She is very positive and gives him lots of good coaching in a way that isn't overwhelming.

He also joined a US Music Lessons rockband that has an instructor. A convenient factor is that you can do lessons online if your kid is feeling under the weather or you are out of town.

This is one stop music class, DRUMS, GUITAR/BASS, PIANO, UKULELE, VIOLIN, and VOICE. They also offer ONLINE LESSONS. I would recommend this place whole heartedly. My heather is awesome.

This business is 100% inappropriate with children. I have been there several years and it has gone…read moredown hill over the last year. My child (10yo) was pressured into doing things in the theater program; she has told the directors she was uncomfortable several times over a few weeks and that was disregarded. She is suffering from PTSD, humiliated in front of her peers, and was belittled by a 16yo "director" on a performance night. Completely unacceptable. Also, more than half way through this Springs production, one of the two directors decided to leave the company....thoughts!? I do NOT recommend this business and hope to save others from such a negative experience. Everything stated here is entirely true; I am seeking necessary action.

Ms Bella is quinnessential piano teacher- she's great at her craft as a musician and a teacher…read more She's friendly and stern and pushes kids to do their best. Each lesson focuses on a different aspect of the pieces each student is working on. This helps each student fine-tune how they perceive their timing, fingering, speed, etc. I like the slow, focused, practical approach detail. It breaks it down so the students can focus on just one thing at a time without getting overwhelmed. Ms Bella teaches both traditional piano theory as well as the Suzuki Method. We've just started the Suzuki approach which focuses on listening to simple tunes with very distinct patterns and then being able to replicate them- a very different approach that is great for auditory learners. It's only been a couple months, but I am very grateful for our lessons so far!

We are looking forward to the next recital to showcase her progress and achievement.

For…read moreexample, one day before a concert, a cello string came off due to normal wear and tear, and we reached out to Bertrand for help. Mr. Dennis G. understood the urgency of the situation and kindly assisted us in repairing the cello. In addition to the prompt service and kindness of the Bertrand team, our daughter's cello teacher, Mr. Elliot R., has been wonderful. He does an excellent job balancing encouragement with allowing each student the space to develop their own self-motivation to learn the cello. Overall, our family has been very happy with Bertrand at the Carmel Mountain-Rancho Peñasquitos location.

Bertrand's Music is a music store focused on "school band & orchestra sales, rentals, lessons, and…read morerepair," as stated on their website. Our middle school band teachers works with Bertrand's Music exclusively and I understand that they trust them. The store itself looks nice. They had some instruments for sale displayed, along with music books. They have rooms for lessons in the back. The parking lot is usually congested though and parking is not easy. Our experience is only with getting an instrument repair quote from them. I'm sure the lessons and rentals are just fine here, but we would not exactly recommend Bertrand's for repairs, especially if you weren't even referred to come here by your school band for an instrument that belongs to the school. They have to ship out the instrument somewhere off site to even give us a quote, and we had to wait ten business days just to hear back that the instrument was unsalvageable and not worth repairing. They were unable to provide us with any written detail of what exactly needed to be repaired and what the cost would be. I'm not sure why they do it like this, because it appears a bit unprofessional. If you're looking for someone to repair a specific instrument that you own, we don't think this is the perfect place to bring it. It would probably be best to find someone who specializes in repairing that instrument to do it on site. Repairs were just one aspect of their business and it's technically a relationship between the school band and Bertrand's, so it didn't bother us. The staff were very nice and accommodating, and we appreciated that. They provided us with a receipt that the school needed, and it was as simple as that. Thank you!
