My daughter has been learning classical Guitar with Mr.Felix past one year. We throughly enjoy his teaching. She has improved a lot in this 1 year period. He is always interested to teach us beyond books . He makes sure we are following current trends too along with book knowledge. He continuously ask us what more we are interested to learn .The most exciting event is the recital from veksler . We are always amazed to see such a great talent in recitals.

My preschooler loves Veksler Academy’s Music Fun Time. Miss Georgianna is a wonderful teacher. Her style of teaching presents the lessons in a way that is not only fun, but easy to grasp for my son. I am able to support my child’s musical journey at home from what I learn from the weekly class.

Ms Miriam has been exceptional with my 5 year old daughter. Teaching basics to a young child and having the patience when they get distracted, Ms Miriam goes above and beyond. She is always on time, rarely missed classes and made playing piano fun. Our experience with Ms Miriam has been great, highly recommended.I'd also like to add a review for Mr. Josh teaching guitar for my 8 year old son. We are lucky to have a great teacher, my son absolutely loved the lessons and hope that we can keep classes regular.Mila, we really appreciate everything you do to keep our schedules tied together for both kids.

I would like to extend my sincere gratitude to my five year old daughter’s piano teacher, Ms. Miriam at Veksler Milpitas.Her calm and patient demeanor has really helped my daughter develop a liking for piano and music in general. She wants to practice whenever she gets a chance and enjoys the process thoroughly. A lot of credit to Ms.Miriam whose focus on details of finger position and posture has slowly got into the five year old’s head.Keep it up and continue to do what you do better. Good Luck.

My son loves his Piano lessons with Ms Svetlana , she has a very gentle and kind manner , very calm and patient with young kids. But also very encouraging and does expect efforts and sets expectations very well. It’s an art and I like the way she teaches, very graceful and respectful in the way she conducts herself. Also son is showing very good improvement , even with 30 mins weekly. We just need to improve on his home practice.

My daughter Charlotte has been delayed in her development including gross motor skills. She was about 6 months behind on all her milestones, so we looked at ballet being an activity that would be both fun and helpful for her. Ms.Selina and Veksler Academy have really helped her with movement and balance. This past year, we have seen a huge improvement and we are very grateful to Ms.Selina for all her help. Along with her gross motor skills, we have seen Charlotte’s self-confidence, love of dancing and singing, and personality blossom. Thank you again.

My child recently tried a trial drums class at Veksler Academy of Music & Dance (sunnyvale location), and it was a fantastic experience! The instructor was not only highly skilled but also incredibly patient and engaging. They tailored the lesson to match my child's beginner level and made learning the basics of rhythm and drumming techniques fun and interactive.The academy itself has a welcoming environment, and the staff were friendly and accommodating. Overall, a great introduction to music education, and we’re excited to continue learning here!

LOVE Veksler Academy. The space is beautiful, and the staff is friendly and personable. Both my daughters have been students there since 2017, and they absolutely love their dance classes - hip-hop/K-pop, jazz, and ballet! Our teacher Ms.Anastasiya is fantastic, motivating, and kind.Every instructor has the same excellent attitude and desire to give the students a safe place to learn and grow as a dancer and a person. The school organizes spectacular showcases in Convention Center!I highly recommend checking out this place!

My 2 kids started the piano lessons at 6 and 8. They like the teachers and the piano lessons. The teachers are enthusiastic in the music and dedicated to students success. The school has the flexibility to arrange the lessons for my kids at the same time. Otherwise I would have to wait longer for them to finish the class one by one. Piano lessons help kids in self esteem, coordination, and concentration. I would recommend this music school for the parents.

Our son started learning Piano (private lessons) when he was a little over 3.5 yrs old. Even though our son enjoyed listening to music and is/was good at memorizing the tunes/songs ...we were a little skeptical about his ability to stay focused and learn Piano at that young age. Within a month's time we were pleasantly surprised to see his progress... Our son is now nearly 4 yrs 9 months and has already given 2 wonderful recitals. He now religiously practices piano every day...and enjoys attending his weekly classes. The piano teachers at Veksler Academy are very patient while interacting with young kids and yet very professional. We very highly recommend Veksler Academy !
