Meet Elben
Elben Capule is a musician based out of Irvine, CA. His multifaceted career is a testament to the breed of musician that Elben represents. He maintains an active schedule as a pianist for Santa Ana Unified School District, Community Presbyterian Church of La Mirada, and the La Mirada Symphony. His home studio Capule Creative hosts a wide variety of students, all with the same goal in mind: the pursuit of excellence through music.
Elben completed his Master of Music degree at California State University Fullerton in 2012 and his Bachelor of Music at Pacific Union College in 2009, both as a scholarship recipient and with an emphasis in Piano Performance. His primary professors during his studies were Eduardo Delgado at CSUF and Dr. Lynn Wheeler at PUC.
Elben is regularly commended for his work as an artist that is able to transcend and collaborate with other areas of the arts. He has participated in multiple festivals and workshops including but not limited to: Music Fest Perugia, The Jascha Heifitz Symposium for Personal Style, and The Joffrey Institute. Elben has formerly held positions with the Waldorf School, Pacific Ballet Conservatory, and the Huntington Beach Music & Art School. You can find his recordings on all major music platforms under Amnesia Beach and Elben– selections of his recordings have been featured in Hollister and Sony stores worldwide.
When Elben’s not fine tuning his craft or creating new material, you can find him surfing, skiing, or traveling. While most of his peers revel in music competitions and titles, Elben is constantly looking for new ways to expand his musical horizons and develop as an artist; while collecting titles of his own, they have never been his primary objective. Well-traveled, compassionate, and well-versed in all things music, fashion, and culture his experiences go well beyond piano and add to his unique artistry. Those that work with Elben find that what he brings to the table is more than just music, but a mindset of going against the grain and developing their own unique artistic voice.
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."
