Even it was my first lesson I can feel the progress and I am confident about achieving my goal. Thanks Ian!!

Xiaoqi

Ian is fantastic teacher. He was so patient with my toddler daughter. And when she became fuzzy during the class, Ian could be so creative to always come out with a way to calm her down and redirect her attention to other musical things. I would love him to be my daughter’s music teacher for as long as possible if I did not have to move.

Ian is very knowledgeable and is great in explaining theory and great in demonstrating so you can understand.

Michael helped me overcome a lot of my insecurities around singing. He made me feel comfortable every step of the way and also challenged me to explore my voice beyond what was possible before. He made me a better singer and a better person, truly. I am grateful for his dedication and compassionate spirit and every lesson I took with him was well worth it!

So far great - just started

Kay D.

Billy is a patient instructor who is perfect for a beginner with some musical knowledge. I feel like we accomplished quite a bit in one lesson and I am looking forward to advancing under his guidance! #totallyworthit

Flaminia D.

I have been taking lessons with Billy since January 2015. I am a total beginner and I really think I have made the best choice ever to pick him as my teacher. Billy is an experienced guitar teacher and a professional player that knows great techniques for beginners. He has been teaching me basics of guitar in a smart way, and at each lesson I feel I learn something new and at the same time I can clearly see how much progress I have made since our first lesson. He has also been teaching me how to read music and tabs which proofed to be extremely useful every time I want to learn a new song by myself. Highly recommended!

Online Songwriting Teacher

Hi! I am Alicia and I have been a songwriter for over 20 years. I have a bachelor degree in Music Ministry with training in Worship Leadership and Songwriting. I’ve written over 500 songs through the years and find it to be my passion to teach others to write as well. My goals as your songwriting couch are to help you find your style by narrowing down your strengths and weaknesses when it comes to writing. Some students may be stronger in lyrical writing and some stronger in the melody and rhythm. We start with your strengths and desires on what you’d like to grow in and go from there. I believe anyone is able to write songs. And everyone can sing and has a voice that can influence at least one person but perhaps more! But it all starts in the beginning stages of growth behind the scenes, tackling the cohesion of strong lyrics, new and exciting melody hooks, unique rhythms and influential in the day we live in today! So whatever your goals are and whatever you are seeking help with, I

Alicia has been a great vocal coach. She is knowledgeable about music and always takes the time to explain why we do the exercises we do. She adapts lessons based on things that I told her I wanted to try. Then, she encourages me to keep going!

He has a good ear and can help quickly with transcriptions. More importantly, he also gave some practical advice.

My son enjoys his music lessons with Jonathan, who is infinitely patient teaching what can be a challenging instrument. My son responds well to Jonathan's instruction, and he appreciates having access to a professional performer as a teacher. Jonathan encourages my son to learn a variety of music, including both challenging classical pieces and more recognizable popular and jazz pieces, which helps to sustain his interest in the lessons.
