I would recommend a fun intro to piano and music with Jon's School of Music. His classes are exciting and dynamic and every element teaches music vocabulary, notes on the keyboard, and/ or rhythm. The songs he creates also teach these lessons and they're quite catchy so your little one will want to sing them often, thereby reinforcing all of those wonderful lessons. All 3 of my children have gone to his classes and benefited greatly. They all have a love of music and use the music vocabulary in normal conversation. It's pretty funny to hear a kid say piano when they want quiet or decrecendo when a fire truck siren is going away. And on top of all that, the classes are seriously fun. I always leave with a big smile on my face. I cannot recommend him more highly.
Hello! I highly recommend Jon's School of Music. He is wonderful with children! I actually reviewed his school here

He's just great and my kids love him. He's perfect for a young child interested in exploring the piano (my kids started when they were 1 and 3) but he's wonderful for older kids too. Mine are now 5 and 7 and they still love learning with him! You can read up on him here http://www.jsom.com/ and he does trial classes so that your daughter can check it out before commiting. Good luck!!
We strongly recommend Jon's School of Music (check the pictures and video he has posted on his website at www.jsom.com ). Our son started with Jon at 4 years old in a Drums and Keyboards class with about 4 other kids (and a parent each). He holds the classes at 1790 Shattuck Ave. The kids play a variety of instruments (rotating through) with plenty of keyboards. Jon keeps the songs driving forward usually with his kid sized drum kit or keyboard while giving vocal hints of the upcoming notes to hit .....very talented how he multitasks to communicate with each kid while the song continues. The kids are started on some of Jon's own songs (he gives a CD of these songs to each student which are great to listen to in the van) to learn the notes on the keyboard. After a few classes each kid starts to compose their own songs and play together as a band. Then Jon works with each kid to develop each song (with lyrics too) and the class works these songs into the rotation........really great songs (and rightfully proud songwriting kids) and my son still play's his song now 5 years later.
Jon is great with the kids and let's the kids express humor just enough to not be disruptive to the creation of music. My son has continued with both drums and piano, but the piano is stronger at this point. He evolved into taking individual lessons from Jon, working on something my son has heard like a Coldplay song on piano and then Jon will give him a new drum beat to work with. Our son has taken breaks from Jon's instruction, but then goes back to try something new. Watching Jon work one on one is amazing......he works from the other side of the keyboard and watches my son play and then takes over from the backside to demonstrate the next bit.....so my son never feels crowded or has to yield the keyboard to the teacher, they just go back and forth and he gets so much into his young brain in a short time. Go to the website (www.JSOM.com) and you will see plenty. Then try a class. Bottom line......Jon knows instruments and he knows how kids learn music.
Hi! We have been going to Jon's School of Music in Berkeley with our son since he was about 2 (now he's almost 5) and we love it. You get exposure to lots of different instruments but you do learn on a keyboard. Jon teaches rythems, beats, melodies, and music theory in a fun and silly way that really resonates with the kids.

I highly recommend Jon's School of Music in Berkeley! My 4-year-old daughter has been going to a weekly music class with Jon for about a year and loves it! Jon has an amazing ability to make the children feel at ease and have fun while they learn to play various instruments, including piano. His energy and enthusiasm are truly unmatched when I compare him to other music classes that we have taken in other cities and in Oakland. He has a large number of classes at various times in order to accommodate any schedule. My daughter was initially somewhat shy, but not she actively wants to play the piano, and sings solo songs with a microphone comfortably in front of a room of kids and adults. Her preschool teachers commented on her progress just a few weeks after she started attending Jon's classes. They described it as a quantum leap in her ability to feel confident playing instruments and participating in their music program. My daughter looks forward to attending class every week. Jon is a great gift to the Berkeley community--you and your kids will absolutely love it!
