My 1st saxophone lesson with California music Lessons was very productive. Time passed fast but I learnt a lot. They are very professional and knowledgeable. Thank you Ca Music Lessons.

I'm a huge fan of CMS. As a local musician, I've met several other aspiring musicians that got their start here. Also, it's great having a music organization right here in Encinitas!

My experience with California Music Studios was incredibly positive. They have tons of qualified teachers for a variety of instruments, and they make the process of setting up lessons seamless and streamlined. I highly recommend them for anyone looking to start music lessons

We had such a great experience with California Music Studios. After searching and searching for piano and singing lessons with no luck, I was finally recommended to CMS. Absolutely love our teacher and loved their music teacher selection process! Thank you CMS!

I came to CMS with intentions of signing up my children for singing lessons. I was greeted by a very knowledgeable staff that was able to pair me, on the spot, with a teacher and location suitable to my needs. I highly recommend CMS to students of all ages!

CMS has placed me with a teacher both for my son, clarinet lessons to help support him in the school band, and for myself, to brush up on my ancient piano skills. I love that there are teachers who work with adult learners as well, and create a personalized approach to learning. My piano lessons are a highlight of my week!

My two children have taken piano and voice lessons with CMS for over a year. Our teacher is amazing and they love performing at the recitals and other events. I could not be happier with their progress and they love going to their lessons and every week.

We are so happy with CMS and our children's piano teacher. We could not be happier with the children's progress. On top of great experiences in the music process, it is so easy to change appointments and auto pay. Though the recitals are optional, we take full advantage of them and love that the kids get to participate in performing. They look forward to it and we love that they work towards that goal! Thanks CMS!

This place is a business machine in favor of themselves. They cancel lessons with minutes notification but if you have to cancel a lesson well in advance for justified reasons, they charge you regardless. They took on new lessons in our contractually agreed spot and tried to make us change. They did this with zero notification then tried to stick us with a random new teacher. Horrible experience and very expensive for that treatment too!

Our first experience was a summer camp that they held. My daughter had a lot of fun. She was in elementary school at the time. Then my daughter took piano lessons through their school. By this time we had moved to the Carmel Valley/Mira Mesa area of San Diego. It was convenient because we didn't have to drive up to the studio; they have teachers all across San Diego.

I am also happy because we got a master teacher. He teaches and plays several instruments, even harp. His love for music is obvious. Also, he was very good with my shy daughter, who by that time was in middle school. I recommend him, his name is Doron. I liked the match because he can teach beginning and experienced players. The drive took literally a few minutes. (Saving time and money.) My daughter's love for music grew as well as her technique.

The payment was through the studio. (Except the book.) They contacted me by email and phone and were very courteous. It was easy to stay on top of things. It is good for smart or musical kids who want to expand on their knowledge. I am grateful for a great experience.

So GLAD I found CMS! You guys made it so easy for a busy mom like me to set up private lessons in my home!!! The teacher they recommended is very nice and is great with kids! You guys are AMAZING!

A very dear friend of mine owns it. She is a superb musician with many years of performance and teaching skills behind her. I don't know anyone who works harder to give her students a first-class musical education and to run a first class Music School! I highly recommend California Music Studios to all ages and performance levels. You will be highly satisfied!

Been taking lessons with CMS for over a year now. My teacher Cody Randle is fantastic and we've made great progress on my singing in the last 12 months. The school organizes low pressure private recitals to sing in the public. Strongly recommended.
