My son and daughter have been taking piano lessons here for nearly a year. The setup at this studio…read moreis that parents wait outside in the waiting room while the children go in with the teacher. There are cameras in the lesson rooms, but parents do not have access to them, only the business owner does. Occasionally, I would sit in with my children, but later I was asked to remain in the waiting room as the teacher felt the kids distracted each other. Recently, a very concerning incident occurred. My son told me that during his lesson, his teacher showed him an image to demonstrate "good posture." When he first described it to me, I wasn't sure what kind of picture it was, and I initially gave the teacher the benefit of the doubt. However, when I later asked Miss Lee (the owner) and the teacher to show me the same image, I was shocked to see what it was. The picture had no real connection to piano playing or posture and, in my opinion, was completely inappropriate in the given context, especially considering it was shown to my son alone in a room with his male teacher. To be clear, the photo itself was not offensive on its own. What made this troubling was the context and lack of relevance to piano instruction. I felt it crossed a boundary of professionalism. I brought this issue directly to both the owner and the teacher on Friday, August 29th, and was told that it would be reviewed with their board. I am sharing this so that other parents are fully informed about the environment and practices here. Every parent has the right to decide what they are comfortable with for their child's lessons, and for me, this situation raised serious concerns.

I have had both my young sons attend for lessons here for almost two years now. I've had nothing…read morebut wonder experiences with all staff there. Nick was my son's piano instructor and he was absolutely brilliant and patient. My son has learned so much going once a week with Nick. I saw nothing but professionalism with my son. I recommend this place to all colleagues and friends with children. You can see how talented the instructors are and how well the children learn and grow from watching the performances every year. My son grew so confident thanks to Nick who encouraged him so much. As parents, you could most definitely sit-in on with your child during lessons. It's a choice you make as a parent to wait in the lobby is sit with your child. There are cameras in every classroom. It feels safe and comfortable environment. That has been my own personal experience here.

Where Creativity Blooms Year-Round…read more Stay Gallery isn't just a gallery; it's a greenhouse where artistry and imagination sprout wings and take flight. From the moment you step in, it's like someone turned the color and creativity dials up to eleven. For the kiddos, the art classes aren't just afterschool activities; they're voyages into the land of the right-brain, where Picasso and Frida Kahlo would high-five them for their masterpieces. Teens and adults, fear not--you too can dip your brushes into the fountain of youth (or at least feel like it) in classes that might just reveal your inner Van Gogh. Local and emerging artists find a home here, a stage where their work doesn't just hang; it performs a ballet for your eyeballs. The exhibitions? They're not just shows; they're full-blown art revolutions, showcasing the freshest talent from the neighborhood and beyond. Stay Gallery is like the cool art teacher you always wished for--encouraging, inspiring, and never judging your wonky still-life sketches. Every season brings new classes, meaning there's always an excuse to keep coming back, whether it's to refine those brush strokes or just soak in some culture. So whether you're a budding artist or a seasoned connoisseur, Stay Gallery has the palette to paint your passion all kinds of happy. Now, go put on that smock and let the world see your true colors!

It's a really fun night and something different to do in San Diego. For either a girls night out, date night, private party or group outing like we did, I highly recommend it!

Now that they are once again hosting guided tours, I visited it with my husband and a friend visiting town.

The center has a gallery and we were about to see some art works by local artists as well.
