Scherzo Music School

If anyone is looking for a FANTASTIC, local piano teacher, I would HIGHLY recommend Mr. Torres located in downtown San Mateo on B Street. Both my children started individual private lessons with him at age 5. Every year, they have participated in 3 recitals that have been great for their confidence, not to mention precious to watch them. He does not have a one-size-fit all teaching style but instead teaches to how each individual child learns. This is something unique to find in a good piano teacher. Below is one of his assessments sent to me regarding my children's progress.

"The kids are doing well. Zico is moving along fine... very soon to level 2B. Danielle will also be finishing level B. Both have a completely different learning approach. Danielle is more detail oriented, artistic and likes memorizing; Zico is more analytical, reads music instead of memorizing, so he will be advancing faster in terms of books, but needs to be slowed down and focus on details once in a while. I am very happy with the progress of both."

We have had only positive and wonderful things to say about our experience with Mr. Torres. My children were in year round school with many breaks and he was always flexible to make up the time. At many other studios you are just a number or contract, but not with Mr. Torres. Your child is a treasure to him to influence with his deep love and passion for music.
