Elite Music Instruction has been amazing for us. We moved from LA last year and needed to find my son a new guitar instructor. I told Jeff about my son and he knew just who to send. And he was right! Blake has been my son’s instructor for a year or so and he’s fantastic. And Jeff is so aaccommodating

We have had such a great experience! I did a couple trial lessons with other music programs and looked into many others, and the owner is so responsive, and our teacher was so joyful, patient and good with our kids. It’s so convenient that she comes to our home.

I MUST highlight their instructor, Denise who my children know as Ms. Dee! She has been a blessing to our children teaching them both the piano and singing. She's patient and has a beautiful way of connecting with our children. I'm grateful for her abilities to also challenge my daughter who has a keen gift of attention to detail. Ms. Dee was able to harness those abilities and maximize her lessons around that. Super thankful for her and Elite.

Thank you so much for taking the time to share such a thoughtful and heartfelt review! We are truly grateful that you chose Elite Music Instruction to be part of your children’s musical journey.
It means so much to hear how positively your daughter and son have responded to their lessons, especially at such a young age. We believe that every child deserves the opportunity to discover and develop their musical abilities, and we’re honored to have been able to support your family from the very beginning.
And of course, we couldn’t be happier to hear such wonderful words about Denise, or as your children know her, Ms. Dee! Her patience, dedication, and ability to connect with each student individually are exactly what make her such a special instructor. We love hearing how she has recognized your daughter’s attention to detail and natural abilities and used those strengths to challenge and encourage her.
We are incredibly thankful for your trust in Elite Music Instruction and for allowing Ms. Dee to be part of your children’s growth. We look forward to continuing to nurture their love of music and seeing where their talents take them!
With gratitude,
The Elite Music Instruction Team

Thank you so much for taking the time to share such a wonderful review! We are truly grateful to hear about your daughter’s experience with Elite Music Instruction and, most importantly, to know that her voice lessons with Denise have helped her feel more confident and prepared as she takes this exciting next step in her musical journey.
Preparing for auditions and applying to arts high schools is a significant milestone, and it is incredibly rewarding for our entire team to know that we have been able to play a part in supporting her goals. Confidence is such an important part of performing, and watching a student grow not only in their vocal abilities but also in their self-assurance is one of the most fulfilling aspects of what we do.
Denise will be so happy to hear your kind words! She puts tremendous care and dedication into helping each student develop their individual voice, strengthen their technique, and become a more confident and expressive performer. We are especially excited to continue supporting your daughter as she prepares for her upcoming auditions and applications.
It sounds like she has already built a very strong foundation, and we are honored that you have trusted Elite Music Instruction to help her take that talent to the next level. We look forward to continuing to work with her, helping her feel fully prepared, confident, and excited when audition day arrives.
Thank you again for your incredibly kind words and for your 11/10 recommendation! Your support means so much to our teachers and our entire Elite Music Instruction family. We are cheering her on every step of the way and wish her the very best as she pursues admission to the arts high schools she is hoping to attend. We can't wait to see all that she accomplishes! 🎶❤️

I contacted Jeff’s team to get a new piano teacher for my son, age 7. I explained that I wanted someone who was disciplined and kept him on track while making the lesson enjoyable. I was matched with a teacher who has been awesome and met all my criteria. In just a few lessons, he has learned more than he did in the previous year of lessons with another teacher who was quite lax and unstructured. I am very pleased. I hope we can continue working with this teacher for a long time. Communication is excellent too.
Response from the owner · a year ago
That is awesome to hear. I am very glad I was able to match your son with a teacher that fit your criteria. Its not always easy to do, but we do always try our best to make the match a good one. Thank you for sharing and caring.
