My daughter has been studying piano with Mr. Armin at the San Marino Music Center since she was four years old, now over three years. Mr. Armin is a wonderful teacher, treating young children with exceptional patience and kindness. My daughter thoroughly enjoys her piano lessons, and each week, mastering one or two pieces instills in her a sense of accomplishment and confidence. The center also hosts recitals, providing opportunities for students to showcase their talents in front of a supportive audience. John and Sisilia, the owners, are a fantastic couple who exude a genuine passion for music and wholeheartedly support musical education. I highly recommend this music center to anyone interested in nurturing their musical talents.

My children have been taking piano lessons here since they were in kindergarten with a number of excellent teachers over the years. They make it easy for families with multiple children to juggle multiple lessons and schedule make-up lessons. My kids aren't naturally gifted in music but recently my youngest played "Amazing Grace" while our family sang along and it was amazing (and a grace!) to see how far he has come. Both kids have learned a lot about themselves and the importance of practice and perseverance especially when pieces might be hard for them... not just piano lessons, life lessons!

We've been connected to San Marino Music Center for a number of years. Our kids took music lessons for flute and piano and had many wonderful instructors. Recently, we needed to repair a flute and they were great to get it sent out for repair and have it working within a week. The team at San Marino Music Center is like a family and they're wonderful with all of the kids and families that go there.

We didn't know where to start when my daughter was assigned an instrument for band. Her music teacher had San Marino Music Center on his list of recommendations and now I can see why. There was an ease about the staff that made asking question simple. We needed to rent a clarinet which was the best option for us seeing this was our first instrument. The rental process was so easy and very reasonably priced. We will be back again when our youngest discovers music. Thanks SMMC

I have been an ADULT student with San Marino Music Center for 6 months. I started with flute lessons and now I'm transitioning to piano lessons. I highly recommend this fantastic music center to any adults that are hesitant about taking lessons. The teachers are wonderful and it is a great environment for learning. They offer instruction to children and adults. The staff is highly professional and there are many instruments and rentals to select from. I love everything about the music center and I look forward to my private classes every week.

Our family has been taking lessons at San Marino Music Center for the past 9 years. Throughout all this time, this school has been excellent in teaching our family how to become proficient and confident musicians in a wide range of instruments. Extremely friendly staff; would highly recommend!

I have to say that I agree with the other reviewers that the owner is pretty anal. I would add that he does shady business. I was going to purchase a new instrument at his shop until he showed his true colors just a little too brightly. At that point, it was a matter of principle for me. I would rather spend my money elsewhere and would not recommend this place to anyone under any circumstance because sooner or later, the owner will simply be what he is and you'll have to deal with it. It won't pleasant.

We LOVE San Marino Music Center! My son takes piano from them and we have rented a trombone from them. All of our experiences with them have been terrific. They are wonderfully responsive via email and their communication is great. All of their instructors are highly professional. Five stars all the way!!!
