Music Instruction

Music FactoryMusic Fackory

...your musical experience starts here!

The Music Factory was built on the unique philosophy that teachers who have proven themselves through firsthand experience in the music industry provide the most effective and practical learning opportunities. Our instructors, with experience in writing, recording, touring and formal music education, offer Music Factory students, of all abilities, ages and disciplines, a complete and comprehensive program of music instruction.

But wait, there's more!

Drawing from our industry experience, we know that learning and success require more than just a private music lesson. A strong emphasis is placed on music theory and participation in recital and group settings, so Music Factory students learn how to truly interact with other musicians.

The wide range of experienced artists on the Music Factory teaching staff enables us to cater to all types of music from pop/rock (Josh Partington/Something Corporate) to Jazz (Evan Stone and Ron Kobayashi) and classical (Alan Lechusza). No other music school can match the range of instruments and combined resume of experience as the Music Factory. And, our "UC approved academic curriculum" is constantly updated under the guidance of the Music Factory board of advisers.

So, what are you waiting for? Sign up today for a special promotion and receive 1/2 OFF your first month of musical instruction. This offer is only valid to new Music Factory students, not already currently enrolled with us.

Were committed to helping you reach your musical goals and look forward to working with you.
