Owner & Head Piano Teacher
Parents sit and wonder if their kids have talent, but they never take the next step because they don’t know what it is!
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 music.
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.

The convenience is really great. The fact that my son can sign in on his own has helped him develop a sense of responsibility to be on time and complete his lesson.
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.
Inka is excelling better with digital classes. She’s practicing more and I love it. There’s something about remote lessons that makes her feel more responsible and she even practices before class.
