Tr D. says, "I have been taking piano and Studio One lessons from Josh for 3 years, and he is an excellent teacher for both. I started with lessons on how to use Studio One because I wanted to be able to record demos for my original songs. He explained music production concepts in a clear and easy to understand way, and also demonstrated how to apply those concepts in Studio One. Regarding piano lessons, my goal was to be able to understand music theory as applied to song writing. With what I have learned from Josh, my song writing has significantly improved and I couldn’t be happier with the progress. I am also excited to get ready to play worship music at my church. Josh’s ability to break down complicated concepts, coupled with his patience and encouragement makes learning piano extremely rewarding and a joyful experience." Read more

I have been taking piano lessons from Laura Michelle Agigian for 2 years. I am 78 years old and Laura Michelle has been adept at giving me the lessons that somebody of my age requires. Even though I had some lessons as a kid my knowledge was lacking. My prior lessons were of the classical type of instruction. See a written note and play it. In the beginning if you asked me to play a C chord my response would be, "What's a chord?". Now I have a working knowledge of most chords and their inversions and extensions. I still have a lot to go, but she has adapted well to teaching somebody that has an aging brain and body, like me. I would recommend her to anybody.

Jonathan is incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about the guitar. He takes his time explaining and breaking concepts down and has always worked with me to meet my specific needs. I have tried lessons with other people before, and by far Jonathan has been the best experience I have ever had with a guitar instructor. I have now been taking lessons for a year and a half and am grateful for every single moment.

Aaron has helped me a lot. Especially improving my left hand capabilities. He is familiar with many different styles of music. He is also very good at figuring out how to play pieces that were not written for accordion.

Nina is a very patient and kind teacher who has helped my girls develop a love for learning to play piano. She personalizes the lesson to the individual and is able to keep them engaged with the lesson content. She is also very flexible with the schedule which is helpful for parents who are juggling complex extracurricular activity schedules. We love that she comes to our house. It makes lessons very convenient. We highly recommend Nina!

Orange Music Studio was definitely one of the highlights of my high school career! I took lessons from Gala Yaroshevsky for roughly two years and she was one of the most passionate and influential teachers I've had in my life. She has the ability to go far beyond just teaching the notes and techniques and makes music such an immersive, enjoyable, and unique experience for her students. She guided me through the Advanced level of the Certificate of Merit and both the Flute Choirs and Philharmonic Orchestra of the San Jose Youth Symphony. It would not have been the same with anyone else!
