This review is for Lucian Nicolescu. He is a fantastic cello teacher who is patient, knowledgeable and funny with a relaxed demeanor. I am an adult trying to learn a brand-new instrument, and I was definitely nervous. Lucian took all the stress and nervousness out of the experience for me and made it fun! If you are looking for a cello teacher, look no further! You can take classes with Lucian at a studio or in your home. I believe you can contact him directly at 213-436-5794. Good luck!

My experience with both Owen who I think is the owner or manager, and with my violin teacher Hanna Jin has been exceptional, enjoyable and uber professional. Actually everyone I've spoken to at the shop and on the tutoring side have just been so great. I bought a violin here about 6 month ago - and got all the expert help I needed to get set up to begin learning Violin again after 20 years since (I learnt violin at school). Everyone was so helpful and friendly, and clearly so knowledgeable about this exquisite instrument. I have also been taking violin lessons there for around 4 months or so - and all the teachers I've met are skillful and so supportive. But my current teacher Hanna Jin is by far my favorite. She's so talented but mostly she's so supportive and inspiring and really helps me feel and embrace that I am a Violinist. It's a beautiful feeling. And I'm forever grateful to Hanna, Owen and everyone at the LA Violin Shop / LA Music Academy.

Friendly Staff. Great teachers for orchestral instruments.
