Musical Instruments And 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!“

“I've been taking vocal lessons with Lloyd for a few months now and every lesson is a pleasure. Lessons are customized to YOUR goals and Lloyd is supportive in providing both structured and fun ways of reaching them! He has an incredible “ear” and never fails to make his students feel comfortable and welcomed in his home. He’s the definition of a warm, patient, and truly caring teacher. 100% recommend!“

“Working with Kira has been the best thing I could have done for my voice. She is so knowledgeable in the technical aspects of the voice and has helped me overcome an issue I've struggled with my entire life as a singer. I have brought this issue to multiple other teachers and no one was able to help me before Kira. She has changed my voice and I am forever grateful!“

“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.....“

“I am an adult student that has been taking lessons from Ann for about four years. Full disclosure, I played through elementary junior high and high school and then stopped for 40 years. Ann has an amazing knowledge of classical music, is an accomplished musician, and has been teaching for many years. She is very passionate and dedicates herself seriously to her students. Her method of teaching is very understandable, and often shares golden nuggets of wisdom from her experience as a violinist .Under Ann's tutelage, I have far exceeded my skills in high school, I play in two community orchestras and a chamber group. Thank you Ann ,you are the best!“

“I first went to Performance Guitar when I was a teenager back in the early 1980s. They were on Yucca Street in Hollywood at the time. Even back then, Kenny already had big name clients like Frank Zappa, Steve Vai, and Warren De Martini. Later, he would do custom work for Joe Walsh and Warren Cuccurullo, among many others. In 2021, I brought in my Fender American Deluxe Stratocaster for a setup and fret dress and my Fender American Fretless Jazz Bass for its first setup. Kenny did a great job with both guitars. His attention to detail is unmatched. There is nobody else who works on Fenders like Kenny. He worked alongside Leo Fender at Fender for many years back in the day, so he knows his stuff. Kenny's own line of hand-made custom guitars are highly regarded. Highly recommended.“

“Rico International (D'Addario Woodwinds) produces the best quality reeds and mouthpieces in this state of the art facility.“

“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.“

“Larissa is absolutely wonderful. She's always friendly and patient. I've been taking my daughter to her for 4 years. My daughter has really progressed on the piano.“

“My daughters have been coming to this music school for a couple months now and we absolutely love it here because my daughters are learning how to play the piano. They teach my girls all the notes and timing and all the basic and from there they play any notes we or they give them. They only been attending there several months and they've learn alot. I highly recommended taking your children here. The pricing is not as expensive as other schools my daughters have tried to attended.“

“Ms. Cherie Valaray is an extraordinary teacher. The wealth of information I have learned from her is invaluable. Before taking vocal lessons with her, I had no idea what the resonance mask was, open throat technique, or singing with my diaphragm. Now, I can sing with less strain and have a louder, steadier sound. Her creative analogies really help me understand what I need to do in order to improve my singing. 10/10 would recommend her as a vocal coach. She has so much experience and knows what she is talking about. Not to mention that she is also caring and encouraging as well.“

“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.“

“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.“
