STAMD started off as a very promising school for both my kids for piano and violin. Initially, the teachers were great with providing outstanding support and developing the skills for my 2 kids.\r\n\r\nBut then we started noticing a dreadful pattern of great teachers leaving, followed by a period of "interim" inexperienced piano/violin teachers who were less enthusiastic about actual teaching. Each interim teacher had expected to become permanent, recommending their instruction books to the kids...and then leaving weeks later.\r\n\r\nBut the biggest reason why I couldn't recommend STAMD was the poor communication between the staff. We had notified a number of people at STAMD that we will not be continuing music lessons after Thanksgiving 2018, and had filed the appropriate paperwork. Staff had assured that the paperwork had been processed, and we expected no further charges after November 2018.\r\n\r\nHowever, the charges kept coming until March 2019, when we told the bank to deny any further charges from STAMD. The staff was surprised that the school kept charging us for lesson fees. The signed paperwork that we submitted in November 2018 was suspiciously missing from their files. Plus, a violin teacher had claimed that we had attended lessons in December 2018, when we were out of town. \r\n\r\nOur regret was that during our move, the signed paperwork was lost--and the bank could not force the school to return the fees back to us. \r\n\r\nInstead of STAMD, I would recommend Mike Cozzollino (for piano, 20+ years of experience) and Helen Fujino (for violin, 40 years of experience) at The Music Village on Santa Teresa. Their extensive experience and much more reasonable rates are superior to what STAMD could provide. ...read more

Teaching music is my passion because I enjoy knowing that I can make a difference in a student's life. It is fulfilling to watch a student master a new concept or come up with innovative ideas. Stimulating the minds of musicians and helping them learn is an enjoyable challenge that routinely require new ideas and a fresh outlook. I am not one to get disappointed or take it personally when a student experiences setbacks, instead I view them as challenges. I feel that the obstacles or challenges we face in life help shape us as individuals and are crucial opportunities for personal growth. I deliver constructive criticism when the student is able to embrace it and I address concepts once I feel the student is ready or qualified for them. I consistently use positive affirmation to encourage my students since I know that positive reinforcement will enable the student to excel. ...read more
