A music town

For kids growing up in the City of Trees and PhDs

Claremont takes music seriously. Claremont High runs a marching band, a concert band, a wind ensemble and three orchestras, and its choirs compete nationally. Pomona College opens about 45 free concerts a year to the public, and the Village still has a folk music shop on Yale Ave.

What a big ensemble can’t always give a student is one-on-one time. That is what we do. A weekly private lesson works on the individual skills an ensemble depends on: reading, tone, rhythm, technique and practice habits. Students then bring those skills back to their school program.

Our studio is on Foothill Blvd in La Verne, just past the Claremont city line. Most Claremont families are here in about 10 minutes.

Getting here from the Village

  1. Head west on Bonita Ave out of the Village.
  2. Continue into La Verne and turn north on Wheeler Ave.
  3. Turn onto Foothill Blvd (historic Route 66). We are at 1502 Foothill Blvd, Suite 104.

From north Claremont, take Mills Ave or Mountain Ave to Foothill Blvd and head west. About 11 minutes from the Chaparral Elementary area without traffic.

The years kids pick an instrument

Middle school is when many students first choose an instrument, or think about quitting one. A patient private teacher makes it much easier for them to stick with it into high school.

Claremont parents ask

Claremont FAQs

How far is La Verne Music School from Claremont?+
About 4.6 miles from Claremont City Hall, roughly 10 minutes without traffic. Take Bonita Ave west to Wheeler Ave, or Foothill Blvd (Route 66) west from north Claremont. The studio is at 1502 Foothill Blvd #104, La Verne.
Can private lessons help my child in Claremont High’s band, orchestra or choir?+
Yes. CHS ensembles rehearse as a group, while a private lesson gives your child one-on-one time on reading, tone, rhythm and technique. Many families use weekly lessons alongside their school program.
My child is starting an instrument at El Roble. Is that a good time for lessons?+
It is one of the best times. Intermediate school is when many kids choose an instrument, and a private teacher helps them build good habits early so music keeps feeling rewarding into high school.
Can we fit lessons in after a Claremont school day?+
Yes. We teach Monday to Friday from 12pm to 8pm and Saturdays from 9am to 4pm, so there is time for an after-school or early-evening lesson after the roughly 10 minute drive.
Do you teach adults and college students from Claremont?+
Yes. We teach adults of every level, including complete beginners, and students at the Claremont Colleges are welcome to book private lessons with us.
How much are music lessons for Claremont students?+
Private lessons are $47.25 per 30 minute lesson. Mini Musicians is $135 per month and Fairytale Princess Ballet is $125 per month. Lessons are month to month with no long term contract.
Are there recitals Claremont families can join?+
Yes. Every student can perform in two free recitals a year, and students earn trophies and certificates as they progress.
