Philip B. says, "I always wanted to learn how to play the piano but as a middle-aged man with no appreciable musical experience, I was nervous about how I'd fare. I opted not to self-teach as I didn't want to pick up bad habits. Last January I began looking for a piano teacher. I chose Toby primarily for her credentials and experience. Her composition work (an area I want to later explore) and selection of keyboards also influenced my decision as one day I'd love to be able to play the numerous synthesizers I've accumulated! We began with a trial lesson, which was relaxed and enjoyable. We determined that a weekly, one hour lesson would work well. Over six months in, any initial fears I had have been allayed and I'm overjoyed with my progress. I quickly discovered that playing with two hands wasn't the insurmountable challenge I imagined it to be and that I do indeed have rhythm. I'm playing pieces from the Piano Adventures Level 3A book and am on my way to tackling some beginner/intermediate songs. A recent exercise involved improvisation around Greensleeves. Improvisation is one of Toby's great strengths and I learned a number of valuable techniques from her. Toby encourages steady progress, offers constructive feedback and puts great emphasis on aspects such as dynamics and sight reading, often overlooked by beginners and the self-taught. Each music piece is carefully chosen to advance my learning and technique and I enjoy them immensely. Toby keeps me accountable and I have found that practicing at home for 45 minutes to an hour each day has yielded great results. Toby is responsive and she has offered flexibility when needed.  Just three months in, I was already confident enough to play at Toby's formal recital held at Union Church of Cupertino. I performed beyond my expectations and I was amazed and delighted by the performances of both her child and adult students. Toby also holds informal adult recitals at her home, which are a great opportunity to meet like-minded folk and share positive feedback and affirmations in a relaxed setting. Toby will also perform some of her compositions, such as Chasing Circles, which are very impressive. Overall, I highly recommend her. Playing the piano has become my favourite hobby, which is surely a testament to her teaching abilities." Read more

Jason D. says, "As an adult taking Bass Guitar lessons, I appreciate Ben's patience and methodical process to teach the Bass Guitar. He has an excellent set up to show students how to maintain their instrument (string replacement, tuning, etc). Ben takes time to explain how the instrument is built and works. He works with you to find and achieve goals in your learning experience. Not only does he provide guidance he is an excellent musician and will demonstrate various techniques and music styles (jazz to speed metal). I highly recommend Ben for any lessons on Bass, Guitar, or Ukulele." Read more

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

Ji C. says, "She is very professional piano teacher and pianist and the studying experience was amazing. I studied the piano for a while, but then I did not practice for a long time and after that I met Silvia. My goal is performing 4 or 5 pieces well. First, she gave me S. Bach prelude No.1 to check my level. Then she gave me a list of pieces to pick. I choose a Bach minuet in G Major, Czerny 599 etudes No.45 and No.1 and Mozart piano sonata in C major. Every piece she gave my several lessons to make sure I perform in a right way and also she taught me how to analyze the music and understand the music, such as the structure of a piece and the meaning of changes of harmony. ex. she played really well!!! I recorded many of her performances!" Read more

Hi, I’m Loren Alonzo, and I’ve been passionate about music for as long as I can remember! From playing piano as a kid to accompanying choirs and eventually earning my degree in Piano Performance at San Jose State University, music has always been my heart and soul. I’ve had incredible experiences, like touring internationally with an all-female pop/alternative band, "The Like Me's," where I played for thousands and even dabbled in songwriting. As a teacher with over ten years of experience, I love creating lessons that are as fun as they are inspiring. My style is versatile—I blend classical techniques with modern vibes to keep things fres

My 12-year-old daughter has been taking piano lessons with Toby for a while now, and it has truly been a wonderful experience. She’s grown so much, not only in her technique and ability to read music, but also in her genuine love for playing. Toby has a gift for teaching. She’s patient, kind, and encouraging, while also keeping lessons structured so kids stay motivated and make steady progress. My daughter actually looks forward to her lessons each week! The recitals have been such a highlight. They’ve given my daughter the chance to perform, build confidence, and feel proud of herself. It’s also inspiring for her to see other students perform, and I love how Toby celebrates every student’s achievements. You can tell how dedicated she is to helping every student grow. On the practical side, Toby is flexible and easy to work with when it comes to scheduling, which has been a huge help with our busy school and sports calendar. That support has made it possible for us to keep lessons consistent without stress. If you’re looking for a piano teacher who not only teaches well but also inspires kids to enjoy music, I wholeheartedly recommend Toby. She has made such a positive difference for my daughter, and I’m so grateful we found her.

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.

In the course of a year Ben has introduced me to a variety of ukulele playing techniques (strumming patterns, fingering, muting, hammer-ons, hammer-offs, overtones, slides, pinching etc.) some of which I've been able to learn and execute with some proficiency. He's also taught me how to look at sheet music and puzzle out for myself fingering for melodies and chord fragments based on the chord structures to which these melodies and chord fragments are associated. In this time I've gone from being a nearly 60-year old complete beginner to being someone able to competently play melody and/or chord lines for the following songs "Fly Me to the Moon", "Walk Don't Run", "Sounds of Silence", "Kawika", "The Entertainer", "Hide Away", "Crazy", "Sweet Lelani", "Tears on My Pillow", "Behind Blue Eyes" "Breakdown", "Killing Me Softly" "White Christmas", "Mele Kalikimaka" "Vietnam", and some others.
