VIOLIN LESSONS

Our instructor, Benjamin Perry is well versed in preparing students for ABRSM levels as well as teaching the Suzuki Method.  Violin lessons are not limited to Classical Music only and students are encouraged to bring music they want to learn, whatever genre. The violin is a particularly challenging instrument to learn, which is why it’s important to take your time at the beginning to really focus on creating a solid foundation on which to build. Violin Lessons will start with learning about posture, how to hold the instrument, how to hold the bow, how to place the bow on the string and bow smoothly and produce a beautiful tone. Understanding your body and how it connects to the violin is essential for being able to play in a relaxed state, without tension. Once that is mastered we can start adding the left hand. We will learn scales, arpeggios, how to read treble clef, any theory you might be interested in, but most importantly get started on some songs! Be it classical, pop, jazz, bluegrass, our instructor has experience playing them all. Lessons are for Adults and Kids. Students should be at least 5 years old to start lessons although you can always do a trial lesson and see if your child has the potential to start learning earlier. Some kids start learning as young as 3! After learning some of the basics, Kids can participate in the Hawaii Youth Symphony if they are between the ages of 8 and 18.  You can also rent a violin for about $20 per month if you don’t want to buy one right away.

I took lessons from Landon for about a half of a year every week. He is very knowledgeable and is well versed in his music knowledge including music theory. No matter what songs I brought to Landon he always knew how to teach me and learn the song him self in a very proficient manner.

Taking as little as eight electric guitar lessons from Landon Mattox has taught me a lot. Landon is a great teacher that takes his time to teach you as much as he can at a pace that is comfortable for you. Landon also teaches fun songs to learn with and if you take the initiative to practice and learn, it will take you a long way. Also, Landon has great methods to improve your overall guitar playing experience. He makes lessons and learning the guitar very enjoyable and I would definitely recommend taking lessons from him.

Mr. Landon is a great guitar teacher. I have been taking lessons from him for quite a while now and I can tell you that I have learned a ton. Unlike most teachers, who will traditonaly force music on to you, he wants you to learn what you are interested in. All in all, very good teacher with lots of musical knowledge to back it up.

One of the most qualified as well as fun and creative guitar teachers in Hawaii. He's got experience from all over the world. I've taken guitar lessons from many teachers but Landon is one of my favorites. His approach has always been creative and I've learned so much in such a short amount of time. He can teach both adults and kids and seems to be able to connect with anyone. He's always been encouraging while pushing me to do even more. After studying with Landon it opened up a whole new world for me. You need to contact this guy if you want guitar lessons and your on Oahu.

My son has been taking guitar lessons from Landon for the past six years. My son's skills have improved and he is able to play some impressive pieces thanks to Landon. Landon is teaching him both the acoustic guitar and electric guitar. He is very patient and supportive. My son enjoys the lessons because of the supportive experience and I think Landon has helped him build a love for the guitar that will stay with him for life.

I have been taking weekly lesson with Landon for 15 months and I can't begin to tell you how fun, challenging and creative the lessons are. I had never picked up a bass before this and now I'm on my third bass book and creating bass lines. Dream come true.

My son Hunter (age 9) took lessons with Landon over the last year. During our first lesson Landon assisted us with choosing a guitar that was the right body size for Hunter. I was able to sit in on the first few lessons with them so I understood what Hunter needed to practice. Landon's directions for practicing were very clear and easy to follow. Hunter showed improvement weekly when he practiced 15 minutes per day.
