Stuart O. says, "Alan is our family piano instructor. My older son, 12, younger son, 8, and myself, 50 something, have been taking lessons from Alan for over 3 years. He is disciplined in his approach; no short cuts or progressing a student just for the sake of appeasing a parents desire to get from level 1 to 10. He allows us to suggest and play music we like as well as well as work on theory, which has helped everyone. My older son accelerated in jr orchestra (mariba). We are learning and playing both classical music, blues, and jazz. Just cool. -stu "See more

Ziad S. says, "As a serious musician who have recently released a record "www.tainteddream.com" it was always important for me to have my girl take music lessons early in life. So when Maya turned 6 me and my wife contacted Almaden School of Music and Art" looking to sign her up for music classes. After trying couple of teachers it became clear to us that we were not satisfied with the teachers due to their strict nature making the class dreadful. Gladly we finally landed couple of sessions with Debora and instantly knew that she would be the right teacher. The reason we were extremely happy with Debora because she specifically knew how to teach kids. She was very professional but made the class fun and that was key because we were in it for the long term. Debora style of teaching was pragmatic and most important of all she made sure that the our Kid was always interested and engaged. We worked with Debora for six years and she was extremely professional. I recommend Debora to anyone who wants to learn Piano. You will NOT be disappointed."See more

Trevor K. says, "Lessons with Harrison have been really good. They keep me motivated to keep practicing even on the days I don’t feel like it. He’s great at pushing me forward while keeping it fun. The chord-based learning method really clicked for me. Learning songs through chords made everything connect. I started seeing how melodies fit inside harmony, and it made it way easier to learn new songs and play by ear. My ear has definitely improved a lot; I can pick up songs faster and understand what I’m hearing now. I honestly feel like a better musician than I was a few months ago, with a much stronger grasp of music theory and how it all works. The group lessons have been great too. They’re supportive and encouraging, and everyone gets a chance to ask questions. Performing for the group felt surprisingly comfortable, it’s a totally judgment-free environment that helped me build confidence. Overall, Harrison’s creative approach to practical music theory has made a huge difference for me. I’m learning faster, I understand what I’m playing, and for the first time, I actually feel like I’m making music instead of just practicing notes."See more

Tobi is an amazing piano teacher and I couldn’t recommend someone more. I’m an adult student and have been taking lessons with Tobi for the past 7 months. At a high level, she is a great instructor who has really helped me learn. I really enjoy working with her and am very proud of my progress. I’ve played at a recital which was a great learning experience and have gotten great feedback from friends who have heard me play. This is testament to the guidance and teaching I’ve received from Tobi. On a more granular level, she is very detail oriented (laser focused on learning all the intricacies of a piece such as hand placement, timing, dynamics, pedaling etc.), very patient (understanding when I have bad weeks and makes a big effort to be encouraging), and makes a big effort to go through your learning journey with you. I’ve learned so much over just 6 months and have gone from a complete beginner to being confident to play simple pieces in LAX airport as people walk by. I’m more interested in pop pieces, and Tobi has been great about giving me the right balance between theory, typical progression pieces that help me learn, and pieces that spark my interest as something I’d really like to be able to play. For example, currently I’m learning a Chopin piece while also learning All of Me by John Legend. She’s very flexible in terms of tailoring lessons around your goals and is very attentive to what interests you as a student. Each week you leave with a homework sheet containing specific things to work on for the week. This includes scales, warm up exercises, various pieces you’re currently working on and detailed notes to go along with them. It takes approx. 20-30 minutes to run through this homework once each day. Tobi is really good at identifying your strengths and makes sure to use that asset to your advantage as you learn. This has made lessons thoroughly enjoyable and has kept me motivated. She also gets the right balance between pieces that suit your level and ones that challenge you to be better. You won’t go wrong by choosing to work with Tobi!
