Meet Our Instructors
Head Saxophone and Ukelele Instructor
Hello! My name is Bria Stocker and I am a senior at Santa Monica High School. I am currently in the Wind Ensemble (top Concert band) and top Jazz band at my school. I have had a wide variety of music experiences from touring across Rome to perform in concerts to volunteering in my hometown at the Santa Monica Youth Orchestra. I am also the co-founder of a school club called Music Mentors. We play music at local events and senior homes to raise money for music education in our local public schools. I give lessons for the alto saxophone and ukulele. I design each lesson I offer according to my students’ abilities, and make the necessary changes once I become more familiar with their needs. If you are ready to take your musical abilities to the next level don't hesitate to shoot me a message!
