She is also understanding about the parents needs to change schedules due to other child activities and does her best to provide makeup sessions. I have watched my child grow in their ability to play the piano and reach new milestones in short periods of time.

We are so happy to have found Music Lab Folsom! When our son got serious about drumming, we were…read morelucky to find Music Lab when they first opened in Folsom. His drum teacher is phenomenal. He has such a calm spirit and really has a natural way of teaching. He also has an excellent musical education and background. Our son keeps improving his skills and we owe that to his experience at Music Lab. He also took an interest in guitar and bass. He first started on guitar and then moved to bass lessons. His bass teacher is also incredible. I think he could play and teach just about any instrument. He is very calm and intentional with his lessons. He is another good fit for our son. One of our favorite things about Music Lab, beyond the lessons, are the semi-annual music showcases that they put on for their students and their guests. It's the perfect way to showcase the students' new skills and highlight their growth through the years. The owners, teachers, and staff are all so supportive. Music Lab also puts on great summer camps with fun and talented teachers. Last year, our son did intermediate drum camp, and this year, he tried a musical theater camp. I love that there are so many areas for him to expand his talents! I even got brave and took voice lessons. My teacher was very patient and talented. I learned so much and improved my skills, too. I can't say enough good things about our experience at Music Lab!

Although all of my communications with them have been through text, they have been warm, responsive, and thorough! The violin teacher, Babak, is passionate about teaching and has a great desire to promote a sense of love for music within his students. We are very happy we found this place.

I had an awesome experience at S.P. Music. There are instuctors for all skill levels. I've had…read morelessons for guitar, bass, piano, and vocals over the course of 3 years. There was no shortage of inspiring lessons. I also highly recommend the band lessons for learning to play in groups live. It's great that they are connected with a lot of local venues. I definitely recommend lessons at S.P. Music School and I would take lessons there again.

From the time it was under the B2R umbrella to then becoming an independent music school, the team here ensures a cool yet serious and fun yet focused approach to teaching music. Some facilities (like headphones for kids and better sound proofing can definitely be taken up and I am sure they will eventually be). We'll definitely keep coming here. Cheers!

Robert Aragon is a hidden gem quietly hiding out in the foothills of the Sierras. I went in…read morethinking I was going to brush up on the acoustic guitar I had put down ten years ago, and am now fully engaged in learning music production. I had a few songs I'd written years ago, and Robert is helping me find MY sound and teaching me how to make my songs come alive. He has a vast knowledge of just about every aspect of music: from playing instruments, protecting your copyrighted music, to music production. He has more experience in the music industry that he will initially let on, and he is way undercharging for his services, IMO. He's extremely affordable, thank goodness, (since nothing else out there is affordable right now). If you're wavering, just sign up already. You won't be sorry.

I began taking guitar lessons with Robert about 7 months ago. Week after week, it's been something…read moreI look forward to. He makes every lesson so much fun and is an incredible teacher. He is patient and encouraging, and is so good at adapting each lesson to the student. I am blown away by how far I have come in such a short period of time. I can't recommend him enough! :)

There are many guitar teachers out there, but Stephan knows HOW to teach because of his training and because he is a natural teacher who knows how to connect with his students and they know he believes in them.

He is goal oriented, each lesson is a step to achieving a mutually agreed upon goal. He focuses on those "little things" that make players better, dynamics, space and texture.

Melinda is an amazingly skilled teacher and we are so thankful to be able to work with her! She has…read moretaught my grandsons, ages 7 and 9 via zoom lessons for about two years. She is so fun and her teaching proficiency, professionalism, attention to detail and competency in music amaze me! She has such a great demeanor with the kids. She is encouraging and explains clearly what they should be doing. She goal sets with them and is patient in explaining anything they have trouble with. I love that they are also learning responsibility and time management in addition to piano, rhythm and music theory! I sit with the kids during lessons to make sure they are on task and Melinda can tell (by ear) if they are playing the wrong note and re-direct them. I am very thankful for her as great teachers, in any respect, are hard to come by and she always gives 100%. It is clear she loves people and what she does! I would highly recommend her to anyone interested in learning from the best, even worldwide!

Before this, I had very little music theory and application instruction and I had never had piano or singing lessons.

I highly recommend her!

We've been learning piano with David for over 6 months now. I have 6 year old twins. David is…read morepatient and explains piano so they understand. He uses appropriate materials for the age and challenges them. He takes his time and does not rush them. We were using a different teacher for a year before David, and it wasn't working out - they girls just weren't picking it up. David quickly salvaged the girls music relationship and we are back on track. They are now learning duets. I'm thrilled and would highly recommend.

We were searching for a teacher who did not treat music as a business or "hustle." David is an…read moreexcellent teacher who is passionate about music and cares deeply about his students. He is not watching the clock. He is more interested in the student learning concepts and stresses fundamentals. If the class runs over the allotted time when no one's waiting to go next, he continues and does not charge any more. Instead, his priority is that the student learns. David knows theory and teaching fundamentals. My kids enjoyed their time with him, and we highly recommend him as a teacher. We went to the piano academies and a few others and never found a satisfactory teacher. However, David was the best and my kids were much better for the experience. Finally, one of the reasons we enrolled the kids in piano is that there is a strong link between music and improved performance in math. It should be noted that David has a strong background in physics, so you can imagine how his strength in music theory combined with high patience and superior teaching ability make him an excellent teacher. You can have David forward my number if you need a personal recommendation.
