I bought both a piano and piano lessons from this place. The piano was nice but the lessons were not great. For group lessons, they jam pack you in this small room in the back with very old keyboards to practice on and ONE teacher for 10 students so you actually only get about 6 minutes of actual teaching time. At first, I was able to get into a class where there were four other students and it was great plus the instructor, Arturo, was very good as well. Unfortunately, later I was unable to attend that class schedule and ended up going to another class where there was a lot more students and one teacher and did not learn a thing. Both instructors looked very young, maybe even high school age or first year of college and I do not know if they are actually certified piano instructors as I did not ask. As for the piano transaction, that is another nightmarish transaction in itself. although the piano was a beautiful new piano, the sales transaction was a whole other nightmare. I will elaborate more at another time, but lets just say that the Piano shop does not really take care of you once you pay them. To be cont. read more

Wish I could give him -1000 stars. My young kid ran into the store cause he loves guitars he was at awe at the guitars and piano in the shop. The instructor there was so rude it was unbelievable! My poor kid didnt not even touch anything, he wasn't even in the guys way... he was super rude and asked my wife and me to leave and take the kid along with us....He was swearing at us!all this when there was a young student learning. I am sory how can you be a teacher when you swear for nothing!. I wouldn't trust my kids with that guy.....there are many jerks out there in our society..and we need to protect our next generation from characters like these. My two cents, do not leave your kids alone with that good for nothing Instructor read more

My son has been taking lessons at the Piano Shop for 5+ years playing both piano and guitar. He loves it here. The owner and staff are very friendly and patiently caring to its students. The cost of the lessons are very affordable for both group and individual lessons. I would highly recommend coming to this music center. read more

The Piano Shop - Piano Stores Near Me - Milpitas, California

The shop has little professionalism the male owner thinks it is OK to curse at employees in front of customers and tell them to not play the piano when a customer is wanting to hear the tones from a particular piano because he is trying to teach guitar. I would not recommend this place to anyone for a piano or lessons because pianos are overpriced and lessons are about 240 dollars for 10 lessons with old pianos and a large group of people jammed into a small room. read more

Great price, location and wonderful instructors! It is very family oriented and they place the student's picture on the wall. I found many family and friends children there. Highly reccomended! The schedule is very flexible. read more

I can only comment on the guitar lessons - our 10 year old son takes them from Bob, and he is great - very patient, and very talented; our son is having a good time and progressing well. I stay for many of the lessons and can see Bob adapts to what our son needs to work on and is interested in, so couldn't ask for more. read more

My daughter has been taking lessons here since she was 6, and now she is 8. When she first started, she didn't know anything about music. The person working in the front, had her go to a piano and see if she can press and hold down a piano key. Now she can read and write it; she's not a composer of course, but she likes to play and try to make her own music (always a positive for a parent who wants there kids to thrive with imagination; especially, with public schools down sizing courses and/or extracurricular activities because of the economy). Her instructor, Arther, has given her a lot of positive feedback and when she gets stuck on a piece, he continues to work with her until she's comfortable and ready for the next lesson. PROS: * Friendly Staff; great with kids. When we first went passed The Piano Shop, there was a girl who worked there and asked my daughter what she thought about pianos. Then she tested her finger strength to see if she can hold down the key; my daughter did and walla, we've been taking lessons ever since. * Pricing; reasonable and locked in--what you start with is what you stay with. No sudden hike increase or "hidden" fees. * New Location; still in the middle area, just in a bigger space. (Love the new space--so much more room for the students) * Lesson Variations; they offer both individual (30 min) and group (1 hour). I've had my daughter in group, and through time have seen people go from group, then switch to individual, and end up back in group. Group gives you more time to practice, plus any guided help that may be needed. * Scheduling Accommodations; through time we've had to change days and times and have never had anyone give us trouble or make us feel bad. (Lessons are giving in 12 wk intervals, and we've changed from days and times on 3 different occasions and always with a smile. They've always been very flexible and courteous) *Recital; is given once a year. The student's are handed certificates and trophies. It's a great experience and gives you a chance to see how well a person who is taking lessons there has grown. My daughter's recital made me cry--I just can't believe how wonderful she's gotten in the past year and a half. CONS * Parking; this shop is located inside of the great mall in a divided hallway with surrounding stores that's between entrance 1 and 4. Please note that entrance 1 always seems to be so packed; its better to go to entrance 4 (the food court) and head straight. * No Dress Code; one of the main instructors, Arther, at first glance can seem inappropriate dressed (he resembles the Jonas Brothers)--however, in his case two phrases come to mind, "looks can be deceiving" and "don't judge a book by its cover". Furthermore, Arther is currently working on a degree in music, and if given the chance to hear him play, he's phenomenal. In fact, all the instructors are. *Sales Area; if your looking for fast talking, high energy type of place, The Piano Shop isn't the place for you. They lack on there sales ability. In conclusion, through time and if given a chance, I believe that a person who really wants to learn to play a piano will not be disappointed with their piano playing ability. Like I said before, my daughter is taking lessons here and continues to wow me. I'm so happy that we found this place and hope to feel that others will give The Piano Shop a chance. From my families personal experience, The Piano Shop will continue to be the place we get our piano lessons from. read more
