We are so glad to have stumbled on to Green Octave! What a find! The learning environment is great, and the quality of instruction is remarkable. Our son loves his private lesson, and we are blown away by how quickly he's progressing. Can't wait until our younger son to start! – Katy S., San Carlos
I wish I could give Green Octave (in my 5 year old's words) "infinity" stars!! From the sweet smiling staff at the front desk to the extremely talented and patient teachers, it is nothing short of an exceptional experience every time we come in. I feel so lucky that my daughter and I are learning to play the guitar with Teacher Eric. I seriously don't know how it's possible, but after every lesson I realize that his teaching style is even more incredibly amazing than I thought it was last time! – Mehk P., San Mateo
My 7 year old has been taking piano lessons with Candice for 7 months now. She makes lessons kid friendly with games, body movement, and overall fun. No longer are the days of sitting on the piano bench and doing endless drills with a metronome. While focusing on the technical stuff, she still makes it super fun and exciting to learn and play music. Her enthusiasm for music and teaching it to others is one of the amazing things about her. –Tawny A., San Carlos
It's great for families. I'm really impressed by the highly qualified instructors. They're really friendly and flexible. I felt very encouraged as an adult that it's not too late for me and I'm glad my children will have the opportunity to develop their music talent early. – Do C., Redwood City
Excellent music school! The music director is the most dedicated music teacher I have seen. His passion for music and his dedication to his students is simply commendable. He is a very involved teacher and is equally involved in making sure that all the teachers at Green Octave meet certain standards. He really has a great way with kids and an impeccable talent of getting the best out of them. Always encouraging them to do better than what they can do. And the only school where they don't time you by the minute, but rather focus on getting the piece right. – Swati T., San Jose
Boys don't always sit tight, yet teacher Benny has infinite number of ways to grab my son's attention, and even brighten him up if he is not in the mood to touch the piano. He paces the lessons to fit my son's progress, and challenges my son to try something beyond his level. – Peter C., Redwood City
I think Green Octave provides many opportunities for children as well as adults to immerse themselves in the joy and wonders of music. The staff if very friendly and very professional. They are able to answer any questions whether you are completely new to an instrument or music or if you are intermediate to advanced. Dedication and passion is very important in the music business and I guarantee that both qualities can be found at Green Octave! – Kristy I, San Mateo
It's great for families. They offer classes for children as well as adults. I'm eager to start learning guitar again, but I'm now tempted to revamp my piano skills too. They offer training in nearly every instrument, and offer both group and individual classes. The location is perfect. It's next to a martial arts learning studio, a Kumon tutorial center, and a My Gym playground. It's a one stop drop that I can take my whole family to. I could probably get paid to bring the neighbors' kids to this place! – Do C., Redwood City
