James Daly
Owner & Head Piano Teacher
Parents sit and wonder if their kids are ‘musical’, but here’s the secret; Everyone has musical ability! It’s an innate part of being human and explains our universal love for music. How that talent is nurtured, determines whether it blossoms. That’s where the SRAM difference comes into play!
I’m James Daly, owner of San Ramon Academy of Music, and a music teacher for the last 15 years. I made SRAM to revolutionize how we approach learning music.
As a child, I began piano lessons at 4, but lessons and practice felt more like a chore. This led to burnout, and I quit. However, I knew I loved music!
After years of self study, I encountered a teacher who understood music beyond just playing the right notes. Learning became play, and music transformed into endless possibilities. Fast forward and I’m at UC Berkeley on a full academic scholarship and getting to travel the world playing piano.
At SRAM, we redefine ‘practice’ by making it playful and sustainable. Lessons are not just productive but a cherished experience because of our educators, teaching methods, and the unique resources available to all of our students.

Your care for the students, which goes way beyond the music, is clear and really different from other music studios. I’m so grateful Jacob gets to play music with you and am so grateful for the warm tone you set.
Amiel
The instructors have great passion, not only for music, but imparting their passion onto the students. I love to see the joy you have when our son learns and reaches his milestones.
