Rob is easy to work with and was very, very patient with me as this was my first time in the studio. The work we created together was very good and I am proud to share it with my friends, family and potential music gigs. I look forward to working with him again in the near future.

The Sauce Pot crew is committed to serving the musicians of the central coast and we are SO LUCKY to have this studio in our area. They have multiple iso rooms, great vibe, clean space and tons of gear. They are also very connected in the music scene so if you have a need that they can't serve, guaranteed they have a reliable person they can bring in on your project. Bottom line, these guys are dedicated to music and deeply care about providing a quality environment and experience for anyone that walks through their doors. If you are in need of recording or rehearsal space, the Sauce Pot is the place to check out!!!

Tevelde is truly a wonderful and accepting place. I am a student at their school and have had three…read moredifferent teachers, all of which I absolutely adore. They are all just extraordinary teachers and when you walk in, you already feel safe and happy. The vibe is just all around great. Miss Bonnie Tevelde is the owner and gets really excited if you're excited to learn. She often gets into many different aspects of music and will almost definitely have sheet music on hand of your favorite song. She is all over the place, but somehow seems to keep it managed in an orderly fashion. She is such a great teacher and incredible owner. Miss Sierra Gainer, soon to be Mrs. Sierra Shiver, is such a sweetheart of a teacher. I, personally, have not had her as a teacher, but just the encounters I have had with her before my lessons are amazing because her smile just makes you feel like the place is a little bit warmer. She teaches many instruments, but her specialties from what I've seen are ukulele, piano, and voice. She is so nice and sweet, and she definitely is worth having for a lesson. Or two. Or however many you would like. And finally, Miss Shaira Benitez. She is my current teacher, and let me tell you, she is so good at what she does. She is the one that teaches most of the theory I know, she teaches some piano, and voice. Her voice is so powerful and she is definitely able to teach you that too, as she has taught me. So if you need preparation for that audition you've been so nervous about, she's your woman. Also, she's a huge goofball, so honestly, just be prepared for some pretty bad dad jokes. All in all, this school is definitely the school you would want to attend for music lessons. You may go in thinking "they may not be able to do anything with me, I have such horrible music skills", you'd be wrong because I went in thinking the same thing for my first lesson. As soon as my first lesson was over with, I knew that my time here was going to be great. I've been attending this school for 1 hour a week for about a year and a half now, and honestly, it's just such a great environment. If music is your passion, then this establishment would be your place to express it.

I cannot tell you how much I love this place!!! We are new to the area and my Son was interested in…read moreplaying the drums. I googled music lessons that were around me and the TeVelde Conservatory of Music came up. I went to their website, which is very put together, got to read the bio of it, as well as see each picture of each of the music teachers. We met with Bonnie, the owner. She is EXTREMELY excited about music and is a very "hands on" owner, which I appreciate! Her team of teachers are the creme dela creme, if you ask me. She has your child take a test and based on their personality, they are set up with the corresponding teacher. Michael is my Son's piano and drums teacher and he is just an AWESOME human being. We just love him. My Son looks forward to coming to music!! The prices are quite a bit higher than others, BUT you get what you pay for and this place is WORTH EVERY CENT!!!

Not only is he a well-versed teacher, he knows how to motivate his students. I leave the lesson pumped-up and anxious to return. At 72 years old, I may be his oldest student but obviously he doesn't consider age a factor. He seems to think that I am more capable than I do and that is a good thing. And on top of that, Music Motive is a well organized company offering a wide array of lessons at reasonable prices. Highly recommended!
