Took my guitar in for a set-up and to add some modifications. Doug did an incredible job and had it completed within a quick turn-around. Beyond pleased with the finished result.

Got a sweet ukulele at Boulevard Music in Culver City.

A lovely neighborhood music store that has a great selection of guitars. They also give piano and guitar music lessons. (Maybe violin too?) The staff is knowledgeable, friendly, and super down to earth. They have a parking lot on the side and there's usually street parking too. I'm lucky enough to live in Culver City so I just walk over.

See all

Not a big deal, except suddenly, despite hew flaws I didn't want to risk having my guitar swapped for a new one.

I'm a novice singer and have been taking lessons with Juliana for a few months. Already, I've…read morenoticed a huge improvement in my sound, tone, and--most importantly--my confidence. Juliana is a genius at making suggestions that help you visualize how small physical or mental changes can create a much better sound--for example, I've learned to notice when I allow my rib cage to collapse. As a beginner, I've often felt unsure about what's happening in my body when I sing, but Juliana's examples have made difficult things feel clear and achievable. The recordings of our lessons have been a game-changer for me. Re-listening to them not only helps me see how much I've improved, but also lets me revisit her advice and keep working on it between lessons. It's like having unlimited lessons because so much of learning to sing is about making time to practice. Juliana's studio is a warm and peaceful space where I feel completely safe to experiment and be loud without embarrassment. It's clear that she remembers her own learning journey very well and can really empathize with her students. I couldn't be happier with Juliana as my teacher.

I've retired and had never sung out loud! So the idea of singing lessons was very scary but it was…read morean inhibition that I really wanted to overcome. I did a lot of research on LA based teachers and Juliana's commitment to voice discovery for anyone got me through the door. I have never looked back. Juliana's teaching style is warm and constantly encouraging, giving you building blocks from physical preparation and relaxation through the many vocal techniques to enhance your sound. Her attention to detail is exemplary and she is an expert who always makes you feel you are in safe hands. She also goes above and beyond to ensure you have materials and videos to help you practice. My confidence has grown with every session and I continue to improve. For me, it is also a pleasure for my first audience to be her adorable cats and dogs who wander into our sessions. They are of course optional if you had concerns. I don't hesitate to recommend Juliana to anyone. Whatever your level, you will improve under her guidance. Simon

I brought first my Alvarez acoustic to Doug for a setup. He inspected it and told me that it needed…read morea neck reset which he also said that the guitar is still new to do a reset and that he doesn't want the warranty to be voided. He then helped me checked with Alvarez whether it is still under the warranty and how can I send the guitar back to them to fix it for me. I ended up sending the guitar to Alvarez to have it fix. Doug didn't charge me anything but he helped me save money. I love how honest Doug is and not try to take advantage of the situation. I then brought an Ibanez 7 string for pickup change, fret crowning and nut replacement. He did an amazing work and made my mid range guitar plays like an expensive guitar. I just adjusted the action to my preference. I enjoy playing it now more than before. Doug is a great man. His honesty alone is top tier, so is his craftmanship. I will definitely come back to his shop in the future if I need professional and top tier guitar service.

I am very thankful to have trusted Doug with this job. He also fashioned a new bone nut, replacing the stock composite one. The guitar sustains beautifully and the new frets are a vast improvement. Job took about four weeks and communication was great. Highest recommendation.

Meter parking is available in front of the store, the door is locked so you need to ring for entry. You will then be greeted by some of the most passionate music lovers you will ever meet... and these guys know their stuff! I would classify this place as "boutique" or "high end" but that wouldn't do justice to the fact that they have really got some tremendous deals here, while they for sure will be able to satisfy those looking for a high-end instrument, they also have some great deals on quality guitars. It is great that they cover so many bases with their inventory. And pedals? Fuggetaboudit. I have never seen so many pedals in one place! An outstanding collection full of big manufacturers like Boss and JHS, but also a lot of boutique offerings as well, like Beetronics and Way Huge. And they aren't all wired together like other stores, if you want to try just one pedal, they let you do that! No figuring out someone else's signal chain. Individual practice rooms (with doors) so no one has to suffer through your rendition of "Enter Sandman"... this place is a guitar player's dream come true! Highly recommended!

She breaks things down cleanly, step by step, and explains the why, not just the formula you're supposed to memorize and forget after the exam. She's patient, sharp, and genuinely cares that you actually understand the material. If I was confused, she'd find another angle, another example, another way until it clicked. And when it clicked, it really clicked. Beyond just helping me pass, Alex helped me build confidence in a class I was honestly dreading. If you're struggling with Business Calculus or just want to actually understand it instead of trying to get by Alex is the tutor you want. Absolute game-changer.

I found Alex through a referral. He changed the trajectory of his semester so much with her help that he was confident that he didn't need her help in semester 2. Nope! After another slow start Alex got him back on track and ultimately he got the grade he needed. As a recruited athlete, this class was the last thing between him and an Ivy League school. In his final prep for the AP exam, he is scoring 5s consistently. She is timely, communicates well, and flexible. Everything via zoom, which worked perfectly. I can't recommend her enough.
