Review #856 2025-028…read more This is an old review drafted just before COVID-19 lockdown & forgot to finish my thoughts. My daughter, going through her Jack of all trades & master of none at the time, was thinking of trying an instrument: violin or piano. We didn't have the space for a piano but could do a keyboard, & was debating over the violin. I did a search & found Bravo! Music School; the school had a roster of 15 teachers with a wide variety of instruments, including guzheng (古筝), a Chinese plucked zither. I spoke with Melissa, the receptionist & owner's daughter, who suggested my almost 4 YO might be interested in their weekly Saturday Pre-K music class (can't remember the exact name), teaching music fundamentals & games with parent participation. I think it either 5 or 6 weeks? Parents & children play instruments, games, dance, etc. I also purchased an intro lesson & waited until H was ready for the intro; the instrument wasn't specified as long as we made a reservation & the teacher was available. M had a good ol' time in class with toddlers more or less his age. His musicality was a tad off, but he loved the music that he was making. One time when we were waiting for class to start, Teacher Michael was showing my LO alternative ways to drum (table, box, magazines) & he made beats happen... M was nodding & shaking along. It was soooooo cute! Then COVID-19 happened, followed by a lockdown. M missed out on possible drumming lessons & grew out of this interest by the time we felt comfortable going out. We never tried that violin intro & when H started middle school, she signed up for band (playing the flute) & I had forgotten about the paid intro lesson. Fast forward 4 years later, I was going through my drafts & saw BMS bookmarked & rough drafted that I contacted the school & asked to redeem lesson. Melissa no longer works at the school, & Jihi (assuming she's the current receptionist) couldn't find my 2019 deposit receipt. It took a couple of back & forth calls/texts before it was located & added back to their system because we're not active/regulars. We booked a 30-min. flute lesson with Teacher Colleen on 11/20/23; at this time, H was in 8th grade & has been a flutist for 2+ years. It no longer sounds like noise, but music, though the transitions are noticeable & not fluid. I'm hoping with some pointers, she can improve her skills & discover her passion for playing. She does enjoy the concerts & occasional competitions with the perk of playing/marching at an amusement park, then staying the day for play. Teacher Colleen was warm & welcoming, allowing me to sit-in on the lesson. The private room was tight & being in that proximity to their flutes was a bit much for my ears, but I get a personal view of the music school's lesson, techniques, & teacher's personality. Colleen is skilled in directing & instructing H, working on her tempo & musicality, as well as providing immediate feedback for her to improve on the next measure. I would have loved for H to continue with private lessons (reasonable rates: $356.96/8 lessons: $46/lesson - 3% discount) but she wasn't committed to learning/improving her skills; I later found out she was only interested in band for their extracurricular activities. Bravo! Music School teaches piano, violin, guitar/ukulele, vocals, drumset, guzheng, & band instruments. Through The Strings Connection, on-site rental & sale of violin family instruments are offered; the rental program is ideal for younger students that might not be ready for a commitment or trading up to larger sized instruments. Contact Cordi/The Strings Connection at 310-377-0803 for more info. Lessons are offered onsite or online at an introductory rate for the 1st lesson, & the same options are available for private lessons that are independently created by each teacher for every student. General Policy & Payment/Scheduling: When signing policy, you're also granting any video, audio, or photos taken by The School may be used in their marketing efforts. $50 cash/credit card deposit per family to guarantee lesson appointment times; deposit is refunded at the final lesson. Teacher Substitution: The School will either provide a substitute or reschedule the lesson. If you're looking to introduce music & specialized lessons for your child, I recommend Bravo! Music School to provide the musical education that you're seeking.

Learning the piano is something I have wanted to do my whole life. However, as an adult learner, I…read morehad a lot of apprehension about beginning piano lessons (I wouldn't be able to learn, that I would be too slow, etc). However, upon meeting with Yumemi and finding out about the studio (her experience, credentials, etc), I decided to take the leap and try it. I'm so happy I did! She is a wonderful teacher and is able to customize a learning plan so you really feel like you're making progress. I walk away from each lesson feeling super productive and excited about what I have learned. I highly recommend her! It's so fun to start playing a lot of the pieces that I have loved listening to my whole life. Also, I feel like I would be remiss if I didn't address her problem-solving skills. This has been most invaluable to me. Learning the piano is not for the weak of heart, but her patience, kindness and best of all, her ability to understand the way you think and best how to troubleshoot your difficulties is HUGE. I am never frustrated for long and I think that is why I have been able to be so successful! I'd give 10 stars if I could! ;)

Very patient and always had a planned lesson for me when I would show up. 30 minute lessons fly-by so we later moved to an hour. I progressed so much in just a couple months and I plan on going back soon. I'm an intermediate player but I also saw many beginners and children at this school. We mainly covered blues and jazz, per my request, and also educated me on music theory. I didn't take a lesson with Mark but he seemed like a cool guy to talk to about music and was impressed with his shredding skills too. Plenty of parking the rear also and the Rhythm and Notes guitar shop is cool to visit and geek out about gear with Beatle Bob.
