What I like most about RONALD CHAZ BARCENILLA is his caringness and motivation to succeed at each lesson while deriving enjoyment from the activity st the instrument.

Came across this site, am an e-xstudent pianist of this school way back from the school's Australian branch, now a graduate with an Associate Diploma and a Bachelor of Music degree. Not only are the kids motivated to excel in performance, there is also a lot of nurturing. Under the direction of Ronald Chaz Barcenilla, teachers are clearly trained to be nurturing and discipline-oriented.
Through experience, I know these to be the best ingredients for musical growth at the instrument. I highly recommend this school specially to those who want to enjoy their music through a structured curriculum. Thanks Ron for the musical experience and all the challenging memories at the piano.

I am a former student of the Johannes School of Music. I used to take
piano, guitar and singing lessons. My teachers were Ronald Chaz Barcenilla (piano) and
Matt riskam (guitar and singing). Both are extremely good and they treat you as
real people. Now I go to a music teacher in Ibiza, Spain and is/ was way
too strict and old fashioned so I quit. Ronald and Matt's teaching for me was
a great experience and I wil never forget it. My name is Jamie Thompson.

Ronald is extremely passionate about teaching children piano. Both my sons are enrolled and have enjoyed having a positive role model teach them a entertaining skill.

Top school in Los Angeles. All teachers care about the students and their growth musically. This is the ONLY school in all of L.A. and far beyond that offers degree programs through the Trinity College of London. From pre-school to retirement age, students enjoy musical studies ranging from pure hobby to degrees and careers in teaching and performance, all under the watchful eye of Chaz Ronald Barcenilla. Concert pianist, teacher, and administrator: Chaz Ronald is known from Australia to Europe and North America as a gifted performer as well as an amazing teacher who's students have gone on to perform worldwide in concerts at the piano, as well as vocally in tours of top musical shows. Johannes School is tops and well worth the cost.
