Brenda C. says, "My daughter has been working with Jennifer at Music4Me for seven years (since age 9). Suffice it to say that we would not have continued for that many years if Jennifer were not a truly exceptional teacher and mentor. From the very first lesson, Jennifer created a warm, positive, and supportive environment that helped my daughter feel confident and excited to learn. She is not only incredibly knowledgeable but also patient, encouraging, and passionate about her work. My daughter has grown so much under Jennifer’s guidance. Her vocal range, control, and technique have improved noticeably, but even more importantly, so has her self-confidence. Jennifer celebrates her progress every step of the way, and it’s clear she truly cares about her students' success. If you're looking for a vocal coach who is skilled, kind, and genuinely invested in helping young singers thrive, I can’t recommend Jennifer highly enough!" Read more

It is a true hidden gem!! Both of my son and daughter are having lessons, one plays guitar and one plays drum. The instructors are not only giving instrument lessons but they also guide both of my children into the musical world by teaching and encouraging them to form a band, composing their own songs and helping them exploring more type of musics! We are beyond grateful and feeling really lucky that we found them!! Thank you!

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
