Music Teacher LA founder, Olesya MacNeil, graduated with Masters Degrees in Music, Psychology and Pedagogy and has been providing quality private piano lessons since 1991, performing on the national radio, and perfecting her own teaching techniques that she uses today to train her teachers.

Moreover, she was a highly sought after piano teacher in Los Angeles and taught the children of Larry King, Billy Baldwin, Dan Beckerman (the LA Kings’ governor), Susannah Grant (the Oscar-winning screenwriter), Bennett Schneir (the animated film producer), and many other professionals.

Finally, Olesya assembled a team of highly professional and experienced musicians who share her enthusiasm for quality music education. Learn more about our founder here.

Los Angeles piano lessons designed for you

Piano is a great and easy first instrument to learn- students just need to press the key to produce a sound. Also, comprehensive knowledge acquired by students in piano lessons can later be applied to any other instrument.

Our Los Angeles piano lessons are tailored to each student’s tastes, needs, and learning pace. Moreover, students study ear training, notation, rhythm, technique, memorization, sight-reading, improvisation and music theory. Finally, Music Teacher LA offers composition and music production per students’ requests.

Our earliest recommended age to start taking one-on-one piano lessons is 4.5 years because longer attention span and the ability to retain materials become more natural at that age. Only in rare cases, we accept pupils younger than age 4 into our piano program after meeting and evaluating them. In summary, young children need to demonstrate the finger strength, count to 10 and know the ABC. Then, they can begin private piano lessons with Music Teacher LA.

Individual Piano Practice Plan

Practice time can be anywhere from 5 minutes for a very young beginner to any number of hours for an advanced adult. For example, young beginners who are ages 4-6 are asked to practice their assigned song 5 times per day, which takes on average 4-5 minutes. Children ages 6-7 who have been taking lessons for 1 year, are advised to practice 15-30 minutes per day. In other words, students have individual practice time plans based on their age and their length of piano study.

In order to practice at home efficiently, each student needs a piano or a digital keyboard with 88 weighted keys. If you need assistance in purchasing a piano then Music Teacher LA will connect you with the right piano wholesaler in Los Angeles, based on your budget, piano brand and size requirements.

Finally, our teachers will educate students how to practice at home effectively. Indeed, we train all young children to practice, especially when kids do not receive help with music homework at home.

Our in-home piano lessons are offered 7 days a week in the comfort of the students’ homes in the Los Angeles areas. We also offer online lessons via Zoom application.
