Private Lessons
Report
Private Lessons We believe that private instruction is the best way for anyone to learn how to play an instrument or to sing correctly. The one-on-one instruction means that students are given instruction that best suits how they as an individual learn. Private lessons also mean that they are able to learn the type of music they personally are most interested in. Also, with private lessons a teacher can focus 100% of their attention on that one student to ensure that things such as hand positioning, posture or understanding of a particular concept are correct.

Fabio is the best! I was a total beginner and wasn't even sure if I should sign up for one on one lessons with an experienced vocal instructor like Fabio. I was actually going to wait until the world opened back up before I signed up for any lessons, but it seemed too easy. Their flexibility with online lessons gave me the extra push to sign up right away.

I'm located in Los Angeles, but was able to take weekly lesson with Fabio via Skype. I've never had vocal lessons before, but I felt very comfortable with Fabio as he was very patient with me. Highly recommend signing up with Fabio. You won't be disappointed.

This school has many talented teachers and coaches that I highly respect. I started with the intent to improve my public speaking presence and not embarrass myself in karaoke. Their facilities and operations, located in the heart of downtown Hayward, are well-run. The premises are charming, cozy, and eclectic. So, family can wait in comfort during lessons or take a quick stroll to nearby shopping and fooderies. Fabio, (a most skilled, personable, and delft singer, musician, and vocal coach), has greatly improved my voice through the Speech Level Singing technique.

I'm so grateful to Fabio, for the way I feel more confident. Also, I'm excited because I now enjoy singing, due to the developed ability I hadn't had before. He is able to engage with me through his knowledge and identify areas that need to be focused on during the lessons. I was so impressed by Fabio's coaching techniques that I invested in piano lessons with Roland, another highly talented and effective teacher.

I am learning so much quicker with his curriculum approach that is both step-by-step and creatively adaptive. He is very patient and an expert, who can identify learning patterns in a student. Music and singing are highly valuable investments for personal development and enhancing the aesthetic quality of life experiences. It is also, good challenging fun! I highly recommend Better World Music School for yourself and family!

If you're planning on taking guitar or bass lessons this is a great school. My instructor was Roland and he is very skillful in different types of guitar styles. He is very patient, kind, and has inspiration for his love in music. There are also other lessons with many passionate instructors waiting to get anyone started in those activities that might interest them. Prices aren't too high in my opinion, but you get what you paid for and I think It's a great investment if you're pursuing music or just want to learn something new. Overall great school highly recommend for all ages.

After several years of not taking piano lessons, and knowing that music was missing from my life, I discovered Better World School of Music. I didn't go in upon my first discovery, but would stare over at the school while waiting at a stop light. during my daily commute to work. Needless to say, I shed the excuses and enrolled. Eight months later, I can say that this small school packs a strong punch musically and I couldn't be happier with my piano teacher, Cheyenne. It's a blessing have such a fine music school so close to home and to be able to have music in my life again. David Arbelaez

Ms Kathy is very sweet and talnted and great with the kids. The performance choir, which is some singing and some dancing is a very good start for kids interested in performing. Also the class is very affordable. We have been very happy here.

My son has been taking drum lessons and my daughter has been taking piano lessons at Better World for four months. Their first recital took place last Saturday. It was the best music recital that I've ever experienced primarily because there were a variety of musical instruments and singers of all ages. It was not boring. This recital was only for new students, so It wasn't too long either. My family thoroughly enjoyed the recital.
