I am not convinced if he is…read moremature enough to learn piano at his age, he is super active and can barely sit down for more than 5 mins. After relentless "when can I go for a piano lesson", I started looking for a good school for him. Los Gatos School of Music is 5 minutes from my home. I am encouraged by the reviews here and I scheduled his first trial lesson. When we got there, I was so nervous, my son barely read, how in the earth he will be able to understand how to read music and all that intricacies? To my amazement, Ms Michelle managed to get my son to concentrate and learn very well. Today is our 4th lesson and my son is still excited and wants to learn more. The piano lesson is not only good for his soul, it also teaches him a great motor skills and brain coordination with his hand movement. I am so happy to find this place and Ms Michelle for my son. We are so looking forward every week to come to this place.

He is very easy to communicate with and flexible to accomodate my request on my son's lesson plan. He often organized get together events for all his students and families which we enjoy very much. It is such a good way to meet other families that share the same passion like us. I also like that he has a few recitals scheduled in a year. In fact, we just had our Holiday Recital at Santa Clara University Recital Hall. It's a great venue and my son had an amazing experience performed on the stage. If you are looking for a piano teacher for your kids or yourself, definitely give Grant a try, I'm sure you'll like him!

Grant transformed our musical journey from the first lesson to the present day. He is dedicated to a teaching style that emphasizes creativity that feeds off musicality. He introduces his students to various genres and styles that create an environment of inspiration and discovery for his students and himself. He truly cares about the well-being of my daughter in conjunction with generating a deep understanding of her pieces that have enabled her to pass CM Level 10 with honors and support and fuel her desire to enter a few competitions. Grant is able to strike the perfect balance between nurturing her creativity and fostering her technical foundation. His teaching style is both patient and encouraging. As a parent, it's important to utilize many tools to communicate and conduct business seamlessly. Everything is tracked and communicated through my daughter, teaching her to manage her lessons on her own by staying updated with the latest teaching methodologies and innovative techniques, and that is a great benefit. Grant's communication and interpersonal skills are exceptional. My daughter is an introvert, and Grant is able to foster that trait by building a strong teacher-student bond. In conclusion, We are immensely grateful for Grant's guidance and would definitely recommend him to anyone seeking an excellent piano teacher.

Complex musical concepts are explained in a clear and approachable way, and she intuitively recognizes which areas each child needs additional support, reinforcement, or challenge in. The music pieces my child learns are thoughtfully selected to match her skill level and interests, making piano study both engaging and enjoyable. Beyond playing the correct notes, Ms. Jean encourages her students to interpret the music--to express its emotions and stories. She introduces this through creative storytelling, making musical expression come alive. Attending one of Ms. Jean's recitals is truly inspiring. Her students perform with grace, confidence, and artistry, skillfully shaping phrases and conveying deep expression through their playing. For my child, learning piano has become more than simply practicing notes--it's an exploration of emotion and musical depth woven into each piece. Under Ms. Jean's guidance, I see my child growing into a true musician. I am deeply grateful to have Ms. Jean as my child's piano teacher. -- Grateful Parent

They're extremely patient--not only in scheduling, but also in teaching. My sons were beginning piano players, and they know everyone struggles at first. Never do they get frustrated with slow progress--they always encourage their students and motivate them to become better musicians. For advanced musicians, the instructors can help them get to the next level, as demonstrated by their twice-yearly recitals. I also like how they don't sell stuff in their studio--I kidded them about that because it seems every place that offers lessons also has a supply store.

I interviewed many teachers, but selected Doug based on a recommendation from a high school music teacher that I knew. He had actually taken lessons from Doug! I can't begin to tell you how much I have learned, both in playing the instrument, but also in music theory. What is really amazing is to listen to his other (younger) students at recitals, how well they play, and see how much they enjoy it. Doug is patient, challenging when necessary, and he makes the lessons fun. I look forward to my weekly lessons. I highly recommend Doug!
