My daughter takes lessons with Cal Music and has taken voice, piano and guitar lessons. In the years she has taken lessons, she has learned alot and had many wonderful teachers. The performances have given her confidence beyond what I though they would. I would highly recommend this studios for beginners and advanced students. I have recently decided to try to learn to sing as well and they found me the perfect teacher who makes me feel comfortable and I love my lessons also. We will be long time students here and would not go anywhere else.

Dr. Takenouchi is a great classical piano teacher for my daughter. He is very friendly and has a great sense of knowledge on how to improve her skills both technically and emotionally. He always guides her whenever she needs help. My daughter enjoys every lesson very much! Since she has been taught by Dr. Takenouchi she won in an international piano competition in NY. We are lucky to have found a wonderful piano teacher like him. R.S

Gus Zdanovich has been my piano teacher for about three years. He is a talented pianist and teacher who is most knowledgeable in classical and contemporary music. His love of music and passion for playing the piano is obvious. It is sometimes difficult for me to practice as often as I should and also, one could say, I am musically challenged. To help with this, Gus offers different techniques or suggestions and always spends extra time with me on all of my lessons. I am enjoying learning how to play the piano. His knowledge, patience and personable disposition have made it easy to take piano lessons from him. Thanks to Gus, I am learning about music and piano.

Kyle is an awesome and patient instructor. He explains things carefully and has a lot of great charts and exercises to help you understand techniques. He can figure out a song in seconds just by listening. Highly recommended

I have been a student of Michael Le Van for many years and have studied both classical piano and jazz improvisation with him. He is a kind, warm, patient teacher who works well with both children and adults. I really look forward to my lessons because I always learn something new. He is very versatile and can teach any style of piano music. In addition to being an incredible teacher, he is also a gifted composer who plays original ballad compositions which are very lyrical and heartfelt. He also composes fast upbeat jazz as well. Michael has produced several CDs, the latest called Then Another Turns with Elena Gilliam, vocalist and A Different Shade of Blue a few years ago. Michael performs with his trio at many different venues and I would suggest that you catch one of his amazing performances. Thank you to Michael for enriching my life with music and helping me on this journey.
