I just went to the School of Rock San Ramon concert in Danville. The kids were amazing. So proud of…read morethe talents they've been blessed with. We left when the CHILDREN started introducing the songs politically and the parents likely weren't in agreement (only one person in the packed out audience clapped). That ruined it. This was supposed to be a celebration of San Ramon's kid's achievements. Politics??? Really? Politics weren't what these parents were here for. More importantly politics are not appropriate when the kids are too young to have strong discernment between what their teachers are telling them to say and what they are seeking to understand and cultivate for themselves. Because they're kids and they're getting a cool opportunity to perform, they might even be too intimidated to refuse to say it ...which is straight up exploitation. School of Rock: please don't manipulate our kids that way, stay in your lane. Parents: be advised that you will not be your child's only moral influence when you send them to this music school. They don't just grow talent. They tell them what to believe and you might not agree.

Excellent customer service.

I've been an adult student of Jane's for many years, and highly recommend Jane and the school!

This review is about the manager of music and beyond, Lindsey Baird…read more My daughter went to music and beyond since she was 8 months old and I have never had such a disappointing experience with this business. At age of 5 we decided to enrol our daughter for piano class, Lindsey Baird sent me a Bank and Credit card authorisation for the automatic withdrawal of tuition, the way the authorisation red was like a blank check that allow them to withdraw whatever amount they want from my bank account. When I sent an email and requested to specify the monthly tuition, she stated that I was rude asking for that and they will never state that in any form or bank authorisation . Then in a following email she stated that our daughter was not a good fit for the classes and we should look elsewhere for lessons. I believe she may had a bad day or she did not know the meaning of customer service. But sending such a rude response to a customer of many years is not how our community in Alamo function. The teachers in Music and Beyond are really hard workers, but Lindsey's poor customer service can drag down any business.

We had a deeply disappointing experience with this daycare. Our family recently moved from Fremont…read moreto San Ramon, and we enrolled our two sons, ages 5 and 8, in the summer program before the school year began. Our 8-year-old was experiencing adjustment difficulties following the move and had some incidents involving aggression. After only two weeks, Susan and Art told us that our 5-year-old was "great," but referred to him as "the other one" while saying that our 8-year-old did not belong there. We found this comparison and the way the situation was communicated to be insensitive and unprofessional. We were also told that they were not equipped to support children who act out or do not fit their daycare's approach. Susan stated that they had not experienced this type of behavior from another child in 10 years. Rather than working with us on a transition plan or discussing possible supports, they made it clear that our son could not remain in the program. Our son had been academically successful in Fremont Unified, but he was struggling emotionally with a major move and needed patience, structure, and constructive communication. We understand that every program has limits regarding the behaviors it can safely manage. However, we were very disappointed by the dismissive way our child and family were treated and by the lack of compassion shown during a difficult transition. After only two weeks of enrollment, we now have to find new childcare for both children. Based on our experience, I would urge parents--especially those whose children may need additional behavioral or emotional support--to ask detailed questions about the program's capabilities and approach before enrolling. They conveyed to us that they had limited training, resources, and ability to support children who need additional help, and that their program is better suited only to children who fit within their narrow approach to childcare.
