Airshine Music School

Erica has been teaching my daughter piano and I just have to say that she is an awesome teacher!! My daughter is already learning a lot and she is very inspired. She loves her class! Great staff as well, thanks Sophia. I highly recommend Airshine Music School.

Our family adores Miss Erica and Airshine Music School. Our daughter first started taking music lessons from Miss Erica when she headed the music program at La Jolla Village Montessori preschool. We were so grateful when she opened up Airshine music and started offering private and group lessons for piano and ukulele. Our daughter thinks the world of Miss Erica. She is kind-hearted, patient, and an amazing musician. Her teaching style is sweet, supportive, organized and professional. The Airshine Music studio is bright, clean, and airy with a cheery vibe. Our online Zoom lessons have been going great during the pandemic and we are so happy to be able to continue our daughter’s lessons without skipping a beat. We highly recommend Airshine Music School!

I am beyond satisfied with Airshine. My daughter has been a piano student for almost two years and we are blown away by her growth that has been cultivated by her amazing teacher, Miss Erica. Erica spends time with my daughter to explain and teach hard concepts so that the students grow not just through muscle memory but through music theory knowledge as well. The teachers at this music academy are much more personable, warm, and patient than I remember of my music teachers growing up. I’m glad to be giving my daughter this gift that she will cherish her whole life!

My son has been taking piano lessons here for two years. He was shy and uncomfortable the first day but Miss Erica quickly won him over. She is a wonderfully present and kind teacher who has a way with children. He enjoyed his group lessons and watching him learn to play by ear was so cool! He’s steadily made progress at his own pace. The school is excellent with communication and their recitals are a treat. Erica also stepped up early on during quarantine to find a way make Zoom piano lessons work! Working with less than ideal circumstances, we kept up lessons. I would highly recommend Erica & her school to anyone looking for high quality piano lessons for their children, or even for themselves. Once my daughter is a little older, she will begin lessons here too.

Erica Calvert is a great teacher. My daughter had never played an instrument before starting piano lessons. At our first meeting before lessons started, Erica took the time to talk to my daughter about what kind of music she liked and ever since my daughter's assignments have been very well tailored to keep her interested and challenged. Erica is also quite flexible in what pieces are studied, and helped my daughter play piano accompaniment in the school musical after less than 6 months of lessons. Erica also arranged other opportunities for her students to gain performance experience in a fun and supportive setting. You can tell that Erica is a true educator, not just someone who knows how to play piano and gives lessons on the side. She incorporates a good amount of music theory into the lessons, in a way that is age and ability appropriate. She is kind and patient but firm, and I think my daughter has gained far more than piano skills from her piano lessons. I have seen adults and children alike flourish in their musical development thanks to Erica. I couldn't be more pleased with our experience.
