She coached me when I entered the Hit Like A Girl drumming competition in 2023 for the first time and I ended as a finalist in my age group. She is attentive, patient, kind, and knows exactly what skills to teach to improve your playing technique. She is a delight to work with and can teach beginning students to advanced students alike. I recommend her to anyone who is just getting into drums or is sharpening their chops. Karen is the best!

Title: Exceptional Service at Tim's Music!…read more I had an unexpected issue with my chromatic harmonica right before an important practice session, and after calling around everywhere, Tim's Music was the only shop able to help. Natalie, the Service Coordinator, went out of her way to arrange for a technician to take a look at it--even though they don't normally repair harmonicas. Taylor, the repair technician, examined it right away, found debris inside, and returned it playing better than ever. Scott, the owner, even came out personally to make sure everything was just right. They didn't charge me a dime and made me feel truly cared for. This level of kindness and professionalism is rare. Tim's Music has earned a very loyal customer. Thank you!

We feel so fortunate to have found Teacher Mimi for our kids' piano lessons. She is not only an…read moreexcellent teacher but also a true performer who brings music to life. What sets her apart is her ability to combine solid theory with practical skills. Thanks to her teaching, both of my children have learned to remember and play songs by understanding chords rather than just memorizing notes. Mimi emphasizes the basics with such care--especially hand technique--that it gives her students the foundation to play advanced and elegant pieces with confidence. I wasn't sure if my kids would enjoy piano at first, but with Mimi, they have grown to love it and even appreciate classical music. They get inspired by Chopin and Beethoven, often choosing challenging pieces, and Mimi patiently guides them through all the techniques and theories behind the music. She helps them truly enjoy mastering each piece, turning it into their "dream song." Another highlight is her master classes held multiple times throughout the year, where students share their pieces and give constructive feedback to one another. She also prepares her students thoroughly for evaluations, and every year she hosts a grand recital at the San Francisco Conservatory of Music--her alma mater--which makes the experience even more special. Teacher Mimi is the kind of piano teacher every parent hopes for. She's inspiring, highly skilled, and deeply dedicated to her students' growth. You will never regret choosing her, and we are more than thankful to have her guiding our children on their musical journey.

I…read morewas referred to Mimi by Jeff at the Sacramento Music Exchange store after purchasing a Yamaha piano in December of 2024. I interviewed with Mimi in January and started private lessons with her the following week. In less than 4 months she has significantly improved my playing. Mimi was able to quickly identify my weaknesses and get me on the path to improvement. She is serious yet makes learning fun and has a passion for her students and music. Mimi also goes above and beyond what most teacher's will. When I get stuck on a particular musical passage or have a question, I send her a text message and she always replies with the help I need. If you are serious about learning the piano or improving your musical abilities, you should reach out to see if Mimi can help you.

The inside has such a cool relaxed music studio vibe, I think I spent most of the time walking around and checking everything out from the different rooms to all of the awesome artwork on the walls. I even love their giant wall where all the kids sign and doodle on it! When we arrived, one of the owners welcomed us and gave us a tour. I love that they have glass doors so you can see other students practicing everything from drums, to bass, to singing! As much as you'd think all of the noise could be a bit much, I actually found it relaxing and liked hearing all the different instruments. My daughter's singing coach (Cale) was very patient and kind and she left even more excited to join than when we arrived. When we left, the receptionist gave us a flyer with the pricing and class options for my daughter's age - I thought it was a bit steep at first, but it includes 8 classes a month - 2 a week - 1 one on one session for 30 minutes and 1 group lesson for an hour and a half. Everyone there was so nice and you can tell the coaches/teachers love their job and what they can offer to these kids! The coaches offer everything from bass, guitar, drum, singing, and even keyboard/piano. They also offer summer camps, workshops and they even have the kids put on concerts! We will definitely be joining soon and I can't wait to see where School of Rock takes my daughter's confidence! Check them out!

We are so happy to have found Music Lab Folsom! When our son got serious about drumming, we were…read morelucky to find Music Lab when they first opened in Folsom. His drum teacher is phenomenal. He has such a calm spirit and really has a natural way of teaching. He also has an excellent musical education and background. Our son keeps improving his skills and we owe that to his experience at Music Lab. He also took an interest in guitar and bass. He first started on guitar and then moved to bass lessons. His bass teacher is also incredible. I think he could play and teach just about any instrument. He is very calm and intentional with his lessons. He is another good fit for our son. One of our favorite things about Music Lab, beyond the lessons, are the semi-annual music showcases that they put on for their students and their guests. It's the perfect way to showcase the students' new skills and highlight their growth through the years. The owners, teachers, and staff are all so supportive. Music Lab also puts on great summer camps with fun and talented teachers. Last year, our son did intermediate drum camp, and this year, he tried a musical theater camp. I love that there are so many areas for him to expand his talents! I even got brave and took voice lessons. My teacher was very patient and talented. I learned so much and improved my skills, too. I can't say enough good things about our experience at Music Lab!
