John H

Instruments: Piano Voice

I am a Los Angeles native who's excited to pass on the legacy of music to curious minds! In 2020, I graduated with my Master's Degree from the Boston Conservatory in Music, and this education has left me with a deep understanding of many different aspects of music, including piano and vocal performance, composition, history and dramaturgy, and theory. I believe learning is about developing a fluency in music in general as well as understanding and implementing specific techniques. Read More

Instruments: Piano Trumpet Accordion French Horn Music Keyboard

As a multi-instrumentalist, I've loved teaching piano, accordion, and brass instruments to all ages and levels the past +20 years. I've lived, taught, and performed around the world: after earning my bachelor of music in piano performance degree alongside my bachelor of music in horn performance degree in Kansas, I went to the New England Conservatory in Boston for my master's in horn.

Wesley P

Instruments: Piano Saxophone Flute Clarinet

I began teaching as a student at OSU, then started teaching shortly after moving to California. I have been fortunate to have experience teaching students both individually and in group settings. My private students have been of all ages and different levels. One commonality I have found between students in these different settings is that they all have different goals and things that motivate them. With this in mind, I try to provide lessons that meet the individual needs of the student, while also keeping them engaged. Read More

Dominic V

Instruments: Piano Drums Synthesizer Latin Percussion Keyboard Djembe

When will I start to see results?
Results can be seen within a week of practice. Depending on what instrument we study together, you will be humming along to songs on the radio, tapping your hands and feet to the radio, or playing piano on park benches (assuming you're a beginner). If you're an intermediate student, you can expect to see signs of growth on your instrument within 1 - 2 lessons. If you keep with your practice routine, your chops (muscles) will grow, and you will start to build muscle memory. After a year or so, the muscle memory will be deeply encoded, and you'll likely never forget the songs you've been practicing. If we study for more than a year, the possibilities are endless! Generally I like to reassess goals yearly, and we'll set bigger roadblocks for personal achievement. Realize there is likely nothing you CAN'T do with enough practice and determination.

How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
A child is ready to start lessons at any age, especially if they show an inclination or attraction to musical instruments, percussive toys, etc. Anybody who comes from a family of musicians can start any time, and probably will naturally grow into a musician based on exposure. If you have NO musicians in your household, music will likely be a new exercise, but one which will be a lifelong investment in your child's brain performance. Musicians have been proven to score better in areas of math and foreign language, because similar areas of the brain are engaged when practicing music. Music is, in essence, a language of rhythm. If you're curious about your child starting music lessons, buy them a small drum, have them sit at the piano or keyboard, or start them on a recorder or other small instrument. If they enjoy it, they're ready for lessons!

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Practice requires consistency. It's been shown that 5 minutes of practice daily can be more effective than a 1 hour session, 3 days a week. Jerry Garcia used to wake up at 5am every morning to play scales, and the proof is in the pudding with this ability to play any style, any time, and perform fluidly for hours at a time. Practice should be a labor of love, and one that you're motivated to engage in. My assigned practice will be geared towards songs you enjoy, songs we've selected together to work on, and something that pushes the envelope of your stylistic comfort zone.
