What Encino Students Say
"We signed up both our kids — one for piano and one for drums. Both musicians are fantastic and the no-contract flexibility gives us peace of mind. Highly recommend!"
Mark H. · Piano "Elena is a wonderful violin musician. Her classical training and patient approach helped my daughter prepare for her youth orchestra audition — she got in! We couldn't be happier."
Jennifer L. · with Elena V. · Violin "Great experience overall. The booking process was smooth and my piano musician is very knowledgeable. Only wish they had locations on the east side too!"
Amanda W. · with Sarah C. · Piano "Marcus is the real deal. Having a musician who's actually worked in the industry makes such a difference. My guitar playing has improved more in 3 months than in 2 years of self-teaching."
Ryan K. · with Marcus R. · Guitar "David is an amazing drum instructor. He breaks down complex patterns into manageable pieces and always keeps lessons fun. My 12-year-old son looks forward to every session."
Tom S. · with David P. · Drums "The online lessons work surprisingly well. I take guitar lessons with Marcus from my home office and the quality is great. Flexible scheduling is a huge plus."
