtful in her process and committed to working with students who are looking for different avenues towards artistic expression. read more

I'm so glad I got my fiancé piano lessons with louder because she is loving them and the approach has been such a great fit for her! Where most music schools in Los Angeles and New York are still teaching students in a more traditional way, the lessons at louder have given my fiancé the tools and confidence to go inward and write her own songs and record them with some music production lessons on top of playing the kinds of songs she really loves with her piano teacher. I'm excited to see they have horticulture and chess lessons, too!! read more

I live in East Los Angeles and take piano lessons with Daniel, and I really enjoy them. It's 30 minutes a week (you can adjust your the time to however long you want your lesson to be). He does an amazing job of helping me progress without overwhelming me. He will explain things to me in different ways if I'm not understanding right away, and he's very patient. I took piano growing up and I really disliked it. I've never enjoyed piano as much as I do now. Daniel is a great piano teacher. read more

I started working with Kennedy, the epic louder I can't hear u Horticulture teacher, when I moved into my new apartment with a garden box and wanted to grow my own simple veggies and herbs to cook with. I had essentially no real knowledge of how to grow plants and they helped me understand where to start, how to tend to, and harvest my own food. It has been such a genuine pleasure working with them and getting our hands in the dirt, which is always satisfying. My tomato, eggplant, basil, and rosemary plants are thriving! read more

Louder - snapshot from one of our lessons. - Musical Instruments & Teachers Near Me

The piano instructor is amazing!! I'm generally very poorly coordinated so playing an instrument like the piano seemed like adaunting challenge. But the piano lessons covered incremental steps and it broke down the organization of the keys and the different notes enough for me to practice at home. Above all, she was naturally very patient and used a number of didactic tools like flash cards that even when I would have learning blocks I was able to cover ground in different areas of piano instruction! I highly highly recommend this place to anyone, especially those who think they're not musically inclined (as I once I thought I was). read more

I WISH Lorie had taught me piano lessons when I was my daughter Julia's age. In short she's an amazing piano teacher. Patient and kind - even with a sometimes fussy teenager. The best part is my daughter is playing amazingly well. Every time I hear her practice songs filling our house with music from LA LA Land my heart swells with pride. Lorie's as good as it gets - oh and most of Julia's lessons are via SKYPE. Which work out perfectly for our schedules. Her prices are a bargain for the love and attention she puts into her work. I've even recommended her to a neighbor who loves her as much as my daughter. Our family can't recommend Lorie and Silver Lake Piano Lessons enough. read more

Louder - Lorie with our daughter and her friend after a "jam session" at our house. She's awesome and makes music so much fun. - Musical Instruments & Teachers Near Me

Lorie is a fantastic teacher and should be your top choice! I took piano lessons from her as an adult learner who had previous training on other instruments (mandolin and symphonic percussion). I particularly appreciated how she could help me learn by drawing analogies from other instruments to jump-start my progress. I also really valued how Lorie took a parallel approach with my learning. On one hand, she taught me to be an intuitive learner, thinking about how the music works. On the other hand, she and I worked off of sheet music and theory to support my technical learning. As a result, I have a much better feel for playing to go with my fundamentals of how to play. Even more than her pedagogical approach, I can't say how much I enjoyed the time we had together. She is a great and wonderful person who makes you love playing music together - I always looked forward to my lessons. When I was moving out of town, Lorie even played at my going-away party -- she is just that awesome. read more

Lori has been my piano teacher for over a year and I'm so grateful for her way of teaching. With her guidance, I've learned and grown so much with the piano. She's also very accommodating. Since the coronavirus outbreak I became scared and wanted to do online piano lessons only. Since she already does that with other students it was an easy transition. Now we facetime our sessions and it's been great and I feel safe. read more

I have been helping Lorie on a Real Estate endeavor, and having taken piano lessons when I was a kid, decided to take a couple lessons again with her. What an inspirational teacher! I feel like I learned more in two days than I would have in two weeks with anyone else! Lorie is such a sweetheart and I would seriously recommend her to anyone! She informed me she is also a piano teacher for kids when I was talking about my 17-month-old son! He will be taking his own lessons with her in a few years. Then! She told me she had given mandolin lessons in the past as well! I picked up the mandolin when I was 6 and definitely plan on revisiting it when I have some time. Moral of the story? Lorie is awesome. read more

Lorie at Silver Lake Piano is our dream piano teacher! Our daughter wanted to learn how to play piano, but she is easily discouraged and we were worried that it would be difficult to find a teacher to match her personality. Rather than boring drills, our daughter came home from the first lesson playing a beautiful song and has never looked back. Lorie peppers in theory, different styles and keeps the joy of music front and center in every lesson. We've recommended her to friends and all of them adore her. During hectic school months she even offers lessons via Skype so we don't have to drive in traffic when we have little time what with hours of homework and after-school commitments. What a great option!!! read more

Lorie Bromley was sent to me by the universe to save me from myself and the other piano teachers who have kept me away from the keys. She is powerful, patient [but pushes you to what she knows is your potential] , intelligent, warm, and motivating. Lorie literally wants to make your music dreams come true and caters each piano lesson to the student - to ensure that everyone's goals are met. I am a songwriter/recording artist and Lorie has helped me take control of my music in a way that has really changed the game for me. In just months I had a better grasp on my songs and was able to accompany myself, with better arrangements than I ever imagined. Learning from someone who makes me feel so emotionally and physically safe and taken care of is a true gift. She's the first piano teacher I would recommend to my friends with children who want to learn. Definitely the best piano teacher for kids out there. Lorie embodies music and love. I couldn't recommend her more highly. read more

So great! My girlfriend took piano lessons with Lorie and she would come home so happy and inspired. "She listens to me, she's patient with me, very experienced and friendly!" If we hadn't moved she would have definitely kept going. I'd even pay for it strictly on how happy she was when she got home from her lessons. Plus its not expensive considering how much she would learn and enjoyed it! Thank you Lorie! read more

Louder I can't hear u is such a great resource! I especially appreciated the intuitive and customized approach for bass lessons and music production lessons in logic. read more

I take piano lessons with Lorie and she is terrific -- over the last two years I've gone from a total beginner to someone who is comfortable reading music and playing from chord charts, as well as writing my own chord progressions. Lorie has also helped me with music theory, which translates to other instruments, so it's almost like getting guitar lessons as well! read more

We love teacher Lorie! She is truly an exceptional piano teacher. My daughter looks forward every week to see her and play piano along her side. I highly recommend her. She's professional, kind, and connects well with kids. She also has the best intentions for my daughter. Teacher Lorie went out of her way to personalized a composition book so my daughter may compose her own piano notes in it. Just too generous! read more

We needed to find someone who could give online guitar lessons for our son and this was the place that hit the spot. Thank you!

I had a great time taking piano lessons here, my teacher was very helpful, straight to the point, and I felt very confident taking what she taught me to my piano at home! I would definitely recommend her! read more

I've been wanting to learn piano for the past few years and nervous that it would be difficult for someone like myself (late 20s, no musical experience whatsoever). One email and phone call later and I was absolutely positive that Lorie would be a fantastic teacher. She still exceeded my expectations. Extremely kind, smart, and creative, Lorie makes learning piano very fun and approachable. Whenever a new concept or exercise seems difficult/intimidating, Lorie quickly quells my worries and reduces the lesson to very easy-to-understand pieces. Before I know it, it just makes sense! She is supportive and patient every step of the way. Lorie's passion is contagious and inspirational. I leave every lesson looking forward to the next. She teaches at all levels and even offers FaceTime/Skype lessons. Boom! Convenience! I highly recommend Lorie. read more
