I have a 9 year old son son taking ukulele lessons with Paul and my 11 year old son taking drum lessons with Corey. Both really enjoy it and are already showing improvement. Both Paul and Corey make the lessons fun and engaging.

I have been taking lessons with Downs for ~ 6 months now. He teaches violin/fiddle, and I specifically chose him for an instructor because he can teach Irish and bluegrass styles. He is a great teacher! I am an adult student and was really nervous when I first started lessons. He knows when to push and when to encourage a student. I would highly recommend him for kids and adults who want to take up violin. Also, everyone who works at the front desk is very personable and friendly! Hi, Paul!

I am writing about my piano teacher, Mike Esfahani, who works for Rancho Canyon Music. I am 44 and wanted to start taking piano lessons again after 30 years. I've really enjoyed my lessons. He is incredibly talented and so enthusiastic about piano and music theory. He doesn't just teach you the notes, he helps you to understand the music. He is very patient but at the same time encourages you to challenge yourself.
