Brittany is so lovely. She’s positive, upbeat, and it’s clear that she loves what she does. I’m a bit shy and I have anxiety, and that’s why I wanted to take voice lessons. She made me feel at ease right away. I will continue lessons with Brittany indefinitely.

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.
Dr. Takenouchi is a great classical piano teacher for my daughter. He is very friendly and has a great sense of knowledge on how to improve her skills both technically and emotionally. He always guides her whenever she needs help.
My daughter enjoys every lesson very much! Since she has been taught by Dr. Takenouchi she won in an international piano competition in NY.
We are lucky to have found a wonderful piano teacher like him.

I have been taking piano lessons with Anahit for 2,5 years. I was recommended by an acquaintance, whose technique I admired and I also saw the improvement immediately after she started taking classes with Anahit. I am so glad I made the decision to commit full time and let Anahit work her magic. She has certainly taken me to new levels of knowledge, skill and technique. If anyone is serious about playing the piano, especially as a career, look no further. Aside being a master of her craft, she is kind, professional and polite. I highly recommend her!
