See JOMA lifeWho we are
A neighborhood music school with a very simple idea.
Learning should feel like making music. JOMA is personal, hands-on and built around the student in front of the teacher — whether that student is six, sixteen or sixty.
Makinto and Garth outside JOMA. In July 2025, the school entered a new chapter in ownership while keeping its small, personal South Bay character.
How lessons feelRegistration
Build the right lesson request.
01
Tell us who the lesson is for, every instrument that sounds interesting, and the starting level.
02
See one clear recommendation first — with only a couple of real alternatives.
03
Add scheduling and contact details after the lesson direction is already clear.
Your progress saves automatically on this device. You can leave and come back without starting over.
Step 1 of 9
Who are we finding lessons for?
First, the basics
Who is the student?
We use age only to filter out options that do not fit. You will not have to understand JOMA's program names.
JOMA's previous registration form collected date of birth. Here we use it immediately to avoid showing age-inappropriate programs.
Interest first
What sounds interesting?
Pick as many as you want. This is intentionally not a commitment — it helps JOMA see the real range of interest.
+ More instruments
Most excited about one? Optional — this simply leads the recommendation.
Starting point
Where are they starting?
Choose the closest answer. If they have played before, we will ask for the approximate years so Garth has the same information the old form collected.
years
Learning with a sibling or friend?
Tandem only makes sense when there is actually another similar-age beginner to learn beside.
Your best starting point
We narrowed it down for you.
One option is intentionally bigger. That is JOMA's best-fit starting point from what you told us — not six equal decisions.
Other good options
See the wider JOMA program menu
Music orientation for younger children: percussion, singing, games and instrument exploration.
Beginner and continuing group paths have been offered for children, youth and adults.
Young beginners split an individual 30-minute lesson between drums/percussion and piano.
Group playing for students whose age and experience fit the ensemble.
These have appeared in JOMA's prior seasonal course registration. Current availability is confirmed by JOMA.
Two similar-age beginners learn the same instrument and curriculum together.
Already asking about a specific JOMA course?
The previous form used a single-choice course question. Pick one only if you already know the name; JOMA will confirm whether it is currently offered.
Make it practical
How should this lesson work?
We only show the delivery and price choices that apply to the path you chose.

When would lessons realistically work?
Pick every window that could work. These are preferences, not a guaranteed schedule.
Now the useful details
Tell JOMA who they're matching.
We waited until now to ask for the information the old registration form needed. Your lesson direction is already figured out.
OptionalHelp the teacher make lesson one feel familiar.
This was a useful question in the old form.Where should JOMA reply?
Contact details.
The old form asked for both email and telephone. Keeping both gives Garth a clean way to follow up personally.
One last look
Here's what JOMA will receive.
The boring information appears only now, when it matters.
Your request is complete.
Save it here, then JOMA can follow up personally.
Request ready
That's everything JOMA needs.
The JOMA method
Your teacher plays with you.
JOMA’s instructors work as player-coaches. They often pick up their own instruments and play alongside students, so even a handful of beginner notes can feel like real music right away.

The school is more than the lesson room.
Real students, performances, online lessons, the new Redondo Beach location and a little bit of JOMA history.
