Lynda McManus Piano Company

Me and my daughters (8 and 5 yrs) have been taking piano lessons for last six months. Having moved recently into the neighborhood, we are lucky to have found a great piano studio with excellent instructors. Miss Luxe teaches my daughters. She firmly believes in getting the fundamentals right, at the same time, making it fun for them. Ms Lynda is a very experienced and a wonderful teacher. I like the way she breaks down the lesson into smaller steps and instills confidence to play music pieces, which seem impossible at the beginning of the class. I highly recommend her.

My 6 y/​o daughter has been taking piano lesson with Ms. Lynda for two years now. We couldn’t be more pleased with her progress. My daughter had an obvious musical talent, but didn’t like to work at it (who does?) but Ms. Lynda helped us find ways to make it fun, and now my daughter loves to sit at the piano to play and figure out new songs, and she absolutely adores Ms. Lynda. She also enjoys the recitals (I think because she likes to wear fancy dresses and have people clap for her.)
We don’t have much experience with the other instructors, but they all have been friendly and courteous when we see them in the lobby. I would highly recommend The Lynda McManus Piano Company to anyone.

My wife & I have been sending our boys here for years. Ms Lynda is very talented & has been a great mentor to my boys. Admittedly, I haven’t a grain of music talent but my boys seem to have picked it up naturally with the guidance of Ms Lynda. Needless to say we are very happy with our experience.

My daughter is taking piano lessons with Ms. Lynda for last 3 years and we are very happy with her progress.Ms.Lynda is very professional and talented. She always share positive attitude and also focuses on the feeling and emotions behind each piece.
She has got great sense of what will resonate best with her students whether it comes to practice or theory.
She also does great job of helping to document everything during lesson so it’s easy to practice at home. Every lesson is well organized .
My daughter look forward to her weekly lessons and is always excited to go. Ms. Lynda hosts summer and winter recitals for her students and it’s always a wonderful event.
She is great teacher, wonderful person and amazing pianist. I highly recommend her!

My 9 year old son takes Piano lessons with Ms Lynda. He started over a year ago and we have only wonderful things to say about Ms Lynda. My son loves the pace, instruction style and personal yet professional and focused approach Ms Lynda follows in her lesson plan. She is very quick to gauge the aptitude and needs of individual students and sets the right pace. Our goal for our son is learning the art of learning and enjoying the progress he makes every step of the way and we meet that goal very easily at the lessons! Thanks a lot Ms Lynda!!!

My 8 yr old daughter has been taking piano lessons with Miss Armena at Lynda McManus Piano Co for about 6 months now. Overall we’ve been quite pleased with the pace and fundamentals that she has been taught. Everyone we’ve come into contact with there has been very nice (instructors, parents and of course, Lynda). My daughter never fights going to piano lessons and frequently tells me how much she loves her teacher. From what we’ve experienced, I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them! The only reason I gave 4 stars rather than 5 is that it is a bit spendy and I personally am not a fan of the way they do their billing.

I gave it one star, but I must confess that this is not justice… I would like to give it 0 stars (or negative stars if possible). This review is for MIss Armena only, since I did not interact with others in the office.
We moved to the San Ramon area recently. My daughter, which has been having lessons for years, decided to continue her education. We called the office, and Lynda called me back (by the way, I did not interact much, but she seems to be a really nice person).
We scheduled a trial class last week. We thought the class was OK. The teacher was nice, but nothing exceptional. After class, she offered us a few options for times, but most of them were during the day and too close to school hours. So we decided to keep it on Tuesday evening.
When we arrived for next week’s class, there was another student inside her classroom. We waited for about 12 minutes and then she finally left the classroom to talk to us.
Miss Armena (the name of the teacher) tried to explain to us that we did not call to confirm, I then told her that we had her confirmation paper (with her own handwriting) with the schedule for next class, and then she said that she took another student that would stay for 45 minutes (instead of the usual 30 minutes) instead, and that she had no other available times.
Miss Armena seemed confused and we could clearly see that she ditched us in favor of the other student that would stay longer (and probably pay more as well)
I then simply thanked her, and left.
I do *NOT* recommend piano lessons here for anyone, stay away if you can.

A great place for Piano or vocal instruction! The owner is so sweet, and her and her instructors are the best! All are VERY talented and really connect with the students, whether children or adults. I can’t sing their praises enough! I’m a big fan.

I am very impressed with this studio. Lynda is a kind and talented teacher as is all of her staff. The teachers seem to really connect with the children, and offer lessons to adults as well. A wonderful learning environment!

Our daughter was wanting to quit piano with her previous teacher at another studio and since she has been at Lynda McManus taking lessons she has learned more in 6 months here and actually likes it now. This is a great place to learn!
