The team is also very supportive and flexible, Tenisha and John are the best!! Emma Silverline2024-08-22 We've had great experience with SR Academy of Music so far. My 9yr old joined a group piano class as a complete beginner, which was a good place to start. He takes weekly private lessons now and really enjoys them. His teacher, Ms Clara, is amazing, so fun, kind, and patient. She knows how to connect with a child. I really like their online portal for scheduling and information access, and Ms Tenisha is a rockstar of scheduling/administration, so very helpful and supportive. Great program! mukta bhatia2024-06-10 This is an amazing place to learn music. Students are made welcome, and everything is well organized.

Freeda Bennett2023-12-14 Amazing group of teachers!!! We did their first and second group classes and then one on one lessons. Ms Emily is engaging and makes lessons fun for my 7 year old. Larkin Mehta2022-07-13 Our family has had a fantastic experience at San Ramon Academy of Music. We learned about SRAM from a friend whose child had been with them for several years and enjoyed it immensely. We joined SRAM in 2018 and currently have two children who take piano and singing lessons. James Daly, owner and piano instructor is AMAZING! He tailors his teaching approach to each child's learning style (auditory, visual, kinesthetic). His passion for music education comes through all aspects of SRAM. He keeps lessons engaging while challenging to achieve growth. There are twice yearly recitals and even with COVD in 2020-2022, they managed to do online recitals seamlessly. The instructors are so positive, which as a parent I very much appreciate. I highly recommend SRAM if you need any sort of music / vocal lessons for your family. Shivani Mehta2022-07-06 We love SRAM! James is the best piano teacher my kids, ages 12 and 15, have ever had! We have had to switch teachers multiple times because of moving, and James has made the transition simple and fun! He not only has taught them how to play piano and theory, but how to be better human beings. Thank you, SRAM!
Trumpeting Through Time
A Legacy of Brilliance and Courage
Long before the trumpet commanded concert stages and jazz clubs, it was a voice of ancient civilizations, calling warriors to battle or heralding royal processions. Over 2,000 years ago, its echoes rang through the sands of Egypt, where bronze and silver trumpets lay buried in King Tutankhamun’s tomb, a testament to its sacred role.
Through the centuries, this instrument evolved from a signal of power to a tool of pure musical expression. From Baroque fanfares to Louis Armstrong’s soulful improvisations, the trumpet has always been a symbol of courage, energy, and boundless creativity.
At San Ramon Academy of Music, we honor this bold legacy in every lesson. Your child will become part of a story that has inspired triumph, celebration, and courage for millennia.
