Welcome to Step Up Music Vallejo™



Step Up Music Vallejo™ has been in existence since 2009. We are proud to say that our classes and lessons became an instant hit with Vallejo families. Our activities with schools were extremely well received and our concerts and seminars drew music enthusiasts from the entire Bay Area to Vallejo.

We are grateful to all of our patrons for supporting music education! As our card says: It may take years, but she will thank you!

Physical location on Sonoma Boulevard closing!



Step Up Founder and Creator Ariane Cap got hired to join Cirque du Soleil as a bassist for a new touring show, so the physical location on Sonoma Boulevard will be closing. Here is what she has to say:

Creating and building Step Up Music has been a rich and rewarding experience. Since I am literally 'running away with the Circus' I see no way to continue the physical operations, however. Step Up will continue as a referral service, so 647-3050 is still the number to call for access to a stellar crew of handpicked instructors. We will refer students to the best fit. Music education must go on and we are very proud to have played a role in fostering musical growth for Vallejo families. We will continue our commitment with excellent referrals. A big thank you to all students, parents, teachers and staff for more than two years of wonderful music!

Hi Ariane--I have been really impressed with what you were able to accomplish at StepUp--so much so that I was shocked when you pointed out that it had been only two years! I'm sorry you had to give it up as I think this will be a real loss to the community. Good luck with the Cirque and please keep in touch from time to time.
