If you want to learn what they teach in the guitar program (GIT) at Musicians Institute here in Hollywood, but don't want to spend $30k on tuition and living expenses to do it... Or, if you are planning to attend GIT yourself and want to get way ahead of the curve early, so you too can graduate with top honors... Schedule some lessons with me, at a fraction of the GIT price-tag!

Beginning, intermediate and advanced guitar players will all benefit greatly from the vast wealth of guitar- and music-related information and experience that I have to offer (no brag, just fact).

My influences include, but are by no means limited to: Frank Zappa, Joe Satriani, Steve Vai, Sting, The Cure, Duran Duran, Prince, Lady Gaga, Beethoven, Mozart, Bach, Miles Davis, Christina Aguilera, Jimi Hendrix, Queen, Béla Bartók, Igor Stravinsky...and nearly everyone else making interesting music in the world.

I specialize in rock, pop, metal and jazz bass and vocal styles. I believe in getting a student to play the music they most enjoy immediately, and learning by doing so that lesson time is fun and exciting.

I use backing tracks and beats for my students to play along to rather than always practicing solo, so they get the feel of playing real music right away.

I'm a professional songwriter having worked with my own as well as other bands, and scored soundtracks for film.

I make sure that teaching song construction is done in an easily understandable way that makes sense to even a complete beginner.

I've worked with many students in my time ranging from pro level musicians at Musicians Institute in Hollywood, as well as up and coming and beginning young students at Nickelodeon and Disney

My experience in working with a wide range of artists and bands has also given me extensive experience in engineering and recording, having worked in studios and on location for...

Stephanie has been singing and studying voice since she was a child, over 20 years! She holds a BFA from NYU's Tisch School of the Arts. Stephanie has been lucky enough to study with some of the top teachers in the country and brings the experience gained directly to you!

Born in the United States, she found her calling in music at an early age. Her hunger for knowledge and quest for vocal excellence and the ability to sing in multiple languages ( English, Spanish, Japanese and Italian), led her to Musicians Institute in Hollywood, Ca. Here is where she then attained her Associates degree in Vocal Performance after graduating from American Musical Dramatic Academy also in Hollywood, Ca and now pursuing her Bachelors in Music. Her passion for multiple languages and love of music is the desire driving her to share her gifts for teaching young children to open the door to their own musical abilities and hidden artistic desires. She is currently working on her debut album consisting of multiple languages. She is also currently directing a brand new musical consisting of her original music debuting in 2012.

I will make sure my students have fun and help them get in the right track to their musical goals. I can always be reached, via e-mail, phone,...

Musician/Songwriter/Performer

Poised, energized, and armed with unforgettable performance ability, Michelle G. is a firework in the artistic arena. Her training began at the young age of 3 with the violin, and a few years later received classes for piano and voice. Excelling in all three, Michelle developed a very passionate and dramatic personality that eventually led her to more dramatic genres such as opera and stage acting. Her aptitude to understand human emotions and relationships gives her a wide spectrum to play in as an actress. There is an organic flow to her interpretations both as an actress and musician that leads the audience to feel her emotional current. Her honest characterizations introduce deeper perspectives on what seems like the ordinary roles and storylines. Amongst the many other leads that she has played, her participation in roles like “Susanna” in The Marriage of Figaro, or “Donna Elvira” in Don Giovanni embody much vibrancy and integrity....

My name is Stephanie and I have been a professional Singer, Actor, and Dancer for 15 years. Please don't let that intimidate you - I get to do what I love and all I want is to get you doing what you have always wanted to!

I believe that if you don't like music, you are truly at a loss in life. From singing in the shower to belting like Jennifer Hudson onstage, everyone has the love of music somewhere inside them. My job is finding where that inner voice is, (literally,) and bringing it out to greet the world. This world needs more joy, and an easy way to find that is through singing.

Acting is something that has always been deeply satisfying to me as well, because it is just another way of bringing art into this world. Whatever your flavor - from Shakespeare to watching "Bridesmaids" - there is no better level of storytelling than someone getting up, telling a story, and drawing you into the world they weave for you. My job is make you an epic storyteller, in whatever...

Music is my life's work. I am passionate about the art of drums and love to share that passion with my students. Whether you are a total beginner looking to get started or an advanced practitioner working on taking your career to the next level, I can help you develop the skills to become the musician you want to be.
A little about my career: I am a professional drummer, singer, and producer based in Los Angeles. My professional credits include Blue Man Group, The National Symphony Orchestra under Grammy winning conductor Leonard Slatkin, and the European tour of The Berlioz Requiem under Grammy winning conductor Robert Shafer. I have composed and tracked music for The Discovery Channel and Black Box TV, played in orchestras on and off Broadway, performed/recorded extensively in LA, NYC, and Nashville, and spent the last decade recording and touring internationally with artists and bands of many different styles.

Becca is an all-around performer who recently moved to Los Angeles from New York City. She is classically trained, but loves to explore her interests in many different genres. She believes in pushing students to break out of their comfort zones while still maintaining a safe and supportive environment. She starts from what excites and motivates her students because, above all, she believes in having a great time on this journey to cultivating a higher skill and comfort level.

I believe that everyone can sing, it is just a matter of learning how to use your unique instrument. From a very young age I was sharing my love of the arts with others as a performer. I grew up with an immense appreciation for all forms of art and found music to be the ideal way to express myself. My extensive education and performance experience has allowed me to cultivate my skills and knowledge so that I can best support each student on their own unique journey of cultivating their authentic singing voice. As a teacher I feel so lucky to have the opportunity to support students both in my studio and through online lessons, providing the positive and supportive guidance and experiences they need in order to cultivate their own musical gifts.

Hi! My name is Ariel. Thank you so much for looking at my profile. Here is some information about my educational background, performance career, and how I believe I benefit students.

I was heralded as an “impressive young…discovery” by the Los Angeles Times in 2010 when I made my operatic debut with Long Beach Opera as Nancy T’ang in Adam’s Nixon in China. I have performed roles such as Donna Elvira in Mozart’s Don Giovanni, Micaela in Bizet’s Carmen, First Woman in Cherubini’s Medea, Second Lady in Mozart’s Die Zauberflöte, and Giovanna in Verdi’s Rigoletto. I have been a soloist with the Blackbird Music Project, and I regularly collaborate with composers in the Southern California area. I was a fourth place winner in the Palm Springs Vocal Competition and am an OperaWorks alumna. I have a Masters degree from the University of Southern California, Thornton School of Music and I have a Bachelors degree from Northern Arizona University. I also...
