Teacher Michael E. is awesome!

My 6 year old daughter started taking piano lessons with him a couple months ago and has fun at her lessons. He has a calm and engaging demeanor and motivates her to want to practice at home. I've noticed a vast improvement in rhythm and posture since she started lessons with him.

Kanita / Parent

Our daughter really thrives in Amanda's class, she is an amazing dance teacher.

Other ballet classes we have tried were either too playful or too strict. Myriad Dance Academy is a good mix of both, keeping the little ones engaged by making it fun while still teaching all of the technical skills. Our daughter loves dancing, so it’s wonderful to have found a school and a teacher who really encourage this love at all levels/ages. Also, we really like the variety of classes they offer to younger age groups

Thank you to the staff and instructors at Myriad

We are all LOVING Myriad Music. The fact that we are able to get lessons for 3 family members in 3 different instruments is fantastic. We feel like we have the makings of the Partridge Family! 🙂 Thank you to the staff and instructors at Myriad.

David / Parent

My daughters have been going to this studio for over 2 years now.

In this time, they have grown exponentially as dancers and have experienced performing multiple times. Their confidence and abilities have skyrocketed, as well as their community. It's such a treasure to find a place that welcomes you no matter what your age, body type, or level of ability. The teachers are professional, TALENTED, gracious, and compassionate. Not only have my daughters and I been met with warm and understanding, but I also see a desire for improvement and the pure joy of dance.

Noelle / Parent

I'm very pleased with the Superstar Musicians class

We've taken the Preschool Music class, the Mini Piano Plus class, and now the Superstar Young Musicians class. I'm very pleased with the Superstar class offered by Myriad Music. The children learn notes by ear, on the music staff, and they learn to actually make their own music that they can play. The classes feature different piano, ukulele, singing and how to play percussion and a child-sized drum kit. Each class is fun and they sing and have games geared toward their lesson. I think it's a smart, less stressful way to learn music.Also, Myriad is very accommodating with makeup classes.

San Mateo Mother's Club Mom / Mother

My daughter is enrolled in private voice lessons.

She began her journey at Myriad with Teacher Matthew almost a year ago. He helped her gain a lot of confidence. She is currently working with Teacher Amytza and is improving her skills with every lesson. Amytza is very kind and so encouraging as well. As a result of her voice instruction, my daughter had the courage to try out for her high school musical and got a role!

Brigid / Parent

Now she practices voluntarily everyday

Thank you very much for sending my daughter Elena the personalized warm message. This means a lot to her. Thank you very much for the encouragement. We like Myriad Music School a lot. It's a nurturing environment with good teaching philosophy and method. It's such a fun environment!

Elena has been learning violin with another studio before we switched her to Myriad. We are very glad that we made the switch. She was frustrated when she was with the other studio. Now she practices voluntarily everyday. I think that the clear homework assignment sheet and tracking system did some magic to some extent.

Our overall experience with the school is very happy. The front desk staff are very nice and helpful too. They always reply emails on time.

Ann / Mother

Myriad Music School and Dance Academy is simply wonderful

Myriad Music School and Dance Academy is simply wonderful. The teachers there have passed along their extensive knowledge and passion for music and dance to my children in such a way that I know they will be able to truly enjoy playing and dancing for the rest of their lives. The teaching methods used at Myriad are effective and fun. My kids LOVE Myriad!

Maren / Mom

Our daughter loves teacher Amanda and dance class!

Thanks so much for everything you do!

Florencia / Parent

I'm so grateful for our experiences at Myriad

I can't say enough about how wonderful the music classes are at Myriad. Initially, I saw the preschool class as an opportunity for my three year old daughter and I to bond and enjoy music together. But the class ended up being so much more than that for us. After several weeks, I began to notice that my daughter was picking up the routines of class, gaining confidence in herself, and developing her creativity. She was learning the basic building blocks of music in fun and imaginative ways. Her teacher was so interactive and dynamic and clearly loved leading the children. Games and songs played in class quickly worked there way into our daily lives, when we did the activities together at home. I'm so grateful for our experiences at Myriad. They have clearly begun a love and appreciation for music in my daughter that will hopefully follow her throughout her life.

Kim / Mom

My daughter searched high and low for a dance studio where she could learn but also be supported by her teachers.

She found that at Myriad. We love teacher Mattea and Amanda!

Myriad offers the perfect environment for children to explore music

Myriad offers the perfect environment for children to explore music

I think I have stumbled upon only a few real jewels when looking for great activities for my children. I have tough standards when it comes to paying for extracurricular enrichment; I take into consideration knowledge, professionalism and facility. My son, Mateo, started at Myriad about 5 years ago and continues to appreciate what he has learned. When my daughter Talia wanted to take music we knew Myriad was the place. These teachers embrace their gift with passion and love to share it with our children.nWhen I share my thoughts on Myriad my first words are if you are going to teach your child anything in the arts, choose a place that teaches with passion.

These teachers are musicians who are passionate about their gift. I believe everyone can teach what they know, but only a few have the desire to share their experiences and complete that task with true enthusiasm. In our busy home, we appreciate a professionalism and organization. Myriad keeps us informed of everything in timely manner. I usually have to ask the question before the information is given. Not at Myriad, information is given before the question even pops into my head. Finally, a place that is one step ahead. A clean, spacious and organized facility puts my mind at ease. Myriad offers the perfect environment for children to explore music. I like to know that when the kids are away from me they are in a healthy and safe place, learning what they love. Myriad offers that to all.

Kim / Mom

If you're looking for a wonderful dance school for your little ones, look no further than Myriad!

My daughter has been attending this school for a past few months and she absolutely loves it.
Her dance teacher Mattea is simply amazing - she's incredibly sweet, patient, and talented. She really knows how to connect with the children and make them feel comfortable and confident in their movements. My daughter has learned so much from her and is always excited to attend her classes

Shamema / Parent

We are incredibly grateful for the dedication, passion, and energy Teacher Amanda brings to every dance class.

Handling small kids is no easy task, but Teacher Amanda does it with such grace and skill. The positive impact she has had on our daughter is truly remarkable. Keep shining brightly!

Nabin / Parent

Myriad's dance classes have been a wonderful experience for my 7 year-old daughter

She's learned new skills in her Ballet  / Jazz class,has  made new friends, and most importantly, gained confidence while having fun. She really looks forward to seeing Teacher Kenya each week!

Karen R / Mother

Both of my children (a son and a daughter) absolutely adore dance class with Teacher Amanda!

It's amazing to see how quickly my 4 year olds have learned new coordination through dance and gained confidence. Amanda is wonderful with the little ones and makes learning fun. She's organized and keeps the younger dance students engaged. I always get an update at the end of class. Thank you!

These teachers made a deep and lasting impression

These teachers made a deep and lasting impression

From my childhood, the people whom I have the clearest memories of are my teachers - the good ones as well as the not so good ones. I remember them because these teachers made a deep and lasting impression on my life.

I am certain that the teachers at Myriad have and will continue to be a valuable influence on Madeline, not only as a musician, but as a person. Thank you for helping to build her up at this very impressionable age. With such trust having been established, we welcome, not only encouragement, but correction and needed critique as well.

Sarah / Parent

Thank you again

Thank you again for another year of inspiring piano lessons for Luke. His love and ability to play piano amaze us!

Cara / Parent

I had fun!

Thank you for helping us learn to sing for our concert. I had so much fun!

Olivia / Student

The Myriad Dance Academy has been a great place for our daughter to grow as a dancer and as a person

The challenging dance classes, creative spring showcases and supportive environment have helped her develop her technique. It is our hope that her passion for dance continues to grow! Thank you to the supportive dance teachers and Dance Director Mattea!

Natalie and David / Parents

The teachers at your school are just so awesome!

Our family really appreciate your very positive feedback for Alex's and Benson's piano performance.

Benson and Alex have been having very good experience with piano lessons at Myriad school all these years! They are having fun and willing to play piano whenever they have time. Listening to their piano music becomes part of our lives everyday. My husband and I benefit from their home practice all the time. We will be missing their piano music once they are gone to college. The good thing is we have been saving all their performances all these years. We can replay them whenever needed....

Thank you so much for making the music school to keep the kids' interests in playing music. The teachers at your school are just so awesome!

Sue / Parent

We really appreciate Myriad!

Thank you for taking the time to give Miya and Jack your words of praise from the concert. What a thoughtful and kind gesture and both kids beamed when I showed them your words. I think the encouragement from Myriad's teachers and owners will help them weather through the performance jitters as well as when they have the occasional 'practice' blues.

Lisa / Parent

We are so happy!

We are so happy that George has stayed with his music studies and grateful that Myriad has been such a big part of it.

Libby / Parent

I am ecstatic!

Myriad is amazing! Thank you so much for taking the time with Lucas. He was thrilled and so happy with his performance! Your motivation and positiveness keeps him going!!

He loves his piano and I am ecstatic that he wants to continue. Thanks again!

Claudia / Parent

So organized and dedicated

Thank you very much for your teaching with Amber, that sure will delight her and hopefully tickle her "musical bone" to make her want to practice more guitar at home. 🙂 We feel grateful that Amber and Anya are enrolled in such a wonderful music school. Your teachers are the best staff we've ever seen. So organized and dedicated, and always professional. I feel proud to let my friends know Myriad is the music school my both kids go to. After my daughter's last talent show, some parents asked me what school did Amber go. I proudly answered "Myriad Music School".

Jenny / Parent

The team at Myriad is wonderful with children

I wanted to say how happy we've been with the both teachers for my son. The team at Myriad is wonderful with children and very patient. Great teachers all around!

Sophia / Parent

We are continually impressed and delighted

Thank you so much for spending the time with Ally. You really do know what "makes Ally tick"! We are continually impressed and delighted with the music, dance and art school you have built, and the love of the arts that you inspire in your students.

Susan & Joe / Parents

We're very glad we found Myriad

My daughter, Maya, is LOVING her violin lessons! She is so much more motivated since she started taking lessons with Myriad and is already (after only three or four weeks) playing noticeably better. We're very glad we found Myriad. Thank you!

The Summer Camp teachers were engaged and creative!

I feel compelled to write this because I was extremely pleased with the experience we had at your music school. My daughter, attended summer camps this past July. I wanted to express my appreciation for the teachers during that week. My daughter LOVED her time there and told me each night that she did not want to stop going there (she did not want it to end)! That is huge progress for a child who is normally shy with new people and new situations.

I found all of the staff warm and inviting. The summer camp teachers were all engaged and creative! I loved their approach to each part of the camp and it is obvious that there is a structure and overall goal in mind. As an elementary age teacher myself, I love to see each child in a class acknowledged and respected for their own personality. Your teachers did that each day as they greeted the class with a smile. It is evident that they genuinely love what they are doing!

In addition, the facility was always clean and organized. I will definitely recommend your school to others and I look forward to Anika starting Superstar Young Musicians in the Fall.

Ashley / Parent

We have seen our daughter grow as a musician

We are really glad we chose Myriad as our music school. We have seen our daughter grow as a musician. All the teachers we have had so far have been so patient and friendly in spite of our daughter being a shy child. She has enjoyed learning from all of them. We love your playing parties for the younger musicians and really appreciate how you take time in knowing each child through these events.

Please tell your front desk admin team how much I personally appreciate them knowing all the kids names. When we call or stop by, Sophia immediately knows who I am talking about and it definitely makes us feel welcome. Thank you for everything.

The Vinod family / Family

Such a gift you give to our children

Yet again we are overwhelmed by the wonderful Myriad concert. I love the space, the RELAXED kids playing their music, their confidence, their independence, the quiet way in which you both let the musicians know you are there ...You both should be so proud of what you do. Such a gift you give to our children.

Marty and Michael / Parents

I am so proud

I just wanted to share a picture of Sebastian with the competition orchestra from his school. He is one of five 6th grade violinists invited to join the 7th and 8th graders. I am so proud of him and his foundation from Myriad.

Amy / Parent

It's just a thrill to hear her progress

Thank you so much, Simone & Keith and all the teachers and staff at Myriad for the wonderful opportunity given to our daughter to perform for us & others! It's just a thrill to hear her progress in making music! Thank you again so much for nurturing her & her talent!

Judy & Bill / Parents

Truly loving the experience at Myriad

Our daughter Aanika is taking private violin lessons at Myriad. Aanika is truly loving the experience. I like that she gets homework in writing with notes on what she is struggling with or what she needs to work on more. These homework pages keep me informed and allow me to get meaningfully involved as I help my child at home. Thank you! We love our teacher! She is simply fantastic– very inspiring, systematic and thorough.

Aanika's parents / Parents

Great! I really like summer camp!

Thanks from Owen and me for a fun week at the preschool camp. Owen really enjoyed it and by just the 2nd day (in the morning when I told him we were going to Myriad again) he said "Great!I really like camp!" It was also really nice for him to mix with a new and different group of preschoolers.

Melanie / Parent

I am so glad!

I wanted to quickly write to thank you once again for helping Olivia with her solo piece on Wednesday. She did an amazing job up on stage over the weekend and I have to attribute Glee Singers to this new found confidence in my daughter. When we first moved here 18 months ago Olivia was so shy I would literally have her wrapped around my leg whenever we went to any social event. I am so glad that she has found this love of singing and amazing personal confidence so thank you.

Deborah / Parent

We love your school!

We love your school. We know quality when we see it and have boasted about your school for years! Karah has thrived musically and we have your school and owners Simone and Keith to thank. Thank you again for another wonderful year!

Naomi & John / Parents

The teachers are great and very engaging with the kids!

I have been bringing my twin boys there for the past year. They are now 5 years old. I really love the school because the class sizes are small, the kids get individual attention and their approach to music is very creative. The teachers are great and very engaging with the kids!

San Mateo Mother's Club Mom / Mother

Classes are well-structured yet engaging

We've had a great experience with Myriad Music. My daughter has been going there since she turned 3 (and is now 6, in the Mini Singers group). At ages 3 & 4 we did Preschool Music and then Mini Piano Plus. It was a great transition from Music Together because I felt it really took things to a whole different level for the kids. It was well structured yet very engaging and fun for the kids. They got experience with instruments, notes and rhythm while truly having fun! All of our teachers at Myriad have been excellent, in both the teaching of music and with the ways they engage with children.

San Mateo Mother's Club Mom / Mother

I find it to be a very friendly environment

As a student at Myriad Music School for over five years, I find it to be a very friendly and musically enriching environment in which any musician is able to reach their full potential because of the wonderfully encouraging and talented teachers.

Christina H. / Student
It is the dedication and professionalism of the teachers

It is the dedication and professionalism of the teachers

It is the dedication and professionalism of the teachers, as well as their emphasis on encouraging a well-rounded musician which has allowed our daughter to grow into the avid and dedicated musician that she has become over the last five years with Myriad Music School . We feel so fortunate to have 'found' Myriad, for without them we are certain that our daughter would not have musically flourished to be at the level she is today.

Pam and Michael H. / Parents
Our children enjoy coming each week

Our children enjoy coming each week

We absolutely love the dance and music programs and teachers at the Myriad Music School and Dance Academy. The programs are geared around our children's aptitude to learn music and dance, have fun and make it an enjoyable experience that they will continue to develop over the years. The teachers truly enjoy what they do and demonstrate their passion by inspiring our children to give it their best during classes and recitals. Our children enjoy coming each week for their dance classes and piano lessons and have truly grown to appreciate both dance and music.

Myriad is more than just a School of Music and Dance. The support that the teachers and staff give each other makes it a close family which provides a welcoming environment of growth and artistry. The curriculum does an outstanding job of training students in the many different aspects of music that fall into the realms of technique, theory and musicality. Teachers are given flexibility within the curriculum to address the individual needs of each student and are encouraged to think critically about their approach to each student's needs ensuring a well rounded musical education. Even having moved away, my teaching is still highly informed by my experiences at Myriad and the training and support that I received there.
