Private Lessons & Coaches in Downey, CA

Pop. Rock. R&B. Jazz. Musical Theatre. And every song on the request list at one of the hottest piano bars in Los Angeles. I'm David Jayden Anthony — and before I tell you about my degrees, let me tell you about where I honed my skills as a commercial music performer: Tramp Stamp Granny's, Darren Criss' legendary North Hollywood piano bar. Every genre. Any song. Any key. On demand. That's the kind of real-world musical flexibility I bring into every lesson. My credentials: a Bachelor's in Songwriting & Music Production from Berklee College of Music (studying under Grammy Award-winning artists in lyric writing, composition, production, and mixing), and a Master's in Musical Theatre Writing from Berklee's NYC campus — where I studied with Broadway legends Lynn Ahrens, Stephen Flaherty, Adam Gwon, and Michael Starobin. Before Orange County School of the Arts had a commercial music program, I built one from scratch — teaching Pop, Rock, Jazz, and R&B, writing original arrangements, and directing concerts for audiences of 2,000+. My students call me 'The Auto-Mechanic of the Voice' — because I diagnose fast and fix faster. I make abstract vocal concepts tangible. I help you understand text and storytelling at a level that transforms your performances — not just your technique. Whether you're a pop singer pushing too hard, a musical theatre performer hunting for the perfect audition song, or a songwriter who wants to finally record something extraordinary, I will move you faster than you thought possible. YES — you can use acting and storytelling technique to create brilliant pop and commercial music performances. That's not a theory. That's what I teach, every session. Rapid results. Real technique. Commercial music first, Broadway when you need it. SuperCoach — Top 3% on TeachMe.to. 5.0 rating. 30 years of teaching, performing, music-directing, and writing. Let's get to work.

"David is my son's vocal coach. We first met David in a show that he was the musical director for and was so impressed with his musical talent and ability to teach that we begged him to instruct my son. We have been with David for over a year and have seen amazing improvement and technique in my son's vocal abilities. More than teaching the technical part of voice and singing, David has instilled in my son a confidence that is unmatched. My son will go to Broadway one day because of David's impression on his life and for that I will be eternally grateful. David is our best kept secret. I selfishly want to keep him to myself and not let the world know of his greatness, but here I am recommending him on Linked In because it's the right thing to do. I see great feats in David's future and one day I expect to see him with Tony in hand for music and lyric composition of some great Broadway musical, (that envitably my son will perform in). All joking aside, I truly believe this is where David is heading....Broadway greatness. And, I being one of his biggest fans will be cheering him on all the way.

Definitely worth trying if you're looking for tailored guidance and clear feedback.

I’m Goms . My specialty is turning “Wait, what do I do?” into “Oh wow, that actually went forward.” I teach brand new golfers because that’s where the best stories happen through the chaos of their first swings. The kids, the adults, and the brave souls who show up holding the club upside down. I live for the moment your swing finally behaves and we both look at each other like, “Did you see that?” If you’re curious about golf and ready to learn, mess up, and accidentally hit a perfect shot, I’m your coach. Worst case, we laugh. Best case, you crush it. Win-Win situation. Let’s gogoGolf !

Because of Toni's years of professional performing and great coaching style my son has gained confidence and techniques that he would not have had otherwise.

"The lesson with Ali was quite engaging, especially since my son loved learning about the layup technique, which he’s been eager to master. Though we still hope to tackle mid-range shots next, I appreciate how Ali clearly explains fundamentals without rushing through. It’s quite helpful and, honestly, still leaves room for us to build further skills. Still, if you're looking for a coach who can balance instruction and patience, trying a lesson with Ali could be worth it.
