Louisa has been incredible with my three children. They love piano and are quickly picking up new skills. It has been so special to hear how patient she is, passionate about piano and accommodating based on the age of the child.

My whole family loves Tiffany Music Academy! My son and I both take piano lessons there. In particular, we are having a great experience with Steven and Harrison. Both are very talented and are excellent instructors. They put forth much effort to tailoring each lesson to each student striking a perfect balance between challenging and fun. We recommend this music academy to everyone we know.

Love this place and working with Carleen. I took piano lessons all growing up, but it had been some time. I’ve really enjoyed getting back to it, and really like the very clear curriculum and organization of the learning process here. It’s also really great to have such a knowledgeable teacher who can answer any question that comes up. Highly recommend!

I started taking guitar class with Harry a few months ago and love it! He is great at being receptive to what you want from the lesson, whether its scales, theory, practicing a song, or even writing your own! He brings a very creative flair rooted in DEEP knowledge of music. I was worried that most classes would be for kids, but Harry does a great job adjusting the lesson based on my skillset. Also I am able to attend after work which is very convenient! Would recommend for sure.

REVIEW - I first saw a new music studio pop up on Robertson down the street from our house. I liked the idea of supporting small arts businesses that land in our neighborhood. The more research I did on Tiffany and her business compared to other piano teachers, the more I was intrigued.Tiff is super organized, professional, a great communicator, very fair on lesson schedules and shes a great teacher too. She also has a really strong staff that are so good with the kids. Weve had to switch teachers a few times based on our schedule and other circumstances, but it hasnt hindered my sons progress. He is 9 years old and really loving Carleen. He learns basics, note reading and also gets to choose his own song to practice on top of what they dictate.They have a fun reward system that the kids enjoy as well. Im looking forward to the recitals. They play at a piano store on Robertson that apparently has a small concert hall in the back with a gorgeous piano.I would recommend Tiffany and her crew to anyone. As far as rates, she is highly competitive to what I found around the area

I am working in Santa Monica area as a young professional, and have been learning piano at Tiffany Piano Studio for 9 months now. The teacher is truly inspiring, I mean, he sincerely likes teaching piano. He even sings and plays guitar for some portion of sheet music. This makes the lesson not only a learning process, but a happy time as well. My teacher decides what to learn based on my skill level, my understanding level, and my preferred song, which is very good to really ignite students interest and potential. I would say, among all factors, teacher is the most important one.

As a teenager having a bit of music background, I came into group lessons wishing to better technical and overall skill on piano and guitar. Harrison has been an absolutely amazing teacher. He has so much patience and is always supportive of all his students.

All the staff there are amazing. Knowing that my child has special needs. They provide her with much needed support. I really appreciate it. Carleen is her piano and voice lesson teacher. She is awesome and my daughter loves her. I don’t know exactly her technique of teaching but my kid learns her lessons pretty quickly and easily. Thank you, Carleen and the rest of the staff! Keep it up! ❤️

My 7 year old daughter London has been attending Tiffanys Piano Studio since this past June. Prior to starting, she had never even touched a piano. From the first lesson, London was in love. Marga is her instructor and is absolutely amazing. Shes patient, kind and encouraging. London is flourishing! I cant wait to see whats to come!

Well there are less words to express how happy we are to see our little one play piano swiftly. Tiffany is not only great with her piano skills but also at her teaching skills. She is very very patient and encouraging and knows the best how to train small kids. The technique she uses like Award Money etc rewards the kids to a whole new level. Moreover the Music recitals are just a top notch opportunity for kids to excel. Also her class is located in a nice office setup with the pianos etc setup properly.I cant thank her enough for all the happiness she has given my daughter through teaching her music. THANK YOU TIFFANY !!I will give 10 stars out of 5 !! .

Ive been taking lessons at Tiffanys Piano Studio for a little over a month now, and Ive been very happy with my experience thus far! I tried out a few other studios before finding Tiffanys, and they were not the best fit for me! My teacher, Carleen, is extremely patient and thorough! As a young adult taking lessons again it can be a little intimidating! But my teacher is extremely informative and gives me the confidence I need to jump back into lessons! So happy with this studio! I highly recommend to anyone!

Miss Nicole has been teaching our daughter for about 2 years now. She really seems excited for her lessons each week and always wants to tell her teacher about new music she wants to learn. I really love the fact that Nicole teaches both classical music as well as pop song (like Frozen!) that my daughter listens to. When I was playing piano growing up, I never did that with my old teacher! Theres a recital coming up, and the events that Nicole and Tiff put on are always fun to go and watch...time to gather up the family and go listen to some holiday music :)

We came to Tiffany Piano Studio after visiting 3 other schools in the West LA area. I liked the size of Tiffany Studio and the attention the teachers are able to give the students as a result. Their approach is very supportive and keeps the lessons interesting. My kids have been taking lessons with Marga and they love her. She has been able to find their individual strengths and interests and adjusts the lessons in a way that keeps them happily practicing during the week.

I have been studying with Carleen Williams at this studio, and I cannot speak highly enough of Carleen. I am an adult learner. I dont read music. I have very little experience with the piano. Carleen zoned in on my strengths immediately, and teaches in a style that makes sense to someone who is just beginning to learn about music. She has a great eye for detail, and makes sure to tell me the good things she sees in my learning process, as well as the areas that need improvement.As for the studio itself and its eponymous leader: I absolutely recommend the experience. The studio is always clean, brightly lit, and the pianos are well-tuned. Payment options are clearly described, and Tiffany works with me when normal adult responsibilities get in the way of my learning process. If you are an adult who has always wanted to give the piano a try, but arent sure its for you: try Tiffany Piano Studio. The process is fun, stress-free, and works at your learning level. Take the first step and sign up. I have found the process enlightening and rejuvenating. So will you.

My daughter has been learning piano from Carleen for two years, and is now starting voice. Carleen is the perfect combo of serious yet sweet; and a natural teacher. My son just started learning and Carleen uses a piano game to get him interested and is extremely patient.

I have been wanting to take voice lessons/training for some time now, so when I saw The Tiffany Piano Studio while on a walk I just had to inquire. Long story short, I have been taking lessons since last summer. I have worked with Tiffany, Marga, and now Carleen. I even sang at the Fall Recital (I was the oldest one). All of these women are professional, talented, and they know their stuff! They got to know me, and have done a good job bringing out the best in me. I enjoy learning different techniques from each of these women, which I draw from for my practice. I have set some goals and I know I will achieve them with the training Im receiving from Tiffany Piano Studio.

My daughters piano teacher, Marga is amazing! She does such an excellent job of making her lessons fun and engaging! Its only been a few weeks and my daughter has learned so much and is playing the beginning of some of her favorite songs! My daughters piano lessons have become something she looks forward to every week. If youre looking for a place that provides a fun and private learning setting for your child, Tiffany Piano Studio is the perfect place :)

My daughter is 10yrs old and has been taking piano lessons with Carleen at Tiffanys Piano Studio for 6 months now and loves it! We live in West Hollywood and couldnt find anywhere to go. All of the private lessons were in home only. We stumbled upon this studio which is only a 10 minute drive and has weekend appointments. We are so thrilled to have finally found a place that is not only amazing but also works with our schedule!

Nicole has been teaching my 7 year old daughter piano lessons for 4 months now through Tiffany Piano Studio. Nicole was over at our house the other night and after about twenty minutes I didnt hear the piano being played anymore. I peaked my head out from my office to see what they were up to. Nicole had a board game out and was playing it with my daughter. The board game is called Music Land and it was created by Tiffany to engage her students in review and piano practice.I couldnt believe my eyes. I thought to myself, This is genius. This is a great way to get a young child to review all the theory, notation, and piano playing and make it fun. The smile on my daughters face was priceless. She just thought she was having a good time, and was clueless to the fact that the game is actually a learning tool.Sometimes she would run back up to the piano to review a song or she would use the little toy piano that came with the game. I was so impressed that after the lesson I had to pick Nicoles brain about the game. She said she uses it with the younger students to get them away from the piano for a few seconds but still engage them in the learning process.Getting a 7 year old to sit at the piano for an hour is quite a challenge but Nicole has never had an issue with my daughter. She has always seen her lesson time with Nicole as a treat and the music I hear coming from the piano is nothing but a treat to my ears.

I am extremely happy at Tiffany Piano studio. Very professional and fun at at the same time. Both my kids take lessons there. My son who is 12 was completely new to guitar. Carleen has been patient and encouraging. My son comes home proud of his work and progress. He is also learning to read music and feels good about himself. My daughter who is 10 takes voice lessons with Erica and she is loooving it! I wasn’t sure if an hour class would be too long, but my daughter says that it feels like 15 min. She has lots of fun and she is proud of her accomplishments. She can’t wait for her weekly lesson.

My son has been taking lessons with Tiffany Piano Studio for 2 years. Tiffany comes to our home every week for an hour piano lesson. She always starts off the lessons by asking my son how his day at school was. He seems excited to tell her about his teacher and assignments. Tiffany has taught him how to play Yellow Submarine by the Beatles and Star Wars, all these songs he choose himself. He knows how to read music which is great! She plays games, flashcards, and does a lot of review in his notebook. Hes engaged the whole time. Scheduling and payments are easy and done online or through email. I couldnt recommend her more highly and we do,to all our sons friends.

I highly recommend Tiffanys studio for music lessons! My 13 year old daughter has been taking guitar lessons with Steven. Although she is completely new to guitar, she is already playing a Shawn Mendes song that she chose and is learning so much so quickly. She looks forward to her lessons every week -- Its so nice to have Tiffanys in the neighborhood and Steven is a wonderful teacher.

My daughter loves her piano lessons with Marga, she looks forward to it all week! The music money, student of the month and other award programs they do have helped motivate her to practice. Being able to choose the songs that she wants to learn also makes it more fun and interesting for her. Were also so pleased that the studio is a vendor with our charter homeschool program.

Tiff has been teaching my son for three years now. He knew nothing when he started and now sits down to play every day. The encouragement he receives from her has made his love for music flourish. She teaches all the basics along with songs from today. My son just finished a Bruno Mars piece and couldnt be more happy with her teachings.

I have been trying to break down musical theory and re-learn the basics to get better at connecting all the dots with piano progressions and melodies. Tiffany suggested I work with Azuri and he has been nothing but perfect for advancing. I highly recommend working with anyone in this office, not only because they are good people but KNOW what they are doing! You will definitely enjoy learning from Tiffany Piano Studio.

Review №31

We got a piano last year for my wife who grew up playing but stopped sometime around college. Its hard to say how good she was when she was young since her teachers did not have a grading scale and focused solely on pieces. When we got the piano she loved it and started to practice and play pieces she was interested in. Personally, closing in on forty, Ive never learned a musical instrument. The idea of learning was actually a huge mental block. I dont really have an ear for sound or rhythm and reading notes and knowing where your fingers should be felt completely impossible. Almost like a fear that when you put everything together, its too much.After looking around, reading reviews, and checking several times over option A vs option B or C, we finally went with Tiffanys Studio. It was probably the combination of affordability, quality of reviews, and their flexibility that made us move towards their direction. Our piano teacher is Carleen, a wonderful person that I cant say enough good things about. She is very patient. I make so many mistakes during our weekly sessions but she never gets flustered by them. I remember it took about two months for my hands to stop shaking when I would play for her, I was just extremely nervous with everything being so new and having to perform in front of a new person that is listening very attentively to your performance. Thats also a great thing about having a teacher, is that it gets rid of your fear or nervousness to play in front of others.As a teacher, Carleen is excellent at pointing out problems or errors. This is probably the best part about having a teacher is that you want someone to stop you from developing bad habits or techniques from the very beginning. I really do believe that you need a good solid foundation just like anything in life and I really welcome her input. Aside from nervousness, the first real challenge with me was my timing. It was really, really off. Carleen worked with me on it consistently, not letting it go or slip by just so we could go to the next lesson. My timing is much better now but Im glad that when its off, which happens here and there, she calls it out and we discuss where the trouble sections are and how to fix them.Its all the little things that make instruction priceless. As we advance in lessons Carleen covers music theory that is on the book as well as extra from herself. Scales, preferred finger placements and movement, reading the musical notes that I originally thought would never be able to decipher, and with the music theory presented with the lesson it makes you think slightly more about what you are actually doing.My wife is also taking lessons from Carleen. Im not sure what to call them though, if they are medium or advanced lessons since I have no reference point. It certainly feels several years ahead of whatever Im able to play now. My wife loves the lessons. Her childhood teachers didnt teach any theory and instead just focused on difficulty and recitals. With Carleen, they work heavily on theory and its helped her immensely. She likes to write her own sheet music to songs she likes, either by modifying something that is already online and adjusting it to her tastes, or creating the music from scratch for songs that have no piano reference. Though I can read basic sheet music, the stuff she writes makes me dizzy. Its just too much and she credits a lot of it to Carleen. Without Carleen, it would have taken much longer with trial and error, but with what she is learning with Carleen, it gives her new ideas all the time on how to approach a composition.The Studio itself is very accommodating. Responsive to emails and inquires and flexible when dates need to be changed.

Nicole is beyond awesome. She really works with you regardless of your status, whether amateur or you have been playing for years, her knowledge, love and skill for the piano guides her, making it easy to work with any student. Shes extremely patient, even when you know you should have been practicing more during the week, she does not condemn or get upset but just continues to work with the student. Shes dope!

Tiffany has a special gift of teaching that engages kids of any age. My 7-year-old son didn’t show much interest in playing music until he went to Tiff and she taught him chords to his favorite songs from Linkin Park to Macklemore & Ryan Lewis. We had the pleasure of going to her student recital recently, and were so impressed by the level of talent. My son will be learning from her for many years to come, and I can’t recommend her highly enough.

Apostolos is absolutely wonderful! I am taking piano lesson with him. He is very good at teaching, always very clear and patient. I am naturally quite shy and nervous but he is a very encouraging teacher so it helps me to be more comfortable and confident. Apostolos is fun and he knows how to design lessons based on your needs and pace. I never played piano before taking class with Apostolos. After 2 classes with Apostolos, I could already play and sing along one of my favorite pop songs. Not perfectly of course but still!!! It was very exciting for me. He makes sure I am always having fun and growing.I cannot recommend him more!!!!!!!!

I definetely reccomend Azuri as a teacher! We have been going to Tiffanys Piano Studio for about 3 months and we wouldnt go anywhere else. The whole staff is great, easy to communicate with and friendly.
