My love for music began at the age of 2 when my mother first took me to a small local music school. Ever since that day, I have always found myself studying one type of instrument or another. My sound as a drummer, composer, producer and instructor is a culmination of my experience across varied genres. Following a yearlong intensive training at the renowned Collective School of Music in Manhattan, I pursued a BFA degree at the famous New School for Jazz and Contemporary Music. I majored in music performance as a drummer and graduated with honors. While at school, I trained under some of New York City's finest. I have successfully extracted various techniques from these distinguished musicians and incorporated them into my own distinct style. During my years at the New School, I also worked at the renowned Drummers Collective School of Music, where I taught privately, and played gigs at various clubs throughout the City. After graduating, I decided to move to Los Angeles where I...

Hi!

I have taught piano for about 20 years, with great success. Some of my students are as young as 3 years old, (including my own son) some are in their 70s, and everything in between. I love to teach piano and guitar, it gives me great joy and personal satisfaction. I've traveled the world in concert, but after having my baby I have settled in Beverly Hills, CA where I perform for and teach many celebrities and their children.

I am very patient, caring and encouraging in my teaching approach.

I hope to hear from you soon, and to have you among my many happy students.

Oksana.

I have been involved in music for the last 25 years. In this time I have played in many bands and recorded on several major records. I also toured the world for 6 years playing in theaters to arenas.

I know much about playing the guitar and being an artist. I am passionate about music, which is why lessons with me are so fun. I know how to customize a program for the motivated student that will bring out the potential of the student at all levels. I will give the student a complete and practical program for advancement and help he or she discover their own talents at a pace that works for them. I even on occasion will conduct blues jams and other challenges such as recording and how to do a You Tube video production that will give the student a chance to use there developing skills by themselves and with others. Here is feedback from one of the parents of a student of mine:

"Alex progressed much further with guitar than he did with piano and he actually got to the point where he enjoyed playing on his own....

I am a working actor and performer based in Los Angeles, California. I was trained at UC Berkeley, classically, and also privately with renowned voice teacher, Seth Riggs for several years. I specialize in teaching a blend of bel canto and modern pop techniques. I have experience singing in at least 10 different languages: Italian, French, Javanese, Latin, Arabic and English to name a few.

As student and teacher, we will keep the vitality for the instrument when the beginning stages of the instrument can be discouraging. The violin is an impressive instrument with a huge history and design that has not changed in 500 years! Be a part of that beautiful history!

My name is Chad, and I am passionate about guitar! It wasn't until I was 14 years old that I picked up my first guitar, but from that point forward guitar has been a major part of my life. Since then, I have been able to write songs, record, and perform with the guitar in a variety of bands and musical settings. I have had the privilege of teaching guitar for the past 5 and 1/2 years to a variety of students, ages, and skill levels. During that time, I taught nine semesters of guitar in the classroom and completed my Master's in Curriculum and Instruction. My experience and educational background allow me to offer quality, focused guitar instruction, in an engaging and fun atmosphere! The majority of my students range from 5 to 25 years of age, so I have a lot of experience with kids!

I have been teaching piano to children and adults for over 20 years and specialize in classical and pop.

Also, having had a professional career as a singer-dancer in Film, TV and Stage, my students benefit from this performance experience.

I am a professional voice teacher, professional singer and master yoga teacher. After completing a Bachelor’s in music, a Master’s degree in Vocal Performance and a 500-hour yoga certification, I began my teaching career. I teach a variety of genres including my favorites, musical theater, opera, pop and rock.

I discovered that by incorporating yogic breathing (and various yogic ideas/exercises), with a positive teaching style, my students experienced accelerated growth. This tool helps students center and focus, freeing the voice. Incorporating aspects of yoga helps the student connect to their body, maximizing the use of their instrument. I specialize in maximizing my students’ abilities to express their art, build confidence, and perform comfortably.

Over the last 8 years I have shared my unique knowledge with hundreds of students, ages 5 and up. I help students develop the skills to sing any genre of music. I emphasize proper technique and vocal safety and connect...
