About Us
Bravo music school
Teach - Connect - Perform
We offer piano, violin, guitar (acoustic and electric, ukulele and bass), vocal, drum, and band instrument lessons.
From a 5 year old just starting piano or violin to our adults whose goal is to either learn a new instrument or to perform in public, we have a team of teachers with extensive teaching and performing experience to meet their goals.
Our curriculum gives students a strong foundation in music and an opportunity to showcase their hard work through recital performances throughout the year. The performances can include solo playing, accompaniment with piano or guitar, or performing in a band setting with vocals, guitar, keyboard, bass, and drums.
For our classical piano and violin students, our credentialed teachers can prepare students to perform and successfully complete the Certificate of Merit (CM) music program. It features 11 levels testing students annually in performance repertoire, technique, ear training, sight reading/singing, and music theory.
Our piano and violin students also perform at the Southwestern Youth Music Festival (SYMF) in Long Beach. It is a teacher-sponsored competition to encourage the study of music, create performance opportunities, and enriching the cultural arts in the community.
For our guitar, keyboard, vocal, and drum students, we have programs to connect students to perform pop, rock, and jazz music in a band setting. Students apply their private lessons to performing complete songs in a full band with vocals, guitar, bass, keyboard, and drums. We hold group “gig workshops” that give students the opportunity to work together to perform songs in a public setting.
We believe that taking private lessons with our teachers build strong interpersonal relationships that accelerate the learning process. The group band setting also builds stronger relationships with our other students with the goal of achieving a professional quality performance in public.
We look forward to having you take an introductory lesson to start a fun and challenging music journey!
