About Venice School of Music
Venice School of Music (also so known as) Los Angeles Vocal Studio) is a boutique music studio that began out of my home twenty years ago. In 2021, I was able to move into a brick and mortar studio location (across from the Venice Whole Foods -nestled between the border of Santa Monica and Mar Vista ). Current musical offerings include piano, voice and songwriting lessons for all ages & styles.

Mission Statement
My studio aims to offer lessons for everyone, embracing all music styles, voice types, and genres. I place a strong focus on recreational music study for adults who may have drifted away from their musical passions. Additionally, I believe that you don't need to be a singer to benefit from voice lessons. Our voices are essential for self-expression, and singing lessons will help you unlock your voice and improve your communication skills. ​​
