It is my experience that no matter what kind of music you end up playing a solid classical piano background is invaluable. I was privately trained in classical piano from the ages 5 - 17 in Los Angeles, California. My teachers were Mary Brady, Mae Gilbert Reese and Jeane Weiss. I graduated from Harvard High School and then graduated from UCLA with BA in art. I am a Los Angeles based artist and composer. Recently I was nominated Best Music Director of the year by the L.A. Weekly for my work on 'Head the Musical' at the Met Theater Los Angeles in 2010. I am currently mounting an opera I wrote at the Met Theater. I have been teaching private piano lessons to students ages 8 to adult for the last six years.

My experience as a musical director has honed my skills as a good communicator and teacher. I know how to get people trained and motivated to perform on stage with confidence no matter what their skill level.

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...

I am a graduate of Conservatory of Music in Iran. I have been playing piano since I was 6 years old. My background and training is in classical music but I am very comfortable working with students who are interested in popular, jazz, broadway or new age music.
I am also a kindermusick educator which gave me the opportunity to work with babies and moms introducing the notion of music and rythm to them with singing and introduction of instruments.

I have taught private guitar, piano, bass and drum lessons since the late 70s in Salt Lake City, where I majored in jazz guitar performance, and since 1980 in Los Angeles. I make the lessons fun. Some of my students have received college scholarships and won cash prizes for music contests. All of them had fun while learning and improving on their instruments.

Individualized training to best suit the needs, skill level and goals of each student in all genres of music. I tailor each lesson to meet my student's music aspirations. I'm creative, patient and caring.

I'm a Berklee College of Music Graduate in Vocal Performance. I've coached voice students, taught contemporary music theory lessons and conducted performance labs in all genres of music, all ages, privately and in a group setting for the past eight years. I've established my own private vocal studio and taught in-home lessons in Sydney Australia before moving to Los Angeles.

Aside from being a teacher, I'm also a session singer and have performed with various general business bands in contemporary Jazz R&B Pop ensembles in Boston, New York, Washington DC, Los Angeles, Sydney and Jakarta. Now I'm based in Los Angeles CA where I manage and perform with my band “Soul Seasonings” www.soulseasoningsband.com. I'm also currently working on my own original compositions.

Hey guys! I'm Jay, and I'll make this short. I love teaching a variety of subjects because of my variety of experiences--Masters from USC, write music for the No. 1 kids' show "LEGO NInjago," performed music all around the world. I've taught ages 4 to 72, and nothing is more rewarding than sharing what I've learned with the person who will do it next!

I studied piano in Germany with Lola Poirier (a student of the famous Alfred Cortot) for 11 years, then with Philiip Evans in New York (professor at the Manhattan School of Music) and finally with world-renowned concert pianist Eugene Liszt at Carnegie-Mellon University, where i received my Bachelor of Music in Piano Performance with a Minor in Child Pedagogy.

For the past twenty-two years i have been teaching students of all levels and ages, incorporating some of my former teachers' methods with my own teaching style. I am passionate about awakening a hunger in each of my students for bringing and keeping music in their lives forever. I don't look at my students as children who play an instrument, but as young artists on the road to self-discovery and musical fulfillment! Although many of my students have used their proficiency in piano for college applications and scholarship opportunities, my goal remains to bring them to such a high level of playing that they will be able...

Ryan started his music with piano lessons at age four while lending his vocal talents in the recording booth for his musician/writer/ arranger father, Rick. Ryan was playing in piano recitals by age six, segued from keyboards to drums at age 14, and was subsequently accepted into the University of California, Santa Barbara percussion program after high school.

While an undergraduate at UCSB, Ryan spent three years as the principal timpanist for the UCSB Symphony and five years as timpanist with the UCSB Wind Ensemble. Concurrently over the same five year period, he performed with a diversity of UCSB ensembles, Orchestra and Jazz combos, work with the College of Creative Studies department (CCS), and a variety of recording and recital work in and outside the university. Chiefly among these was the UCSB Percussion Ensemble, where Ryan performed on a variety of percussive instruments, in solo or featured pieces. He worked over two years as a percussionist with the Santa...

I am a New England Conservatory graduate, employed for the last decade as the feature pianist at the Polo Lounge in the Beverly Hills Hotel. I am qualified to teach all levels of piano and music theory from the beginner to the aspiring professional. I have taught for the last 20 years and my experience as a performer and recording artist means that I will be able to help you achieve a level of success that you have always dreamed of.

While most 5 year olds were singing along to silly songs, I was entranced by the tribal drumming in the Michael Jackson's "Will you be there". When most Junior High student were listening to, well, whatever made them "cool", I was thinking of what John Lennon meant in his lyrics for "Strawberry Fields Forever." I have always had a deep passion for music that goes beyond the surface. I connect with the very soul of music.

Writing my first song at the age of 7, the creative fire began to use music to express what no other form of communication could. Struggling with the limitations of my vocal abilities at the age of 16, I decided to intensify my study of the voice, taking hundreds of private lessons in such techniques as Bel Canto Vocal Technique, Speech Level Singing(TM), Progressive Vocal Techniques(TM), and others, as well as reading dozens of books and hundreds of research articles on the mechanisms of the voice. While attending (and eventually graduating from) San Diego...

I'm surrounded by music and musicians everyday! I spend most of my hours recording musicians in my studio, but get the most benefit out of teaching students there. I Give my students the opportunity to not only learn to master their instrument, but also the chance to learn how to be a studio musician. Students of mine have the opportunity to record any of their lessons (that we hold in my studio) as i feel most students never get the opportunity to hear themselves play. I graduated from Ball State University under the instruction of Hans Sturm, former President of the International Society of Bassists.

I’m a professional bass player with a lot of experience touring around the world. Toured with Colbie Caillat, Andy Grammer, Redlight King, Ellis Hall, and lots of Jazz/funk/R&B/Pop musicians. I also do studio sessions and produce. Happy to teach everything from the fundamentals to in-depth theory, all style from slap to walking jazz bass, pop and rock, to latin and funk. I’ve been teaching for years and love helping kids and adults grow in to jamming, rocking, and writing on the bass. I also play and teach a few other instruments on a beginner level. As I said, I write and produce music at my home studio and am happy to share and teach my techniques. I write the lesson plans according to each student so that the student is learning what they want and need to know in order to have music at your finger tips. I've studied harmony and Jazz theory in college and have had several world renowned musicians as private teachers. I've been teaching for the past 5 years using the same...
