Victoria Theodore Music & Lessons – LA & Bay Area

Victoria Theodore is an amazing talent and incredible piano instructor. She is very organized and can craft a plan that suits each individual’s needs. Not many instructors can offer training in such a wide variety of styles as Victoria, in fact I’ve never been around anyone who could slide so easily from classical to pop, R&B and more. I feel very fortunate to have finally found a teacher that could help me progress rapidly in both classical and contemporary piano styles.

If you should be so fortunate as to get the opportunity to study with Victoria, seize it! She is absolutely the best, in my opinion. I have studied with a half a dozen or so people as well as taken university courses, and hands down, Victoria Theodore is the most thorough, diverse, organized, reasonable, professional, and artistically talented. She is so good that she is actually performs with Stevie Wonder, which is why it might be difficult to get an appointment with her because she goes on tour for short periods of time. She still maintains her teaching schedule though. From Rock to Bach, you name it, she can play it. Her San Leandro studio is so elegant too. Word of advice: Call her NOW! She is outstanding.

Victoria is an absolutely fabulous teacher, and I cannot recommend her highly enough. I have had numerous piano and voice teachers over the years, but never stuck with them for one reason or another. Well, now I know why — I wasn’t learning anything that was actually helping me improve. With Victoria, I’m learning practical skills that I can see improvement from immediately! Even my husband refers to my singing in recordings done only a few years ago as «my old voice» and is urging me to re-​record now that I’ve actually got some power going on. Victoria’s edge is that she is a gigging musician and can authoritatively teach improvisation and other performance skills. These tools are often overlooked in a traditional classical piano teaching environment, yet they are so valuable to folks who want to accompany themselves or others. It’s never too late to take music lessons, and if you decide to do so, you will learn a lot from Victoria.

Victoria Theodore is an excellent, excellent piano teacher! She is very inspirational, and has such a positive, beautiful vibe about her! Her words of encouragment keep me motivated, and every week I look forward to learning from such a great musician, and person. If you want to learn how to play the piano, and play beautifully, study with Victoria! You’ll have no regrets!
