He's…read morean expert in his craft, but also has a lot of heart and really dedicates himself to your progress. He's helped me drastically improve my skills. And he has also taught me how to stay focused and confident while performing. I've always been a bit terrified actually going on stage, but not anymore. The recitals are always wonderful too. The students range in age and they all play so beautifully - you can really tell how well he's taught them. I definitely highly recommend him!

If I could give 10 Stars for this review to Miss Alison, that still wouldn't be enough. I would…read morewant to go to 11! My son has been going to Miss Alison since he was about 7-years old, so the last 4 years. I have a really limited knowledge of playing music on an instrument, so I'm not going to get technical here however I will say I am constantly amazed at what my son has learned and knows about music because of Miss Alison. To have my son be able to read music, tune his ukulele, write and arrange original music and sing on key while playing -- this is awesome! Miss Alison's energy, experience and easy-going attitude is just so great to keep my son involved and interested. My son hears a song and then we're seeing if she has the sheet music to play it, and then he's playing it. From the Beattles to twenty-one pilots to Bob Marley to DEVO to Bobby McFerrin, my son is strumming and plucking along. Like I said, I want an 11!

Miss Marae really understands kiddos attention spans and does such a wonderful job doing a class for littles.

I taught guitar lessons at Bates-Romeo Music and Art Studio over 10 years ago, but I can say for…read morecertain that Mrs. Romeo is the most effective educator of young musicians available. All the other teachers at the school are very effective as well, and Mrs. Romeo keeps a tight ship and coordinates each student's instruction to maximize their potential. She is way too low on the price of her instruction and you would likely pay double to have some freshlhy graduated music major tutor your child who has never taught pre-K children in their lives. I am only plugging the School because I moved back to San Diego and thought about Mrs. Romeo. She got my started playing violin as an adult... its all a great place for adult learners

Laura has taught me more about guitar playing at a technical level and musicianship as a whole than I would have thought possible. She is an expert in every aspect and has a brilliant talent for translating complex concepts into simple ideas that even I could understand. If you want to truly take control of your guitar booking with Laura will be the best investment you could make.

I have been playing guitar for 30 years but only had lessons the first few years of my playing…read more After years and years of playing for self enjoyment and staying stagnant in my expertise I decided to take lessons again to up my game. Laura was recommended to me by a friend and I decided to give it a shot. I am still pleasantly surprised by the experiences. She teaches guitar like no other, truly amazing. I was not interested in having a teacher that only shows where to put fingers. Laura covers all aspects of guitar playing and performing. She has many many years of experience as a player and performer. She teaches aspects of playing I never thought of, including relaxation,confidence and focus. She was able to show me things about my playing that I never realized after 30 years of playing. She specializes in metal but she is very accomplished in all styles of playing and in music theory. Whatever it is you are looking to learn she can teach it to you in a way you cannot find from watching videos or reading books. Too bad I wasted so much time and effort trying to advance that way. I am pleased to say I moved from an intermediate player to advanced in a surprising short period of time. She has been able to unleash the true guitarist that was deep down inside that I didnt know existed. This has been accomplished with frequent lessons and about 30 mins to one hour of practice a day. I have been taking lessons from her for about a year and a half. She is a wonderful person, a true joy to be around. I cant say anything negative about her or her teaching and would not be able to give any advice on what she can improve on. Give her a shot, you will be glad you did.

She is the most patient professional I have met. My son has done very well and also loves her. Her teaching style is appropriate and has met all my expectations. Thank you, Joy for adding the dieing art of music to my son's life.

No need to drive around for 20 minutes looking for a spot. Also, the location provides a great excuse to walk to one of the nearby restaurants or pubs while the kids are taking lessons.
