Trisha and Mary became the owners of NorCal Music & Arts Center in December 2016, and NCMAC is described as a labor of love for the two sisters who welcome students like they are part of their family. Trisha has over 20 years of experience teaching piano and holds a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and a Bachelor of Music in Music Education from San Jose State University, where she studied piano under Dr. Gwendolyn Mok. Mary DeLeon is the manager and co-owner, is a magna cum laude graduate of San Jose State University under the Liberal Studies Program for Teacher Preparation, and has many years of experience in early childhood education. The mission of NorCal Music & Arts Center states that music is a powerful tool, that everyone can become a great musician through learning and passion, and that the center is committed to helping each student realize their potential through personalized music lessons. The center notes that music lessons at a young age can help boost kids’ brainpower and have a positive association with academic achievement, and that music and art classes give children a better chance of being recognized for academic achievement and a better chance of excelling in science or math, with much of music lessons relying on memory. NorCal Music & Arts Center welcomes everyone from all walks of life and experience levels, offers a curriculum described as both comprehensive and advanced, and provides high-quality private and group music lessons by dedicated teachers.
NorCal Music & Arts Center serves families from Sunnyvale, Santa Clara, Cupertino, Mountain View, Palo Alto, Los Altos, Saratoga, Milpitas, Fremont, and San Jose. One family can take multiple instruments on the same day. The center also offers both physical and online music classes.
A parent from Los Altos, CA, shared that a 12-year-old child has been taking ongoing guitar lessons for six months with Mr. Eric at NorCal Music & Arts Center, learning different ways to play electric and acoustic guitar and more about music notes, and described Mr. Eric as very knowledgeable. The same parent described the initial paperwork and billing process as very easy, mentioned that the center was flexible about changes in their agreements, stated that the pricing is in the mid range compared to others while getting quality services, and said they highly recommend NorCal Music.
