My daughter is in piano lessons (4 years old). She loves her teacher and she is learning and growing in playing the piano. Her first recital was fantastic.

A great team of talented teachers and musicians. Special kudos to Mrs. Victoria who goes the extra mile to adapt to the needs for different kids to bring out the best in them.

Teachers at Inspire are kind and professional with love, power and the magic of music to teach each kid either in private or group lessons. We always feel so lucky that we have such wonderful school nearby for our kid to have his music lessons.My ten years old son has been learning piano at Inspire Academy since August 2015. He loves having his piano lessons. My son has learnt and achieved soo much for his age. Every time when we watch him performing at recitals like a young artist/pianist, we feel so proud! Every time when we watch other higher level students performing truly like a professional pianist at recitals/stages, we feel inspired!We feel so grateful that we had chosen the right and the best music school for our son to learn piano.

Our daughter has been going to Inspire for the last 5 years. What a talented group of teachers? Inspire offers two recitals a year that provides tremendous boost in learners confidence. Very dedicated owner (she herself is world renowned), teachers and staff. You can't go wrong here. This is the best music school in tri-valley area - period!

So many music schools, which school is the right place to choose? We chose Inspire Academy of Music & Arts. I also highly recommend to other families. All teachers at Inspire are kind and professional with love, power and the magic of music to teach each kid either in private or group lessons.

We love Inspire! Our kids enjoy the family-friendly atmosphere and positive learning environment. The teachers are devoted to their craft and are fabulous at connecting with children of all ages. This is a great place to plant that seed for a life-long love of music and the arts.

My 6 year-old daughter decided she wanted to learn to play the piano. I wasn't entirely convinced it would stick. Now she reads sheet music and is picking up the skill pretty quickly! Her teacher is fantastic and all the staff are really wonderful people. Very happy!

I was nervous about returning to piano after a 10-year hiatus. I'm thrilled I found Tamriko, a pianist who loves to teach and whose love of music is infectious. She knows how to challenge me without it being overwhelming. She is teaching me to approach music differently and as a result, I am more relaxed, enjoying the music, and making great progress.

This place is so awesome! In a world with so many music schools, sometimes it's hard to find one that is everything it should be. Inspire Music delivers on every front, and the whole experience is fantastic. The staff is wonderful, the location convenient and the prices very reasonable. Whatever instrument you're learning, no matter your age or level, definitely enroll here!

So happy since my 8 years old son started his voice classes with Mr. McCartny 2 months ago. It's amazing how much is done every time in just one 30 minutes class. Also besides the main learning program teacher assigns time for practicing songs that my child choose, even if those songs are very hard to sing. And the staff members Marina and Shauna are always there to coordinate every kind of issues.

Went to the school for private piano lesson for my 8-year old. It turned out the teacher assigned to us barely speaks English - she has very limited vocabulary and her strong foreign accent make it almost impossible to understand (especially the musical terms). After 2 classes of guessing the teacher’s words, we requested to change to another teacher but they don’t have any one else available. Had to cancel the class. The school refused to refund the canceled classes and charged an early termination fee. Technically the school didn’t lie to us - they never told us the teacher speaks decent English. So it’s all our fault. The school is neither honest nor fair. Definitely will NOT recommend.

The pros: Our five-year-old son (nearly six) was doing great with Jacob and just had his first piano recital. It's working out really well for us with Inspire Academy and we're very happy to keep our son moving forward with Inspire. As for the person who had a problem with the teacher's accent, that is unfortunate. I would recommend anyone meet the teacher before starting and committing to the class. We did that and were able to have a free introductory class. The cons: I do have to say they are really strict about makeups. Wouldn't give me a makeup when we thought classes had not yet resumed, and it was a misunderstanding. Wish they would be more flexible on that point.
