The Capitola Studio

Located in the old Riverview historic district with gorgeous panoramic views of the ocean, old trestle bridge, Soquel Creek, and redwood mountains. A short walk to Shadowbrook restaurant, Capitola village and the beach, the studio is located perfectly for locals and visitors to take a walk or enjoy a meal before or after your lesson. The studio is equipped with a 1896 Steinway upright grand piano with a warm, rich tone, and an expansive bass. This instrument is in impeccable condition for its age and as always, never disappoints the player or the listener with its German quality.
