Johannes School of Music Scholastic Studies

"Ellie have been with Mr Chaz since she was 5yo and 5yrs later we still value his teaching, mentorship, and care that he puts into each and every lesson with her. He continuously pushes her to reach beyond her limits and I am amazed by the level of talents that come out of his online teaching! The piano in person recital that was put together this year in San Diego was nothing short of amazing!!! We will be with him for many more years ahead and we absolutely cannot wait!"

"I have had the utmost pleasure of entrusting my child's musical journey to Johannes School of Music for nearly a decade. Since my son's humble beginning at the tender age of 4, the school has provided an environment of expertise and encouragement. Over the years, I've witnessed my son not only develop exceptional musical skills but also grow in confidence and discipline, thanks to the school's holistic approach to music education. Beyond the exceptional curriculum, it's the little things that make this music school extraordinary— the annual recitals that celebrate every student's progress, the personalized attention given to each child's unique needs, and the unwavering support from the entire staff. In every way imaginable, Johannes School of Music has enriched our lives and fostered an enduring love for music in my son's heart. I am eternally grateful for the positive impact they've had on our family's journey."

"My two boys have been learning piano with Chaz since 2018. We are grateful for having a passionate, talented teacher who can guide my boys in their music journey. Chaz has unique way to train the students to learn and practice independently. So his students have solid essential techniques, and quickly mastered with guidance. Music is the universal language. We’re blessed to have a master of it to guide my children!"

"I am grateful to have had the privilege of witnessing the talent and teaching expertise of Chaz Barcenilla throughout my son's musical journey. As a vocal and piano instructor, Chaz has consistently exceeded all expectations, leaving an indelible mark on my son's growth as a musician. Their expertise, and genuine passion for music have created an extraordinary learning environment that has nurtured my son's skills and ignited his love for music. From the very first lesson, it was evident that Chaz possessed a unique ability to connect with students on a personal level. Their warm and approachable demeanor immediately put my son at ease, fostering a sense of trust and openness that allowed him to flourish. Chaz's remarkable talent in both vocals and piano is unparalleled, and their ability to seamlessly integrate both instruments into the lessons has broadened my son's musical horizons and enriched his understanding of music for the last 4 years. In summary, Chaz is an exceptional teacher who has had a transformative impact on my son's musical journey. Their expertise, dedication, and ability to create a nurturing and inspiring learning environment have been instrumental in his growth as a musician. I wholeheartedly recommend Chaz to anyone seeking a gifted and passionate instructor who can guide and inspire their child's musical aspirations."

"My daughter has been with Chaz since she was about 6 years old. We have been so happy with my daughter’s musical journey for the past five years. She’s learned so much and her talents are continually nurtured through his knowledge and care. Highly recommend!"
