Hello, my name is Lilia! I have over a decade experience in teaching and offer private lessons in guitar, piano, and voice with a balance between theory, technique, and and ear training to help you play the songs you love to listen to.
I created my own lesson book for guitar and am currently working on creating lesson books for piano. These lesson books use popular songs to keep learning engaging and fun! In 2017, my husband and I created our own music lesson program called Suncho School of Music!
In addition to music, I have always had a love of sports and fitness and earned a certification in personal training from the American Council on Exercise. I love to share both my passions for fitness and music with whomever would like to learn from me.
My education includes a degree in Guitar Performance from the California Institute of the Arts, earned in 2014.
In addition to teaching, I play the role of as the lead vocalist, guitarist, and composer in my rock band, called Karkaza. We are currently working on recording our debut album and playing shows in Los Angeles and other states in the US.
My favorite part of teaching is knowing that I helped the student have a better day and give them a rewarding activity to look forward to every week. Feel free to reach out any time, I would be happy to chat with you!

My daughter loves Lilia!

She came prepared and was accommodating. Lilia showed patience with my son with autism, which I appreciated and was relieved to see. She also has great pedagogical knowledge of how to instruct a child in piano.

She does "unclean" vocals in her band, Karkaza but is super knowledgeable on regular singing. After only a couple months, I'm beginning to see some progress despite my years singing improperly.

Great location and study. Fun choice in music. Accommodating. Great at teaching a 10 yr old.

Very kind, patient & encouraging!
Outgoing & supportive of my Grandson.
Great lesson!

My daughter absolutely loves her personality and her knowledge of the guitar!

Excellent Math and Science tutoring for my boy... And the guitar lessons for both of us great! Much practicing to do...

Lilia is a very sweet teacher, however that does not keep her from making sure work gets done she will put everything into perspective and she is very professional. She makes things easier to play for smaller hands and I would for sure recommend her to anyone. 👍

Very helpful for a beginner. I've really seen improvement in the last couple of months.

Not bad.

My daughter has learned so much in a short time. Lilia is a fantastic instructor. I would highly recommend her.

Camille was happy with instructor,Lilia. She is looking forward to her next lesson.

Lilia has the most amazingly diverse set of talents ever ! She can teach you music , (guitar being the specialty ) gymnastics , or fitness . She is a fabulous , trustworthy person and you should sign up for lessons immediately !

I was Lilia's mentor at California Institute of the Arts for three years. She is a hard worker, very determined and disciplined and a very promising, unique artist. Although she is primarily a guitarist she is also a highly trained and accomplished gymnast and acrobat. I have no doubt that Lilia makes an exciting, flexible and compassionate teacher.
