In their own words.

“Amabile School of Music has a team of amazing staff and teachers. I am very grateful to have the opportunity to pick up music again as an adult student after almost three decades, first taught by the extremely talented founder and director, Teresa, several years ago, and now taught by Dr. Dulais. Dr. Dulais is truly inspirational! No matter how challenging the piece was, he can always analyze it in a way that it’s so easy to understand and overcome. His great sense of humor and kind, encouraging words have always made the lesson so enjoyable, but went by so fast. This school year, with my own busy teaching schedule, the happiest time for me was to come to Amabile for the piano lesson. The piano lessons have helped me more focused and more organized in my own teaching. Both of my children “graduated” from Amabile, too. They took piano/violin and piano/clarinet for years, and now they both are active leaders at the school’s advanced band and advanced orchestra. Thank you very much, Amabile, for instilling music in our life.”

“A great group of teachers and staff. I have worked with three teachers in my time here and each one is knowledgeable and professional.”

“The teaching is top-notch, and we are pleased that our son’s exposure to the musical world was achieved through your school.”

“Amabile School of Music is a wonderful place to go. The owner, Teresa, is also a scholar musician herself and has made the school such a wonderful teaching environment! Teresa is so talented and has the most wonderful, friendly, and helpful personality which makes the school a treat to visit. Teresa has hand picked her teachers carefully and is very purposeful in what she expects from her professional teachers. She wants the best for her students and their families who will in turn enjoy the music talent in their own homes! Amabile is a must to enroll as a music school. You will be welcomed by her sweet smile and wonderful personality!”

“The school name ‘Amabile’ speaks for the owner, Teresa’s personality and her view of music. I promise that you’ll not be disappointed to send your child, or yourself here for music education. Whether you want basic appreciation of music or to train a world-class musician, you will most likely achieve your goals. Both my kids and I have benefited so much from Teresa.”

“This is a fantastic school with highly skilled teachers and a wonderful atmosphere. It is clear that a great deal of preparation and planning went into its development. My 6 year old daughter began piano lessons with Teresa over the summer and looks forward to her weekly lessons. A huge bonus is that Amabile is right on the L Muni line.”

“This Music School might just be the best place in San Francisco you can bring your kids, or even yourselves to. They offer many different types of private music lessons, plus a toddler class for the little ones. I was there for the open house and the warmth I received from all the teachers and staff was amazing. The director and owner, Teresa, is a ball of energy, friendly, and patient with all your questions. They will suit you with the best teachers and adjust their schedule to yours. The school location is great and the atmosphere is wonderful, with bright colors and private, spacious rooms. They even hold concerts for all their students so they can experience the joy of performing live on stage!”

“In any artistic field, to be the best you need to be passionate and driven, and willing to keep trying until you get it. You also need to train under someone with a very high skill level and professional attitude. Teresa is one of the best pianists in San Francisco. Teresa searched very carefully and found teachers of the same excellence and passion in their playing. I am very excited to see students train at this school and have an excellent foundation in music. Everyone is very nice as well, and that’s just as important as the training. To be a teacher requires more than just skill, and I see the ability to communicate well in Teresa and the teachers who work at the school.”
