This saves our students time and money, as one family can take multiple instruments on the same day.

With at least two music teachers for the most popular instruments, we are confident that we have the right teacher to meet your music lesson needs.

We also provide large observation windows on every door so that you can watch your child's lesson while you wait. if you prefer you can sit in on your child’s lesson anytime you like.
7. Fully stocked lesson rooms.
Our rooms are stocked with everything you need for music lessons, including amps, stereos, and pianos. All you need to bring is your instrument.
8. Free, all inclusive recitals.
Every parent just wants to know how their child is doing and if they are really progressing. The best way for a parent to understand if their investment in lessons is really worth it is to have their child participate in a recital. In May and December, many of our students choose to perform in our biannual recitals. Our recital location has a grand piano, so piano students are not playing on just a keyboard. Our sound system ensures a quality experience for all! Unlike other schools, parents never have to pay admission or any related fees for these recitals.
9. Professional office staff to serve you.
We are the only music school in Downtown Willow Glen, San Jose that offers professional customer service for their students.

We have office team members who are available at the front desk to assist our clients quickly and professionally.

Due to its central location, our school is convenient and draws students from Willow Glen, San Jose, Santa Clara, Los Gatos, and Campbell. We are easy to find, right off I-280 & 87, with shopping and restaurants close by.
​11. Picture Day
We are the only music school that offers a picture day for their students! Every six months, we host a free picture day with a professional photographer. We want to celebrate your music and share that memory through pictures. Examples pictured on this page! Adults are welcome too! Students can bring their instruments to the photo shoot and wear whatever they like.
​12. Trophies, certificates and award wristbands to celebrate achievement.
We are the only music school in Willow Glen/San Jose that gives their students the opportunity to earn special color wristband bracelets (kids and teens love them!), trophies and certificates for passing musical tests. Do other schools offer trophies and certificates? A few. But none of them inspire their students with smiling faces (see picture to the right) by giving them full color, really cool “Musical Ladder” wristbands that they can show off to their friends. 

More importantly, when our students have a test coming up, they practice more, their parents are proud, their teachers are proud, and everybody wins. You can only get the Musical Ladder here. We also specialize in music lessons for adults. We don't think learning music should be boring--it should be fun!
