I've been taking lessons with Will for over a year now, and I can honestly say it's been one of the…read morebest decisions I've made. From the very beginning, Will asked what type of music I actually wanted to learn, and that made all the difference. It never felt like a one-size-fits-all experience; it felt personal. Will is incredibly patient, the kind of teacher who never makes you feel rushed or discouraged, no matter where you are in your learning journey. And watching him play? It's an absolute joy. There's something truly inspiring about learning from someone who clearly loves what they do. One thing I truly can't stress enough is how much he emphasizes proper hand positioning. It might seem like a small detail, but it makes a world of difference, and Will makes sure you get it right from the start. By the end of my first year, I had grown confident enough to perform in my very first recital. I've stood in front of people before through my career, but picking up a guitar and performing was a completely different experience, and Will's guidance is what got me there. If you're looking for a guitar teacher who is patient, personable, and genuinely invested in your progress, Will is your guy. Highly recommended! Thanks Appolllo

I highly recommend Will. He teaches guitar both online via Zoom and at his current location in the…read moreSacramento area. With Will's very effective Zoom lessons, you can take lessons from anywhere!! I have been taking acoustic guitar lessons via Zoom with Will for 3 years. I previously dealt with many music instructors for my kids, and I wish I had found Will when they were doing lessons. Will is the most patient and excellent instructor, and there is always an important and significant purpose and goal to what he is teaching. He is very experienced both academically and practically. He also teaches me vocal accompaniment and music theory. The Zoom lessons actually work extremely well and I have not found the need to have the lessons in person. I bought a nice Blue Yeti microphone for my laptop for higher sound quality for the listener when I am playing via Zoom.

My daughter had the pleasure of having Valerie Alfonso as her piano teacher for the past five…read moreyears, and has been an excellent experience. Starting lessons at the age of 7, my daughter has gained confidence with performing in front of an audience, reading music and has an overall appreciation for music all thanks to Valerie's incredible teaching. From the very beginning, Valerie created a welcoming and nurturing environment that made learning fun and engaging (throughout Covid, too). Her patience and dedication, while also tailoring the experience to each of her students is unmatched. She provided just the right amount of challenge (and encouragement) to my daughter for her to move outside of her comfort zone and learn how to play the more complex pieces of music. Valerie not only excels in connecting with children, she makes each lesson enjoyable while at the same time instilling a strong foundation in music theory and technique. The recitals and performances organized by Valerie are always well-prepared, and each comes with a fun theme -- doing so makes the feelings of nervousness a student may be feeling (especially their first recital) lessened because Valerie doesn't put unnecessary pressure on her students and continually cultivates an environment of creativity and fun. I am immensely grateful for the positive impact that Valerie has had on my daughter's musical journey. It is because of the foundation Valerie created and cultivated over the last five years that my daughter felt the confidence to register for the middle school band. If you're looking for a piano teacher who is not only highly skilled but also kind, encouraging and passionate about teaching, look no further than Valerie Alfonso. Thank you Valerie, for five wonderful years of music education and memories!

Perhaps the biggest perk with Alec is that he does in home lessons! A huge time saver. Highly recommended.

As an adult beginner, starting piano felt intimidating but working with Alec has been one of the…read moremost rewarding decisions I've ever made. I've been taking lessons with him for over a year now, and I can't say enough about his patience, encouragement, and unique ability to make each lesson both fun and challenging. He doesn't let me coast, he pushes me just enough to grow, and yes, I do sweat through my lesson! But that's exactly why I've progressed so much. My husband, who took piano lessons for years as a child, recently told me that I already play better than he ever did. What I appreciate most is that Alec believes in me. He helps me chase my childhood dreams, no matter my age and makes me believe they're within reach. If you're thinking about learning piano--whether you're young or just young at heart--I highly recommend him.

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!

Jacob is patient, passionate, and truly gifted at working with kids.

The multiple recitals each year are beautifully organized and give students meaningful performance experience. We've referred over a dozen family members and friends to Jacob, and every one of them has been impressed. It's also always a special treat when he performs one of his own pieces at recitals -- his talent really inspires the students. We're so grateful for everything he's done for our children.
