My sons, Alan and Mark Ferber, got their musical start as four year olds with the Sandi Bowen Piano Studio. Their years of weekly study with Sandi provided the foundation for their successful musical careers as multi Grammy nominated jazz musicians, performers, composers, and educators. Sandi’s initial keyboard training, sight reading, music theory, and performance practice were critical to their future mastery of their instruments.  Thank you, Sandi!

We joined Sandi’s studio in January 2020 and switched to online lessons just a few months later.  The transition was so smooth because Sandi is well versed in using technology in her teaching.  From the beginning, distance lessons for piano were a success because Sandi is able to leverage the digital format for effective teaching, like using multiple cameras and angles to make sure the kids can see what they need to see. Sandi is always pursuing new avenues to improve the lessons-at-a-distance experience, like using the Forte Studio platform to improve sound quality.

We really appreciate that we don’t have to drive to a physical studio during our busy week anymore. It’s so much easier to fit in lessons between other extracurriculars, homework, and dinner.

Sandi's distance recitals are delightful! We love seeing familiar faces and hearing other student’s progress throughout the year.

I was a student in Sandi’s in–person studio in the San Francisco/Bay Area for five years until my family moved to San Diego. After our move, we continued with online lessons. Her teaching style is phenomenal!  She always makes the lessons interesting and fun. I never enjoyed theory, but Sandi made it fun with carefully chosen materials and online games. Do yourself a favor and start learning here!

I have the fondest memories of my weekly piano lessons and seasonal recitals with Sandi throughout middle and high school.  I couldn’t believe my luck when my own daughter wanted to take lessons with Sandi!  All this time I thought the magic was being in her studio, but in reality it is Sandi herself who fosters a lifetime love of piano.

I cannot recommend Sandi Bowen enough! She is a dedicated, nurturing, and passionate teacher who really gets to know each of her students.  If you want to learn and grow as a musician, Sandi is the best!

My two daughters have been going to Sandi for piano lessons for about eight years.  She’s terrific!  Sandi has a great way of relating to kids and makes learning fun.  She has high expectations without adding a high level of pressure–a tricky balance.  Sandi is a kind, fun person and my daughters enjoy their lessons.  Highly recommended!
