I googled him & lo and behold not only was he still around but he had his own shop! In San Dimas!!

I highly recommend! :D - a couple before & after pics:

When one teacher wasn't the right fit, the staff was flexible and supportive in helping us make a change. The director and front desk are thoughtful, accommodating, and always focused on what's best for the students. Recently, my daughter switched to cello and absolutely loves it--her teacher, Jasper, is genuine, respectful, and makes learning the cello feel relaxed despite its challenges. Recitals are fun, and we're so happy with the program and its affordability that we plan to enroll our other kids in piano group lessons for music theory. We'll update this review then!

Every guitar, every amplifier, keyboard etc.. was well organized, price tags were clearly visible, well-stocked and properly displayed throughout the store. Stores employees were extremely friendly and professional and efficient.

With the big selection of bass guitars, amps and great pricing, I am tempted to return this coming week to purchase my bass guitar and amp so I can be a rock star :) Great and positive shopping experience

I…read moredon't push my daughter to play the piano or practice and I don't care how quickly she learns so she is totally free to make this her own thing. She however, has learned enough to perform. She's performed at a venue before the pandemic and now she's performed online. This has given her so much more confidence. It is such a delight to hear her play and I know she enjoys it because I never made her. I know however, that some parents expect a certain measure of practical piano progress in their children and if you're looking for that, Michelle is great! She works with kids to help them practice on their own and assigns light homework to keep them directed. Michelle offers online instruction and also in-home instruction but with very strict infection control regulations. She is very cautious and cares about not spreading disease. That is why we choose online instruction. It's easy and is still totally effective! Thank you, Michelle for all that you do!
