Artist-Teachers
Fostering Passion
Within our exceptional teaching team, you’ll find passionate artists who actively compose and perform their own music. Their creative backgrounds infuse our school with a contagious energy, inspiring students to explore different learning styles and even try new instruments.
We believe that learning to play music is a highly personal experience and shouldn’t feel like repetitive or uninspired work. Therefore, we are committed to teaching each student the music they truly love and are inspired to learn. Passion and purpose are required to fan the flames of long-term musical growth.
Whether your goals are professional or not, we aim to develop natural and efficient technical habits while adapting to the unique and ever expanding learning styles of each student. We believe in the stress and anxiety reducing benefits of a positively guided musical journey.
Through our personalized and adaptable teaching methods, we break barriers and put your dream to learn music within reach!
Great place to learn guitarVery flexible and readable costI have been for 2 yrs having amazing teacher Andrew , started from scratchYou just feel at home.Love it.
I’ve been taking Bass classes with Tim and I can say he’s the best Bass teacher I’ve ever had. He pays attention to how I learn, and explains everything in detail.I’m very busy, and it’s been hard to find the time to practice, but Tim’s style of teaching is in a way that’s made me want to practice everyday.
Love my musical journey with guitar teacher Kelly Brown. He clearly sees what I need to work on, always has a lesson at hand to fit my abilities and has given me many insights and AhHa musical moments!
After almost three months taking classes, I am proud to say that I have noticed progress in my learning process and it inspires me to continue, not only have I found excellent instructors but also a group of people eager to help and always attentive to any requirements that their students may have. ,
I have had very positive experience so far at Horizon. Upon sign up the team took time and effort to understand my need and offered suggestions for multiple teachers. They were open, kind ,caring and not pushy at all. There were a lot of communication back and forth and made me feel heard and they also acknowledged my effort to start learning something new which gave me a lot of confidence going in my first class.I got matched with Ricky who is my drumming teacher. I had a WONDERFUL first class! I went in a bit nervous but was impressed by Ricky's passion for drumming, honesty and openness. He is also fun and knowledgeable. I had a lot of questions and English is not my first language but he was very patient and eager to answer them and understand me. I bought my first drum kit after the class coz i was so exited to start practicing. I will be continuing classes at Horizon for sure :DSo If you are looking to start learning music. I highly recommend horizon and Ricky if you are looking into drumming. Whatever need you have I'm sure they will make you feel heard and let you take things at your own pace!
I have learned guitar with Kelly for two years. Kelly is a talented musician and the best teacher I can imagine. I’m surprised how much progress I made in two years. Kelly broke down all the difficulties into small goals. With his step by step guidance, both theory and technique were covered. He will always find the pieces I’m interested in and fit my skill.Kelly also organized group lessons once a month. It’s very different experience from private lessons. Learning playing guitar with others is enjoyable and helpful.
Anyone who thinks that they can learn music from an online course has never experienced the magic of learning from Kelly Brown. He has a sixth sense... he just seems to know exactly what you need to advance to the next level, and then he pulls just the right tool or bit of knowledge out of the vast library that lives in his head. And as a coach, he pushes you just the right amount with patience and kindness. I always leave my lessons with a feeling of gratitude for his time and excitement to go home and try the new things I discovered.
I have been learning piano at Horizon music school for about 5 months now and I am so grateful for my teacher Dominique who is so patient, kind and a wonderful teacher. It’s so hard to learn when you are an adult and it’s even incredibly difficult to find a teacher who you love and enjoy learning from . I am so lucky Dominique is so supportive and encouraging on my journey to learn piano and helping me every step of the way. Everyone needs a teacher like Dominique in their lives. 11/10 recommended. So grateful
I have been taking lessons with Andrew Balboa for over two years. Andrew is a phenomenal music instructor - patient, kind, knowledgeable and passionate. He's like a musical mother duck, taking care of all his musical ducklings. I strongly recommend taking lessons with Andrew.
Andrew is an amazing teacher whether voice, piano or guitar. He has lived experience as a performer and is an intuitive and inspiring teacher. He is extremely supportive, humorous and has some cool tricks to get you moving forward in your learning. So glad I have the opportunity to learn with him and to be a part of the Horizon community
Learning drums at 37 with little practice time isn't easy, but Julia Geaman makes it so enjoyable! She's super fun and knows her stuff inside out. Even with my hectic schedule, I've been seeing real progress every class. Highly recommend her to anyone wanting to learn, no matter their age! Thanks, Julia❤️ Thanks Horizon!
We have been taking weekly vocal lessons from Rocky Riobo at Horizon for over a year now. She is an excellent instructor and highly skilled professional musician. We have greatly enjoyed our lessons with her, and have noticed significant gains in our confidence and ability as a result.Horizon also puts great effort into hosting events and workshops to supplement individual lessons, such as group jam nights, student concerts, and weekly choir (also taught by Rocky!). These events really help connect the school into a larger community, and offer opportunities to explore musical skills in new ways.
What a wonderful place! Kris has great leadership across the studio. Mojo is continually helpful with any of our questions. Monique consistently helps us with scheduling needs. And then the teachers... amazing! Our kids initially had lessons with Rocky (piano) - she was a gift. Now we are with Ricky (drums) and Danny (guitar) - they are very talented musicians and inspiring to our kids with low pressure and high quality instruction. So much that our kids are not complaining about practicing!?!
Both my kids have been learning music (ukulele, piano & vocal) from Rocky Riobo for like 2 years. Rocky is an amazing musician who could play multiple instruments and has an amazing voice! She has great energy and always cheerful. She listens and guides my kids, and very flexible, meaning my kids are having fun learning music!! Music should be fun, and I am very thankful that I have Rocky as my kids’ teacher.As of the Horizon School of Music, the owner, Kris Schulz, and his management team are great. Kris helped me to pair up with Rocky after learning what I am looking for. The match was a success! They have other group lessons and sessions for teenagers and grown up, and yearly students concert allowing students to shine and experience their possibilities. I could feel teachers at the school have passion in music, and teaching music. I highly recommend this music school.
