Do you ever wonder if your child has a hidden talent?

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.

What Can You Get From Just 30 Minutes?

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We enrolled our little one at SRAM around February and he has been learning music from Miss Amelia, who is a great teacher - very thorough and encouraging! We love that we get detailed notes and/or recorded music for practice. Extremely satisfied and it's been a great experience so far!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My kids have been at SRAM for 3 months and are thriving there. I appreciate the teacher notes that include a recap and HW assignment which gets emailed after every lesson. I also appreciate having the option to sit in on the lessons (which we couldn’t at our previous music school). The portal is user friendly and convenient for scheduling. Tenisha (admin) and James (owner) are amazing and so helpful and supportive. And my kids and I absolutely love their piano teacher Andria. She is an amazing educator and her passion and knowledge of piano shows. SRAM has a huge emphasis on community which I love and offer a variety of community performance opportunities as well as recitals throughout the year.
