Mountain Music School is a local, independent music school that has been proudly serving Scotts Valley since 2017.

Parent and student feedback includes comments from an MMS parent who reports four years of voice lessons for her daughter and notes the care and attention given by the staff. A piano student describes learning piano with no previous musical training and calls the school a gem for people of all ages and backgrounds. Another parent and student describes taking guitar lessons with Jerad since 2021 (with the parent joining in 2024), noting Jerad’s patient and encouraging approach and recommending Mountain Music School.
