What parents say
Twenty years of trusted teaching.
4.9 average across 298 verified reviews at our Palo Alto campus.
My daughter has been learning violin with Teacher Luis for 1.5 years. Teacher Luis is great. He taught very well and laid a solid foundation for my daughter. He is very patient, didn't put too much pressure on students, which is very important for my daughter as a beginner. Communications are smoothly, too. After each lesson, we receive a summary of the class. And our emails to him are always answered in a timely manner. Highly recommended!
My son has been learning from teacher Rebecca for the past year or so. We love it! She's patient, kind, and meets him where he in in his musical journey. She makes sure she challenges him and maintains his love and interest in playing the piano. Highly recommend teacher Rebecca at Opus, especially if you have young children!
Teacher Julia is a fantastic piano teacher! She is super skilled and knowledgeable, and. My son has made amazing progress under her guidance. She makes learning fun and engaging!
