Studying music in-home is a private, convenient, comprehensive, and engaging way to learn how to play a musical instrument, but sharing this experience with others – friends, family, and even strangers – is priceless. This is why SoundLife Music Academy creates our fully immersive Performance Program. This is also why we encourage parents, students, and friends to share our blog and newsletter to help create an ongoing musical conversation!
SoundLife Music Academy offers our monthly newsletter for free, as well as weekly blogs! All you need to do is submit your email address below, and we'll take care of the rest. As an in-home music lesson provider, it is important for us to create a sense of community by sharing helpful, relevant information, as well as sharing the successes of our amazing students. Each issue includes a feature story that discusses helpful tips regarding a variety of subjects related to taking music lessons. We will also discuss upcoming local concerts in Los Angeles, company news and events, teacher performances, and student activities. A student of the month is selected for each issue to share the work that he or she is doing in and outside of music lessons.

Musicians speak their own language...like lawyers, accountants, schoolteachers, and every other profession. Language doesn't just mean quarter notes and treble clefs. The language of music is rich with inside jokes, folklore, and elaborate tales of mythic proportions as well.
