A teacher your kid will actually want to see.
One-on-one with Lewis at his Summerlin studio. Real songs they love, real progress they can hear, and a week-by-week plan that doesn’t depend on whether they felt inspired. Every dollar back if they’re not lit up by lesson three.
A real kid · A real parent
Nine years old. Six songs in three months.
“He’s been so encouraging and supportive — an amazing teacher.”
— A current student’s parent
Joaquin started three months ago. No prior music training. Today he’s learned six songs end-to-end, can read enough music to follow Lewis through new material, and is starting to write his own. Most weeks he asks when his next lesson is — not the other way around.
Why this works for kids
Built around the way they actually learn.
Most kids quit music lessons within a year. The two reasons, in order: the songs feel like homework, and nothing concrete ever happens. Both fixable.
01 — Real songs
Songs they actually want to sing.
Your kid picks. We work toward songs they love — pop, musical theatre, the soundtrack of whatever they're obsessed with this month. The technique comes through the music, not in spite of it.
02 — Real milestones
Something to show, not a sticker.
Every Season ends in a tangible artifact. A song they finished. A recording cut in the studio. A performance they can play for grandma. We don't hand out participation certificates.
03 — Real teaching
Lewis isn't a moonlighter.
Working music producer (credits include GloRilla, Brandon Jamar Scott), recording artist, and Mason Gross / Rutgers music graduate. Your kid is being taught by someone who does this for a living, not someone padding their schedule.
The honest questions
What you’re actually wondering.
The four things parents ask before signing their kid up. No hedging.
What if my kid gets bored?
Most music lessons are open-ended. Show up, sing for half an hour, go home, repeat. That's the failure state. Every LilyPad week has a goal, a song they're working, and a small wins log they can see. Boredom is what we designed against.
What if they don't click with the teacher?
Lewis personally promises: if your kid isn't visibly engaged AND showing real progress by their third paid lesson, every dollar back. He'll also try to connect you with another Vegas teacher who might be a better fit. You can't lose money finding out.
What if they aren't “talented enough”?
Almost nobody is, at nine. Talent is the name people give to the result of consistent practice with good feedback. Your kid gets the second part here. The first part takes ten focused minutes a day at home.
What if our schedule won't work?
Lessons happen at Lewis's Summerlin home studio or in-home anywhere in the Vegas valley (+$25/lesson). Weekday afternoons after school and Saturday mornings are the most-booked windows. Reach out and we'll find something.
The shape of a lesson
What forty-five minutes actually looks like.
Parents are welcome to watch from the back of the studio. Most kids settle in within their second lesson.
- 10 min
Warm up & breath
Quick check-in, a few warm-ups that don't feel like homework, and breathing work that runs underneath everything else.
- 25 min
Work the song
The piece they picked. Lewis breaks it into the parts that are actually hard, then puts it back together. By the end of the session, one thing sounds noticeably different than it did when they walked in.

Send-off + practice plan
What to work on this week, written down. A small ear-training game. A win to remember. They leave with momentum, not assignments.

The promise
Three lessons to know.
If your kid isn’t visibly engaged and showing real progress by the end of their third paid lesson, I’ll refund every dollar. No paperwork, no hard feelings.
And I’ll personally try to connect you with another Vegas voice teacher who might be a better fit. The point is your kid finds the right teacher — whether that’s me or not.
