Stephanie Weisz
About
Hi! I'm Steph - a Los Angeles-based singer/songwriter, performer, and music educator originally from New Jersey. A graduate of Berklee College of Music with a degree in Interdisciplinary Music Studies, I bring a well-rounded, real-world approach to teaching music—one that prioritizes creativity, intuition, and self-expression.
In addition to my academic background, I've spent the past several years performing at renowned venues including Central Park's SummerStage, The Stone Pony, Hotel Cafe, and Mercury Lounge, while steadily building my artist project "Goldie Scott" and growing an online fan base. My original music has been featured in national Bose advertising campaigns and Netflix’s hit show Selling Sunset, and I continue to independently release music on all major streaming platforms.
Alongside my career as an artist, I've also worked in music publishing (Reservoir Media) and have a first-hand understanding of the business side of the industry—knowledge I share with students who are interested in pursuing music professionally.
Teaching Style
With over a decade of experience as a vocalist, pianist, and guitarist, my teaching focuses on the art of songwriting and live performance. That being said, I tailor each lesson to the goals and needs of each student. My approach is uniquely intuitive rather than strictly classical, making my style especially effective for students who want to develop their voice as artists—not just as musicians. I believe in meeting each student where they are, creatively and emotionally, and guiding them toward building confidence, writing authentically, and performing with intention.
I am passionate about being the kind of teacher I wish I had when I was beginning my musical journey. My mission is to help students not only build technical skills, but also trust their instincts, find their voice, and bring their stories to life through music.
