“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!“

“Ricky is a great guy and really knows his stuff! If you want to improve at guitar while having fun, give him a call.“

“I can’t recommend him enough. From the very first lesson, he has been incredibly attentive and genuinely takes the time to understand you as both a person and an artist. Rather than just teaching technique, he intentionally gets to know your creative style, interests, and goals so he can help you choose songs and music that matter to you. That personalized approach has made learning so much more enjoyable.

He is patient, encouraging, and creates an environment where you feel comfortable growing and trying new things. Beyond being an exceptional guitar and voice teacher, he is simply a wonderful person. Some of the life advice he’s shared with me has honestly been some of the best I’ve ever received, and it’s had an impact far beyond music.

One of my favorite experiences was bringing my mom to a lesson so we could learn together. He made it such a fun, welcoming, and memorable experience for both of us. It was something we’ll always remember, and it really showed how gifted he is at connecting with people of all ages and experience levels.

He has a rare ability to inspire confidence while challenging you to become better, and it’s clear that he genuinely cares about his students’ success both inside and outside of lessons. If you’re looking for someone who is talented, thoughtful, and truly invested in helping you grow, I would recommend him to absolutely anyone. He’s been incredible in every way, and I’m so grateful to be learning from him!“

“I been shopping here for most of my life !!!
Stan is Awesome,they been saling DRUM since the 50's“

“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.“

“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.“

“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).“

“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.“

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

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.....“

“Lucine is an amazing instructor and extremely talented! She teaches my daughter to play Violin and I can see how much my daughter loves the classes. We are very happy with the school and all the knowledge and skills that my daughter is able to learn. Highly recommended!“

“I am posting this review without having been asked to, under only the inspiration of the rush I just got from the magic of Shoshana’s concepts clicking for me… I have only been training with her for ONE MONTH, and I’m already singing songs I could never sing before with ease. I’m reaching my high voices without straining my throat, I’m mixing between voices more effortlessly, I get a “natural vibrato” every now and then. It’s amazing. I can even do it while I have a flu and a sore throat… I regularly sing karaoke and people have definitely noticed the improvement!

Keep in mind, these are songs I simply couldn’t sing before, notes that I thought weren’t even there…

Her secret is that she doesn’t TELL you what to do, she CONNECTS what she knows from her world into yours. You can only do this if you truly understand what you’re teaching and if you have lots of experience teaching different kinds of people from a diverse population like LA.

All this has allowed me to focus on the right things, make them muscle memory, and enter a state of performance flow, one of, if not the greatest feelings in the world to me.

Thank you Shoshana, with all my heart ??“

“Ms. Marianna is an amazing music teacher and so kind. We love, love her! Student is now in college.

The first music teacher we checked out when he was around seven years old, kicked us out in less than 20 minutes of our trial lesson. She complained that he was too hyper for her.
A few days later, we met Ms. Marianna She connected with him right away, saying that he was adorable & brilliant.

She used a strength-based approach to nurture his talent, helping him to flourish yeah after year. She later dubbed him one of her most musically inclined students. She was absolutely. GOLDEN!“

“Cliff makes learning fun! He loves teaching guitar and it really shows in his dedication, patience and encouragement with his students.He is also an accomplished songwriter and performer which sets him apart from other teachers as he can teach the basics of songwriting to students who are interested.“

“they have really nice equipment , just amazing !! great people to work with , I highly recommend HSR!“

“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!“

“I've met her in Japan several years ago at one of her workshops. Not only as a superb jazz vocalist, but she also impressed and motivated me with her distinguished guiding and coaching about making music. I moved to LA and took her lessons and workshops countlessly. She is very tolerant and supportive to any student and leads them to the fearless marvelous moment of wonderful music with her deep knowledge and performing experiences. She is a great musician, teacher, and mentor I recommend to all class jazz singers.“
