WHO WE ARE

LA Music Academy is a small, intensive contemporary music education program. We were founded in 1996 by a number of prominent LA-based players who had also had significant experience providing practical, concentrated education to students over the last several decades at a variety of music education institutions. Their thought was to create a different kind of school that truly maximizes the improvement and learning that you receive in the shortest possible time. Their belief in this led them to create an educational experience in which we, to this day, focus on:

  • Maintaining an environment that is in our belief the best environment for learning: a small, friendly atmosphere that ensures personal attention and a "real world" understanding of your strengths and weaknesses.


  • Ensuring the development of "real world" playing skill by performing everyday with professional accompanists from the LA music scene. Some of our accompanists perform or have performed with Ray Charles, Coolio, Sergio Mendes, Steve Vai and many other prominent artists.


  • Offering a faculty that has no peer in terms of playing skill, practical, professional performance experience at the highest levels in the music industry. Our names speak for themselves both in terms of their performing ability but also their ability to teach what they know.


  • Covering a wide variety of styles with instructors and players who know those art forms


We believe we are unique in the way we teach contemporary music and our graduates and those who hire them consistently say that we accomplish what we set out to do for our students. If you are serious about your music career and want to learn in the best possible educational environment, then spend a little more time looking around our website and, as we say, "Get To The Music."



 






   "I really checked a lot of
schools and as far as atmosphere
and teachers, LA Music Academy
is the best. Maybe some places
have fancier facilities, but the
thing you should have in mind
is who you are learning from. I
am learning from guys who are
working and know how the industry
works and changes these days.
They know exactly what they are
doing. The most important thing
is teachers, and for this, the
LA Music Academy is the best."

   "I'm halfway through the one
year program. There are only
ten of us in the bass program,
and we're like a little family.
I'm having the time of my life
and feel like I'm getting an
education that can make me
a pro player."
