Musical Instruments & Teachers near Sherman Oaks

“I highly recommend studying with Ted. Ted's musicianship is unparalleled (check out his Ellington CD!), and his teaching matches that. He takes things that are very complicated and turns them into something much more digestible. It's so worth it; I've improved so much. Thank you Ted!“

“Jonathan is FANTASTIC!!! I am self thought and his lessons have taken my knowledge of guitar and music to another level. He adapts the teaching to your level and my appreciation for music has grown so much. Every lesson has been pure joy! Thank you :) /Ida“

“Lloyd is a phenomenal piano teacher. I've truly learned so much through my lessons with him. Highly recommend.“

“Danny at Rose Coast Music School has been such a gift as a guitar teacher for our 7-year-old son. He is incredibly warm, patient, and engaging, and somehow manages to make every lesson feel both fun and meaningful. Our son genuinely looks forward to his time with Danny each week, which says everything.

We have also seen real progress in our son’s playing, which has been so rewarding and is a true testament to Danny’s approach. Danny really sees kids for who they are. He meets our son exactly where he is, keeps things light and encouraging, and builds confidence in such a natural way. You can truly tell how attentive and thoughtful Danny is.

We were first introduced to Danny through a very talented young teen who had studied with him for years and his whole family spoke about Danny with such genuine enthusiasm. That strong recommendation immediately stood out to us, and our experience has far exceeded our expectations. I truly could not recommend him more highly and we feel so lucky to have found Danny.“

“I been shopping here for most of my life !!!

“I've taken piano lessons with Jesse for a year, and I've absolutely loved them. I've gone from a very basic playing level to being able to perform my favorite songs. He is engaging, fun, and very kind to work with. Jesse adapted lessons to accommodate my background in music production. Being able to practice and learn songs that I actually enjoy was highly rewarding. If you're looking for a great teacher, definitely go with Jesse.“

“We love Mozart Music. My daughter has done both vocal and piano lessons and has made huge growth.“

“Fantastic experience. I had a great time learning as an adult student and would highly recommend to any adult students interested!“

“Exceptional customer service and top of the line quality equipment. The employees here are very knowledgeable about their equipment and they make it very easy for you to pick out what you need. Could recommend this place enough.“

“A literal hidden gem. Make sure to call before trying to pull up. Crazy array of vintage and analog synthesizers, pedals, amps, and more. Bought a Medieval sampler by Teenage Engineering here. Only place like this I’ve ever seen in the LA area.“

“I highly recommend Elemental Music to any child who wants to expand their musical opportunities. My older son has been in the Elemental guitar program since 4th grade. He is now in 8th grade and participates in the Chamber Music Institute. He originally started guitar in private solo lessons, and Elemental guitar gave him the chance to enjoy making music with other kids his age. I had no idea a program like this existed for guitar. He didn’t start as a classical guitarist, but he has learned so much by exploring a new genre of music. My younger son has also enjoyed playing in the Elemental guitar group and I hope one day he’ll be able to join his older brother in the Chamber Music Institute!“

“Dreaming Music Studio is absolutely wonderful. I took online vocal lessons with Ashley for a few months and my awareness of my singing skyrocketed. I always recommend them to any of my friends who mention they're considering taking vocal lessons, especially if they're looking to pursue idol work or want to study multiple branches of music (music theory, production, other instruments, etc).“

“Viola Music School provides an exceptional environment for children to learn music. The instructors are attentive, patient, and genuinely dedicated to each student’s growth. We’ve seen remarkable progress in our child’s ability to read music and play piano in a short time. We highly recommend Viola Music School to any young student seeking high-quality music education. Our family is especially grateful to Ms. Tatev and Ms. Vart for their outstanding teaching. Periodically, they perform in concerts and everyone gets to see their progress.“

“We’ve really enjoyed having our two kids learn piano with Devin. They are now learning guitar from Mr Poursaee who is very experienced and knowledgeable. Our kids love this place as the teachers are superb. The staff is friendly and it’s a warm and inviting atmosphere. Highly recommend!“

“We found “Mr. Paul” after trying a few other music schools and are so happy that we did! My daughter (10) thoroughly enjoys learning the piano with him—he’s patient, friendly, and his lessons are rigorous even though they are carried out in a no-stress lighthearted atmosphere. She’s learned so much about reading music, music theory, and following her “ear” to figure out what she hears. His music room where lessons are held is comfy and cozy and my younger daughter and I enjoy hanging out with his cat while we listen to my older daughter play. I’ve recommended him to numerous friends who have also loved his lessons—grownups included! He provides a highly positive experience that fosters a genuine curiosity and enjoyment of music.“

“Dave Plesh is without a doubt the most talented and inspirational teacher. His encouragement wisdom and mentorship will have you on the stage in no time. The best!“

“Amazing music school! Both my kids just started getting lessons from HAMA instructors via online and both learned so much within one class. Instructors are incredibly nice and patient. Everyone working at HAMA are also incredibly helpful, kind, and fast at responding emails. My children are very exited to continue learning from HAMA.“

“Nick is an amazing vocal teacher and coach! He’s so full of information and resources, and knows how to help you achieve your personal goals! + Kind, comfortable, and affordable. Highly recommend!“

“Jeff is a great guy and clearly an expert in his trade - did a quick soundpost and bridge repair for my violin right on the spot (for free, I might add!). Would have been happy to pay him for his work, and look forward to bringing my instruments to him again in the future.“

“Sam is top tier ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ if more stars were available I'd give them to him.“

“I've been a customer since 2019 and rarely write reviews, but I wanted to express my gratitude.

Whether purchasing violins or bows or having repairs done, I'm always impressed by the staff's kindness, professionalism, and expertise. They consistently provide excellent service and make every visit a positive experience.

Special thanks to Herald, Robert, and Jonathan for their outstanding service and dedication.

Thank you all for your hard work and commitment to musicians. Highly recommended!“

“My son has been studying piano at Piano4Everyone for eight years. Katya is simply the best at what she does. She somehow combines absolute mastery of her art with an unerring ability to support the needs of each student. She approaches her work with the highest level of professionalism, dedication, and joy. I have the privilege of watching Katya work with her students every week, and every week Katya reminds me of the power of music to transform lives and inspire young people to attain their creative potential.“

“RIP John Davies! Thank you for filling me with knowledge and technique. Thank you for your confidence in me. You shared your gift of Opera with the world. What a ride. May the music in heaven be as sweet as the sounds you gave us here on earth. Until we meet again.....“
