Private Music, Voice & Acting Lessons LA

At SunPath, I offer private lessons in guitar, voice, and acting, designed to support you wherever you are in your artistic journey — beginner, intermediate, or pro. Every student is different, which is why each lesson is tailored to your specific goals, strengths, and creative passions.

Whether you want to learn your favorite songs, improve your voice, prepare for an audition, or just perform with more confidence, we’ll focus on the tools and mindset that help you thrive — in the studio, on stage, or in life.

Lessons are available in 30, 60, 90, or 120-minute formats, depending on your goals and budget. All students who sign up for a month in advance receive free access to my monthly Performance Workshop — a $300 value — for guided practice and live feedback in front of peers.

Guitar is more than technique — it’s expression. I’ll help you demystify the instrument and unlock the nuances that make great guitarists unforgettable. Whether you’re just starting out or looking to refine your sound, you’ll learn to play with heart, ear, and purpose.

You’ll learn:

How to play your favorite songs — and write your own
Music theory: chords, scales, modes, arpeggios
Riffs, solos, and improvisation techniques
Performance skills, including singing and playing simultaneously
Flat picking, fingerpicking, and hybrid styles
Songwriting and arranging
How to build your ear and play by feel

“Sam introduced me to the world of music performance as a gift… I’ve been getting a lot of compliments on how much I’ve grown as a musician and I know that’s thanks to his teachings.” — Natasha Perez

Singing isn’t magic — it’s a skill anyone can develop with the right technique. I’ve worked with hundreds of students to uncover their voices and strengthen their tone, stamina, and confidence. Whether you’re a total beginner or a working vocalist, we’ll focus on breath, placement, control, and performance.

You’ll learn:

Breath support and diaphragm technique
Voice placement in the “mask”
Phonetic control and vowel shaping
Range expansion and tone work
Ear training and pitch accuracy
Emotional connection and lyric interpretation
Audience connection and live performance prep

“I actually had NO IDEA that I had a singing voice when I started with Sam. But now I can sing!! My experience has changed my life for the better.” — Leonore Dunn
“Sam uses simple concepts to help you achieve a big, vibrant tone, and intense exercises to increase stamina and improve intonation.” — Jeff Turmes — jeffturmes.com

Acting is about truth, presence, and bold choices. I’ve been coaching actors and directing workshops for over 20 years. My training includes 8 years of formal study in acting and directing, and I’m a graduate of the Lee Strasberg Institute. Whether you're new to the craft or preparing for a film role, we’ll build your confidence and ability through scene work, character creation, and personal connection.

You’ll learn:

Scene and monologue analysis
Relaxation and truth in performance
How to build a character from the inside out
Emotional recall and behavior work
Listening and reacting with authenticity
Improvisation and movement
Tools for on-camera and stage performance

“Sam is really knowledgeable about acting technique and how to break down and analyze scenes… He’s super creative and personalizes everything based on your skill level. I’ve grown so much.” — Katherine Walker

“Sam reminded me of those days I used to study at the Lee Strasberg Institute… You’ll be surprised at what you’re capable of.” — Natasha Perez

What sets SunPath apart isn’t just the content — it’s the approach. My lessons are focused, compassionate, and results-driven. I listen carefully, adapt constantly, and support each student on their creative path with honesty and care.

A mix of artistic freedom and technical coaching
Fun, rewarding, and transformative
