SoundCheck Music School offers quality private lessons in vocals, guitar, piano, bass, and drums and describes its experience as the “Ultimate Rockstar Experience.” Online lessons are available via Zoom and can be scheduled at times that work for families, and students may switch between in-person and online sessions at no extra cost. If a student does not own an instrument, the school can lend instruments during lessons, and it is recommended that students have an instrument at home for practice between lessons.
The teachers at SoundCheck Music School are professional music educators and working musicians, and all lessons are taught by professional touring musicians and recording artists who state that they have an extreme passion for teaching. The school is owned by recording artist Electra Barakos, a finalist on the TV show “The Voice” of Greece, and professional touring drummer and educator Dan Welby.
The school’s mission statement explains that the owners aim to share their love and passion for music with aspiring talent, to fill gaps they observed while working at other schools, and to provide what they describe as a more complete music and performance education. They state that SoundCheck is ready to inspire and motivate people to be the best they can be, whether they want to become working professionals or serious hobbyists, and that the school offers a fun and rewarding environment for meeting individual goals. The mission statement also describes SoundCheck Music School as preparation for what they call the real world of music and performance.
SoundCheck Music School notes that it has one of the best live band performance programs in LA County and that students have chances to perform in live band settings at some of the best music venues in LA. The school highlights that its student band “Limitless” won 1st Place at the 2026 Battle of the Bands during the Salute to Recreation Family Festival in Northridge.
Parent testimonials report that students have learned to read music in a short time, have made a lot of progress on drums, and enjoy learning new material. Parents describe the instructors as great teachers, mention that there is an annual Holiday program where kids showcase their talents, and say that their children take drum and voice lessons and are doing well under the teachers’ direction and guidance. One parent notes that both drum and singing lessons are available from the owners and calls them a great team.
