He is very concerned about making sure your creative vision comes to life in the best way possible. He has incredibly insightful advice but never tries to insert his ego into your project. He genuinely cares about his clients and wants to see them succeed.

Nani Agbeli is one of the the most gifted performer/teacher/scholar of a variety of music and dance styles from Ghana that I have ever seen. He follows the legacy of his father, Godwin along with his brothers at the Dagbe Center. Nani has worked with my studio and ensemble at Lawrence University Conservatory of Music for nearly 20 years. He inspires all who have worked with him. I highly recommend Nani and Volta Drum Dance to everyone!

There are dozens of talented musicians in LA. But not all of them are talented teachers. Ozzy is both. So when you get lessons from him you're not just getting someone who knows music really well you're getting someone who knows how to teach YOU music really well. Not only that, he's talented on multiple instruments so you could basically hire this guy to train you're entire band if you wanted to.

Mr. Gil is a great teacher who can make it easier to understand different concepts of music and well as music theory in general. He allows students to express themselves in songs of their choices when they’re ready and motivates them to improve.
