Teacher Kashmira has been an incredible violin teacher for our six-year-old daughter over the past year. She brings the perfect blend of patience and structure to every lesson, and goes above and beyond by teaching her students how to practice effectively at home. The progress our daughter has made in just one year has been remarkable. We feel so lucky to have found her and would highly recommend her to any family!

My child has been learning piano with Christina at Opus 1 for a year. She is a wonderful teacher who is very conscientious and thorough. Weve seen huge improvements in our childs playing and interest in music. Christina made the transition into piano so smooth and enjoyable for a young beginner. Thank you, Christina, for all your hard work!

We have been with Opus 1 for several years now and have worked with Teacher Elliot for cello for my now 11 year old ever since. Teacher Elliot is very skilled in his craft and teaches with kindness. One of the things we like most about Teacher Elliot is the way he explains specific techniques. He is also one of the kindest and friendliest people out there and we're grateful he does such a good job of balancing teaching cello skills and techniques, while still keeping it fun and exciting to preserve the kids' love of playing cello. Thank you, Elliot!

I have been very fortunate to have Mr. Alex as my piano teacher to guide my musical journey over the last year. Alex is kind, patient, and encouraging. He is consistently positive, with a gentle sense of humor, manifest in every session we meet. With his help, Ive made great strides in reading, playing and appreciating music. Many thanks, Mr. Alex!

Ms Julia is an excellent piano teacher, she is talented, patient, and very kind. My daughter has started learning piano for 5 years, in Ms Kim's class, she can play the exact same piece immediately as my daughter is practicing, which provides a direct impression of how the sound should be like. My daughter loves her teaching style so much!

Sasha, my singing teacher, is a super star. I started singing after turning 40 and she has helped me get my voice and find awesome songs to practice at home

My daughter has been taking piano lessons at Opus 1 Music Studio with Teacher Effie for more than a year, and we truly appreciate her teaching style. Last year, she helped my daughter successfully pass the ABRSM Grade 3 exam, and this year they are working toward Grade 5. Hopefully everything will continue to go smoothly.

Very friendly staff, very easy to use website tools. And more importantly, my kid likes the violin teacher Ms. Kashmira Tata, who is both patient, nice and professional.

As someone who grew up playing piano and always loved music but never learned vocal fundamentals, I was excited to see that Opus 1 offers adult lessons. Its been a pleasure working 1:1 with Caitlin (Level 1) on everything from breath work to sight singing to ear training. Over the last few months weve learned several songs together and I look forward to continuing our lessons!

Our 4-year-old son has been taking the Sunshine class with teacher Yuri for almost a year. It's a fun way for kids to learn the piano in a group setting and see each other progresses through out the year!

My daughter has been learning cello with Teacher Elliot since 7yr old. Elliot is a very patient and encouraging teacher with a lot of attention to details and shaping kids practice habit. My daughter improved her skills dramatically since she started learning with Elliot and has always been looking forward to her weekly cello classes.

Mr Joseph is the best guitar teacher!!! My son is a big fan of him. Things couldnt go better without him, he is absolutely fantastic teacher, so considerate and accommodating! I guess he is the bestest we could ever find for my sons guitar . His methodology is so easy and flexible that my son got everything with ease.. if you want the best guitar teacher just ask for Mr Joseph Ochoa!!!

Teacher Marco is an exceptional teacher, who my daughter has been taking lessons from for 9 years now. His advice is leading her to be completing the last level of ABRSM exam. We are really happy with his teaching and my daughter really enjoys his lessons.

Ms. Pei-shan Yu is very professional and super nice teacher with lots of patience and technical skills. She always leaves a detail after-class note for my daughter, which is very helpful to follow up and practice off the class. My daughter enjoys every class with Ms. Yu. I strongly recommend her if you're looking for a violin teacher for your child.

My son has been learning violin with teacher Luis for the past 3 years, and it has been a truly wonderful journey. He is an awesome teacher and I would highly recommend other violin students to also learn with him. Every class, he helped my son improve his skills and taught him new techniques. He also taught him various methods to improve his intonation and rhythm.

Opus 1 Music has been wonderful for my son and daughter. Its helped them with focus and attention along with strengthening their memory and reasoning. The teachers there are very dedicated and excellent at what they do, in particular Teachers Tram and Kenta. Their weekly plans are very helpful in keeping parents up to date. Highly recommend this music studio. It has been a great addition to my childrens learning, a great balance to schooling.

My son was enrolled in Opus1 group music class (My First piano) when he was five. After that he learned playing piano from the teacher Yuri. Ms. Yuri is a fantastic teacher who is professional, patient, kind, and motivating. My son made a great progress with her help. Opus 1 has convenient locations and provides an easy way to schedule the make-up lesson in case there is a conflict. The front desk staff Mei is very nice and helpful. I would highly recommend Opus 1 and Ms. Yuri.
