Acerca de Summer L.

My primary goal as a teacher is to make music lessons a positive, life-enriching experience for my students. Above all, our lessons will focus on reaching your musical potential and goals. Lesson curriculum will cover the practical skills you need in order to develop musical fluency, creativity, and confidence so playing your instrument and learning new material doesn’t become a mundane or stressful chore. I have been teaching piano, guitar, and music theory for the past 12 years in both private and classroom settings, working with students of all ages, levels, and musical backgrounds, including students with special needs.    I hold a Master’s degree in Music from University of California, Irvine and a Bachelor of Music degree in Performance and Audio Engineering from Berklee College of Music, Boston. Over the last decade, I’ve been based in New York and Southern California, where I run my private music studio, teaching students across the country via online and in-person lessons, in addition to performing in various settings and working as an accompanist and music director. Please feel free to send me a message if you have any questions about lessons or scheduling!

Summer is not just a teacher, she is a friend. My best friend and I began lessons with Summer when we were 9 years old. We are both 18 now and the excitement of our weekly lessons have not dimmed in the slightest. Summer has instilled in us not only a deep love for the instrument, but also for the songs themselves - for music. We now listen, sing and play with an ear that is so unique to Summer's teaching style. My love and gratitude for Summer is immeasurable. <3

I have been taking guitar lessons with Summer for one year. My experience has been overwhelmingly positive. Summer is kind, patient, and never judgmental or critical. She is an incredible musician herself and has an impressive musical education. I had always wanted to play the guitar and am so happy I finally made the time for myself. So many people think they don’t have the time to learn, but even taking 15-30 minutes a day to practice will turn you into a guitar player in no time! Learning a new instrument has done wonders for my self-confidence - I never thought I’d be playing the guitar at a recital in front of 40 people! I would recommend Summer to anyone who is interested learning to play an instrument!
