Welcome Our New Instructors!

Ms. Loukwha
Piano/Guitar/Ukulele

Ms. Loukwha has been teaching music lessons for over 10 years after graduating with a Major in Music in Thailand in 2008. Since moving to Seattle, she has discovered a love for teaching music not only to adults but also with younger students as well. She wrote a teaching curriculum, taught music, and conducted several concerts at TLC Montessori school in Sammamish, Washington. She continued to pursue her love of teaching all ages when she moved to Oahu, HI in 2016. While there, she was happy to be involved in music education as she operated a music camp for early childhood students and worked as an elementary school music teacher.

When she wasn’t teaching in Hawaii, Ms. Loukwha spent her time off exploring and enjoying the ocean, hiking, and photographing. Now living in Gig Harbor with her husband and their dog, she is glad to be back and feels at home here. Her goal is to make music lessons fun for every student. Seeing her students grow with music keeps her passionate about teaching!

Ask a Cappella Teacher!

Mr. Andrew
Guitar/Bass/Ukulele/Piano

What is your first musical memory?

I remember watching my dad play the electric guitar and I thought it was magic. I was in love with the instrument ever since that moment.

What inspired you to become a music teacher?

I enjoy being a part of a process where someone learns their potential, sets goals, and works towards those goal. I enjoy seeing people who are passionate about something, and music happens to be an art that demands the passion.

What practice tips and tricks do you have for Cappella Academy students?

I like to remind my students that there is a lot of work that goes into becoming a good musician. Since that can cause some stress, it is always important to enjoy the fun and creative side of music. Take a break from scales, site reading, and theory, and write a song, create a chord progression, or just get creative with it.

What is the one thing you want your students to take away from their lessons with you?

Of course I hope that my students grow musically, but I also hope that my lessons bring discipline and passion into their everyday lives. Even if they don’t continue to play music into their later years, they will know the commitment and discipline it takes to achieve any goal.

Cappella History Corner

How did Cappella Academy get started?

Cappella Music Academy was originally founded over 20 years ago, when Brittany Bennett, founder and CEO, began offering private piano and voice lessons from a small, private home studio in 1998. In 2015, Ms. Bennett, along with her husband, Daniel Bennett, had the vision of creating a space where all members of the community could participate and take lessons in every aspect of music and instrumentation on a wide range of instruments, regardless of their prior musical experience and background.

Today, Cappella Music Academy has a student base of several hundred individuals of all ages and skill levels learning piano, guitar, bass, drums, ukulele, cello, violin, viola, flute, piccolo, cello, voice and more. It continues to be Daniel and Brittany Bennett’s mission to equip students of all ages and backgrounds with the highest caliber of musical education and they have remained committed to this vision to date. Their unrelenting purpose of equipping unique and creative musicians has been the pillar of strength for Cappella Music Academy’s success.
