History
The Stetson Ridge Music School opened its doors in 2014. Sandy Israel, the head teacher, moved from Brooklyn NY where he'd been teaching and performing for 15 years. The new school is located in a studio in Sandy's beautiful family home in Kentfield, and has grown steadily since inception - mostly through word of mouth.
