Music Lesson Program
Our school offers private instruction in piano, guitar, drums, violin, reed instruments, brass, flute, recorder and voice. We also offer private instruction in Music Theory and Digital Audio production. We teach all levels of music talent from beginner to professional. Some of the industry’s most successful musicians have studied, or are currently studying with our instructors. Currently we have about 35 teachers, some of whom have been with us for many years
Group classes are also available for all ages. Our group classes teach rhythm, phrasing, pitch matching and vocabulary concepts, as well as music fundamentals, in a fun, interactive way.
In addition, the Santa Monica and Culver City Music Centers also offer periodic workshops, clinics and discussions to help students obtain practical, working knowledge of music.
Group Class Observation
You are welcome to come and observe a class at any time. Just call ahead to ensure the class is scheduled. You can also schedule a "tryout" (if there is space available) for a $15 fee which can be applied to tuition for current classes. Please be sure to call first.
