Wheaton Yamaha Music School has been a great place for my boys (6 and 9 years old) to learn piano! Everything about it has worked really well for us. Mr. Calvin is a very knowledgeable, encouraging teacher. The group classes have been perfect for my social kids, and playing with other classmates has helped them learn a lot musically too. (They do offer private lessons too.) My boys are challenged each week to keep progressing while also feeling a sense of pride with what they've accomplished. The songs and style of teaching are engaging enough that I never have to fight with my kids about practicing or going to lessons--they enjoy it! I grew up taking piano lessons but only learned how to read music--I didn't learn much about theory or how to improvise or really use my ears. Because of the teaching approach used here, my 9-year-old has already composed a couple songs of his own! During the pandemic, Wheaton Yamaha Music School has followed guidelines to make it a safe place for my kids to continue taking lessons. They've even offered virtual lessons as an option. We are really grateful for all that our kids have learned and experienced through Wheaton Yamaha Music School! read more

I have two boys that participate in the piano program at Wheaton Yamaha school of music. Their faces and personalities light up when they are in class! They are enthusiastically engaged from the beginning, till the end of their group classes. The classes are fun, joy filled, and incorporate diverse methods of teaching and learning. I love that they learn music by ear, and by reading it. The teachers are excellent, well trained, and as creative and colorful as the school environment and facility. I highly Recommend this amazing school for anyone looking to invest in their child's musical experience. My kids have learned so much in a very short period of time, and they have developed in many other areas of life because of their piano music lessons. I am grateful that my sons get to have this beautiful music experience. read more

When my daughter said she was interested in piano, I was hoping for a classroom/teacher that would engage with her, and teach music in a creative way. That is EXACTLY what you get with Mr. Calvin. My daughter looks forward to piano class, and is excited to learn new notes/songs from Mr. Calvin. From the start, Mr. Calvin has a unique way of motivating and teaching the children new songs, all while making it a fun and joyous atmosphere. I really appreciate the fact all the teachers really want your child to succeed, and is open to a more casual classroom. My daughter has been going for several months, and she's already learned how to read music and play a handful of songs by memory! Thank you Mr. Calvin for all you do, you truly are making the world a better place, one music note at a time! - J. Vadakumpadam read more

Our daughter has loved being a part of the Wheaton Yamaha School! She's excited to go make music every week. As musicians, my husband and I are very particular about our daughter's musical education. What we love about the school is that the teachers are instilling in each student a lifelong love of music and music making, rather than relying on rote memorization of musical pieces. Students are giving the building blocks for music that they'll use for their whole lives. read more

We love Wheaton Yamaha Music School! My kids do group lessons and private lessons there. The teachers are fantastic. They adapt and improvise based off of the kids personalities. They help the kids internalize the music by taking a whole learning approach; listening, site reading, playing by ear, composing, all while having fun! Definitely check them out if you are looking for piano (and other) lesson options...they are the best music lessons around! read more

My 2 elementary-aged kids go to Yamaha Wheaton School weekly for Mr. Calvin's class and they absolutely love it! They learn singing, piano, reading notes, and how to play in an ensemble. At the end of every semester, there is a class recital, where their class performs together in front of a crowd. Great value, great teachers! read more
