COURSES OFFERED BY HOLLYWOOD OF MUSIC AND ARTS

For beginning students between the ages of 5-7 that express an interest in guitar lessons

As noted above all of our voice instructors offer voice and piano combination lessons, which are available to students of all ages. A voice and piano combination lesson emphasizes a dual focus on both vocal technique and playing the piano – combined into one lesson

The Hollywood Academy of Music and Arts has provided piano lessons to students in West Hollywood, Los Angeles, and the San Fernando Valley since 2004. We pride ourselves on the immense progress that our students make and can’t wait to help you or your little ones reach your goals

Guitar lessons at Hollywood Academy of Music and Arts will include a healthy mix of technique and repertoire (learning songs). Private lessons will be customized to the individual student’s interests, especially in terms of the songs learned

We accept violin students from the age of 4 years old. Violin (and also piano) are the best instruments to start children on from a very young age. Violins are sized to a fit even a very small child which makes it easy for a younger child to begin lessons

There are now a number of drum makers who are producing small size drum kits. Especially common now are electronic drum kits that can be found which are smaller and will work well with younger children

It helps students become more advanced songwriters and composers, and music theory also helps students get a big picture understanding about how music works for their specific instrument and for other instruments as well

The alto saxophone is the most popular and common instrument for beginning saxophone students to start on. The tenor saxophone is bigger, bulkier and requires much more lung capacity and breath control to play than the alto saxophone

The cello instrument is also in the violin family, and is essentially a very large version of the violin with a much deeper tone.  Unlike the violin and viola, the tip of a cello (called the endpin) rests on the floor while it is played

We recommend that most clarinet students begin lessons at 5 or older. The clarinet is the typically the easiest of the woodwinds instruments to begin on, because it requires less lung capacity to produce a clean tone than the other woodwinds instruments
