I am very very sure whoever comes to her with a will to learn, she will give nothing but her best to teach that person.

I can strongly recommend Denise as a violin teacher from the perspective of an adult student. I…read morestarted taking violin lessons in my late 50's, and I can be quite picky about whom I trust as teachers. Denise wasn't my first violin instructor, but she is by far the most knowledgeable and creative one I have ever met. She has been my teacher for the past 3.5 years. For each of her students, she customizes the lessons so that they develop under firm but positive guidance. She helps students of all levels meet their goals and also to set new ones. I would ask endless questions, and Denise would answer them thoughtfully, often drawing on her deep understanding of music theory, violin techniques, composers' styles and music history. So I learned way, way more than just how to play the fiddle with her! Denise is passionate about helping students reach their potential and to teach them *to play music,* not just to play notes.

My 13-year old daughter has been taking lessons with Dr. Chevalier for over a month now, and I've…read morebeen sitting in. I am over-the-moon happy with our decision to study with her! As a classically-trained musician since my childhood, I've seen many music teachers, both for myself and for my daughter, and Dr. Chevalier is one of the best, perhaps the best. Here's what I love about her teaching: * She focuses on musicality. Dr. Chevalier is always pushing my daughter to listen actively, to hear more nuance in others' performances, and to develop the ability to express subtle musical ideas. * She focuses on music that motivates the student. My daughter expressed her love for the Bruch violin concerto, which is far beyond her current skill. Rather than tell her so, Dr. Chevalier is encouraging her to work on the first page, to build those skills she needs, and she's also introducing other more basic music to work on, connecting them musically to parts of the Bruch to motivate working on them. * She has high standards, and she's patient. Dr. Chevalier doesn't give up when my daughter doesn't quickly get the idea she's presenting, but she also stays patient, trying to communicate subtle ideas in multiple ways to get them across. * She's kind. My daughter is quite sensitive, and she can be find negative feedback demotivating. Dr. Chevalier told me early on that she never says anything negative to her students and I thought she must be exaggerating. But so far, it's true. She's only been super kind to my daughter. * She's thoughtful and clever. Here's an example: to motivate her students to practice, she has them post practice logs on the wall of her studio. Her students look at each others' logs, and they do compare, giving each motivation to impress the rest. I'm so grateful we found Dr. Chevalier and I'm looking forward to years more of my daughter studying with her!

We are Redwood City residents who have been part of the California Conservatory of Guitar since…read moreit's inception. It has grown from the main school in Santa Clara to Redwood City too! Not driving to Santa Clara for private lessons with our teacher on weekdays is awesome. Both our sons have been taking weekly lessons since a young age and love coming for them. They are in book 6 and 9 now and progressing well. The teachers are dedicated, active classical guitar professionals themselves and great role models in the musical journeys of their students. Kids have developed personal relationships with their teachers over the years. Santa Clara location hosts group lessons, ensembles or recitals on weekends for students of both locations. I do recommend these for the all-around musical development of the kids and it encourages socializing with peers. Overall, kudos and high recommendation for California Conservatory of Guitar program if your son or daughter is interested in classical guitar. Learning any musical instrument is not easy so picking good teachers for the journey is important along with parental support and commitment.

We heard about Elena from a friend who also sent their kids here. My 7 year old has been learning…read morepiano with Elena for about 2 years since then. I really appreciate how patient Elena is to young kids. My son has enjoyed his lesson tremendously and has grown a lot since then. Elena has a great selection of songs that are not only age and level appropriate but also sound beautiful. She takes her time to teach him music theory, improve his technique and most importantly build up his love for music. We don't have to ask him practice piano at home, but he'd rather play piano to us because he's so excited to show us his new songs, or to show us his progress, which is a beautiful thing to see. He doesn't just learn piano at Elena, I can also see him learning how to be focused, patient, how to deal with frustration when he can't play certain part of a song well, how to not give up, how to keep showing up and practicing. I can't put into words how much we appreciate Elena for teaching him all of that. Thank you so much, Elena!

My wife and I have been taking lessons with Danielle for a little over a year. It's difficult to…read moreoverestimate the level of impact she has had on both our musicianship as well as our love for music. I've struggled with singing my whole life, and have tried a handful of teachers. Danielle is the first teacher who I felt was, even after just our first lesson, able to express the issues I'm dealing with as well as the solutions (almost always vowels, enunciation, and breathing) She's also gentle in her feedback and doesn't make me feel bad about not being perfect. I was worried about continuing our vocal instruction after COVID hit, but Danielle has gone above and beyond with going digital, upgrading her setup so we can hear her more clearly and recording tracks that we can both practice along with and sing along with during lessons (to avoid Zoom lag). Lastly, I feel like Danielle cares about us as people. She is always great about checking in about things we've talked about outside of music. Just an altogether good person and a pleasure to be around. I can't recommend her enough!

My daughter has been seeing Danielle for about 6 months now. Although we haven't been able to go at…read moreregular intervals, her progress has been amazing. She's now 12 and we've noticed such an improvement in her dictation, pronunciation, volume and clarity. She really has become a much better singer. As a parent what I like about Danielle is her positive vibe and constant positivity. I couldn't imagine a more positive influence on my daughters growth as a singer. Consequently it's not all about signing either. She's beginning to recognize changes to her normal speech which will benefit her whether she continues to sing or not. All in all, I can't imagine taking my daughter anywhere else where she'd benefit as much as she is with Danielle. I highly recommend anyone interested in singing or public speaking lessons give Danielle a call and set up a lesson!
