Testimonials
"Mr. Capule has outstanding reading ability and superb musical sensitivity. He seems to know what I want to do with a phrase before I do. He is an absolute joy to work with!"
-Joan Cain
Flutist, Soprano, Manager/Contractor at La Mirada Symphony
"One of the joys of retirement was my plan to relearn the piano. I soon found that waiting 50 years is too long to try it alone. Elben has been a joy to work with. He is patient, explains music concepts and technique so that I comprehend much more than I did when I was young. I am finding new ways to enjoy each day, playing old favorites and learning new music. I highly recommend Elben as a wonderful piano teacher."
-Susan Little
Student
"Elben is a talented musician! I have worked with him on more than 20 weddings and he has always been able to make the bride and groom happy with the choices of music for the ceremony. He has played many weddings where he did not speak the language being spoken at the wedding and has also worked with musicians that he met a few minutes before the wedding and still been able to play with excellence. He can play the piano and the organ with equal ability. He'll do a great job for you."
