Ever since I received my first drum set for Hannukah at age 8, I've been studying and playing percussion and drums. Immediately it became one of my passions in life. All my life I've been surrounded by music and art! My cousin Jessica is a songwriter, my cousin Phoebe is a violinist, my dad is an artist and my mom is passionate about music. I grew up listening to the music that my parents often put on, to name a few... The Beatles, Stan Getz, Stevie Wonder, Joni Mitchell, Neil Young, Bruce Springsteen, Yes, Joe Sample, and Todd Rundgren. With all of these influences so close to me it wasn't hard for me to realize my calling.


In elementary school I expanded my musical circle and met friends who I still play music with today. I played drums for bands in elementary, middle, and high school, including the school jazz ensembles, jazz club, high school marching band, and Camerata (advanced boys & girls choir). I have also been part of various orchestras, concert bands,...

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 have been studying music and playing guitar and bass for 24 years. I have worked with Grammy-award-winning songwriters for Sony as an engineer, and wrote, recorded and released more than 6 albums.

I am currently working with a new, groundbreaking teaching method developed by musical scientist, Alex Sioris, called Echometry. Echometry takes the mystery out of music. If you want to forget about all those confusing sharps, flats and key signature and get a real understanding of the way music actually relates to itself, I am here to help.

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...

My name is Tayler and I am a recent graduate from Mount St. Mary's college. I majored in child psychology with a minor in biology. I have a passion for working with kids. I believe that knowledge is something that should be spread among ones' community, and I can do so by helping kids.


One of the best ways to learn is to teach. Many academic studies support this idea and show that students who are able to explain and teach concepts retain far more information and perform better on tests than those who simply "memorize facts." Therefore, I strive to conduct lessons in a way that gives students the understanding, opportunity and confidence to "teach" the material as well. I have a very bubbly, outgoing personality and love being around people.

I've been teaching piano, cello, voice and theory in Los Angeles for over thirty years, helping students develop their particular interests in music and to encourage them to reach their personal goals. I love the classics but many of my students want to play popular music, contemporary sounds and jazz and that is fine too. I received my BA in music at UCLA and a Master's at Cal State Northridge. I conduct vocal and bell choirs, run a concert series, play chamber music, sing in a band and teach in the Community College District in addition to running my private studio.

I've been surrounded by music literally my entire life - both of my parents were professional classical violinists, and my first word was "gig." Before taking up guitar, I'd studied piano and cello; as I focused more on guitar, that also led to interests in electronic music, recording production and engineering, and composition. I went on to obtain a BFA in guitar performance, and have been actively playing, writing, recording, and teaching for many years.

For beginning students, I combine basic playing technique with a solid foundation in musical fundamentals, including standard notation, rhythmic reading, and (when useful) tablature. For more advanced students, my specialty is in applying a number of core concepts (including theory, ear training, and technique) to a wide range of musical styles. I'll typically use examples from rock, jazz, and blues as ways of "connecting the dots" between core music concepts and their real-world application.

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.

Hello,
My name is Rosa and I just graduated with a bachelor's math degree from UCLA. I tutored for two years at my community college and enjoyed the experience. I like working with people and helping people. I am very approachable! People liked my teaching style.

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...
