My son came home for the summer looking to learn some jazz piano, and got great instruction at Leading Note Studios. It's wonderful to have a place that can have so many teachers that can teach a variety of instruments and styles. - Min K.

My daughter has been taking piano and voice lessons for over four years at Leading Note and she has LOVED every minute of it. I have never had to nag her to practice, her teachers motivate her to work on her own. She has performed at fundraisers, the Del Mar Fair, and at beautiful recitals. My son took guitar lesson at Leading Note for a couple of years, only ending when he left for college. He loved taking lessons and miraculously practiced on his own. Every teacher that we have had the pleasure of working with has been outstanding. Camille Hastings runs a fantastic school. -Rebecca W.

This is WHERE you want your littles to be! I have been an educator for almost 20 years and trust no one more. You will LOVE your experience here - how the staff loves on your kids, motivates them and fosters a LOVE for music. - Heather D.

This has been a wonderful place to learn music! I have taken lessons there as an adult and they make me feel so welcomed and teach the music that I have always wanted to learn. They have never made me feel foolish or uncomfortable. The place is always clean and professional. They've worked around my busy schedule every time I've had to travel for work. I look forward to bringing my grandchildren here someday for their music camps. I can only imagine how wonderful they are from how great my private lessons have been. - John T

My daughter took piano lessons at Leading Note Studios for about 6 years and unfortunately we had to say good bye last December because we moved to another State. For all those years, I couldn't wish for a better place! Camille, the owner, was extremely professional and a good human being; my daughter's piano teacher, Ms. Mary, was outstanding! I highly recommend Leading Note Studio! - Neide S.

Gabby had a great first engineering class! She can't wait to do the rest of her three classes. My daughter felt an immediate connection with Amber since their phone conversation. Meeting her today for the first time had truly made Gabby look forward to her remaining classes. Thank you Camille and Nancy for a warm welcome. The studio feels like home not only for my daughter but for me as well. It is such a welcoming and comfortable environment, conducive for students to level up their musicality. We are so happy we found you guys!!

I cannot put into words how grateful I am that we found Camille and Leading Note Studios! My daughters have been taking piano lessons there for almost 3 years now, and Camille has taught them so much, not only technically and musically (I am a violinist myself), but she has also been such an important influence on their character. Since Camille has moved on to focus on expanding the studio, we now take piano lessons from Matt and Dan, and couldn't be happier. They are talented, encourage creativity and musicality, but also provide a strong foundation in technique and theory. All the teachers at Leading Notes are of the highest caliber, passionate about music, and truly dedicated. Nancy (the office manager), and Camille's staff are professional, caring, flexible, and personable. We are so blessed to have our girls studying music here!  ~ Amy A.
