The closest campus to Los Altos
Just over the Los Altos border on Grant Road.
Opus 1 doesn't have a Los Altos storefront — our nearest studio is the Mountain View Grant Road campus at 1350 Grant Road #5, in Grant Park Plaza just across the Mountain View–Los Altos line. That's about a five-minute drive from downtown Los Altos, with on-site parking, private lesson rooms, and doors open seven days a week. Quality Business Awards named this campus the Best Music School in Los Altos for 2025.
Families from Los Altos High School, Egan Junior High, and Bullis Charter School already make the Grant Road campus their weekly music home, alongside students from Los Altos Hills and South Los Altos. You get the full Opus 1 program — the same 50+ degreed faculty, the same exam track, the same 4.9★ reputation — without the wait lists that small solo studios run.

Lessons cover technique, theory, and repertoire, with optional preparation for ABRSM, Certificate of Merit (MTAC), and RCM exams. A short trial lesson is the easiest way to meet a teacher before enrolling.
Which instruments can Los Altos students learn at Opus 1?
Seven instruments at the Grant Road campus minutes from Los Altos: piano, violin, viola, cello, guitar, ukulele, and voice — all as private one-on-one lessons matched to the student's age, level, and goals. Group music classes for ages 3 and up and adult lessons are offered too, so one studio can cover the whole family.

Trial lessons start at $25 for 30 minutes (reserved for children under 8), $35 for 45 minutes, or $45 for 60 minutes. Monthly membership for one weekly private lesson ranges from $265 to $595 depending on lesson length and teacher level. Tuition is a flat amount each month with no annual contract — the same pricing that applies at every Opus 1 campus.
What ages can start lessons?
Private lessons typically start at age 5 for piano and voice, age 6 for violin, and age 8 for cello and guitar, though readiness varies by child. Younger children from Los Altos are welcome in Music for Young Children, our group program starting at age 3, which builds the rhythm, pitch, and ear-training foundation for private lessons later. Adults of every level are welcome too.
