Brooklyn’s Conservatory of Music
welcomed the beautiful melodies to flow through its doors ten years ago. We began our musical passage with piano lessons. A few years after, we were privileged to introduce violin, cello, and voice lessons. Our insightful instructors aide you to sight read music and how to apply proper techniques. In addition, all students will participate in a Summer and Fall recital.

Alex Curry
Alex is first and foremost a lover of music; he seeks out new music every day. He started his 4th year with the Ventura College chamber ensemble, having played the piano since the age of 10.
He performs works by Mozart, Verdi, Mendelssohn (as well as contemporary composers like Marquez and Lawson) with the VC Symphony Orchestra, under the direction of Dr. Ashley Walters. When he’s not practicing the same technique for hours at a time, he enjoys a strong cup of coffee. And another… and a few more after that.
Teaching is very meaningful to Alex, as he believes teaching fulfills a key role in understanding one’s thought process. “While we teach, we learn,” said the Roman philosopher Seneca, and Alex is always looking for more to teach and more to learn. He is on a constant journey of self-improvement, and is very excited to teach at Brooklyn’s Conservatory of Music.
Lily Marquez
Lily Marquez has been playing cello for ten years and is currently enrolled in the music program at Ventura College with plans to eventually transfer to a University.
Ever since Lily was a little girl, from the second she heard the deep rich dulcet tones of the cello, she immediately fell in love and knew this is what she wanted to pursue for her musical career. Lily’s main goal as a music teacher is to enable her students to build their own confidence in themselves and to show them the beauty of music and how one can really express themselves in and through the art of music.
Nicole Kane
I teach the foundation of the violin and viola from the ground up. I make sure the fingerboard is simplified and have come up with my own lesson plans to get my students to understand classical violin and viola music.
I am all about teaching correct technique and ear building through scales and exercises. I make learning fun and find fun ways to incorporate the new and the old music so there is a complete, well-rounded understanding of what you are learning. I have seen a beginner turn into an advanced student quickly with practice, dedication, and the eagerness to learn.
I was born to be a teacher and a musician. 31 years later, I have various experiences under my belt as a student, teacher, and performer. For the past fifteen years, I have had my business teaching violin and viola in my music studio at home. I have had a variety of students of all ages with different musical backgrounds and experiences. I teach in the local middle schools here in Southern California as an independent contractor. I help the orchestra classes at Cabrillo, Balboa, Anacapa Middle School, and Ventura High.
Not only am I a teacher, I am also a performer! I currently play for private events, big events, and various venues in Ventura, Ca. I have had the opportunity to play with a variety of different bands and DJs. I play anything from classical to blues, to rock, and now dabbling in the electronic realm of sound and strings.Teaching an instrument and watching someone learn it and turn it into something extraordinary in a short time, is one of the most rewarding experiences as a teacher. Music is a universal language that all can enjoy!
In each lesson the student is taught sight reading, music theory, proper techniques, performance aspects and an opportunity twice a year to showcase their talents in our recital.
Typically, tuition is due monthly and in advance for the next month on the last paid lesson of each month. Please ask your instructor for their specific lesson policy concerning tuition, prices per half hour, hour, and 45 minutes, cancellation, and other matters.
