Why give?

  • Help Provide Quality Gear for Students
    Not every student starts with the right tools. Your support helps supply practice pads, sticks, and gear so students can learn comfortably from day one.

  • Build a Dedicated Teaching Space
    I'm working toward creating a small studio for recording custom tracks, hosting online lessons, and offering more flexible learning options.

  • Expand Free Educational Resources
    I aim to share more free video tips, warmups, and printable practice tools — and your support helps make that possible.

  • Support Local Music Education
    Every contribution helps keep music alive in the South Bay community by giving students direct access to passionate, one-on-one instruction.

  • Fuel Passion, Not Just Profit
    This isn't about selling a product — it's about growing a movement of confidence-building, creativity-sparking music education.

  • You're Supporting a Real Teacher, Not a Corporation
    When you give here, it goes directly to an independent teacher building a grassroots business from scratch — and every bit matters.

David Montoya teaching an in-home drum lesson to a student in the South Bay area

“My kids have been working with David (drums) and Laura (guitar). Both teachers have been wonderful and know how to engage kids and meet them where they're at. David has been especially supportive, always checking in and offering to send follow up tips and videos to help with practicing. He's really become part of the family. You can't go wrong with this music school. They have top notch quality teachers!”

Drum instructor David Montoya, offering in-home drum lessons throughout Palos Verdes and surrounding cities

“From the moment we signed our daughter up for drum lessons, David was super communicative and engaging. He went above and beyond to suggest drum kit options, a lesson book she would be referencing in class, and scheduled us in when we couldn't make it to our regular class time. David's teaching style is very approachable for students, especially younger ones (our daughter is 7). His classes aren't just about learning how to play drums; they are a holistic approach to the appreciation of music! They are an all-encompassing experience of learning how to read music with practical application on a percussive instrument while also giving the student the freedom and space to just rock out and let loose! He is demonstrative, positive, and a joy to have as a teacher. Thank you David for being an inspiration to our daughter!”
