Private Music Lessons in El Monte, CA

Music is my life. Music is an expression of who I am and what I like to bring to the world. My services are threefold. I am a performer (Vocals and Guitar) and a music educator. For more than 25 years, I have provided award winning musical services as a solo vocalist with guitar, duo, trio and full band, playing tunes from Standards, Easy Listening to Classic Rock and Originals. My Band has been a Yamaha Ticketmaster awardee and have played from small private venues to large stages such as the Redondo Beach Performing Arts Center, Hermosa Community Theater, Santa Barbara Jazz Festival, Manhattan Beach Fireworks Festival, Americana Fireworks Festival, Los Angeles Marathon and more. Employers include private parties, hotels, community centers, cities and government agencies. I am also a Musical Director for numerous stage musicals, a church music director and a Music teacher for Grades 1-8 which has provided a curriculum basis for Private Lessons. I teach private Vocal lessons, using time tested methodology that is appropriate for beginners to seasoned singers. I also teach guitar and ukulele and have been popular for putting together "garage bands" for all ages to Adult. Finally, I am a songwriter who can assist you or your company with special musical dedications, infomercials or theme songs. Music has been my full time occupation for many years and the magic of music is found in each client or service I provide. I enjoy seeing the fun and fellowship that results from my performances as well as the special life's memories that can be made with music. I love the "big" moments when my students realize that they have accomplished so much and they are really playing music.

¡Hablo Español! All ages, all levels. Jazz, Blues, Rock, Latin, Soloing, Improvisation, Technique, Music Theory, and much much more! I use the Zoom app for live interactive lessons from the comfort of your home. Everyone moves further, much faster, and is more likely to stay engaged by learning from a master teacher with decades of real-world professional experience to share.

Lukasz Yoder is widely regarded as one of the top piano teachers in the Los Angeles area. He holds both a Bachelor’s and Master’s degree in Piano Performance, awarded on full scholarship from the UCLA Herb Alpert School of Music, where he studied under renowned pianist and Chair of the Piano Department, Professor Inna Faliks. Other major influences include the legendary American pianist Garrick Ohlsson and his mother, acclaimed pedagogue Roza Yoder, who was instrumental in shaping his early musical foundation. Born into a musical family, Lukasz began playing the piano at age four. He has since performed in concerts around the world and is a prizewinner of numerous international piano competitions and awards. As a teacher, Lukasz takes an individualized and intuitive approach, tailoring each lesson to meet the unique goals, backgrounds, and learning styles of his students — ranging in age from 4 to 85. His ultimate aim is to cultivate a lifelong love and appreciation for music in every student. He offers private lessons both in-home and at his hillside studio, where students have access to a wide variety of instruments, including three grand pianos — two of them Steinways, one of which is a 9-foot concert grand.
