I have got to give Pacific Edge some love! When Kindergarten appeared to be overwhelming my…read moredaughter ("Dad...It's EVERY DAY?!") she asked me about gymnastics, and her work-outs here have become the highlight of her school week. I admit I browsed the mixed reviews here and had my own doubts, and I also sent an email that never got responded to, but this gym deserves a ton of credit, and here are the reasons: For starters, it is a sprawling, well-organized facility divided strategically for toddlers/beginners, advanced, and parental spectators (me). I was really surprised at how big this place was, as you couldn't tell from the outside. To get enrolled, check out their website, or I wish I had just gone in-person from the start to see the gym and ask my questions. Basically, there is a $100 enrollment fee, granting access to their portal to register for classes. They also have their own mobile app to do this. The classes are organized by date, time, and age/ability level - and limited in size. For my 5-year old, the max class size is 5 students, and while that can make it tough if your time slot is filled, it's ideal so the instructor can give your child more attention. Our daughter's coach is great! Giving her a mix of fun, encouragement, and discipline all at the same time. We're not expecting her to become Simone Biles overnight lol, and we're not sure how long this gymnastics phase will last, but it is a joy to see her try new techniques and find pride in her own accomplishments. Thank you, PESA!

She has continued…read morelessons with Mike for little less than 2 years now and we have only good things to say about him. She's able to read notes well now and took part in her elementary school talent competition where she received a lot of positive feedback. She also did her own Guitar Solo Album during Christmas of 2022. When it comes to motivating a young children to play a musical instrument, it takes more than just having knowledge of music. Mike has years of experience dealing with kids and is very passionate about his trade. He's a Berkeley graduate in Music and has helped our daughter expose herself to different genres. We would highly recommend Mike as you "Guitar Teacher of Choice" in Bay Area. He does both online and in person. Our preference has been the latter where he comes to our place in Fremont for lessons.

My daughter (14yo) has been taking lessons from Mr. Ortiz for three years. Prior to that, she had…read moreseven years of lessons. She plays advanced classical repertoire. Mr. Ortiz has many outstanding qualities as a teacher. He pinpoints weaknesses in technique and works closely with students to strengthen their technique. My daughter's technique has improved dramatically. Also, Mr. Ortiz's approach has guided my daughter's independent musicality. He doesn't insist that my daughter play a piece with his interpretation, as I've seen many teachers do. At lessons, he's asked her to play a passage several different ways, and he's shown her other artists' interpretations, then he leaves it up to her. She is fully engaged and invested in not just replicating a piece but in developing her own interpretive style. He has also helped her prepare pieces for festivals and Certificate of Merit, and she has been well prepared. My daughter has been insecure about memorizing, and Mr. Ortiz has helped her develop strategies for securing memory, like analyzing the piece's form and transposing to multiple keys. Lastly, Mr. Ortiz is a kind teacher. It's clear that he enjoys his students. He meets them where they are at. If they don't understand something, he patiently comes at it from a different angle. We think he is a gem in the world of classical piano.
