PV Music House describes itself as a music school and music lesson studio with an in-house and online music store that includes instrument rentals and rent-to-own options, accessories, and merchandise from local musicians, along with in-house repair staff and partnerships with external repair facilities when needed. It states that it has been the premier music lesson studio on the Palos Verdes Peninsula since the 1980s and that it is building growing ensembles to promote music as a team activity, with performance built in as a regular part of training rather than a final exam.
The organization’s mission states that it is rooted in the belief that music is a vehicle for good, that music education is for everyone, and that music is a practice, a language, and a lifelong way of becoming more fully human. It states that its vision is for students to leave loving music more deeply than when they arrived, that it is building thoughtful, creative, emotionally intelligent individuals who use music as a form of expression, connection, and resilience, and that it measures success by progress and willingness to perform rather than perfection.
PV Music House states that its teachers are highly trained and actively working musicians and educators who provide conservatory-style instruction across band and orchestra instruments, voice, and guitar in all styles. The leadership and staff include Founder and Classical Guitarist Jon Minei, Senior Customer Service Representative Andrew Goo, Customer Service Associates Sam Korban and Gabi D. and Eliseo P., and in-house repair staff Jon Minei, Matthew Yamada, and Sam Korban.
Instructor biographies include Tomoko Ariyuki, who has almost 30 years of teaching experience on three continents, has taught in music schools and colleges, has given private lessons to children and adults of every level, and is a member of the Music Teachers’ Association of California (MTAC). Dr. Lauren Bowman studied piano with Dr. Konstantin Sirounian, Delores Stevens, and Myrna Mascardo, studied ukulele with Mitch Chang, was featured in CTA Magazine’s May/June 2017 issue for pioneering the High School Ukulele Program in California, and had her ukulele program featured in the Images of America Series book “Hawaiians in Los Angeles” in 2012; since 2004 she has taught music in the Centinela Valley Union High School District at all three high schools and has taught multiple music classes. Srimal de Mel is described as a professional pianist, composer, and producer from Torrance who has released three original albums and performed at the Reno Jazz Festival, the Washington Women in Jazz Festival, and the Central Avenue Jazz Festival, with over a decade of experience in classical, pop, and jazz styles. Ann Grennan is a member of the Music Teachers’ Association, where she has served as President, and a member of the National Association of Teachers of Singing; she has served on the faculty of South Bay Conservatory, Orange County High School of the Arts, and the Norris Performing Arts Center, and has studied the Alexander Technique and Feldenkrais. Kevin Patterson is a graduate of the California Institute of the Arts with a Bachelor of Fine Arts, is a high school music teacher with the Los Angeles Unified School District, and holds a teaching credential from California State University, Dominguez Hills. Dr. Marisa Solomon holds a Ph.D. in Musicology, an MM in Voice from UCLA, an MA in German, and a BA in Voice and German from CSUF, has taught ages from four and a half to 80, and has been on staff at Pepperdine, UCLA, Ventura College, Cal Lutheran University, Imperial Valley College, and Latin American Bible Institute in Los Angeles teaching various music subjects.
