Musical Instruments And Teachers in Santa Monica

“The Black Tree School is Chris Murphy and there is no better way to become the musician you want to be than through his training. I met Chris through a friend well into my 3rd year of banjo lessons elsewhere and still hadn't been taught the core basics of music and music theory that I knew I needed to know to play well, understand how music is structured and play in a group with others (all my goal!). Into my life walks Chris and everything changed. He and his Black Tree School are the very best blend of classical music training infused with a Zen approach of life's relationship to music. Chris is both demanding and supportive, existential and traditional in every positive way possible and I have found myself challenged, inspired and spent after each lesson. If you have the will to double down and get serious, The Black Tree School is the right place to go. You'll walk away a more serious musician and likely a wiser person overall.“

“Ann has been teaching my nephew violin and she is a wonderful and patient teacher. My nephew enjoys his lessons and is coming along well. I hight recommend Ann!“

“In five half-days of rock band camp, the girls learned to play three songs as a group, rotating instruments, and wrote their own song. Amazing. Sound Roads has exceeded my expectations. Great studio, fantastic teacher who really take the time to learn the skills and interests of the students, but still drive them to perform at their very best level.“
