Greetings, all!
I have a student who is moving to L.A., and I'd like to send his parents with information on a few teachers there so he can continue his studies. He is entering sixth grade, but has been playing for a couple years already and is performing at an eighth or early ninth grade level. He is very bright and pleasant, but also shy.
Recommendations of qualified, personable, reasonably-priced teachers?
Thanks!

Where in L.A.? I know a bunch (myself included, though I'm way in the outskirts) at different spots over the 80ish mile diameter of the area. Can contact me offline if you like.

Lea Steffens would be my first choice near Irvine (Tustin). I took lessons from her a few years back; great teacher, students from middle school to college level, reasonable rates. I'm out of touch, don't know her current situation or contact info, but worth checking to see if she's available.
Looks like she teaches at Chapman now: http://www.chapman.edu/music/faculty/PT/steffens.asp You could start there, though sometimes people don't check college contacts too often, especially during summer. The music department could probably tell you if she's taking students and/or give summer contact info.
I'm still borderline-in-touch with a bunch of people who I think are in the area, but would have to ask around to see who's giving lessons these days. I think Margaret Thornhill teaches at Concordia, though I don't know if she takes outside students in the area as she's based in L.A.
