Chuck James Music Studio

My daughter, Abriana, took lessons at the stadium mall location for two years. During that time, she did a few recitals to help build her self confidence.
She later went on to win Hawaii Stars Keiki division in July of 2015, and KZOO Karaōke Festival, 12 and under division on November 8, 2015.
We have to give much credit to Chuck James and his professional staff for creating my daughter’s foundation to build on. Her coach (James) was awesome and very supportive!
I highly recommend Chuck James studios as a place for learning!

Great place. My daughter goes here for voice lessons. Josh is her instructor and she is more than happy with him. She’s been going here for several months now. The staff are friendly, chairs available for parents to wait, pricing is descent — military discount (yay!) and they call ahead of time if the instructor will be out. If the instructor is out, they will prorate or offer you a make up class. You must cancel 24hrs ahead of your day if you want to have a make up class. They will also prorate if you will be on vacation (but you must tell them ahead of time).

My girls love their teachers at Chuck James. Its a professional environment, studios look nice, and they have a curriculum for each instrument. Chuck is a good guy who sees potential in everyone.

My son is taking saxophone lessons with Mr Aaron. He has learned so much since December. This is the second instrument he is takings lessons with Chuck James Music Studios. The first instrument is guitar with Mr. Roshan at the Wahiawa location. Since Mr. Roshan’s retirement, he is now with Mr. Alika.

When my daughter started taking piano lessons here, I was never given an exact pricing plan. She took 4 lessons and still no plan. Then all of a sudden the lady who I guess is in charge of payments tells me I owe them this much. It was insane! I brought my daughter in the next day and they cancelled her time slot without warning!!! Absolutely not cool, my daughter was very disappointed!

I have been taking piano lessons from Chuck James Music Studio for about 2 months now. I was a returning student prior. I love this studio because of the location, I reside right in Ewa. Okay so my instructor is Aaron and he’s an AMAZING TEACHER! He’s patient and really takes the time to explain piano music and how both hands incorporate to form the staff. He makes me laugh and I feel very comfortable during music lessons.
I’m never frustrated or feeling down about not knowing how to play or struggling to find finger positioning for reading music. He makes it easy and assures me to take it slow when reading music and playing for the first time. He teaches me from a piano instruction booklet, which I’m happy to say I found on Kindle version.
So I put my IPad up on my piano at home and practice with confidence. He also makes copies of what we learned and played during our sessions so I can take home to practice. Lessons are ½ an hour. Which works great for me because it’s not overwhelming or too much info to take in. All in all, I really enjoy my piano lessons and my instructor. He’s great! (:
