My daughter has been taking piano lessons with Kye for several months now. She has learned so much in that time and really looks forward to her lessons. He is patient and makes learning fun. She is developing a love for piano and plays on her own in her free time as a result. Communication has been easy and the school has been responsive and flexible when needed. I definitely recommend this school for anyone who wants to learn and grow a love for music. More...

Lainey is an amazing violin teacher that was able to connect with my then 10 year old daughter right away despite being online. She has a calm, yet fun energy and offers endless encouragement while specifying areas of improvement. Nearly 3 years later, my daughter is more confident and relaxed in her playing. My daughter is a deep thinker and enjoys that Lainey explains and demonstrates how to perform tricky pieces for posturing and sound. She is very professional and punctual as well. I highly recommend her! More...

Hi! I love working with Rick and Laura. Laura is multitalented and is able to teach me guitar, singing, and piano. She’s also not like the other teachers I’ve had. She’s very attentive to my particular way of learning and help learn how to sing that way vs the traditional methods that never helped me. My voice has gotten so much better and I was even able to sing more in other areas of my life in front of other people. I really look forward to my continued lessons with her. More...

Alessandro is an amazing guitar teacher. My kid started taking guitar lessons about 5 moths ago, they were a bit nervous at the beginning because it was their first time taking guitar lessons. But Alessandro made my kid feel very confident about learning to play a new instrument and 5 months later I can say this was our best decision ever. Totally recommend this place!

I’m taking saxophone lessons from Rick. He has developed his own systems to teach useful saxophone performance skills. If you’re a beginner, Rick will teach you the most convenient way to kick start so you don’t have to wait 10 years to start improvising. With his system you’re pretty much improvising in 5 lessons. If you’re already playing sax several years and want to improve your level, he will find your weaknesses and fix those points quickly. If you feel like you’re learning II-V-I licks forever and never become a confident performer, I recommend taking his lessons. After I took his zoom lessons for a year and now I’m playing with several bands and getting paid. Knowing how and what to practice really counts, and Rick can help you!! More...

Until I found rick rossi, improvising on jazz tunes was always a mystery to me. Rick, who is an elite teacher and coach of improvisation for woodwind players, is teaching me his system for how to improvise that works like magic. He teaches you how to hear target notes and uses rhythm and articulation studies to help you learn how to play by ear and how to be more focused when practicing. As a result, the mystery veil of improvisation is being removed from my eyes and I'm developing the skills to become very good at improvising on tunes. so if you are like i was and a veil is covering your eyes hindering you from learning to improvise on tunes. Call rick and he will remove that veil by teaching you his system of using approach notes and the basics of phrasing so that everything you play is musical. This approach really opens up your ears and will have you playing what you're hearing in your soul and when you are listening to recordings, you can really hear the chords and rhythms very clearly. It is an amazing system to learn to improvise in any style of music!!!! More...

I was initially unsure whether online music lessons were going to be effective, but I was really impressed with how Gvantsa made it all work! She was always very organized and she figured out right away the specific skills my son needed to practice and emailed us the necessary music sheets for him to practice, as well as links to videos and apps that were also very helpful. She also found music sheets for songs that my son was familiar with and enjoyed playing. In addition, if we ever had any questions, she responded by email so that we did not have to wait a whole week to figure something out. Gvantsa was also very patient with my son, providing feedback when necessary and praise when appropriate.

I've always loved the violin. I went to my niece's music recital, and their school had an older gentleman who had been taking voice lessons and was brave enough to perform solo alongside the young students. The next day I Googled "music lessons in Los Angeles" and had a call out to Rick by the end of the business day. Rick immediately set me up with both a teacher (Xochitl) and a store for beginner violin rentals. I've been taking lessons from Xochitl for about 5 months now. Of course, it had to happen amidst the public health crisis, so I've had to switch to online classes. I wasn't sure this would be an effective way to learn violin, but honestly not much has changed. Xochitl is as fun as professional as ever, and I still feel my (limited) abilities growing despite not being face to face. I'm very grateful that I can continue my musical journey with Xochitl despite the quarantine. I am 32 with a highly stressful job, and I do not always have time to put in the practice that I should. However, Xochitl always finds something to praise, and never loses her patience with me. It is more appreciated than she probably knows - my piano teacher used to screech at me when I was young.Given that the violin is probably one of the most difficult instruments to play, I think it speaks volumes that in 5 months Xochitl has made it so engaging and accessible (particularly for an adult student like myself), that I went ahead and purchased one! I am looking forward to improving and highly recommend Rick and his team for anyone with even a shadow of a wish to play music. More...

I live in Boston, I have been an online student of Rick's for over a year now with incredible results. I found Rick online giving a few free lessons when I was searching for a teacher. I watched a bunch of other online teachers and I liked Rick's approach best. He also had many videos of his other successful students which showed how fast they were all learning his method. There isn't another teacher that I found who actually showed their students progress. After 5 months I went from a complete beginner to being able to improvise at a pretty amazing level and now I am improvising with all different rhythms and articulations that I never imagined I could do in such a short time. If you've been thinking about taking lessons online, Rick and his other teachers from LA are amazing and will help you. I highly recommend online lessons. It's got great convenience, I love it and most importantly, IT WORKS!! I can't say enough good things about the lessons I've gotten.

So not only was I nervous about playing again, let alone at my wedding, but I also had to some how become the greatest liar of all time, to be able to sneak away twice a week to my lessons!Tall order right?? Not for Rick! After the first few sessions, not only did I start to gain confidence that I would be able to pull this miracle off, I truly believed that I would knock it out of the park! I had played the saxophone before when I was a kid, but hadn’t picked one up in 20 years. I gave myself & Rick 9 months to get this done and I was ready for the big day by month 7!

Throughout my 9 months with Rick, he was extremely accommodating with my ever changing schedule, more than fair with his rates and beyond patient with me.
