Best Drum schools in United States

Hi - I take piano classes at new city school of music and have the best teacher Steve Malski! He has so much patience and is so much fun to learn with. I study piano and vocals with Steve.

Lexie is my voice teacher at New City School Of Music, and is absolutely amazing. She has taught me and helped me grow in so many ways and I am so grateful to have her as my teacher. This school is absolutely amazing and I definitely recommend it to anyone who is thinking about growing their skills in music.

We have been coming here for years and absolutely love this school! Jeanette and Laura are so kind, pleasant, helpful, and fun to talk to while waiting for my children in the lobby. My boys work with Steve and Juan, my daughter learns from Merecco, and I have the pleasure of taking lessons with Hunter. Learning music has really enriched our lives and has brought a lot of joy into our home. All of the teachers are dedicated, talented, skilled and patient. The twice a year recitals are a lot of fun too and give us all something to strive for. Definitely recommend!

Great school! Friendly and helpful staff. My son took couple of years of piano with Steve and now switched to guitar with Hunter. Can't say thank you enough to both! My son isn't the easiest student. The teachers did an amazing job making it to work for him!

Thank you to Ms. Querube Gonzalez for the most phenomenal and supportive lessons over the last 7 years. Our daughter is thriving under your tutelage. We love and appreciate you so much. We would also like to extend our gratitude to Mr. Recco for his patience, caring and free flowing techniques that allow our smallest daughter the opportunity to succeed on the piano. He his a fantastic musician and human being and we are grateful to have him as a teacher.

My daughter has been singing with Lexie for a year and she has improved so much. Lexie is great and has amazing patience and skills. I will continue to go there as long as they want my daughter

Mr. Merecco is amazing. My daughter has learned so much after joining his classes. She enjoys her piano lessons. Besides being a great instructor he’s also very caring.
Thank you Mr.Merecco!

My daughter has been begging for voice lessons for a while and after participating in a school musical, she was hooked and that’s when we found the music box. She was nervous but her voice instructor Dana was welcoming, energetic, and exactly what she needed. We signed up after our trial class and we are excited to watch her develop her talent and love for singing. We live in Collierville but this studio is worth the drive!

My son loves every experience & interaction he has at Music Box Germantown! The staff and atmosphere are nothing but creative, fun, welcoming, and helpful. My sister and I enjoyed meeting Yolanda. Thank you Music Box! That smile says it all.

Love, Love, Love everything about the Music Box! Then owners, the teachers, the supportive performance showcase environment- all of it is top notch! Our son was reading music and performing in his first showcase in a few weeks. I would recommend the Music Box again and again!! What a treasure in Germantown ♥️

My 7 yr. old is enjoying new friendships in the group piano lessons as she develops her skills within the 3 months she has been a student at the Music Box

My daughter is a student at the School Of Rock, Short Pump. The staff at the school are wonderful! The method they use to teach the students is engaging and brings the fun back to the creative process. It’s also a great way to meet other kids that love music.🎶

We enjoyed our classes while we were here but I signed my son up for drum lessons and they strongly advised to do a mix of piano (which I understand) and drums. This turned into my son rarely getting to play drums at his lessons or a drum room not even being available during his lesson time. He is 4 so I'm just interested in exposure and keeping his interest in music peaked. The time frame of 4pm on Sundays was clearly a bad time for my family to always make it to lessons as well as the teacher and ultimately lead to us canceling our lessons with the school. But we still ended up being charged for our next month enough though we gave proper notice. With multiple email conversations back and forth with Jessi about making sure we got our refund asap to making sure we got a confirmation number ended up into me having to dispute the charge with my bank and canceling my card due to them not refunding the money back after multiple touch points on the situation.

It gives my kids and me a safe place to feel like rock stars!

It’s been a wonderful experience at MusicBox, and I cannot express enough gratitude towards Yelena and Alex for their exceptional organization and friendliness. My son has thoroughly enjoyed his drum lessons with Dwight, who is not only a creative teacher but also incredibly supportive. We are genuinely going to miss being a part of this amazing music school.

Drum teacher Stan seem to have problem teaching 6-year old kids. He always let us go 5-10 mins early and never shared notes to help us practice at home. Maybe other teachers will work better with smaller kids. The front desk and manager seems to be okay though.

I have truly enjoyed the watercolor and sewing classes! The instructors are very qualified and classes are small enough for plenty of personal interaction.

We couldn't be more delighted with Copper Hills CFTA. Every instructor we've had is top-notch, from theater camps, to dance lessons, to art classes, to special effects makeup, to photography. The care and concern the teachers and center director, Ms. Cathy, impart on their students is unmatched. We have watched our kiddos grow in self-confidence, discipline, and life skills because of Copper Hills Arts! We couldn't be more thankful to have this wonderful center located in North Peoria--it is truly a place of joy, learning, and creativity!

My child has started learning the electric guitar, and he attends the classes with great enthusiasm. I can see progress in his skills.

All of the employees, especially Emma, are great and incredibly helpful. We appreciate all of the staff School of Rock.

I am very satisfied that my child run to class) love the teacher, school and the approach for teaching)

Great classes and great instructors. The programs were easy for a beginner to step in to. My son has really come out of his shy shell with the help of the class setting and individual lessons. He's taken to learning music and is progressing great under the tutelage of the staff.

Everything! We like everything at S of R Short Pump. You guys are fantastic! Thanks for providing such a fun place for our daughter to learn drums and sing and be a part in making music. So much fun!

My son has been taking guitar lessons for many years, and the staff and instructors during that time have been supportive, knowledgeable, and above all super friendly. The School of Rock has been and continues to be a wonderful experience. Cheers!

We had our first experience with Kalamazoo Music School through Sensory Sunday. It was a great experience for both of my children, and they had a lot of fun! Jessi was so welcoming and did everything she could to accommodate my children's needs, as well as the needs of other students. We are so excited to return to the next Sensory Sunday!

I have been welcomed by the school and the staff each time I have been there. When I inquired about sensory Sundays they were pretty accommodating when I needed to introduce my child to their building before we came.

I think that this initial sensory Sunday is somewhere to build from. The staff were very accommodating of my child's needs and for the most part things were fairly accessible for them. I didn't feel there was any forced participation.

I think as a parent with special needs children it can sometimes be a little bit hard to introduce others to your family and your dynamic. I didn't feel that anybody in particular was singled out or overbearing or anything like that. I think with more repetition it will obviously get easier for everybody involved. Everybody has different disabilities and different levels of communication. Everyone that attended and participated were accommodated to the best of everybody's abilities including the staff.

I think that with honest feedback the program could grow and it could be something very special I just think that it isn't fair to judge something very quickly. We plan on having our child come to more of these classes to see if it's a good fit for them. These are not traditional music lessons at any rate it is more something appropriate for those with disabilities.

The classes they do offer however are taught by excellent staff who are pillars of the music community around here. They are very knowledgeable about the instruments they specialize in. Anybody seeking to start or improve their craft with music I think should seek the school out. In my brief visits to the school I've seen many different people from all walks of life welcomed into their doors.

Just wanted to share my disappointment with the Kalamazoo Music School on Rose. It is NOT as inclusive and welcoming as advertised nor as we thought it would be.
Firstly, we got sneers from a lot of the participants’ parents and some of the children too.. so we can just about imagine what the poor children are being taught. There was enough room for the small group to all be seated and nobody wanted to sit next to our family.

Once we transitioned from music class to art class, there was room for a little girl to sit next to my daughter and she adamantly refused. I spoke up and asked her and her father was there a reason she didn’t want to sit in the seat next to us. She shook her head and her father just smiled. We decided to leave because even my daughter was less happy and engaged than she usually is. Once we left, the little girl and her father walked over to the table and sat in the very seats that we’d been in.

There’s lot of work to be done in this country and it starts with each person. It must be sad to exist daily with such a high level of ignorance.

Update: we can see that you’ve collaborated with the few people who were there (some of whom were guilty of sneering at us and not wanting to sit near us) and had them give their positive feedback to offset our negative review. We understand that you wouldn’t want to lose business or be noted as a place that fosters or tolerates discrimination of any kind. The fact is, no matter how you slice it, you, Jessi, are the facilitator of the sensory Sunday program and like you communicated to my wife on Facebook ( I have posted, here , the photos of the conversation between you both), you should keep a sharper eye out for social cues that occur between the families and if you see something that appears “off” between them, maybe encouraging people to fill in empty seats and not rearrange seats to avoid sitting next to others would be helpful, in the future. It’s all about ensuring that every family/paying student/customer feels comfortable in the environment that you have the ability to make pleasant for ALL in attendance.

The School of Rock program is approachable and suitable for people with a variety of different learning styles. The music selections rock, and the instructors are all active in their fields, and know how to talk to kids without talking down to them.
The performance program has been a confidence boost for both of my teens.

We’ve been rocking out here for close to a year. Both kids are enrolled in weekly lessons. Summer camp was awesome. The staff has been helpful navigating schedule changes as they have come up! Thank you all for a great year!

I love that my kids are learning music in a way that is fun for them and that they’re able to perform for others so quickly. Not only are they benefiting from the musical education, they’re developing the courage and poise necessary to perform on stage. Also, they love interacting with their bandmates and teachers, and they feel very much a part of a team. They are motivated to do their best learning and performing their songs so they don’t let their teammates down. They have tried other music programs before, but the School of Rock way has by far been the best.

"School of Rock is more than just a music school; it's a community where my son has thrived both musically and socially. The teachers are exceptional, displaying a level of commitment that goes above and beyond. The balance between serious instruction and fun activities keeps him eager to attend every class. Plus, the teamwork skills he's gaining from the band experience are invaluable. I highly recommend.

My son is a student there. The program has inspired him to pick up his guitar again, after it had been relegated to the top of his bunk bed to collect dust. It's also given him new found confidence in himself and the opportunity to talk about music with fellow music lovers. It's such a wonderful program.

Excellent program with many opportunities for the students. Great instructors! My daughter has been blessed to have Jeff for her drum teacher. He is kind, knowledgeable in many instruments and has a great and patient way of teaching children. He makes learning fun!

My daughter did the 90's rock camp a few weeks ago. She was super nervous the first day as she does not particularly enjoy meeting new people or even performing in front of people. By the end of the first day she was totally into it and had a great day!! The fun continued all week and the performance today was great! She has made some great friends and had a fun week doing what she loves!!

Music Box is a great place to learn music. No matter if you want to learn a new instrument or improve upon what you already know you can do it all at Music Box. I’m a vocal student and my teacher Dana has been amazing. She’s taught me so much and overall has made me a more confident singer by helping me find my vocal range, improve my singing technique, and giving me positive feedback. She’s highly knowledgeable on music and singing and she does a great job at helping others become better singers.

Overall Music Box is a great place to learn music no matter how old you are or where you are on your musical journey. All the teachers are great and it’s a friendly and welcoming environment.

My son loves it here. He's been going for a full year and it's his thing. He has gained so much confidence and community, and he is always excited to go. I wish I could afford to send him every day of the week.

Our son Robbie started lessons in July with Dana and we have been so happy with the progress he has made. He is eager to show us what he has learned each lesson. Everyone we have met has been so awesome and excited about sharing their love of music.

Our high school senior took Voice lessons with Juliana this year. Juliana is a wonderful teacher and went above and beyond helping our teen to prepare for an audition. We were very happy with Lutherville Music School and felt the quality of instruction was very high for the price. Drew (the owner) was always very responsive to emails. They have a nice common room to wait while your child takes lessons. We were overall very impressed!

Our son started lessons here when he was ten years old, and after continuing for the past several years he’s now headed to college to study Music Industry. Lutherville Music School helped him cultivate his passion and gave him an incredibly strong foundation for what he hopes will not only be a lifelong hobby but potentially a future career. Our son started with drums, then eventually learned guitar, bass, writing and recording songs, music theory, and even some keys and vocals. He emerged from every lesson with a smile, full of energy and new ideas. Mr. Drew helped him form a band with good friends, where he learned how to play gigs and now regularly gets paid to play out at shows. We can’t thank Drew and the school enough for all the ways they’ve helped our son learn and grow, including connecting music to giving back in the community. If your child has an interest in music of any kind, this is an amazing place.

The whole crew is fabulous. The kids/teens are great. So much dedication shines thru in their performances
Awesome job all!

I am so impressed with how much my 10-year daughter has grown in her piano knowledge and practice. She's always so excited for her weekly lesson, and when she comes home and wants to keep practicing, we know it's something she loves to do. All Music Box teachers and staff are fantastic. They have tons of wonderful programs that keep learning fun and fresh. Their summer camp programs are AMAZING too! We highly recommend Music Box - 1000%!!

I like the instructor, the setup of the instruction, the layout of the office, the pricing is reasonable, the way kids are motivated to learn is great, the songs they learn are ideal (for me). I am very happy with this company!

My 11 year-old son began taking drum lessons at the School of Rock with Colin in September with no experience at all. Now, he is playing full songs! After every session, he receives feedback and notes on what they worked on. My son absolutely loves going there and when he has a scheduling conflict, they go out of their way to find another slot so he doesn’t miss a week. I highly recommend this school.

Kalamazoo Music School is absolutely awesome! Our oldest daughter loves taking lessons there! She has gained so much confidence in her skills and loves performing! The Kalamazoo Music School staff members are so friendly, caring, organized, and supportive!

We love this organization! Our son is having fun and learning so much. We have been impressed with how professional the KYJO sounds when performing. The value of life long love of music is definitely present. Josiah is a great teacher, the way he shows the students the importance of recognizing the history of Jazz and the respect for the men and women is honorable and so important for our young people to understand

My 9 year old son is having a fantastic time in Rock 101! I have seen his progress and he always wants to go to his after school activity. Highly recommend.

My son LOVES school of rock and looks forward to it each week. He feels part of a community of kids and adults who love music, like he does. He loves being in a band and connecting to so many cool and talented teachers. He has learned so much since September as a musician and is obsessed. We are so happy to be a part of this community!

My daughter started taking bass lessons from School of Rock about a month ago. We like a few things about the program. First, her instructor is someone that she looks up to and identifies with. He gives her the sense that what she is interested in is "cool" --- and that has real value to us. Second, we love how open and flexible the school's owner is. He is easy to reach, responsive to our questions, and willing to work with us when our schedule makes it difficult to attend a lesson. We are looking forward to growing with the program as our daughter learns more.

Absolutely LOVE this place...We've been learning and growing in our music knowledge as an entire family thanks to Kalamazoo Music School. My daughter and I have both been students for voice lessons, my daughter has taken trumpet lessons and even participated in various jazz ensembles. First rate experience all around, from Benji and Ashley down through all the teachers. Special shout out to Alison who has worked so hard with both my daughter and I in developing our voices and our confidence. Can't say enough THANKS to you, and look forward to growing with you in the future!!!

We love Ms. Ruby! She has been an amazing teacher for my daughter who is playing the violin. She has been doing so well that she has been invited to practice for the NYSSMA.

Best "recitals" ever. A full performance experience at an authentic NYC music venue. Never experienced a teacher a SoR that wasn't both extremely talented and kind.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about this establishment. In spring of 2021, they took my daughter in (and now son joined also) in and really brought out her true talents. It means so much to her that our daughter feels like SOR is part of her family. She is thrilled to go sing each week and work on her vocals. She loves being on stage and has the opportunity to gain confidence doing this. As a parent, they have definitely listened to my input and valued it and never neglected anything we have discussed. If your child has ANY musical inclination, then you MUST enroll them in this program. They will prosper because Savoya and her team are amazing and truly value their clients and treat them as family. This place is a part of our lives now as it changes our children's lives for the better each week they go there.

We love School of Rock! Talented and kind teachers - it is such a supportive community. So glad we discovered it-

I have 3 daughters who take piano lessons and/or participate in the summer camps! The instructors are amazing and genuinely care for my kids and their success at The Center of the Arts! We love that there’s a coffee shop nearby to enjoy while they practice!! We love The Center of the Arts! Highly recommend!

We love the center for the arts. My kids do dance, piano and vocal ongoing and have done many of the summer camps. They always exceed our expectations. I would recommend to anyone.

Love this studio!!!❤️(I take dance and viola here and all the teachers are totally overqualified!)

We love Kalamazoo Music School, they are so helpful and kind. They have harbored a safe environment for my children to grow in their musical endeavors. Learning confidence and technique. They are great with communicating if anything changes. I highly recommend them

We love our School of Rock, Cary NC... Kevan Hester is an extremely amicable and professional owner. Our instructor Sergio is so wonderful with our daughter! Best decision I ever made for our child. It's best in class in the market. In just a few short months our child has progressed wonderfully and best of all practices and looks forward to class!

My daughter absolutely loves School of Rock in Cary. They have helped mold her love of music, and given her more confidence with playing bass guitar. The owner/manager, Kevan, has always been very pleasant to work with. I truly believe Kevan and my daughter's instructor have a real passion for music and teaching. I plan on sending her there for as long as she enjoys it - based on what I am seeing, that will be the remainder of her highschool years. I waited for this time to arrive - She has finally found her gift and passion. I'm so happy for her. If you are considering them, I say give it a try.

My kiddo LOVES School of Rock! After doing a one week camp during the summer, they wanted to sign up for the Pop Punk series one day a week after school this fall. The motivation of performing in a group has positively impacted their electric guitar practice, and taught them more about arranging different musician/performers for various songs. The teachers balance being super cool and creating structure. It's a great experience and so fun to see the shows!

We've had a great experience with the Cary School of Rock. We are back for our second season and look forward to a great fall. My son is doing vocal training, performance, and is also just starting with guitar and very much enjoys it all. The coaching is strong and they have high standards for the kids. They keep the groups small so every performer gets a lot of attention. They also put on a great show - equipment, production being top notch. Highly recommend.

Bruce Anderson is very patient and encouraging. I thoroughly enjoyed my first lesson today and look forward to improving under his instruction.

My 14yo daughter has been taking voice and keyboard lessons at School of Rock in Germantown and absolutely loves it! She looks forward to every lesson. Everyone from their manager, Savoya, to her teacher, Sara, and all the students she has gotten to know...it has become more like a second family. She is growing in confidence in her abilities because of their support and encouragement. And, as a parent, I appreciate the feedback that is emailed after each session.

My daughter is participating in her first concert in Sept. The kids get first-hand experience at actually performing, and aren't confined to simply learning from or performing for their instructor. We LOVE School of Rock!

My 11 year old daughter took guitar lessons with Greg Wimmer at School of Rock in Lutherville. It was the first time she played guitar and Greg was very patient with her. My daughter is very talkative and energetic. Greg was able to keep her focused. Even when Greg wasn't available my daughter wanted to wait for him. We recommend Greg Wimmer for anyone who’s looking for guitar lessons. He’s an all around good person and a great teacher.

We absolutely love this school. My kids enjoy piano with Rose, guitar with Drew, and band with Sean. It has been a fantastic program, and the kids have come a long way in just a year. The band option is really fun for them. It has sealed their interest in practicing and loving music!! Great teachers, wonderful program.

I’ve taken sign language camps during the summer and private voice lessons year-round. The instructors are amazing, talented, and bring out the best in their students. The community established by the Center for the Arts is filled with love and a strong desire to be creative in everything you do. 10/10 recommend!!

My son has been taking guitar lessons here for a few years now. Jeremy does a great job. He has always been very patient and flexible. I highly recommend ASM!

Fast and friendly

Great Teacher's Great Atmosphere A Musicians Fantasy Island😊😇🎼🎵🪕🎹🎧🎸🎻🥁🎺🎚🎙

I spent 10ish years of my life taking drum and bass lessons here. I very very highly recommend. All the teachers are absolutely amazing. Miss this place lots!!!

I started taking guitar lessons last summer as a desperate attempt to have some balance in my life, and Jeremy has been nothing short of phenomenal. He's so skilled and clear in his instruction, he meets me where I am (whether I've practiced or not!) but still subversively pushes me a bit further each time, and is just a wonderful, joyful person. He *never* makes me feel bad on weeks when I can't practice, and is so quick to celebrate my tiny successes and show me the next trick. No matter how I walk in to my lessons, I leave feeling happier, lighter, and like I *might* actually be able to play the guitar one day. I can't recommend Jeremy and the Athens School of Music highly enough!

My experience with this school has been fantastic. I would highly recommend them to anyone, especially for beginners like me at the age of 27 who have never picked up an instrument before. I was able to learn so much and the teacher was so very patient with me and taught me techniques that I feel really catered to my individual learning.

The first time I met Anthony and Susan was when my daughter, Meredith, 3 years old at the time, had just been evaluated as having mild to moderate autism and I was looking for alternative ways in which she would be able to express herself. When I told Susan and Anthony about Meredith and her situation, they opened their arms and accepted who she was without asking any questions. It was tough at the beginning to teach my daughter because she wasn’t talking and did not follow any directions. But Susan was very patient with her and very knowledgeable of what type of instruction was needed. Within a few weeks, my daughter thrived—she played songs with two hands, read notes by herself, recognized the sounds being played, and most importantly, she started to talk. I was very touched and thrilled to discover that my daughter was able to communicate and interact with people other than her parents. This November will be the one year anniversary of my daughter’s first lesson with Susan. Within the year, Meredith had noticeably improved and had demonstrated the ability to play more and more difficult pieces. She even had her very first piano recital and completed a song all by herself. She said to me after the recital that she wasn’t scared, not even a bit!
Of course, there are ups and downs during the lessons, but Susan and Anthony are always there for us and give us the best advice after each lesson, as well as share their personal experiences with other kids in need. I am very grateful that I have met them and very delighted that my daughter has found her music home.

Our son feels so comfortable going to Park Slope Music School. The teachers take into account the students’ taste and style, which engages kids in learning.

Piano Lessons going good
My son was upset tht his first teacher suddenly quit. The second teacher is good too but kinda busy so absent and he deals with lot of substitute teachers therefore
Great if this can be minimal”

School of Rock is awesome! My son started here a couple of months ago, and did their summer camp. He really enjoyed the camp and he loves his instructor. It’s a little further out of our way than other places, but my son really likes it and that’s what matters. Matt is his drumming instructor.

Flexible hours, fantastic teachers and staff, and I like that there are a lot of programs and incentives for young learners.

School of Rock Germantown isn't just a corporate franchise with some vague purpose of playing music. It's run by great people, and they have a very specific purpose: to teach your kid how to rock. You'll get to know people like Ken (the owner), Kris (show director), Jeff (house band director), and many more who love music and are passionate about sharing it. These people will take your child's natural talent and focus it like a laser on becoming a great musician. A musician with talent and stage presence.

There is a long list of things that make playing live music difficult. You have to get a band together, book gigs, find a place to practice, etc. As an aside, try finding a parent that has the space and the patience to allow a big rock band to practice in their house. Once you find that parent you have to find neighbors that like it as well because it is LOUD :) That is all taken care of by School of Rock. All your kid has to do is play. In a way it's just like sports, all you have to do is practice and play, the league sets up everything else. It's perfect because all of your kids energy is directed toward music, not logistics.

Our son started off in the regular shows, then auditioned for the House Band. He made the cut and got a tremendous amount of experience playing in front of live crowds at places like BB Kings, Club 152, Miglewood Hall, and the Hard Rock Cafe among many others. He then went on the summer tour where he and his house band friends shredded in front of crowds all up and down the Mississippi River. They played gigs in St. Louis, Chicago, and even the worlds largest music festival: Summer Fest in Milwaukee (headlined by bands like Tom Petty and the Red Hot Chili Peppers). It was an AMAZING run for those kids to play so much and for such a wide variety of audiences.

I can tell you that School of Rock Germantown is a big part of my kids life, he will forever remember it as a tremendously fun period of time where learned and played, made a bunch of great friends, and also gained a deep base of experience in playing live music that he'll retain forever.

If your kid wants to play, this is an AWESOME outlet for his or her musical energy and curiosity. Some kids will even discover an inner "rock monster". If that's the case, hang on tight because you could be in for a wildly fun ride that will see your kid playing in front of thousands of people and touring the country this summer. The only limit is how bad the kid wants it. If your kid loves music and practices like a madman, then his success is guaranteed.

My kid is eighteen now and moving on to college. They played to a packed house at Neils last night and I kid you not, when my kid came off stage last night he had ladies I've never seen hugging him. THAT my friends, is confirmation that you've attained rock star status.

I do not recommend this place it's a wasting time and money They charge too much for nothing My daughter hates.

Jeremy and the ASM team are wonderful. My daughter (age 13) and I both take lessons. Last summer we performed together on stage at Hendershots in a Jazz ensemble. This was a dream come true for me. My daughter loves ASM and her musical skills and self confidence have grown tremendously as a result. If you have any curiosity about music give Jeremy call. You will not be disappointed.

Susan and Anthony have built a wonderful business in Treblemakers. My husband is a professional musician and composer, with a fairly high standard and high expectations for the musical training of our daughter. Treblemakers has exceeded those expectations. Susan not only teaches singing; she teaches *music*. Her lessons focus on the fundamentals of musicianship while maintaining our daughter's interest with fun exercises and great song choices. All the while, Anthony runs the office with aplomb, always communicating with the parents and keeping on top of the scheduling. We're extremely pleased to have found this wonderful company.

Good instructors

Jeremy and his team at ASM are the best! Very family friendly and good for all ages. I'm learning to play guitar at age 42 and will be performing in my first ensemble in June. If you are thinking about taking lessons I highly recommend stopping by to meet them and see their place in person.

We are so happy at treblemakers. The teachers and the owners are talented, tolerant and easy going. I recommend them for beginners and advanced students alike.

Both my boys have had wonderful teachers and experiences at Treblemakers. Between the two of them, we are now in our 5th year of weekly piano lessons there. Our teacher is so motivating and nurturing, and so patient! She makes each lesson enjoyable even while my son is learning a ton. I highly recommend them.

We have known Santa Teresa Academy of Music and Dance Directors Craig Lynch and Shirley Veloro (Craig's wife), for approximately four years now. During this time period, two of our sons have received piano instruction from Craig and violin instruction from Miss Cristy. It has been an absolutely wonderful experience for our boys and both of them have learned an immense amount about not only their respective instruments, but also about the responsibility that comes with taking music lessons. They have also learned about key aspects of music appreciation and performance. Craig, Shirley and their wonderful staff are all VERY compassionate in their interactions with their students and families. In our case, we expressed that performance skills were less important to us as a family, as our one son has extreme anxiety issues and doesn't enjoy performance in front of large crowds. We simply wanted a gentle and compassionate violin teacher who could help nurture a love of the instrument within him, rather than have him dread practicing or playing the violin. We are amazed every time he picks up his violin to play. It is such an accomplishment for a child like him and it has enhanced his self-esteem. As for our piano playing son, he started working with Craig in his mid-teens. Even though his lessons had to stop due to preparation for college this past year, he still returns to play the piano on his own. Craig did such a wonderful job working with him and teaching him not only how to sight read, but also how to dissect a piece of music and put it all back together. We find our son going to the piano now, as a source of enjoyment and relaxation. In our mind, that is absolute success when it comes to the question as to whether or not it was worth the financial investment and time commitment to giving our sons music lessons. We have seen Santa Teresa Academy of Music and Dance grow from it's very beginnings and now it truly is a hub of creative arts!!! Dancers, and musicians of all ages gather in this studio to creatively express themselves and it is such a positive vibe that Shirley and Craig have created. THANK YOU for the love of music that you have instilled within our children and also for the wonderful standard of music instruction that you provide to the San Jose community!!!

Treblemakers has inspired our son to practice piano at home without being asked. This hasn't happened anyplace else for us. It's been over a year now and it's still true! This was a major breakthrough for us. The programming Suzan Stroud wrote and developed for kids is unique, engaging and inspiring, and they really learn. Yes, she wrote the book! The other musicians they employ to work with your child are the perfect blend of fun, energetic and driven with real music careers of their own. The founders, Suzan Stroud and Anthony Ojeda are both lovely people who obviously love what they do. We can't recommend them highly enough.

My son has been taking piano with Suzan for almost five years. She is great with kids and flexible in her approach. Highly recommend.

This music school is great! It's a very healthy and friendly environment and it includes all ages. Even Adults! This school inspired me to be the musician I am today. Love this school. Rock on!
