Burt Griswold Pianist

I tailor lessons to meet the needs of the student. Beginners learn their way around the piano and to read music. Students receive helpful music on how music works and how to make playing the piano feel and sound musical, plus pick up on music theory, learn improvisation and even try their hand at composition along the way.
Playing a musical instrument improves congnitive ability (attention) and the brain's performance. Music makes us whole. Being a complete musician means taking full advantage of music's ability to benefit us neurologically as well as physically and emotionally.

Ivan Dantas - Violinist And Composer

--- At this moment I'm not taking new students in Los Angeles, I'm only accepting Skype students due to a job position in Brazil that forces me to travel often. Music theory and violin lessons work great on skype and it cost less, since the teacher does not have to travel to your house.---
--They are not good only for someone who is completely new to the violin, since in the very beginning it is fundamental to be able to correct posture. If that's your case I can recomend a good violin teacher in the Los Angeles area. ---

Sing what you play and play from the heart. As a Guitar Performance graduate from Musicians Institute, I was fortunate enough to have been taught these ideas from guitarists I considered to be my idols; Jake Eckert (Dirty Dozen Brass Band), Rick Zunigar (Stevie Wonder) and the late Ross Bolton (Al Jarreau). My approach is to provide that unique experience to my students and inspire them to achieve their goals. Through my 15+ years of experience as a session guitarist and instructor, I have had the opportunity to perform and record with some of the top musicians in Los Angeles, while teaching students of various ages and skil

Leon Thomasian Piano Lessons
1 Review
During the last ten years of teaching, I have encountered many different types of students at a wide range of ages (4 to 65+ years old). Throughout my teaching experience, I have learned to adapt to my students before I make them adapt to me. That way, the students felt more comfortable and were more encouraged to learn and succeed.
At this point in my life, teaching became something natural rather than a planned process. Nevertheless, I plan my lessons according to the students’ needs. Even though I started learning music at an early age, I believe that it is never too late to learn since music is one of the most beautiful languages a
