About Us | piano tutor

Trisha is a dedicated and passionate music educator with over 20 years of experience in teaching piano. Her journey in music began at the age of 7 when she first learned to play the piano, igniting a lifelong love for the art form. Under the mentorship of her piano teacher, Esterlinda Dizon, Trisha discovered her talent for teaching and has since committed herself to sharing the joy of music with students of all ages and skill levels.

Specializing in group keyboard classes, Trisha finds fulfillment in nurturing the musical growth of young beginners while also catering to the needs of students at various stages of development. She takes pride in her ability to create an engaging and supportive learning environment where each student can thrive.

Trisha holds a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and a Bachelor of Music in Music Education from San Jose State University. During her time at SJSU, she had the privilege of studying piano under the esteemed Dr. Gwendolyn Mok, further refining her skills and pedagogical approach.

In addition to her teaching endeavors, Trisha enjoys collaborating with her students in performances, fostering a sense of camaraderie and musical expression. Her dedication to music education and her commitment to student success make her a valued mentor and educator in the field.

Mary DeLeon is the manager and co-owner of NorCal Music and Arts Center. She was a magna cum laude graduate of San Jose State University under the Liberal Studies Program for Teacher Preparation. She was in early childhood education for many years until she became partner and co-owner of NCMAC in June 2017. 

Mary believes in education as a life-long journey and that students, both young and old, have the capacity to learn in their own unique ways. She encourages all students to pursue their passions and to always have a sense of wonder about the world. She strives to live life creatively and beautifully, and hopes to inspire all those around her to do the same. 

  As young kids, Trisha and Mary have always loved to play together. They used to pretend to play school and take turns being student and teacher. As the years went by, they dreamed of owning a school or business to educate youngsters in an artistic and musical way. In December of 2016, their dreams came true as they became the proud owners of NorCal Music & Arts Center. 

 NCMAC is a labor of love for the two sisters and they love to welcome all the students like they are part of their family. 

"We look forward to continuing to be a part of your musical journey."
