At Zoe Blake and Co. Instruction, we are passionate about making music accessible and enjoyable to everyone. Since 2016, our team of experienced music educators has offered private, personalized lessons in our students’ homes, tailored to their individual needs and interests.
We believe that music education is a powerful tool for self-expression, creativity, and learning. We also know that music is proven to enhance an overall education beyond the specific musical goals of each student. Our instructors strive to create a fun, comfortable learning environment and provide our students with the tools they need to reach their full potential.
Teaching 100+ happy music students in the Bay Area since 2016
“They have this unique, hard-to-find combination of being super well-suited to young kids, a calm pedagogical style, and a deep care for music. Grace is an incredibly warm, effervescent, encouraging teacher who has helped my son develop a positive relationship to music and learn about goal-setting and consistent practice.” – Emily
Hi There!
My name is Zoë.
​
Music has been a central part of my life for as long as I can remember, from learning piano at age 5 to performing as a teen soloist in high school through young adulthood while studying at Berklee College of Music in Boston.
​
While at Berklee, I became involved in a multitude of ensembles to be exposed to and learn about various genres and areas of music. From Celtic Ensemble, Baroque Ensemble, and the Berklee Background Singers Group, I loved being involved in and collaborating with the talented musicians around me. I majored in Professional Music and Music Education with a mission to bring music into to my home community with a kind, adaptable, and knowledgable approach.
