    I recently enrolled my daughter in music lessons at Fantasia and we couldnt be happier with the experience. The teacher is a highly skilled and experienced professional. They offer in-person and online lessons which is great for us because sometimes we cant make it in person.
    Overall I would strongly recommend this studio to anyone looking for high-quality music lessons for their child. And I think they alsoteach adult students.

    Therere many music teachers and schools around but trust me - you want your child to be in Ivans class. My daughter has been taking piano lessons with him since 2016 and to say that she tremendously improved her piano skills is one thing. Theres so much more.
    My husband and I dont know much about music, but we always thought its important for a childs development to play an instrument so we found her a piano teacher when she was 6. Unfortunately, she soon lost interest and would even say that she hated it. She stopped for a year and then our friends recommended Ivans lessons. It was a turning point! She grew to love music - from hating to not-liking, to liking, to loving! Ivan seems to be diverse and approaches his students depending on their character. Hes not just a great music teacher - hes like a psychologist too!
    I know Im being wordy here but he deserves much more. If youre his student/a parent of his student, you know why you are in his class. Dont be shy, spread the word! Teachers like Ivan should be known.

    Frequently asked questions

    We start with a free trial lesson where a student can experience how our classes work and the ways we teach. Even with beginners, we start playing in the first lesson; something simple, but still. Music is a language and to learn it faster you need to start "speaking" it as soon as you can.

    There's always time for a conversation as well: we want to find out about the student's (or their parents') goal, music interests, and expectations.

    Our teachers are professionals with degrees in music and pedagogy from American and European schools. They are also trained and experienced in teaching online.

    It all started in 2004 with a single piano teacher - Ivan Shapovalov. Ivan's friends asked him to give piano lessons to their 4-year-old son. It was his first step in teaching, and it has helped him realize that he loves teaching piano lessons, maybe even more than playing the piano.

    Within the next ten years, Ivan polished his professional skills as a teacher by researching and testing different piano programs in his piano studio. With his students, he tried teaching methods known in Europe, Asia, and America.

    In 2016 Ivan Shapovalov Piano Studio was opened in Bellflower, California. In 5 years, it grew into Fantasi School of Music (Pico Rivera, California), where students of different levels and ages take educational and fun music lessons and participate in events.

    When searching for a music teacher, it's important for students to have a clear understanding of their needs and goals. Here are some questions that students can ask themselves before talking to music teachers:

    What is my skill level? - It's essential to assess your current level of proficiency in your instrument or voice. This can help you determine what kind of teacher and lessons would suit you best.

    What are my musical goals? - It's important to clearly understand what you want to achieve with music lessons. Do you want to learn a specific genre or style of music, or do you want to focus on improving your overall technique?

    What is my learning style? - Do you prefer a structured approach or a more flexible one? Do you learn better with visual aids or hands-on instruction? Understanding your learning style can help you find a teacher to cater to your needs.

    What is my availability? - Be realistic about how much time you can commit to practicing and attending lessons. This can help you find a teacher who can work with your schedule.

    What is my budget? - Music lessons can be expensive, so setting a budget for yourself is important. This can help you narrow down your options and find a teacher who fits your financial needs.

    By answering these questions before talking to music teachers, students can better communicate their needs and goals and find a teacher to help them achieve their musical aspirations.
