I can't believe I've waited this long to shout out Mr. Goran, who's been an absolute treasure in instructing my daughter on the viola. My girl, bless her introverted heart, dipped her toes into viola in middle school in 2021. By the spring of 2022, she wanted to level up her skills, but finding the right teacher was a saga. None of the recommendations from her school panned out, until fate stepped in when I spotted a sign for in-home music lessons, and the rest is history. Two years on, and I couldn't be happier with Mr. Goran's impact. Sure, my daughter's still a bit shy on stage, but behind the scenes, her progress is something to behold. She's heading to high school soon and even talking about auditions for the advanced orchestra - all thanks to Mr. Goran's attention and encouragement. I enjoy listening to her practice and as someone who doesn't read music or play any instruments, I am glad to have Mr. Goran visit every week and amazed at her transformation. What's great about Mr. Goran is his friendly demeanor and stellar communication. He understands kids - especially awkward teens like mine--no fuss, no drama - just pure dedication to his craft and his students. Finally, the fact that he comes to our home to teach the lesson is such a blessing. I have 2 other kids who have other activities so between soccer, volleyball, swimming, and Boys/Girl Scouts.... we don't have a lot of time to drive around because we do that a lot already. This is one less trip! This school's dedication to meeting kids where they are: mentally and physically is a true gem! Seriously, if you're on the hunt for an awesome music teacher, Mr. Goran's your guy - I can't recommend him enough! read more

At The Private Lesson School, my 11-year-old daughter, who is very shy, discovered her passion for music, thanks to Ms. Lilly, her first violin teacher, and Mr. Goran, who now teaches her both violin and piano. Mr. Goran, the owner, goes above and beyond, excelling in communication and inspiring positivity. My daughter eagerly awaits her lessons, as they offer personalized instruction at home, ideal for shy learners like her. She began last June, and under Ms. Lilly's guidance, she shone at her first recital, greatly boosting her confidence. When Ms. Lilly became busy, Mr. Goran graciously took her on as his personal student, even teaching her piano. Now, after just months, she's mastering both instruments. Mr. Goran's Easter performance with her in front of our family showcased their dedication. We're immensely grateful for their exceptional teaching and support. Private Lesson School is top-notch and highly recommended for anyone seeking quality music education. This is my first Yelp review because I want everyone to know that children can thrive at their own pace, in the comfort of home, with the best music teachers. Forever thankful for this fantastic discovery! I wish I had known them sooner, then my daughter could have started learning music earlier. read more

The Private Lesson School - The best performance in front of family! - Private Tutors Near Me

Our girls have been taking guitar lessons for the past few months. They thoroughly enjoy the lessons. The teacher is very patient and engaging and they are learning so much. He also gives updates regarding their progress as well. The convenience of the lessons being in home is a big plus. Reasonable price for in home lessons as well. read more

We chose The Private Lesson School because it is so convenient to have in-home lessons. Mr. Goran is our instructor for violin. Mr Goran's enthusiasm is contagious and he has such a gift for working with young children and has taken my 6 year old and 8 year old from no experience to both quickly learning songs and performing in a recital in about 5-7 lessons each. At the recital we were able to listen to several students playing and meeting other teachers. All of the students were taught very well and had great relationships with their individual instructors. I highly recommend choosing The private lesson school!! read more

My 5 and 10-year-old sons have been getting piano lessons from Goran for several months now in our home in Upland, on our own piano. He's an amazing teacher, and both boys are learning extremely quickly. Goran is passionate about music, his students, and his business. I couldn't imagine a better teacher for the two. There are not many people that can keep up with the energy of two young boys, but he does it easily by connecting and engaging with them. My boys are flying through their music book, reading music, and playing songs independently. They can't wait until their next lesson! He gets them excited about music. On top of being a great teacher, Goran is great at communication. He sends us a video of the boys at the end of each lesson, showing off their improvement. When we needed to move a lesson, he worked with us to accommodate them. I don't leave reviews on Yelp often (usually, it's when I'm frustrated with a service), but I had to stop and leave one here. We will definitely be continuing this school's services for years to come! read more

I am so pleased to have found a music school whose teacher has been coming to teach my two daughters piano for the past 3 months in the comforts of my own home.

My daughter has taken private music lessons for 7 years and this school is, by far, the best one we've been with. Teachers at other schools were unprofessional or the staff was not pleasant to interact with. The staff at The Private Lesson School is always professional, prompt, and super friendly! She takes violin lessons with Ms. Mandy and she has grown so much. My daughter looks forward to her weekly lessons and makes it a point to practice because she doesn't want to let Ms. Mandy down! Ms. Mandy has been a great influence on her abilities and confidence and also exposed her to experiences that no other teacher has even attempted. I really can't express how much we appreciate her coming and being her teacher. Talk to Mr. Goran for a trial lesson. You won't regret it! read more

We are truly grateful to this school for helping ignite our kids' passion for music! read more

Our 8 year-old son recently said he wanted to learn violin so we started lessons with a local teacher someone referred. However, after just a few lessons we could tell it was not a compatible match. Our son has an abundance of energy which his previous teacher did not see as a strength. I came across The Private Lesson School on Yelp and that is where his world of violin truly started. I read through the website and saw literally what I envisioned for my child's musical journey. Our son plays piano as well but piano was something we introduced to him versus for violin, he specifically asked to learn it. The teachers with The Private Lesson School are all dedicated to teaching each student with individualized lesson plans with positivity. They aim to motivate the child/student to not strive for "perfection" but to enjoy and learn at the same time! Lessons are at your home which is so convenient. Our son has 30-minute lessons, and it is such a treat to see him learning, to be excited and engaged, and to have his passion for violin fed. His teacher is VERY attentive, encouraging, positive, and is so sweet to have taken the time to get to know our son. Not to mention, I appreciate how our son's teacher sees our son's energy as a positive thing and uses that to make the most of each lesson! I love how our son's teacher let him know they will take breaks during lesson, but invited our son to decide what they will do during breaks (to work on math problems lol) which shows that our son truly has his voice while learning. I feel that music is therapeutic and touches us in different ways. Teachers have the ability to mentor and motivate us. Having the right teacher who can guide your child with attention and care to play an instrument to inspire oneself and/or touch others is more than we can hope for. I cannot wait to see how this journey goes and look forward to when our son will play at the next recital! Thank you, The Private Music Lesson School! We love you! read more

Very happy. My 9yr old has been taking lessons for about 3 months and loves it. Great teacher, very professional!

My 6-year-old daughter has been taking private piano lessons for a little over a year. Her instructor is amazing and knows exactly how to motivate and cultivate her growth as a musician. My daughter absolutely loves it and looks forward to her lessons every week. Within one year she is able to read sheet music and play entire songs. She has learned so much and has gained a lot of confidence in her abilities that positively affect her outside of music as well! She's more focused, engaged, and ready to take on difficult challenges! The lessons are affordable and definitely worth it. I would recommend this music school to anyone who like me doesn't have time to take them to a class and wants the class to come to them. read more

My kids are currently taking lessons with an incredible, energetic and enthusiastic teacher from this school! Our instructor comes to our house and makes learning piano ridiculously fun.
