VIBO Music Center

I used to attend this music school as kid for singing, piano, and guitar lessons around 2010-2015 before I moved outside the bay. I progressed quickly in learning musical theory and my own skils with each instrument I took classes in. So many wonderful and fun memories remain with me from the friends I made in group classes, the kind teachers and staff, and the recitals that would allow us students to showcase our talents. If I could recommend an amazing music school, it would most definitely be Vibo.

Vibo Music School its a great music garden where you can learn so many different styles of music, besides a strong theory root and discipline that any instrument requires. Its a Music gem in the bay area.

Love this music school. The teachers are awesome, especially Teacher Tim. Students are engaged and the school has a great family feel.

What I love most about ViBO Music School is their ability to customize the music lessons to match with the student's need/preference/personality. They offer excellent music groups (rocks, Jazz, classical) where the students can play in a group and perform in the public. My daughter can play the piano well but she lacks the confidence. Having her play in the music bands (rocks and Jazz) really help her boost her confidence. Victor Lin is just a wonderful musician and owner of ViBO.

He listens to us about our concern and he works hard to help our daughter with her confidence issue. ViBO does not get into competitions because they want the students to learn to love music and play with their hearts. Our daughter has been with ViBO for over 4 years now and we are so happy with the progress that she has made.

My children have been taking music lessons at Vibo music school for over 2 years, in the areas of Guitar, Piano and Vocal. During this period of time, there has been tremendous progress made on my children's music skill and competency level; the learning experience so far has been very successful. Part of this success is due to the fact that our children have a genuine interest toward learning music, but also the fact that the teaching staff at Vibo is very knowledgeable, helpful and flexible in designing the weekly lessons in ways to facilitate learning and to make the lessons filled with fun.

One other important factor is around the recital opportunities offered by Vibo throughout the school year in creating performance venues for students to showcase their skills in front of audiences. This has been a great idea in reinforcing what has been learned but also in assisting with overcoming some of the "fear" of performing in public. I think Vibo has done a great job in all of these areas for its students in fostering a fun and exciting learning environment. As a parent, I continue to support my children in pursuing their music passion alongside with Vibo. Manshiu Leung

Vibo Music has been a part of my son's life for almost a decade. He started with vocal lessons, and then went on to piano, violin and viola lessons. He joined up with a ensemble and later a string orchestra at Vibo as well. My son also enjoyed the summer music camps at Vibo Music, where he made new friends and learned how to play new instruments. The Vibo teachers were instrumental through the years by helping him realize his musical potential.

Took advantage of their new student discount special for private lessons for a month and have really enjoyed it! I am learning guitar and feel like I've learned so much, more than I expected in a month. My instructor is Tyler and his patience, encouragement and clear communication make it very easy and fun to learn! Definitely signing up for more lessons next year!

I Took guitar lessons. My Instructors name was either Tyler or Kevin. I'm not great with names. But this was the best money I spent in a long time. I will say if your an adult look in to private lessons because It is geard towards children and teens. But in just 2 short months I was able to play at my first Open Mic Night! Abd when my schedule becomes more consistent I will be back for the intermediate classes! Thanks Vibo!

Vibo has such a great music program for our youth. Not only does Vibo encourage the kids to perform live shows, the school also helps the process by hosting live local events, including the annual Battle of the Bands where the top contenders get to "battle" it out at the iconic Hard Rock Cafe in SF. Victor, the owner of Vibo also hosts a recording session for the winner if the contest in his home recording studio. You can tell that Victor puts his heart & soul into Vibo and you can see how proud he is of all his students during the live events.

This school is a scam, please do not be the next victim. We enrolled our daughter for the piano class on saturday 3pm for $160. A week later, they told us the class is full and have to move our daughter to the evening class at 5pm. We could not make it at 5pm so we ask for a refund. We waited 2 months, still no refund. We went back to the school physically and they told us we have to speak with the director Victor Lin, but he isn't at the office. We got his cellphone number, tried calling him over 20 times and he never picked up his phone and his voice mail is full. It's been 2 months, still no refund.

Victor, the owner followed up with my experience at Vibo. Not sure if their absent/credit policy has changed.

After sharing my concerns, the store owner was very accommodating and reached out to make sure adjustments were made. While I wouldn't suggest the piano workshop, their lessons were run very well.

I would not recommend this place at all. The rooms are too small they don't allow parents to see how the kids are performing. I did not like this and found another teacher. As a parent I would like to see what my son is doing. I asked them to refund my money operator at the phone told me She can't refund the money but she will call me back after consulting the director before the next class but nobody called me. They are refusing to refund the money that's why they're not calling I assume that.

My kids grow up with ViBO Music Center. They are consistent in guaranteeing weekly lessons. Mr. Clark is friendly and strict with the techniques at the same time. As time goes by, my kids and Mr. Clark grow a sense of humor between them, it is so cute to see when I sit in during their lessons. Mr. Clark also prepares my children's performance opportunity which i think is priceless.

In the summer months, we will have to fill out a leave of absence form for the date we will be absent so that our lessons will not need to be charged. My kids also enjoy their summer camp, they love the variety of music classes like flute, singing, violin, and guitar. In the last day of the camp, the parents are invited to see their end of the camp performance.

I was blown away by the quality that was produced in a week of learning. I especially enjoying seeing their rock band and ensembles performance. Overall, I think ViBO is a great music school for children to learn and appreciate music.

My experience at Vibo has been amazing. I've taken violin classes with a few teachers here over the years, they are all accomplished musicians who are lovely and dedicated. Learning violin as an adult can be challenging and daunting at times, my long time teacher Johanna is always encouraging and patient with me and made it a fun and enjoyable experience for me.

The classrooms are spacious and there is a nice venue for recitals and concerts. Victor has a built a nice community around Vibo, everyone is like a family and they participate in and organize a lot of community music events which give the students plenty of opportunities to perform. I played in their chamber ensemble and the family orchestra last year, it was a really great experience and lots of fun playing music with other students.

The staff is very friendly and organized and they are very accommodating with any requests. Parking is easy to find, there is street parking and a parking lot just behind the store. Highly recommend anyone who are looking to take music lessons to drop by and take a trial class.

Vibo offers music lessons for kids on a wide range of musical instruments. The staff and instructors are friendly and the shop also sells a limited range of instruments and recording equipment. Off street parking in nearby public lots is available, but waiting space is limited for parents who hang out during their kid's half hour lesson. They also coordinate recitals and concerts for their students.

They are rip off. They took my money on August 27th for $380 and another charge on sept 7 for $306. it's not even a month. I could understand if they invoice me 30 days. I do not like their payment service. Will look at another place that doesn't charge us every 10 days.

This review has nothing to do with the music teachers, they all receive flying colors in my book. My daughter has been coming here for one year now and loves it. This review is for upper management, to do something about the lady at the front desk. When I walk into a business, and the person in front desk doesn't even acknowledge your presence, I give them the benefit of the doubt and think 'maybe they're just having an off day.' However, when I come every Monday, and I still get no gesture of anything, something is wrong.

Besides these incidents, she is very unprofessional. Whenever I approach her for purchases, she decides to not even look at me, instead, just takes the payment and goes on. I have also asked her to add more volume to the tv. Instead of just nodding or doing it, she puts her finger up without taking her eyes off the screen and says, "hold on." I am not one to complain over small issues, but get yourself a better person to represent VIBO.

This place has so much potential. As a valued customer that cares greatly about feeling comfortable, teach the woman at the front desk to work better at her customer service skills.

Great place to jam out on the piano. Friendly staff and fun atmosphere as kids and parents go in and out for their music lessons. Have bought guitars and other musical equipment here. Can't speak on their music lessons since we haven't taken any at this location in San Bruno. Overall, a fun place for any music enthusiast!

In a few words this place was just "hard" complicated schedule, last minute changes, no body knows what is going on. It is a stressful place. I think maybe if you get pass that you may enjoy some of the classes but I will never find out because I am not coming back.

My son started taking drum lessons with Amanda about two months before he turned 4. Initially when I emailed ViBo inquiring about the drum lessons with Brett, who was highly recommended by a friend of mine, he told us that he felt my son was too young to begin drum lessons since kids usually start drums around the age of 8. However, I asked them to give us a sample lesson anyway because I felt that my son had a real niche with beats and drums--he taught himself how to play by watching YouTube videos since he was 2. ViBo agreed but instead of Brett, they assigned Amanda to instruct my son and it was pretty much love at first sight.

I highly recommend Amanda for younger students because she seems to be able to really connect with them. Sensitive toddlers like my son find it uncomfortable to sit in close quarters with adults they barely know but he took to Amanda almost immediately. Even though he's 4 now, almost 5, his language skills are still not up to par. Yet, Amanda is able to communicate with him and engage him consistently.

After almost a year now, my son still looks forward to his weekly lessons. Since he's still so young, Amanda does not teach him in the traditional methods one would with an older student. She basically allows him to experiment during the lesson and plays by ear, inserting relevant mini-lessons of new techniques and methods. From my understanding, he won't begin learning how to read music until he reaches grade school.

The tuition we pay is reasonable for the amount of care and attention Amanda gives during every lesson. $30 per lesson; $1 per minute and it's worth every penny. The drum lessons bring him much joy and enrichment. I always see him coming home inspired to try out his new learned techniques. Every now and then, your child will have a substitute teacher instructor which I was not comfortable with initially.

We had one bad experience very early on but since then, we haven't encountered any issues. My son recently had the chance to play with a substitute named Austin, who I found also worked great with very young kids. My son was very comfortable with him and looked like he had a lot of fun learning some new techniques with him as well. The only complaint/suggestion I have is that the music instructors should have some kind of shared database in which they record and track the progress and lessons of students.

That way, when substitutes are needed to be used, they can at least know where the students stand. I believe that would be really helpful especially if there are special cases like my son, who wouldn't know how to communicate with the substitute what he's been learning or that he's not used to the normal method of teaching.

I took drumming lesson at VIBO San Bruno Andrew is a good teacher. He is my first drum teacher so I can not compare him to other teacher. I learned things I would never learn just from watching drum lessons online and DVD alone. My overall drumming technique and awareness improved. BUT. Two of my lessons (first and last) were wasted because Andrew was absent twice.

I had a substitute teacher. He is nice and decent drummer. But he has little experience in teaching students. The lesson was unorganized. I learned only about 5% of what I was suppose to learn. That is $50.00 x 2 wasted. I am serious about learning and I value time and money. Very disappointing. The drum set sucks. I just played it anyways and said to my self "I should play this shitty drums, so when I play good drums I will appreciate.

And I will adapt in playing different kind of drum set." They have new "No make up policy, no exceptions" So make sure you or your kid do not get sick and no emergency (but teachers CAN be absent).

Was looking for cow bells (to use as a spectator along racing routes, events, festivals, etc.). This place has cow bells. But, they were meant for music. Oh well. However, if I ever pick musical instrument(s), or want to learn more, I'll check them out first. Still new looking and very organized. Dudes were helpful. Location is a bit hard to find, or park.
