My son and daughter have been students of Mr. Brett, the owner of Wagner's School of music since 2012. We drive from Carlsbad and it is worth it!! Both kids love coming to class and have never complained about practicing.
The Wagner Piano Method teaches theory and musicianship in a fun setting. The students learn classical and contemporary music, improve their "ear," and develop their music improvisational skills. In the summer they learn other instruments like drums and guitar. Mr. Brett encourages any and all love of music. My oldest is now in a band recording an album at 14 and my daughter, who is 12, plays the piano as a creative outlet and for performances. They both just love music, thanks to Wagner's.
When California shut down for COVID-19 on Friday, March 13, 2020, the school was up and running on Zoom over the weekend. My kids' Monday class went on without a hitch. My kids never missed a class for COVID! Wagner's masterfully handled the pandemic issues safely and with compassion and understanding.
My third child is now six and will be hopefully be starting lessons when the next session starts. I highly recommend sending your children to Wagner's.
