Reviews and Ratings of Music Instructors

I really enjoy my lessons.

My three children have taken lessons here for several years. My oldest studies guitar and the other two take piano lessons. The teachers are excellent musicians and very friendly. We feel like part of a community there. The staff is very friendly and welcoming as well. I refer everyone who

I've been taking my children to Andy's for over a year and they have made great progress on their respective instruments. Wouldn't go anywhere else!

This is a business that is serious about progress.

Mr. Frank brings a cheerful and positive approach to my sons' piano lessons. We never found that in our two other previous teachers. Highly recommended.

I've been with Bob for a while. He is a true musician, and a true educator. DEFINITELY a great investment. My playing has improved tremendously.

Our two children, 4 and 6 year old, have been taking piano lessons at the TeVelde School of Music for almost a year. And they love their teacher – Sierra – who is absolutely amazing! She is always positive, friendly and encouraging. She is enthusiastic about music in general but also about

My daughter has been singing since she could talk. So, my wife and I wanted to see how we could channel this energy in a positive way. TeVelde School of Music had this very question as part of their sales pitch. We went through the interview process to match our daughters learning style with

Bonnie is an excellent musician, and is committed to sharing her knowledge with her teachers. She trains them to meet their potential so that they can give their best to their students. She is also willing to listen to the parents of her schools' clients so that she can better her school. I

Every child is different and we love the fact that Sierra listens, watches and learns about her students--and then applies the information to tailor her lesson style. The proof is in the enthusiasm and "getting ready time" ahead of each lesson...when my six year old runs to gather his music

My son has been taking music lessons from teVelde Music School for over 6 years. Beginning with what I thought would be just a few voice lessons with Bonnie, he moved to piano and then added drums with Dean. Sensing that he was loosing interest in piano, Bonnie suggested that he change to keyboard

We LOVE teVelde Music. We love how Bonnie cares about matching the student with the teacher they can work best with, and how she gets involved with helping individuals, whether or not they are directly working with her. My daughter loves her teacher, Sierra, and talks about her regularly. Sierra

I highly recommend teVelde Music. My daughter is a student at the San Luis Obispo location. My daughter loves to perform. She has loved performing since the day she was born. I enrolled her in ballet when she was two years old and it took me about a year and a half to realize that it wasn’t

We are very excited to havefound Bonnie and teVelde ....we have only been enrolled for a couple months but we are so happy with the quality of instruction. Our daughter continues to love singing and music and cant wait to get to her lessons every week. Looking forward to many fun years to

Great music teachers! Love Joe and Sierra. Bonnie is a caring teacher commited to really teach kids.

My son Luca (age 11) has studied with Bonnie TeVelde at this music school, then located in Arroyo Grande, for 6 years. With as much as I love burning fossil fuels and car time in general, I have thought of finding something more local for my children's music education many times. However, Bonnie

My children are 3 and 5 and have been taking lessons for 18 months. My oldest had lessons in our prior state on the east coast and after moving here, it took me months to find a teacher who would be a great fit for the ages of my children. teVelde has been more than a blessing to my family.

Roberto has studios in Folsom and Davis, which makes it particularly convenient for those of us who commute from work or school - CSUS. His expertise is expressed through a deep passion for music.

My eight year old son has been taking piano and drum lessons at teVelde Music for 10 months. Bonnie runs a wonderful school and instructors like Sierra, JJ and Dean make it special. I am astonished at the music my son is able to make after such a short period of time. Bonnie is an expert at

Excellent facility and environment for learning. Unique opportunity to play in the studio band which reinforces the lessons. Very knowledgeable instructors; some are actually playing professionally in a band. Recitals and seminars are available which gives one another audience to perform in

I enjoy my music lessons with Gary. He's patient and thorough. I feel encouraged and motivated. Thank you!

Curly makes learning guitar easy and i made a lot of progress.

Owners are very rude.

My 13 year old daughter has taken guitar lessons at Promethean Studios for many years now. She has learned so much and become so talented and confident, we really feel blessed to have found this studio. Not only does she learn to read and play beautiful music, she has and continues to learn

I love Promethean Studios. I have been taking guitar lessons here for 5 years and I love it. Although I initially wanted to learn classical guitar, my instructor, Cory Hopkins, taught me to broaden my outlook on the world of music. Now I know some jazz and am learning a flamenco piece. Cory

Couldn't disagree more with the posting criticizing Promethean. It's a great place to take music lessons. Our 15-year-old son has taken guitar lessons there for 2 years. He enjoys the lessons and has learned quite a bit. It's been great watching him develop his skills and confidence. We love

I have been taking private lesson at Promethean Studios for almost a year. Prior to that I spent a few years trying to learn to sing and play guitar through video instruction and things I found on the Internet, mainly hitting a wall when trying to get beyond the basics. I was afraid to go to

This is a very good school. My teacher is very knowledgeable and passionate about music. The school works with you as far as lesson times, and the lessons are very affordable. For me, it's all about playing the music I love, and I was able to do that after my second lesson.

I have twelve year old twins, that have been taking guitar and Bass lessons for almost a year now, they have had an incredible experience, I have been amazed at how much they have learned in the time they have been taking the lessons. They have been in two recitals, they have had music seminars,

We've used Mark Black for piano, guitar, voice, and rock band lessons. He is an outstanding teacher, providing an opportunity for the student to progress quickly from any level of proficiency. He is able to easily adapt lessons and instruction to the student's needs and what the student desires

I have been taking piano lessons for 2 years at this studio and I really like how my teacher helps me to learn. With my teacher's help, I even learned to play Fur Elise all the way through in 3rd grade! Some parts of learning the piano are kind of hard but my teacher always makes it fun. I

I've been taking vocal lessons at Promethean Studios for about 6 months. When I started, I had a TERRIBLE fear of performing in public - even in front of my friends. Mark has not only taught me theory and how to improve my voice, but he is helping me get over my stage fright as well. I'm even

I first signed up with Promethean Studios to learn how to play the bass guitar. When I learned that I was going to have a 30 minute session a week I thought I was going to be paying for a guy to simply hand me the next exercise I needed to do that week and so on...I was very wrong. Promethean

Awesome Instructors!

We had a bad experience with Mr. Edison teaching our 13 year old son. We found him to be inflexible and rude. He got very upset my son didn't understand everything the first time. He also told us that if my son had questions, they had to be written out before the lesson. My son was so excited

We did Amy's program when our son was 4 and our daughter was 1. Amy is FANTASTIC! We would highly recommend her to everyone!

When I wrote this before, I forgot to "rate" Amy's class.... so here goes with 5 stars! Great way to sing and play guitar, banjo etc. in a friendly setting. For more than two years, I've attended Amy's music class for adults. The format is somewhat informal, very friendly and encouraging.

For more than two years, I've attended Amy's music class for adults. The format is somewhat informal, very friendly and encouraging. Amy presents music from the folk, rock, and other genres, with words and guitar chords. We learn the songs and take turns picking what tunes to sing next. I've

I've began taking Music Together classes 5.5 years ago with my first granddaughter and now have two more granddaughters who have been attending since birth. Amy's a "rock-star" with the girls! They love the music; Amy sings and plays a variety of instruments; and she's a wonderful teacher who

The music Amy plays isn't rock but my granddaughters love her and the Music Together classes we attend. Amy sings and plays the guitar, banjo, keyboard, harmonica, accordion, and drums during the course of the generally 10 week session. I have three granddaughters and have been attending classes

I never felt very musically inclined until I started taking my daughter to Music Together. This class really changed how I interact with my daughter (I'm not hesitant to belt out some music!) and it is so rewarding to hear her singing all the time. Really, the most amazing part is to see her

"Miss Amy," as we call her, is a phenomenal teacher, singer, artist, person. She is a natural leader, besides being able to let loose and have fun. As moms have said already, she is incredibly talented, informative, and observant. There is a certain pleasant fluidity to each and every class,

My daughter and I both LOVED music times with Amy Conley and wore out her CD's playing them and singing along on long car rides. Amy is the BEST!

My daughter and I took Music Together classes with Amy several times and always had a wonderful time. She is very talented and plays several instruments and always offers those instruments to the curious hands of her students. She is patient, informative and very entertaining!!! I look forward

Our experience with Amy Conley has been wonderful. My children have been participating in Music Together with Amy for a few years now and love it. She truly has taught them so much and I am thankful that they have had the opportunity to learn from such a great instructor. Amy has such a great

Having attended Music Together classes for almost 5 years now, I can truly say that Amy does a great job in providing the kind of learning that so few children get. Her understanding of music and early childhood development are above the norm. She offers to small children a broad spectrum of

We have participated in Music Together with Amy for 4.5 years. The Music Together curriculum encourages playful interaction between adult and child and inspires us to be musical in our daily life. Amy is a fun, thoughtful, and caring teacher.

I have taken 3 Music Together classes (just signed up for a 4th) with Amy and we love it! It is such a nice bonding experience for mother (or father) and child. The CDs are great...many of the songs have become family favorites. My daughter loves to dance now and I think the classes have really

Our family has done two years of classes with Music Together of Milford. Classes are perfect for young kids -- lots of variety, opportunities to get up and be active, and introductions to different instruments, tonal structures, and ways of music making. Each season's music collection has songs

I can't say enough good things about this program or Amy. When my daughter was 18 months old, we saw Amy perform at the Milford Pumpkin Festival. My daughter, who usually never stops moving, was mesmorized for a whole hour. We signed up for the classes a few weeks later and are hooked. I am
