Commitment to Excellence. Care for the Whole Student.

At Plumrose Piano Studio, private lessons are designed around the individual. We cover the complete musical toolkit—note-reading, technique, theory, history, and general musicianship—across all genres, including classical, jazz, and pop.

Whether learning to read complex scores, decode lead sheets, or write original songs, traditional lessons are elevated with educational games, interactive activities, and modern technology to keep students engaged, motivated, and excited to practice.

Warm, connected piano faculty

Supported Students Begin with Supported Teachers.

Our studio thrives on a unique collaborative environment. Plumrose instructors work together to exchange creative tools, share best practices, and continuously grow as educators and performing artists.

By investing in a warm, connected faculty, we ensure every student benefits from the collective wisdom, kindness, and energy of our entire studio community.

Music education reaches far beyond the piano bench. Our holistically-minded approach aims to cultivate confidence, initiative, perseverance, and artistic expression in every student—preparing them whether they dream of a career in music or simply wish to enrich their lives through creative expression.

  • "I have loved the whole team at Plumrose. Susie was wonderful getting me set up with the right instructor and Abby has been amazing through and through. Just cannot say enough wonderful things!

    —Hillary H.

  • "Jason is an excellent fit for my son. Susie has a variety of teachers whose style can match what you are looking for in an instructor. The studio also offers a lot of "extras" such as recitals, concerts, and other events. If you are looking for a piano studio, I recommend!!"

    —Sara C.

  • "Susie and her team are great to work with, very professional (and personable!) and my kids love their piano lessons and look forward to learning with Susie!"

    —Anna G.

  • "We looked for a piano teacher and/or studio and went for trial at a few places in SF. But we knew Plumrose was a right fit -- our teacher offers a very good balance of rigor and care. In a matter of six month, our son knew how to read the music score and understand the basics of musicology, while embracing his love for music."

    —K.S.

  • "Our teacher is Ms. Abby, and she is absolutely fantastic! Ms. Abby is patient and understanding, and most importantly, sets appropriate expectations. Ms. Abby celebrates our son's strengths, and guides him in areas that need more support. When our son hits a plateau, her gentle encouragements motivate him to push foward."

    —Kai Z.

  • "Jo was our 8-year old’s teacher today. She is a very gifted teacher, who clearly enjoys teaching. During session, she was very involved and supportive. She’s positive, upbeat, and attuned. If you have a child who tends toward perfectionism or shuts down during overwhelm, they may do best with a gently attuned teaching style—and Jo delivers. She makes it fun to learn (celebratory hi-fives and all)!

    —Peter & Billy

  • "I have worked with three of the teachers at this studio. I changed teachers due to scheduling conflicts with my job, but all three of the teachers have been awesome. All are incredibly warm and kind people. I would recommend learning from them if you have the spare time to practice piano.

    —Daniel S.
