Simply stated, Warren is amazing. Our 8-year-old has been taking guitar lessons with Warren since…read moreDecember 2019 and I am amazed at all that my child has learned. Warren is very intuitive about how to teach and especially how to teach kids! I've been trying to find the right teacher for years and Warren is the answer. The most amazing part is that he can teach the music classes over Skype which during this time of quarantine has been a highlight in our week. I feel that Warren has made the guitar fun for a child who had always wanted to learn guitar. Now, my child picks up the guitar all on his own, smiles while playing a song that he just learned and is able to play. Warren also is very knowledgeable about music and he shares that knowledge during the personalized lesson plans. Thank you so much Warren for introducing us to the world of music, we feel lucky to have found you!

Warren was my guitar teacher for 1.5 years and I feel very lucky to have been his student. He is…read morevery gentle and intuitive as a teacher and knows exactly how to engage his students in order to have a fun and productive learning experience. He expertly curates each lesson according to the goals and needs of his students. Warren had the impressive ability to turn all of my favorite songs into guitar pieces that a beginner like me could play! If you are looking for a guitar teacher to help you with learning your favorite songs or if you are a parent hoping for a kind and nurturing teacher for your musically-eager kid, look no further - Warren is the best!

Ahmad is amazing. He is patient and super talented. My daughter loves her lessons with Ahmad and…read morehas really gotten better at her guitar. I've also seen her interest in her acoustic guitar and ukulele increase along with the electric guitar she's been taking her lessons on. If you are looking for an amazing music teacher, Ahmad is it!

We found Ahmad through Internet searches for a guitar instructor, and he has worked out very well…read more Ahmad has been teaching my 15 yr old son electric guitar, and my 11 yr old daughter bass guitar, for the past year. Ahmad has a very comfortable style, where he encourages my kids to pick pieces they'd like to learn (whether Metallica, AC/DC, or modern pop). And then mixes in theory, tips and tricks, together with helping them learn the new pieces. They have made great progress over the past year with Ahmad. And they are really enjoying playing, as Ahmad makes playing the guitar fun (and cool, ha ha). We actually just finished a fun recording of Nothing Else Matters by Metallica. With my son playing electric, and daughter on bass and vocals. He taught both of them their parts for the song. Would definitely recommend Ahmad for guitar lessons. And by the way, he's an absolutely amazing player as well. With the recent shelter-in-place, we've been continuing lessons with Ahmad via Skype, and has been working out well (although in person is always nicer).

Alan is great teacher with good knowledge of music theory and always punctual(as we did home based…read morein person learning). He comes with good plan and curriculum. My son progressed well in each class..he was easily connected with my son and grabbed attention. He is very patient and best piano teacher ever we met. I would recommend him for teaching piano for any age Just try few classes with him then you will understand how Alan makes magic in learning music enjoyable and meaningful.

Does anyone know what happened to Alan? He disappeared March 2018 and never came back to teach…read moreagain our kids or answered his phone?

Nick Molle is fantastic! I was pretty awful when I first started here but after just 12 lessons I…read morewas a completely different singer. He really helped boost my confidence and helped unlock different parts of my voice. The best thing about him is that he's super casual and comfortable to be around and does a great job at getting you comfortable with singing.

Why haven't more ppl left Mr. Molle a review?…read more Nearly everything I have learned with the exception of what I picked up from high school choir comes from this man. He is great at telling you how to tweak vowels /mouth shape and adjust YOUR body/ musculature to produce the sound that sounds great and resonates in YOU. And he seamlessly brings in pedagogy in a fun way - people who run from theory, this man is for YOU. If you want more theory he can give you that too. I have been his student for four years and I have to say. He helped me to refine the angelic tones/ calming quality to my voice that has been my goal to give to those who need to hear that. He even taught me to whistle pitch (which I haven't used for 3 years but the point is he taught me that.) To top it off, he is FREAKING HILARZiOUS. I love voice lessons with him - really helps me to activate my gut with the laughing (which he can seamlessly incorporate into the lesson too) Book this Mr. Molle for lessons!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Grant is a great piano teacher. We are glad that he still teach in cupertino since it's much closer…read moreto our house. 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!

We found Grant Kondo through the CM teachers listing as we were looking for a teacher who could…read morede-compress the need for my (teen) daughter to retain her passion for piano with a teacher who was technologically equipped to conduct meaningful lessons during the pandemic. 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.

I was a student of Brian's 20 years ago...! I recently rummaged through my old books to find some…read moremusic books that he wrote. And they still bring me so much joy to play! I took flute and piano with Brian and having gone through many teachers ( many of them were too strict and made me despise lessons...) but Brian was able to keep me interested by finding the music I was drawn to and also push me (gently) to get better. My father sings Bengali music and Brian even took some recordings and wrote out sheet music for me so I could play flute while my dad sings. Looking back-- it was just so much fun having a piano accompaniment when doing flute lessons too! Thanks for being such a great teacher Brian. Hope you're doing well!! - Konina

Brian was the best piano teacher ever! I remember going to lessons as a kid and had so much fun, he…read morealways brought back sheet music for songs I loved and requested, usually an easier version to read as a kid. Can't recommend more! He also taught me flute when I picked that up and we would split lessons doing both piano and flute. All the best!

I've been taking guitar lessons from Jeremy Epp for about a year and a half now, and singing…read morelessons from Jim Bruno also. They are very competent teachers, patient, and I've learned so much so far! Lessons are fun, and they are great at their craft as well! I'm getting better and from knowing nothing 2 years ago, I've improved greatly! I look forward to continued improvement!

At first I was happy with the results I was getting from my lessons, but the billing and the fact…read morethat rules are not enforced. Once you pay no chance of getting a refund if you have decided to cancel. My personal experience was that I missed time with plenty of notice and I completely lost that time and $$, the teacher missed one and was willing to make up for that time, but when was time he was late. Have a good foundation to build on, but I think I will be teaching myself as the attitude is so so and attention to detail appears not strong point. Lost a lot of $$$ paying early DO NOT make same mistake as you will not get it back.....

Chris is a great teacher! Like a few of the other reviewers, I had stagnated in my guitar playing…read more Chris learned about what I could/could not do from our first lesson, and suggested a learning path that was customized for what I wanted. He gets straight to the point, gives honest feedback and is hard on you when he needs to be. This is the kind of teacher you need if you truly want to get better, and not just hear good feedback. He motivates you to get better, truly cares about taking you to the next level which is all you could ask for in a teacher. Not to mention, Chris is a phenomenal guitar player and skilled producer as well. He truly is interested in all kinds of music, even though metal is his forte. I had to unfortunately stop lessons because I wasn't able to dedicate enough time to practice, but I know whom to go back to when I restart lessons.

This guy right here will teach you everything you need to know! I've never met someone as dedicated…read moreand professional as Chris. Always a great time jamming. It's been a long time, but thanks Chris you helped set my life on the right track!
