In their own words.

“Calling all adults who always regretted not learning or abandoning the piano — Amabile School of Music can help. Ms. Teresa is a fantastic teacher who is perfectly adept at dealing with more mature students as well as those still in school. She has a real knack for figuring out what little technical hiccup is holding you back at any given moment and finding a way to overcome it. She’s also tolerant of those weeks when real life prevents you from practicing quite enough — which can be essential for us adults. But most important, she is great fun to learn from. I heartily and thoroughly recommend Amabile School of Music for students of ALL ages.”

“They’ve been good to my 4 year old. Aren’t too pretentious from my experience with other music schools. Kid is having fun and learning.”

“My 5 year old son has been taking piano lessons with Dr. Ethan for 18 months. Now he knows how to clap on beats, read music notes, and play piano. Dr. Ethan really has a passion for teaching — he knows how his students develop and tries to keep them on a good learning pace. I highly recommend him; he’ll make sure your kids have a strong basic music foundation. The other thing I like about Amabile is the recital part: twice a year they let students perform in front of families and friends to boost their confidence and self-esteem. The teachers and front desk always greet you with a smile. Thank you, Amabile!”

“My son has been taking lessons for about 3 months and really enjoys it. Ms. Lindsey strikes a nice balance — making it fun and supportive while still keeping him progressing. The structure of the program has been great: practice book, music theory book, and pieces book, all age-appropriate. Going on our 4th month, my son still looks forward to his lesson. Hearing him play the piano on his own — only sometimes, let’s be realistic — versus playing on the computer is definitely priceless.”

“I was a piano teacher at Amabile for almost 2 years from 2015–2016. With my 9 years of teaching experience, I can say Amabile is the best music school I’ve ever worked for. Teresa is a wonderful person and a great boss who truly cares about every student and provides the best environment and music education. She picks teachers seriously and carefully — all my former co-workers were professional musicians with great personalities, patient, and fun to work with kids. I miss my time teaching at Amabile and highly recommend this school if you’re looking for the best music learning experience in San Francisco.”

“I’m a music teacher and this is where I send my kid for piano lessons. Do you need more? Happy to oblige. There were two teachers in the city I was willing to send my daughter to for piano lessons. When I reached out to Ms. Isabell — who has accompanied my choirs many times — she let me know she was at Amabile. I signed up immediately and have been nothing but impressed over the past year. Ms. Isabell is excellent with kids, makes the lessons fun, and is very talented. I particularly enjoy all of the performance opportunities for the kids; the incentive program and performances really make the children learn at a faster pace and keep them motivated. I cannot say enough about this music school and highly recommend them for piano lessons.”

“We’ve been sending our daughter to Amabile for almost a year. She started from the Little Mozart Class to private lessons. Miss Bella is so friendly, patient, and talented, and Miss Tiffany is very professional for working with kids. We are happy that our daughter can go here and she's very excited every time. We highly recommend Amabile to all parents.”

“Amabile School of Music is amazing! Teachers are fun and very patient and caring. Staff could not be more friendly. Great music school!”

“We are so impressed by Amabile. The staff and owners really care about their students. Thanks for contributing to the community!”

“Our son loves his cello lessons at Amabile. The teacher is energetic, patient, and knows how to make music fun for a young beginner. The school facilities are new, clean, well-lit, and full of enthusiastic students. They put on regular public recitals to give students a chance to perform for an audience. We're very happy we found this school.”
