Lloyd Moss Guitar, Piano & Voice lessons

Lloyd is a friendly, knowledgeable, and accommodating teacher. While I started out with him with the intention of brushing up my guitar playing, I switched to bass lessons after about six months. Within a few more months, I felt as though I had grown enough as a musician to be comfortable performing to live audiences with bands.

Lloyd takes a holistic approach when teaching students while also tailoring the material to the individual goals of each. When I learned a new scale, we spent as much time on theory as we did on shapes and intervals. He treats the "why" of a concept or technique the same as the "how". In my case, at least, I felt as though I knew more about music and could speak about it credibly with other musicians as a result. When I switched to bass, he was encouraging and as knowledgeable about bass playing techniques as he was about guitar solos and diminished chords.

It also bears mentioning that Lloyd is understanding of the fact that music lessons are a hobby or luxury and that other demands on one's time sometime take priority over a scheduled meeting. I have a dynamic work schedule and he has always been extremely accommodating in either rescheduling lessons or doing them remotely.

Finally, lessons with Lloyd are priced extremely reasonably for Los Angeles. This was the most important factor to me when I was looking for a teacher and was ready to treat Lloyd with skepticism ("is there a good reason he's so affordable?") but he has provided instruction as good or better than any other teacher I have had.

Lloyd is a great teacher. He listens and tailors lessons so you learn songs you like, but he also gives you the knowledge and guidance you need to be a good player. It makes learning fun and also inspires the desire to get better and learn more. He goes above and beyond to give you the resources you need, too, so you feel supported along the way. Highly recommend! More...
