I can't say enough about what an incredible instructor Sarah is. She took my daughter as a student…read moreat two and a half (you read that correctly, see the picture attached). Aside from it being amazing she was willing to teach a two and a half year old, she made it fun, she made it engaging and she planted a seed of love for music and specifically piano in my daughters life that we will forever be grateful for. Now my daughter asks to play the piano on the weekends and after school as a "treat"... she makes up her own songs and looks for new things to play- all on her own. Sarah is not only great at engaging children but she is a master at her craft and she is always learning and growing herself, taking classes, performing, going to workshops. As Sarah invests in herself she continues to bring new and innovative tools for her students. I personally took piano as a child for about 5 years and I wish Sarah could have been my teacher, I'm sure I would have had a much different relationship with the piano and music had she been. I have highly recommended Sarah to family and friends and will continue to do so.

Working with Ms. Kerobyan has been a great pleasure! As an adult student coming back to the violin…read moreand reworking the foundations, it has been a big challenge to get over my nerves, to get used to the instrument again after ~10 years off, and to unlearn my old habits-- Ms. Kerobyan has been instrumental through this process by not only coaching me with her meticulous attention to detail to rebuild a more solid technical foundation, but also by nurturing my confidence as a violinist. Needless to say, it has been an incredibly rewarding and highly collaborative experience that has impacted and enriched my life beyond the classroom. I truly appreciate the opportunity that I have now to take violin lessons with Ms. Kerobyan, and I would recommend her as a teacher for young and adult learners alike-- her level of dedication to both music and teaching is very rare, and I feel fortunate to have come across her studio.

Our family appreciates Ms. Ann's guidance on our musical journey. I have two children who are…read morepassionate about music. My son became interested in the violin at age 8 while we were living in San Diego. After moving to the Bay Area, we were fortunate to find Ms. Ann, who demonstrates how an exceptional teacher can unlock a student's potential. Her teaching techniques and fundamentals are strong; she excels in those areas. What truly sets her apart is her remarkable ability to inspire my children to develop a deep connection to music and foster a positive attitude toward learning. The month after switching to Ms. Ann's studio, my son struggled to correct the posture he had developed in the past. Ms. Ann offered creative ways to help him improve his posture during this transition and also checked on him frequently. When the goal of daily practice became challenging, Ms. Ann communicated effectively with both children and parents, motivating the kids to try their best. My son's skills and confidence improved week by week, and he has grown into a proud young musician who cherishes music as a joyful part of his life. My son said, "Ms. Ann is caring and loving. She emphasizes the artistry behind the techniques. She is always fully engaged in my lessons and provides valuable feedback. She makes challenges fun." Ms. Ann also organizes recitals, mini-concerts, and workshops to help the kids gain stage experience. She prepares them for competitions or exams if they wish to participate, but only when they are ready. Her philosophy of sharing the love of music distinguishes her from many others. She teaches my kids not to pursue achievements for their own sake but to enjoy and share their passion for music; the results will follow naturally. My younger daughter started lessons with Ms. Ann later, and I was impressed by how she customized and organized her lessons. Ms. Ann thoughtfully personalizes her approach, adjusting the curriculum to suit my daughter's unique personality. My daughter has gone from being shy about performing on stage to being excited to share her music with the world. She said, "Ms. Ann is incredibly warm and encouraging; she explains everything clearly so I can easily understand. She always believes in me!" I have attended my children's lessons and observed how patiently and persistently Ms. Ann discusses areas for improvement. She guides them in overcoming difficulties and helps them learn from mistakes, even when they feel frustrated. My kids have not only learned to play the violin beautifully but also developed a growth mindset. They understand that hard work pays off and have learned to manage their time and practice effectively. It is rare to find a teacher who not only instructs students on how to play an instrument but also serves as a true mentor, imparting valuable principles applicable to both music and other subjects. As my husband said, "Ms. Ann is like Yoda in the realm of violin pedagogy." We believe the lessons she has taught our children will become treasures they carry with them throughout their lives.

She uses different ways to describe hand movements and different concepts so that a 6 year old is able to understand. She taught my daughter to count a half-beat as "pi-zza" so we pizza pizza through the whole song. She encourages my daughter to participate in recitals and competitions, but never pushes. Participating was a great motivator to practice. My daughter always feels proud when she finishes each recital and receives her trophy. Each of her accomplishments is celebrated by us and her most wonderful teacher. We also love Virtuoso Music Studio. The waiting area fulls of new books and the kids love getting HI-CHEW candies and stickers when they finish their lessons. The principal Ernest is a great violinist. He truely cares about the studio and is very attentive to details, such as the decor and making sure restroom is very clean.We love learning music here.

My daughter has been taking cello classes with Ms Zoe for about a month. My daughter didn't have…read moreprior experience with the instrument, but had two years of experience playing the viola at her school. Ms Zoe creatively adapts her teaching to help my daughter draw relationships between viola and cello. It really helped my daughter master the basics fairly quickly. Instead of being strict on sticking to one learning pathway, Ms Zoe encourages my daughter to bring her school pieces and ask questions. One thing that my daughter really likes about Ms Zoe is that she plays along with the student. It's very encouraging to my daughter, and it makes her feel that the teacher is in this with her. My daughter really enjoys Ms Zoe's classes. I also would to share my experience with the studio. The service was excellent! The studio was able to put me in touch with Ms Zoe pretty quickly. There are many classrooms in the studio, and they're well maintained. Virtuoso also has a strong team of teachers teaching various instruments. We're very happy to have such great music studio in our community. I highly recommend this place!

We are grateful for that, but if I look at what she really developed, at the top of my list are life-long skills that are valuable way beyond her musical abilities. Through high expectations, enthusiasm, and trust in her students, Gala helps them build confidence, tenacity, and resilience. She successfully inspired my daughter to join the flute choir and to participate in the many, top quality master classes, hosted by the Orange Music Studio. Through her network, Gala provides students with unique opportunities to learn from world class musicians in small, interactive settings where they can advance their skills and be inspired. Now in college studying biology, my daughter continues to enjoy her instrument and plays regularly at the music department for fun. The flute is part of who she is, and music is one of her greatest joys. There are no words to properly thank Gala and the Orange Music Studio for the role that they played in my daughter's formative years.

Toby is always flexible with scheduling, willing to accommodate any unexpected changes. After each lessons, she provides helpful weekly practice instructions for the kids to follow.

She offers a variety of music for the kids to choose from and is a talented musician who composes and performs. I appreciate that Toby goes above and beyond by teaching my kids how to compose using Garage Band and letting them try out her synthesizer when they want to explore beyond just playing the piano.
