Free Assessment of Aptitude, Readiness and Learning Style

Perhaps the most unique service we offer is a free, personalized evaluation of your child's innate musical aptitude and learning style. This is a fun, informal time with parents and children (ages 3 and up) in which we play simple games that help identify each child's unique learning preferences, innate musical aptitudes and  developmental readiness for various types of instruction. 

happy girls being shyEven parents of the shyest children are usually surprised to observe how responsive their children are to this fun, positive learning experience.  Kids discover "Music learning is fun!" and parents learn more about their kids as our music education specialists share their valuable insights. Together, parents and evaluators can then custom-design the most suitable type of program for each child. To make an appointment for this free assessment, just give us a call at (408) 445-2787!

Actual Customer Testimonials:

"I wanted to let you and everyone at the Music Place know that the recital was lovely and it was so child-oriented. It was nice to be at a recital where everyone was there to make the children feel good about themselves -- it wasn't a competition." -- Vanetia J.

"I just wanted to take the time to tell you and your staff how much I appreciate all that you have done for our daughter Jasmine.  She has really grown and matured since she has been attending The Music Place. It's such a joy and blessing to see how her skills have been developing over the years and how you have brought out her hidden talents." -- Ottielie A.
