Unlock Your Musical Potential

Our son David is 6 year old. He is doing a number of different activities and it isn’t at all easy to get him to focus during an hour. Valery is so gentle and conveys so much peace that he manages to have David’s undivided attention and focus during a full hour. Our son actually asks for more and looks forward to the next class. He is making tremendous progress and Valery helps David develop his gift for music. Valery’s life is music and he is fully dedicated to sharing his passion. He is totally driven and hard working to achieve his goals and applies the same determination to see his students succeed. While he was a prodigy child playing with a Philharmonic at age 13, Valery is very humble and discreet, We have been so thrilled with the classes that both my wife and I decided to start learning with Valery too. The pace is pretty fast and Valery challenges me at every class to push my limits and progress significantly every time. We are blessed Valery touched our lives. We can only healthfully recommend him as a great music teacher and human being.

Val is an amazing and passionate musician and his enthusiasm for playing is contagious and very inspiring. I got referred to him by my friend. He has been teaching her 7 year old daughter. He is really great with kids extremely patient and his methods are very educational and really fun at the same time. He has very unique approach and makes it fun at the same time. My friends daughter absolutely loves these piano lessons. I decided to try myself and it has been going great so far.

I’m a business owner and I have no time to practice or have any hobbies. When I came to Val I asked if he could accommodate my busy schedule and have a curriculum for me that works with my busy work schedule. I enjoy playing and Val customizes his lessons to a point where even if I don’t practice a lot I still make good progress.

Our girls have been taking lessons from Val for the last two years. Val has been effective at encouraging the girls to practice and improve steadily. We think part of the reason he is so effective is that he sets challenging yet achievable goals. We highly recommend him Wholeheartedly and are very appreciative of his efforts

Val is the best piano teacher I’ve ever had. He’s very talented in both piano and composition, and he has the gift to keep his student always inspired and motivated. I’m always amazed and impressed when he’s demonstrating a piece in class every time, and the music speaks for itself. He definitely have high expectations for his students and I’ve been making progress ever since I started taking class with him. I’m really lucky to have him as my piano mentor. I love his passion for music and I enjoy learning from him so much

I have been working with Val for weeks now and I am very happy with his teaching methods. I learned piano at a young age and didn’t play for 10 years. So he is very patient in ‘teaching an old dog new tricks’ as well as teaching his professional methods from his extensive education and time in the music industry.

He is also very honest and straight forward in his method, which helps the stubborn adult brain progress.

If you want the best piano teacher I would recommend Valery Goldes to everyone that wants to learn playing the piano, beginner or advance. After my 12 year old took Piano lessons with different teachers and was discouraged by their ways of teaching she wanted to quit playing the piano. After my wife and I decided to give it another chance and find her another teacher in NY. We asked Valery if he can give my kid a few lessons. It was a different experience. My kid became more enthusiastic about playing the piano. I think Valery gave her the motivation and the foundation for playing the piano. We are wishing Valery the best in LA.

Before learning from Valery, I had already taken some piano lessons. In my experience he is one of the best instructors who I’ve had. He is not only talented but very courteous and listens to what you want to get out of his class. Not to mention his awesome education and credibility. He’s not just a great teacher but an inspirational artist!
