Better World School of Music Private Lessons

We believe that private instruction is the best way for anyone to learn how to play an instrument or to sing correctly. The one-on-one instruction means that students are given instruction that best suits how they learn, and the type of music they personally are most interested in. Also, with private lessons a teacher can focus 100% of their attention on that one student to ensure that things such as hand positioning, posture or understanding of a particular concept are correct. This means faster progress.

Bay Area Academy of Music Private Lessons

The Bay Area Academy of Music is a privately owned school located in Pleasanton, California. Our school was founded in 2003 and began as a small studio offering only piano instruction. Over the years we have grown and now offer lessons for a variety of different instruments and programs.

We believe that everyone, without exception, is naturally musical. Our patient, professional instructors focus on the fun and pleasure of playing music, and provide students with the skills they need to make music a life-long companion.
