About the provider

West Coast Music Academy was founded by Jeff Novack in 2008. The school says its teachers are experienced, with most holding at least a bachelor's degree in music, many holding master's degrees, and some holding doctorates. It also states that it was the first school in the Southern California region to use the Musical Ladder System®.

Focus exclusively on private, one-on-one music lessons. No contracts or semesters; lessons are open-ended and ongoing month to month. Great customer service from staff who handle scheduling and payments. Flexible lesson arrangements, including online lessons for students. Youth choir is open to all skill levels, no audition or prior training needed, and some younger students with prior musical experience may be accepted with instructor approval.
