Breakthrough Piano Lessons In San Francisco Have Students Playing Immediately!

Hello, if you’re looking for the best way to take piano lessons in San Franciso, you may wonder, “Which approach should I learn?” Who is the best piano teacher in San Francisco for me? When will I be able to actually play? Everyone understands that it is a journey that requires time. There are many piano learning methods, but…

Why Are Traditional Piano Lessons So Boring?

Perhaps, you were one of the lucky ones who tried piano lessons as a child.

But before long, you quit.

Feelings of failure left you with unhappy memories, or perhaps even a distaste for the piano.

Was it the practice?

The teacher?

The method?

Too hard?

Your parents forced you to practice. You resisted. You cried until you were blue in the face. But it didn’t matter.

And the pressure-cooker recitals that left you shaking in your boots?

What was it that caused the frustration?

Maybe, it was a little bit of everything.

And now, you’re on a path to find a better way for you or your kids.

Well, guess what? your story is not that far off from everyone else’s.

Here’s something to note…

The stats show that 86% of students quit music lessons in their first two years.
Most students hate practicing and parents are tired of nagging their kids about it.
Students don’t want to learn to play the piano. They want to play the piano! And they want to play now.

That’s why we’re different. We teach you to PLAY immediately from your very first lessons.

Most piano teachers teach the same traditional piano method that has been around for the past 300 years. The results?

Most students struggle. A few survive.

No surprise here!

And what about practice time? Students hate to practice and parents hate to force their kids to practice.

And who really wants to wait a long time before you’re able to play a song with both hands together?

Unlike the traditional method, wouldn’t it be nice if you found a way to play the piano that’s fun and a breeze to learn?

What if there was cutting-edge technology that would encourage your daily practice habits?

What if you could completely love playing the piano for years to come?

What if you could do it now?

Well, I have great news for you.

The Practice App

We help our students keep track of their practice through the Better Practice App. The App holds students accountable by recording their assignments and practice time.

The old way of paper tracking is archaic and a thing of the past for San Francisco piano lessons. With Better Practice App, everything is automated online. No need to remember what was assigned because it’s all there on the computer or smartphone. And these days, it’s all about convenience for kids and for parents. The built-in algorithms on the App generates a newly customized playlist for the student’s use on a daily basis. Young and old, it’s easy to use.

The best part is that students are excited to use it. Parents are happy to do less hand-holding and “policing” at home.

“Warm approach to teaching kids. Great examples used to help kids remember the lessons. The music app holds kids accountable. Comfortable home studio environment. Super fun and enjoyable experience.” Brandon and Annalisa Camarillo, Parents, San Jose, CA

Power Of Two Practice Pack

The Power-of-Two Practice Pack is our proprietary, one of a kind lesson/practice combo that will have you rethinking about music lessons and practice.

By structuring lessons and practice in a strategic way, the Power-of-Two allows our students to practice less and achieve more. Parents also appreciate this because it takes off the pressure of the parents having to nag their children to practice at home. We lend a helping hand so parents have more free time and peace of mind. Piano lessons San Jose have become much easier.

  I am a singer/songwriter, worship leader, music teacher and coach. I started my career by taking lessons with Mrs. Ashby and it inspired me to be a professional musician. I'm now working on releasing original music plus writing for tv and film. I highly recommend Mrs. Ashby for piano lessons and learning how to be creative and free in your music education!

  I always wanted to learn piano, but did not know where to start.  I found Mrs. Ashby on the internet a couple of years ago and have been enjoying her classes ever since.  She makes the classes fun and interesting without overwhelming the student.  I am thankful to get to have her as my teacher and excited about learning more piano.  Highly recommend to any and all ages.

  Bernadette is a gifted teacher.  Her knowledge, patience, dedication and love of piano make for an excellent learning experience.  My daughter has been a student of Bernadette's since early grade school and she is now a teenager.  Never once, in all of that time, has my daughter said she wanted to quit.  If you wish to have a joyful, well-rounded music education and foster a life-long love of music, there is no better place to go!

  Bernadette Ashby is an excellent piano teacher. I've been taking lessons with her for two years, and friends and family are amazed at my progress. I've no musical history or training at all, yet i can sit at the piano and play songs. Bernadette is patient, experienced and knowledgeable - I would recommend her to anyone interested in learning piano. Two thumbs up!
