My son has attended piano lessons for almost 5 years. His teacher is very enthusiastic and encouraging during my son's lessons. The teachers put in a lot of effort for the student's recitals for Spring, Halloween and Winter. The prices are reasonable and my son takes his lessons both in person and online. His teacher is very experienced and I have the upmost confidence in her teaching abilities. read more

SoKnow Studio - Musical Instruments & Teachers Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Great small business. Good piano and Japanese class. Their group classes are so fun, they also give a free trial lesson!

Located in the former 99 Ranch Market, SoKnow Studio is a music instruction business catering to children under 10. Offering instruction in piano, guitar, ukulele, drums, singing, and Japanese. As a client for two years, I cannot recommend SoKnow Studio for several reasons. For example, our instructor chose to disclose inappropriate personal information to young impressionable children. Our instructor often canceled lessons last minute "due to illness" and then we would see the instructor out and about. The instructor would forget to reschedule lessons. We've had better experiences elsewhere. read more

This music studio is very impressive with the variety of lessons that they offer! The classrooms are clean and all are air conditioned and very comfortable. We have worked with two instructors and both of them have been very professional, friendly, and have done a fantastic job. This studio is in a very convenient location and there is an extensive food court located in the same building. The lessons are paid online every month to ensure that you continue your weekly lessons without interruption and the prices are very reasonable. I definitely recommend SoKnow music studio whether you're looking for voice lessons, piano lessons, music theory or other types of musical instrument lessons. It's an excellent place to learn! read more

SoKnow Studio - One of the piano rooms - Musical Instruments & Teachers Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

See all

My children technically haven't started their regular class yet. I just wanted to share our experience thus far. The office staff is extremely personable and helpful. They have answered or tried to answer every single question I have thrown their way with professionalism and positivity. My children took a few "try out" classes before we decided what would work for our family and our budget. Even when we had to reschedule their starting date the staff was understanding and accommodating. My children will officially start classes in a couple of days and they are full of excitement. I highly recommend visiting SoKnow and giving them a try. I can not wait to see what this experience does for my children and we are so thankful for such a positive experience this far. As classes progress with my children I will return to update my review. Review on the location: I actually love the location. It is located inside a bigger building that includes a food court, a few other little stores, and HITS. Parking is usually very accommodating unless there is an event at the location and then it's harder to find a spot but not impossible. There are tables located right outside the SoKnow studio for waiting and plenty of places to eat if you're hungry. read more

My daughter attends SoKnow Studio for Japanese language. She needed to transition to conversational Japanese and I found a place that can accommodate this need for her :) I needed specific days and times and they are able to accommodate us! She enjoys her weekly lesson and the price is very reasonable. Her instructor is very friendly and easily approachable and knowledgeable. Once my daughter's schedule is able to fit a music lesson in, I will sign her up for music lessons as I hear and see a lot of quality instruction and outcome(s) from their students. read more

This review is strictly for customer service at the front... I've been wanting to stop by this place since they opened... but I finally had the chance tonight. The young lady at the front (Amanda) was super helpful and patient with my newb questions. She answered them thoroughly and took the time to work with my girls' availability. She also offered to sign up my mini-me's for free trial lessons. *will update review after our trial lesson. Classes offered: Piano, guitar, ukulele, drums, singing, and Japanese. Cost: $30/class (30 minutes) Notables: Offer multi-student discounts - check! Offer make-ups for missed classes - check! Accept credit cards - check! If the instructors are as wonderful as Amanda was with customer service... we will soon become regulars at SoKnow Studio! read more

SoKnow Studio - Studio storefront - Musical Instruments & Teachers Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

I like clean place like here. Teacher is gentle. My daughter likes to come to lesson every weekend.

I've owned a guitar for 15 years and never learned how to play. SoKnow provides me with a couple of different possible guitar teachers, and after about 5 weeks I feel like I'm actually beginning to learn how to play. The front counter staff is great, and the instructors are awesome as well. They provide lessons in Japanese, Guitar, Piano, Ukulele, Violin and a bunch of other instruments that I probably could never learn to play. read more

I came to SoKnow to improve my singing technique. I worked with Ms. Sydney who an incredible vocalist, but more importantly for me, a wonderful instructor. She is very knowledgeable on many areas of music, from theory to performance to industry. I enjoyed the classes immensely, not just for the value of instruction on my vocal technique, but also being able to talk music in general. I had to abruptly end my lessons because of changes to my work and travel schedule but I'll be returning in a few months, and I will be bringing my children. I am very confident you will not only enjoy your experience here, but you will learn a lot and definitely improve. read more

My daughter Joanna had been taking piano lessons from Nina and guitar lessons from Chris for over 2 years. She had a natural gift for music and the two of them were able to foster that raw talent and mold her as they knew how. They stayed current on their music selections and that helped to motivate Joanna into practicing and performing in front of family and friends. She was also motivated enough to perform twice in their recitals for both instruments. Payment was easy enough, I never had a problem with makeup lessons or billing. Amanda who worked in the office and coordinated this was very organized. Music books were available for purchase there, and the Piano Marvel software they used enticed my daughter to practice. I was also very impressed with Chase, the office manager and got to know him on a personal level. I will truly miss stopping by each Sunday and talking with them and Chris and Nina on Joanna's progress. They made it feel like an Ohana. Mahalo for your friendship! I would strongly recommend this studio for your music lessons. They are a class act!! read more

My daughter has been taking lessons for about 2 years now. She started piano when she was 2 1/2 years old and she loves it. The staff is amazing. I've also taken voice lessons. People who are in search of a place where they or their kids can learn the joy of music or the wonders of a second language really need to check this place out. I believe they do trial lessons so take the plunge. Test the waters. You're going to love it!!! read more

I've been taking violin lessons at this studio for a little over a month now, and I feel like I have learned a lot in that short amount of time. If anyone is interested in taking violin lessons; I recommend taking them from Jia Yu at this studio! read more

The prices are competitive. The owners have a passion for teaching music. Great location for young kids picking up an instrument for the first time and for experienced musicians. Highly recommend. read more
