Teachers with the Best Credentials

Why Choose Our Academy

With our team of world-class instructors, we offer piano lessons for students of all ages and levels. We’ve been a community staple for over 30 years, and pride ourselves on creating a welcoming environment for all students.

Our teachers are at the heart of our music school. As mentioned previously, we receive hundreds of music teacher applications every year, and each piano teacher is meticulously selected for their professionalism and engaging and fun personality. Their music education, performance, and teaching experience speaks for themselves as well. All of our highly qualified piano teachers have university degrees in music (many with Masters Degrees and DMA’s), and have experience teaching children and adults.

Our lessons are conducted in professionally sound-treated teaching rooms, equipped with the highest-quality violins, guitars, acoustic drum kits (yes, we teach on real kits and not their electronic counterparts), as well as high-end Yamaha commercial-grade upright pianos. Parents are welcome to sit in on the lessons, observe the classes through the observation windows in every door, or wait in our large and comfortable waiting room.

Since 1993, we have been an integral part of the Alhambra community and its surrounding areas, including San Marino, San Gabriel, Monterey Park, East Los Angeles, Pasadena, South Pasadena, and others. Over the years, we have had a chance to craft an outstanding learning environment for music and the arts by imparting knowledge to thousands of students within our local community!

Our students get the chance to spotlight their musical achievements through our exciting lineup of semi-annual performances across all programs, offering thrilling showcases to our entire community. While these opportunities are entirely optional, we highly encourage our students to participate. Additionally, we take pride in organizing music-themed fundraisers and collaborating with external organizations, such as the Walmart Foundation, Children’s Hospital Miracle Network, and others, to make your musical journey even more extraordinary and fun.

As a distinguished member of the Music Teachers’ Association of California, a professional organization committed to the pursuit of excellence in music education, and a designated Steinway & Sons Teaching and Educational Partner — an esteemed recognition for private music schools — we establish valuable connections with local nonprofits, public and private schools, and charter schools in our mission to spread the love for music and the arts. Our esteemed alumni include accomplished professionals in the music industry, actors, and performers in the music industry. Additionally, we have garnered endorsements from both the California State Assembly and California State Senate, recognizing our longstanding contributions to the community. Furthermore, we have been recognized as a Best Music School by Expertise Magazine for over a decade in a row!
