About
Made By Maam Studio offers private piano and music production lessons in Los Angeles — in person in the Mid-Wilshire area and online. The approach here is analytical: students learn how music is structured, not just what to play. When the logic becomes clear, the instrument stops feeling random. Students develop ear training, harmonic understanding, rhythmic precision, and the ability to break down unfamiliar music independently. The goal is not recital readiness — it’s musical autonomy. Serving teens, adults, producers, and returning musicians. Berklee-trained instructor with professional credits in film scoring and composition. Serving Mid-Wilshire, Hancock Park, Koreatown, Miracle Mile, and surrounding Los Angeles neighborhoods.

I’ve only just begun working with Marcus, but I really appreciated him taking the time to talk with me about what to expect from lessons and to share some wisdom about music and the music business. He’s very quick to respond, and his lessons take place in person, which is a huge plus. I’m very excited to continue learning from him, and I would recommend him to anyone looking to grow in their skills as a pianist or musician at any level.

Marcus is an incredible teacher with a patient and effective teaching method. In a couple lessons I’m starting to have more fun playing piano than I ever have. His way of teaching creates simple practices, that are not overwhelming, and quickly add up to bigger breakthroughs in your playing and understanding of music.

FAQs

  • What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?

    I studied film composition and was a drum principal at Berklee College of Music. I play piano, organ, drums, and also sing. I have a diversity of experience in music, doing everything from teaching to music production to being a sound engineer for major artists.

  • What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?

    Look for someone who’s passionate about music, relatable, and most importantly culturally relevant. I can’t tell you how many parents say to me they don’t play piano anymore, because they were forced to learn music that wasn’t relevant or already apart of the their world. My students are excited to learn and practice, because we’re learning and playing music they’re interested in and that makes all the difference!
