About us
Hello & welcome!
Meet Maria, Dominic, and Joe. We are friends/family and professional musicians/music educators who moved to LA in 2016. We now live together in Echo Park, where we have set up a creative space full of instruments, original artwork and music. We are now offering lessons from home, our Echo Park Music Corner.
Our rates can be found here.
In addition to teaching out of our home, we also provide lessons in your own home. Please shoot us an email to inquire about those rates.

"Working with Joe has opened my eyes to the technical side of music. He allows me the freedom to choose songs to sing that I like which makes the learning part fun and enjoyable. Also, practicing in an actual studio where we record and play with different software helps me to familiarize myself with working in that kind of environment. I give it 5 stars :)" -- Alyssa L.
