His prices for tuning the piano is very reasonable and he takes his time. He took nearly 2 hours and didn't charge anymore but I felt bad so I provided a little more for his time. A major plus for me was he came a few minutes early for the 9:30 am appointment. Upon completion he played a couple of pieces which were amazing! He did mention that the piano was definitely out of tune since it's been 3 years. We discussed the possibility of me taking lessons from him since the piano doesn't get played as much since our daughter will be studying abroad. Based on his pieces he played, I am even more interested! If you are in the area I highly recommend John for your tuning. I will add a review once I start my piano lessons!

I was looking for a piano teacher in the Murrieta area and saw that Lebaron's studio has good yelp…read morereviews, so I arranged a piano class for my 6 YO son. My son only had one class with Ms. Violet because she could not accommodate our preferred time and schedule - which I had a choice to do so, and we have other extracurricular activities other than piano. I found another piano teacher that could. Ms. Violet graciously wished us well on my son's music journey. Ms. Karine, on the other hand, is a bitter person. She hounded me and left threatening voicemails for nonpayment of the one session/ class ($53 only!!!), which, by the way, I paid later. I initially asked Ms. Violet via text if she wanted me to drop off the one-class payment, but I didn't get a response. They both needed to coordinate the mode of payment, which was a misunderstanding. Ms. Violet prefers cash, while the other wants me to pay through Zelle (sounds fishy...) I was shocked and in total disbelief at how unprofessional and demeaning are the messages and VM of Ms. Karine's. She is a different person from the older reviews I read and from my experience with her. I suggest you do a one-trial session first with the studio to see if your child matches the teacher's teaching style. Piano class isn't cheap, and you should get what you pay for. There are plenty of music teachers in the area that are leveraging technology in teaching music, e.g., reading notes and scales, ear training, and music composition. Why do I know? My 9-year-old son have been a CA state honor awardee in piano since he was 6 YO. Technology has made him independent in learning piano skills and theory. Lebaron studio's teaching method is old-fashioned and still uses notebooks and manual writing for note identification and homework. I'm not against the old style of teaching if that works for you; however, in this day and age, I prefer my kids to be to use technology to be more self-reliant. As for the son's comment, he mentioned he sometimes couldn't understand what the teacher was saying.

My son has been taking piano lessons since Feb 2013. Since he started very young at 3 and a half…read moreyears old, our goals were to just let him enjoy the piano, and build a foundation in music that would hopefully cultivate a lifelong love and skill. We expressed our wishes keep it light and fun so he would love learning. My philosophy is that the earlier we integrated music in his life, the more natural it would be for him to continue as long as we go at his pace. I'm not a tiger mom when it comes to piano. We definitely do not push him faster than he enjoys. So some lessons are slower than others, and that's ok with me. Having said that, my tyke has picked up piano quickly, responded positively to Ms. Karine's fun lessons, and has a super solid foundation in technique (proper finger digit curved piano hands to prevent injury) He did his first piano recital June 2013 which he loved. After 10 months of lessons, he was able to sight read and plays the first octave notes (Treble clef: C through G, and Base clef: C through F) I think that is pretty remarkable for a 4 yr old. and speaks volumes about Ms. Karine's teaching abilities. We are very happy with his progress. His journey hasn't always been smooth, which is to be expected when learning a new skill. Overall, he has consistently moved forward despite little ups and downs along the way.

I've had the opportunity to hear Janet play piano and have also experienced her teaching, so I've…read moreseen firsthand what a patient, warm, and encouraging instructor she is. Janet plays piano beautifully, and you can really tell how passionate she is about music. She's extremely knowledgeable and has such a natural way of teaching and explaining things. What I especially appreciate about her is how patient she is. She takes her time, makes people feel comfortable, and creates an environment where learning feels fun rather than intimidating. She's also incredibly friendly, caring, and welcoming, which I think is so important in a teacher, especially when someone is learning something new. Her beautiful home provides such a comfortable and inviting setting as well. Between Janet's talent on the piano, her passion for music, and the patience and kindness I've personally experienced from her as an instructor, I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a piano teacher. Five stars!

I booked a consultation with Sal hoping for some pointers and confidence to get through one karaoke song on a cruise. I explained that I'm terrible and not looking for a career, just a little guidance to keep from freezing on stage. He insisted that I might actually be good (and I again told him I'm not) and said he would assess my potential during the consultation. Sal stopped me one minute into the first singing exercise and said I didn't have what it takes to be a singer [agreed]. What was especially disappointing, though, was that he told me not to get on stage because it would "hurt people's ears" or cause people to leave. He didn't charge me, which I appreciate, but I left feeling deflated. Two stars instead of one because the five minutes spent there were free, but it still cost me a hit to my confidence for the cruise. I really wish he had listened to everything I told him I was looking for over the phone so we could have avoided wasting both his time and mine.

What he does not have, however, are healthy relationship skills or communication skills. He becomes cruel when things don't go his way. He made me uncomfortable numerous times during lessons when he would criticize other students to me. This past Sunday, I told him that I was ready to quit lessons after it became very clear to me that I did not have enough time to be at his studio 4-6 hours per week. I explained to him my husbands frustrating work situation and my lack of childcare. I also just received news that a family member has cancer and told Sal I would need to take a trip to see this family member soon, and that would also take away from my time at his studio. He always told me during my lessons that if I ever feel that I don't have the time to let him know because he does not want to waste my time or his. So, I let him know. He responded by calling me stupid, calling me a liar, and he said I have no talent and no future, (which is hilarious because he has told me time and time again how incredible of a voice I have and how I could make it big). He also used demeaning expletives. Please, save your money and time. Sal knows a lot but he is vindictive and cruel. You can find many other vocal coaches with the same amount of knowledge and expertise, without the cruelty. I worry for other artists that may come to him and be crushed by his words, especially younger people who may not be able to see through the verbal attacks. If you disagree with him, his goal is to make you feel small and insecure and like you are nothing without him. It would be wise to seek vocal coaching elsewhere. And Sal, if you reply to this review with the same vitriol and cruelty that you did to others, just know it reflects poorly on you.
