At San Ramon Academy of Music, we are a team of music educators on a mission to make a positive impact on the lives of our students by providing the highest quality remote music lessons throughout the United States.
We use cutting-edge sound and video technology, so even though you’re at home, you’ll feel like you’re right in the studio with us!
But we don’t just teach you to play the violin/viola – we help you make a meaningful connection with music that will last a lifetime.
Our teaching staff of expert musicians includes national competition winners, postgraduate degrees, and professional performers, but it’s our patience, empathy and love of teaching that sets us apart from other music schools.
We know every student’s success starts with a great connection to their teacher. That’s why when you sign up for your first class, we’ll use the information you provide about your child to personally match them with an instructor perfectly suited to their unique learning style, personality, and comfort level.
We’ve watched hundreds of students excel and learn to play music at a level well beyond their years, and we want to help your child get there too. So, for brand-new members of the San Ramon Academy of Music community, we’re offering 50% OFF your first violin/viola lesson!
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.

Isaac teaches violin and viola in the South Bay. His students have achieved high levels of ABRSM accreditation, and have auditioned and played in both the Fremont (FYSO) and Hayward (YOSAC) Youth Symphonies. More fundamentally, Isaac’s students gain a sense of accomplishment as they achieve fluency in string playing.
Isaac attended UC Berkeley for undergraduate work, and received a Master of Music in String Performance at Boston University.
Isaac believes in using humor as an essential teaching tool. Laughter makes lessons more enjoyable — which helps students stick with it — but that’s not even the main benefit. More critically, having a sense of humor accelerates progress.
As a performer, Isaac has played for regional symphonies in New England, and performed with festivals in Breckenridge, Colorado; Charleston, South Carolina; and Spoleto, Italy.
Born in Seoul, Korea, Pianist Lauren Park began studying piano at age 4, and violin a year later. She won numerous national competitions, including the top prize at the Young Artist Music Competition. She provides piano, music theory, and composition lessons to students of all ages.
Lauren received her undergraduate degree under the supervision of Dr. Sara Laimon at McGill University. Received her Master’s in Music Education Research under the supervision of Dr. Isabel Cossette. Upon graduation, Lauren worked as a piano faculty and a Suzuki certified instructor at McGill Conservatory of Music, Montreal, Canada before moving to the United States.
Despite her very busy schedule, Lauren is trying her best to enjoy her life outside of work. She loves dancing, hiking, skiing, making, and trying different foods!
