The teaching staff at Vibo Music Center boasts an impressive pedigree that could rival any world-class orchestra: a guitar teacher with a master's degree in composition; a drumming instructor with 25 years of touring experience; a violinist trained under one of China's top masters. And they're all dedicated to training the next generation of virtuosos.

At locations in San Francisco and San Bruno, these instructors lead classes in a full range of instruments, teaching kids and adults to tickle the keys of a piano, lay down rhythms on bass and guitar, and even pluck out tunes on the ukulele. And the teachers don't just limit themselves to individual and group lessons; Vibo also brings students together into ensembles, which give musicians the chance to hone the intuition and cooperation needed for group play alongside their solo instrument work.
