Almaden School of Music & Art

"Have been going here for 3 years for art and a month for guitar now. Amazing teachers and staff! Everyone is friendly and great with children and also adults."

"My daughter took piano lessons with a piano teacher name Violeta at this school. She was really good with children. I like her all the way from professionally, and personally. However, the front desk receptionist wasn't that professional nor nice."

"My daughter has been attending this school for almost 5 years. She loves instructor’s passion and encouragement to learn more. School is great, staffs are wonderful and the environment is very pleasing. I would definitely recommend this school to students of all ages."

"A comprehensive place where you can get quality music education for all ages. They have multiple instructors for piano, violin, flute, clarinet, drums, cello and saxophone. This place offers mostly Western classical music teaching although they do have some Indian style as well. I go there for violin lessons and have been impressed with the quality. They also have art classes and the whole place is decorated with art works of their students. It's a fairly huge place and had about 20 plus classrooms with comfortable ambience. It's located in the same lot as Costco and trader Joe's in Almaden valley on the corner of blossom Hill and Almaden expressway. This particular place is located in the same building as bed bath and beyond. You just need to get to the centre courtyard and it's located in the SE corner. They do offer trial lessons and sometimes discount them. So please make sure to ask. They go by monthly billing with no commitments."

"I was evaluating this school for my son's piano lessons but ended up joining myself. My son is very Young and I needed to try out some lessons before committing and the school worked with me through the process of trying out multiple teachers, who were all fantastic in their own league, but I was looking for a non traditional learning for my son. So though we decided it's not the right time for my son to start here, I myself ended up joining one of the teachers who we tried out and liked. He is Mr. Matthew. As a teacher he had understood my goals and my expectations and is challenging me accordingly. I really like the class. The school's management was very involved and took lot of effort to understand my and my son's requirements and constantly followed up on the experience as a new student. This is rare to see but reflects the passion of the management towards music and towards customer service. I would recommend this highly. I also love the arts program of schools which I have walked by often and seen the amazing paintings that Young students make there."
