Lessons are custom tailored for students needs. I believe the best learning to be experiential and inspired, if you’re inspired, you will practice! My goal is to inspire and encourage expression in the art form of playing piano, to bring out the student’s own natural musicality and self-expression. I want the student to really enjoy the learning experience! I use a combination of techniques in my lessons that coordinates the mind, hand, fingers, and spirit. I will cover sound foundation skills such as: Technique, Sight Reading, Rhythm Development, Theory, Exercises for Finger Development and Control, Improvisation, & Musicianship. Getting ...

Susan S. says, "I studied under Rogelio under a different school, prior to Academia Phonation Foundation. I signed up for voice lessons September 2019, in preparation for returning to a choir. I don’t play the piano and was concerned I’d struggle learning music on my own. I hesitated as the school seemed geared toward children but was assured, they also had adult students. The first evening I met with Rogelio I was immediately put at ease. He was eager to ensure I felt comfortable and got what I needed from our weekly lessons. We worked together weekly both focusing on my choir music trouble spots but also taking the time to find my solo voice. Unfortunately, we only had 5 months of in-person learning until COVID shutdown not only the school but my choir. I hesitated to continue voice lessons but decided to give virtual learning a try. That turned out to be a great decision and Rogelio was very patient with the process. He pushed me out of my comfort zone and had me work on solo pieces I would never have dreamed of otherwise. I spent the summer learning “Oh Thou That Tellest Good Tidings” and “But Who May Abide the Day of His Coming” from Handel’s Messiah. I am selfishly sad to know I will not be working with him much longer, but I’m excited for him to have new opportunities. It has been a blessing to work with him and I’m a better musician for it.

Reviews for Santa Monica music performance lessons

Recent success stories from people in the Santa Monica area.
Brandon G.
Noel is an amazing player and teacher, together we have worked on proper technique, ear training, music theory, composition, and various practice methods. Since meeting him I have become a much better guitar player, and overall musician. My favorite part about working with him is his ability to learn any song by ear within minutes, which we can then dissect together. He is truly the full package, and I strongly recommend him to any student, beginner, or professional looking to improve. Very grateful to have met him, and am looking forward to taking lessons for the foreseeable future!

I decided to take piano lessons in my senior citizen years after not having played since I was a child. Deborah's patience and encouragement during weekly lessons have given me great confidence. She guides me through each piece carefully focusing on techniques to help me improve. I also think her selection of music books and practice exercises are appropriate for my abilty. And , she gently challenges me with more difficult pieces as I become more comfortable and capable. I would highly recommend Deborah to anyone regardless of age who wants to learn how to play the piano .

Nicolette was such a great instructor! She was always very knowledgeable and patient with me. I learned so much from her. The lessons were started off with warm-ups/breathing exercises. Then we would work on a song that we chose together. I would sing as she made notes on what I did and didn't do well and then we'd go over those notes. The lessons were always VERY constructive and she would always leave me with exercises to help me improve between our weekly lessons. 10/10
