We decided to give Janet a try with our 10 year old who was getting burned out with years of piano lessons. Her previous teacher was great, but Janet is definitely a better match. My daughter loves her and looks forward to her lessons each week. Plus she you have the option of going to her home (Poway) or having the lessons at your home. Definitely a bonus with our busy schedule to have the luxury of private lessons at home so there's no commute time. We can't be any happier! Janet is so nice and patient. She works with my girl and lets her play modern pieces of her choosing. They also go over important things like theories, scales, and play games to increase her note reading speed. She was highly recommended by my friend, but I can see from all the great reviews on here that she's much loved by others too! read more

Thank YOU Ms. Janet! My daughter has learned SO much and is only 5. You are so very patient and my daughter just adores you! Thank you for giving our girl the gift of music! read more

This review was long pending. Janet's excellent methodology of teaching and her patience for teaching kids says loads about her. She goes with the pace of the student never pushing them too hard or too little (just the right amount ). She is very gentle and my kids (5 and 7) love her! Post COVID also, she has been doing great in the online classes with all the cameras setup nicely to show her view and the piano's view to the students. Feel free to give her a try for your student and you might really get a good teacher! Thanks! read more

Janet and her students made such a memorable impression when they had their musical performance at her wedding! She is a skilled, patient, kind teacher and it would really behoove all parents and students interested in learning piano to approach Janet about lessons. She travels, which is super convenient, but you also have the option of coming to her lovely home as well! read more

It was always my fathers's dream that I learn to play the piano. I crushed that dream when I quit at a young age. The teacher couldn't understand what I wasn't getting. I really wanted to pick up piano again and hopefully someday be able to play like Janet for my father. I can't tell you how happy I am for finding Janet. Her passion and perseverance is what helped motivate me to pick up piano again. She's very organized and plans out our lesson according to what areas I really need work on. She's been working with me and ever so patient when I get frustrated. She really is a gifted piano teacher and I'm so grateful for her! read more

My 8 year old daughter has had 3 piano teacher's. The first two piano teachers my daughter had she complained how boring piano is and wanted to quit. Luckily they both moved out of town which enabled us to find Janet. Janet makes piano lessons enjoyable and she is very patient. I sure hope she doesnt move out of town. read more

My daughters love learning piano from Ms. Janet. They are eager to go to lessons every week and come out of the class with a smile on their face. Ms. Janet makes learning piano fun by letting them pick a popular song along with a classical piece. Her kindness and patience works well for teaching music. read more

My son is 4 years old and I decided to try piano lessons for him. Found Janet just searching online and so glad I did. I remember inquiring by email and she responded right away. I hesitated and didn't reply for a week or two but Janet reached out to me to see if we were still interested unlike other places that I never heard back from. Well so glad we decided to start him with Janet after all. He loves going to Miss Janet's class each week. She is so patient with him and I'm amazed how much he's learned already. Didn't know what to expect from a 4 year old. Janet is professional and great at what she does. My son looks forward to her class with excitement and I get excited watching him improve each time. Thank you so much Janet!! read more

LOVE Janet Triyarn! I was so lucky to have her as my kid's first piano teacher. I knew I couldn't have a strict piano teacher, like the one I had when I was a kid. We were so lucky to have Janet. She's the sweetest person I know. Janet is just excellent teaching children! My daughter loves her and enjoys piano more because of Janet. It doesn't hurt Janet is such an accomplished pianist from UCLA. I'm always proud talking about her to my friends. She is so popular, she was so hard to book to come to my home. Maybe if you go to her studio during the week, she might have some open spot for you. Hurry! read more

Ms. Janet is extremely patient with our daughter. Our daughter would always be looking forward to going to sessions with Ms. Janet. Very attentive and responsive and overall a great teacher. read more

Although I am not one of Janet's students, I was present on some of her piano lessons with her students. Janet is a very talented and patient piano teacher. She incorporates fun into playing piano. Janet's lessons range from classical to hip hop. She develops her student's passion for playing piano by first teaching them the songs that they are interested in and then incorporating complicated piano skills. I've witnessed some of her students playing piano on her wedding day and also got to listen to her play for her husband on their wedding day. She is very confident in her piano skills and is a performer. I think qualities to being a good piano teacher is confidence and a passion for music, both of which Janet possess. So I rate her as a great teacher. read more

Janet played as a guest pianist at a recital my two boys participated in while learning with our teacher, at that time, in Glendale. She was the former student of that teacher. My kids, especially my 4 year old daughter, were mesmerized by her rendition of Frozen's Let It Go. When we moved to the San Gabriel Valley, it was an easy decision to select Janet as our new piano teacher. My two sons have been playing piano since they each turned 5 years old - 5 years for my oldest and 4 years for my second. In that time, we've had four piano teachers, with Janet being the most recent. Of them, Janet is the most patient and gentle. While the three other teachers had more formal teaching methods, which my boys responded well to, Janet was able to tap into something much deeper. She understands children and tries to foster a love for not only the piano, but for music. She incorporates the standard/classic piano pieces - based on level - with music that actually interest my kids (Star Wars, Geometry Dash, etc). I often find the kids playing on the piano during their free time - and for kids to pass up the iPad, PC, or even TV... that says A LOT! When we started with Janet, my daughter also started learning piano (turned 5). It was such an easy sell - we simply told her the Frozen pianist was going to be her teacher. Done! My three children look forward to their lessons every week. read more

She uses her talent to motivate students to learn and also gives them a lifetime of memory with the music. She truly cares for each of her students and makes sure that they enjoy their lessons and succeed with their piano education. I highly recommend Janet for anyone who would like to learn to play the piano. read more

Miss Janet is my daughter first piano teacher. She is 5 years old now and has never learn any musical instruments before. She had her first lesson ( free trial ) with Miss Janet in Feb 2017 and we all like Miss Janet. She is very patient and kind. My daughter loves playing piano very much now. She is so excited and enjoy her piano class every week. With only 30 minutes a week, I am surprised to see her progress in last few months. She can play many songs now and most importantly, she loves practicing piano everyday. Thank you very much. read more

Janet is a great piano teacher. My son has learned so much in such a short time. Very patient and makes learning fun.

My 11 year old daughter has been playing piano since she was four years old. She started with lessons in a classroom setting, then transitioned to private lessons at home. Last year, her private instructor was unable to continue coming as he was pursuing his PhD and time would not allow for it. We were very concerned about finding somebody to teach her that she would have just as good a rapport with. Fortunately, I found Miss Janet. She has been an excellent teacher for my daughter who feels very comfortable with her and has continued to pick up right where she left off with her previous instructor. Miss Janet is punctual, professional, and very good with my daughter. She has excellent experience and is comfortable teaching many different types of piano, both classical and contemporary. I highly recommend her for private lessons for any family. read more

Janet is a wonderful piano teacher. My daughter is greatly enjoying learning from her. She makes the lessons fun and engages the interest of her students, which can be difficult especially with teenagers. From my past experience, the music teacher can make or break the student's desire and motivation to learn and continue their music lessons. Janet is a great teacher and we are so glad we found her. She would be a wonderful teacher for any age. read more

I was Janet's first piano student, over 10 years ago. She did not have a studio then. But she would come over to my house to teach with my piano on a weekly basis, sometimes I would go over to hers. Janet has a strong passion for piano, music, and teaching. She has a degree based on her passion, from UCLA. She's extremely patient with all her students, no matter what level you may be. She has great attention to detail and will plan out or customize the lesson around areas you need to work on, or interested in learning. Not only is she great with kids, but she teaches adults too. My dad took lessons with her as well, to brush up on his piano skills. He loved it! I would highly recommend Janet for anyone of all ages interested in learning how to play the piano. read more

Both of my children love going to Ms. Janet for their piano lessons. They love her gentle yet firm method of teaching that they are willing to practice their music pieces everyday! Ms. Janet respects their input and she goes extra mile to make piano learning meaningful for my children. We are so glad that we found the best piano teacher in San Diego! read more

I'd like to thank Janet Triyarn for her patience and understanding as I challenged my self to learn playing the piano. It's tough being a first- time learner but Janet's thorough knowledge and natural talent on the piano made it seem easy and bearable. She will follow- up on your progress constantly and kind enough to supply you with necessary resources to guide you in your learning. Above all else, she is probably one of the most humble persons I've met! I assure you or your loved ones will have a rewarding and fulfilling experience with her! Thank you Janet and hoping for more beautiful music! read more
