Pluckd Unlocks Your Child’s Greatest Potential

Pluckd Studio was started by two best friends, Roslyn Huang & David Gale. Coming from different backgrounds in life, their love for music brought them together. Their dream was simple: create a music community that would appreciate, understand, challenge, and embrace every child just as they are.

The result? Pluckd Studio! A place that revolves around children’s unlimited potential. We promote both creative learning and critical thinking through building a love for music. This helps students not only master the strings and piano, but learn skills they can use throughout life. Overall, we encourage each and every student to be their best.

The right teachers make all the difference. That’s why we balance traditional instruction with positive encouragement. Doing this builds students’ confidence in themselves and their abilities. When music is taught within a community, it allows students to become inspiring, driven, and well-rounded individuals—and accomplishing this is our ultimate goal.
