Learning an instrument is a fun commitment of your time, but to really get the most out of your learning experience you need to have just as much enthusiasm as your teacher!

Practice makes perfect, and as little as 30 minutes a day will change your playing and your thinking!

Remember that...
Music is an expression of life and life is an expression of your soul.
So...
Express yourself!

Art

Art-Works Studio
Art-Works Studio offers year round continuous art classes designed specifically for children ages 5-17 and ½ day art camps for children 6-13, all in an environment that fosters creativity and promotes self-expression.  Children will use painting, drawing and collage techniques to explore line, shape, color, texture and pattern to develop and refine their own unique inspirations and ideas.  Children will learn proper use of painting tools/media to examine familiar objects and places in the world (flowers, animals, people, still life, etc…), as well as more abstract concepts of mood and emotion.  Children will also be exposed to works of art from past masters to provide inspiration and encourage awareness of arts rich history.  At Art-Works we strive to bring out each child’s unique vision through personal guidance and patient encouragement.  Classes are grouped by age rather than experience, so that every child may reach his or her own potential.  Classes are held after-school and on weekends, camps are held during summer/spring & holiday breaks.  Children will receive the rare experience of working in a professional working artist’s studio.

Music West is the premier youth musical theater of the West Side. Their goals are to give young people the opportunity to perform and experience large-scale musical theater, and to provide Westside audiences with quality musical entertainment in their own community.

Music West productions are organized to allow participants to continue be involved in other activities while still experiencing musical theater performance.  In addition to the performances, our actors also have the opportunity to go behind-the-scenes of a full-scale production and assist in set building, crew, choreography and other aspects vital to producing musical theater.

Be a part of this exciting opportunity!  Visit their web site at http://www.musicwest.org for more information today!

Private Tutoring

Jessica Strauss - I am a professional voice over artist, I have my own home studio and I've been teaching for about 1 1/2 years now.   Thus far, I teach adults, but if kids wanted to give it a try that would be fun too.  I have worked with kids through LA Unified & I volunteer for Book Pals at Elementary schools.
