What Students & Parents say About PPS
First of all, please allow me to express my profound admiration for everything you and your teachers at Pacific Piano School do for our kids. I am truly impressed with this school and thrilled that my daughter is part of it.
I will highly recommend PPS to whoever I know and I hope that your studio will continue to grow in the future!
It appears to us that after studying with you on the master class, Claudia seems to absorb some of the coaching that you gave her. We notice she plays with more feeling. Strong noted when they are supposed to be strong and soft when the music phrase is supposed to be soft
My playing is steadily becoming more expressive and emotive, and performing has become less of a chore.
I would like to thank you both for doing such a fabulous job teaching our kids music and making the camp the most valuable and fun experience for our children this summer.
We don’t expect our kids to make a career out of music. However, this training is so important for their lives as you know. I want to thank you for your dedication in classical music education.
Pacific Piano School, Founded in 1996, has touched the lives of more than a thousand bay area families and distinguished itself as the premiere music school for children learning piano, voice, and violin.

Our Philosophy -
to provide the best quality education to students by teaching music as an artistic practice.
Music as a Language
We believe that students should learn a music just like they learn language, math, or science. Learning music not only develops their patience but nurtures the ability to work on and improve at any subject.
Performance Centric
We believe that regular performance on stage greatly boosts confidence, motivation, self-realization, and personally rewards students.
We Emphasize
Communication
Just as we teach our students to communicate and share music, we connect with parents to keep them informed and part of the learning process
Creativity
Making music is inherently a creative process. Students are encouraged to express their feelings through music in creative ways.
Passion
As musicians we are devoted to developing musical talent. As Teachers we are devoted to developing children's interest in music.
Collaborative Learning
It takes a village of many teachers and parental involvement to develop a well rounded musician. Our curriculum emphasizes and reflects this.
