There is nothing more important then to let the student work, learn, and express their true relationship with music, this academy is like therapy, when my daughter was there, local. She was 9, then onto band @ 13, full key length piano, then to Xylo and now writing. Forcing no, nuturing yes!!! Make the call, stop by.

We started lessons in early September and already my kids have progressed so much. I love that we get to do outreach performances and recitals every semester.

When moving to LA area and looking for a music teacher who could teach violin and fiddle, a…read moreprofessional musician friend referred me to Emily. We hit the jackpot! She's a fantastic instructor, to our 11 year old who continues to advance in skill and musical enjoyment under Emily's tutelage. Emily teaches to insure strong basics, on all fronts, while making it fun along the way. She's positive and encouraging, yet pushes kids along. She's able to understand needs of various kids, and meet them where they are to insure they progress. Her music skills are outstanding, and her studio performances and community outreach (she designs for kids to participate) also teaches the kids the joy of sharing music and giving back. We can't recommend her enough!

That story was given to me 3 more times for 9 months. He was always working on guitars when I would drop in to check progress on mine. Even told me a story about a guitar he just got in and was working on that had to get fixed for a client asap which at that point he had my guitar for 9 months. When I said WTF? he promised me he would start on mine tomorrow! My guitar never got fixed. The concerning thing is our parting conversation. He was super nice and apologetic but didn't understand how telling me 4 times it would get done and not doing it after 9 months wasn't ok.
