California Music Academy is the leading music school for children in the Conejo Valley. Our music education program focuses on the most popular musical instruments: Piano, Singing, and Guitar

For almost 20 years, we ran the largest and oldest “brick and mortar” music school in the Conejo Valley. However, to ensure the safety of our students in the Covid-19 era, we have transitioned to private In-Home lessons and Live Virtual lessons. We continue to focus on serving the Conejo Valley community, including Calabasas, Westlake Village, Thousand Oaks, Agoura Hills, Oak Park, and Newbury Park.

We have many students who take singing lessons either by itself or simultaneously with instrumental music lessons. Students sing all kinds of music from their favorite artists to classical arias.

Just a sample of what a student will learn in singing lessons includes how to breathe properly, how to increase their range, proper pitch, how to project and stage presence.

Guitar Lessons

Our guitar lessons include acoustic, electric and bass guitar. We have an excellent guitar teaching staff and teach guitar lessons in many styles including rock to jazz, classical, pop, Spanish and chording. All of our teachers perform in bands, work in recording studios or are active composers. Our guitar teachers have university music degrees so they know how to teach the proper theory and technique no matter if a student is interested in metal or in classical. Typically a student would be 6 years old before starting guitar lessons, due to their hand size, but some younger students start with a junior-sized guitar. Our private guitar lessons are one-on-one instruction and lesson lengths are 30 minutes, 45 minutes or 1 hour.

Westlake Village
Drums

We offer a wide variety of drum lessons or percussion lessons. Most of our students learn on drum kit. We have both male and female students and typically do not start drum lessons before the age 8 as students need to be able to reach both the pedal and the cymbals. We do have some younger students but suggest they come in for a trial drum lesson to see if they are big enough to get started. Drum lessons are taught on a drum kit in our studios but students can get started practicing at home on practice pads before purchasing or renting a drum kit. Our drums lessons stress proper technique so students become good drummers quickly. Our drum instructors have university or college training and are active performers. Private drum lessons are available in 30 minute, 45 minute and 1-hour lengths.

Lena Gold, Music Director

Piano & Voice Teacher

Lena Gold founded California Music Academy 17 years ago, following many years of a successful career as a performing musician around the world. 

Teaching music to children started as a hobby and turned into a visionary service that enriched the lives of thousands of children and their families. 

Lena is happily married for 30 years and has five children. Surprisingly, all five of them agreed to follow their mom’s advice and ended up playing multiple instruments, just for the fun of it… 

Lena is proud of the fact that although none of them became a professional musician, they all benefited tremendously from the intellectual and personal confidence that is associated with learning music for years. Her children ended up attending top colleges such as the University of Chicago, Vanderbilt University, UC Berkeley and NYU Law, and are now enjoying playing music on their free time.   
At the Music Academy, Lena has developed an amazing team of talented music teachers, who are devoted to spreading their knowledge and love of music to the next generation. Lena is teaching at the Music Academy in Westlake Village and is personally involved in developing the studio’s curriculum along with her team members.
