Business Owner

When I was in middle school my passion was the Visual Arts. My Uncle Dorian and Grandfather, Larrick were both very talented musicians. Some of my fondest memories were of them jamming on a stage in this oversized barn/​garage which they built. Being that young and knowing these talented musicians were a part of my family, I was really inspired.

For the past 5 – 6 years, I have been teaching guitar and bass. I also write my own music.

My wife & I have been taking Mandolin (her) and Mandola (me) lessons here for about a year now and yesterday after another stellar lesson it occurred to me that we don’t post positive reviews as much as unhappy ones and this place is so far above the bar that I thought I should let people know. If you are looking for a place to take lessons, this is it. Our lessons are with John and we not only get great lessons together as a couple but John makes them fun as well. Amazing musician, he can pick up ANY instrument and play it, but genuinely enjoyable and nice as well. We look forward to our lessons each week. Add to that the second story comfortable homey laid back unpretentious studio and the location on 2nd street in Belmont Shores overlooking the street with great breezes and wonderful food smells in the summer and you couldn’t ask for a better experience. Each week after our lesson we walk to a different restaurant on 2nd street and enjoy relaxing with great food as a late lunch. The location completely adds to the overall experience and we make a full relaxing afternoon of it each time. Soooooo:

I came to Belmont Music Studios a couple months ago with almost no previous musical training. I always wanted to play the electric guitar but never got around to it until one day, I saw the tribute to Albert King during his induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame on TV last year.
After that, I was determined to learn blues guitar though I regretted the fact that I would be starting relatively late in life, thinking that one had to start this sort of thing when very young.
But I started taking private lessons with Big Harmonica Bob and John Capito and am starting from square one learning the scales and basic guitar technique. Bob and John make it fun to start with the basics as they quickly started to have me applying the basics to playing music and encouraging me to not just memorize notes and rifts but to be able to feel the music and improvise in order to truly play blues music.
On top of that, the studio has been encouraging me to play with an experienced blues band at the studio which is the fastest way to truly learn to play electric guitar.
I always leave the sessions feeling like I improved a lot and appreciate that John and Bob are always patient with me making me look forward to each new lesson. I believe that in a year or two, I’ll be good enough to play with the band in front of an audience!

My daughter has been taking piano lessons at Belmont Music Studio for about ten months. Last Saturday was her second recital. Considering the short time she has been taking lessons, I am absolutely amazed at how well she plays. Without taking anything away from my daughter, I have to give credit to Alissa who has been an awesome instructor. My daughter absolutely loves her and the whole group at Belmont Music Studio. I heartily recommend them.

If you want to learn music come here! Remember when John gave me guitar lessons! Such a great guitarist and not a bad singer as well, all the staff there is great and kind along with the owner (John), I miss coming to play and jam and learn new things every other day! Definitely an experience I miss, if I had the money I would still be going and most likely be a guitar prodigy. I will come back and get more lessons from you, but anyways, if you want some of the best musicians in long beach to teach you, whether it be vocals, drums, guitar, piano, cello, harmonica etc, check it out! You won’t be disappointed, I promise you that.

Not only does BMS care about music education and having the most passionate instructors readily available, but the store went one step further recently adding a new room, new paint, and new carpet! Great atmosphere for music lessons, and a must for families and adults that are interested in pursuing their musical aspirations! Great place! And so happy to have met John. He’s a great musical mentor.

I started my son on piano lessons here years ago. Every single teachet he has had has been supportive, gentle and caring. He is 11 now and still wants to come every week. I highly recommend this place for kids especially, of any age.

Our nine year old daughter started acoustic guitar lessons here with Gage about three months ago and has progressed beautifully, what is even better than progress though, is the love for music he has fostered in her. She has grown so much and has begun exploring different styles of music, she practices every day — voluntarily — and is just completely in love with learning to play. She counts down the days between lessons and has started asking us to add a second lesson to her schedule. Its a beautiful process to watch and we couldn’t do it without them.

I’ve been a Belmont Music Studio student for the past 18 months. Myself and a friend signed up for semi-​private acoustic guitar lessons with essentially zero music experience and not a lick of natural talent. We left our very first lesson with a song to take home and practice. And since then our instructor, John, who also happens to be the owner, has kept us interested, challenged and encouraged with each lesson and new song. Despite it being difficult at first to understand how to strum the guitar or learn the basic chord shapes, we found that over time we could actually play several songs. And now, 18 months later, we are venturing on stage with John’s band. So if ever a cliché were appropriate, it’s now: «If I can do it, anyone can!» Or maybe I should say: «If John can teach me to play a guitar, he can teach anyone to play!»

This is a studio that caters to music lovers of all ages. Set in the heart of Belmont Shore, it’s unique location makes this the ultimate and pleasant experience. Students of all ages with interests in various instruments can expect the best in instruction.
I took a percussion lesson with John, (the owner), and was very impressed with his teaching style.
I’ve met a few of the other instructors, and all seem very dedicated to their music and passion to teach. I recommend this place to any musician I meet, and am happy to have this in the Belmont Shore Community!
