... Ariane is a talented musician with the rare gift that I admire in great teachers: She is able to match her teaching to the learning abilities of her students.

I am a multi-platinum Grammy award winning music producer. I am also a Vallejo bassist who needed a refresher. I'm now blessed to know, and be a student of the amazing Ariane Cap.

Welcome to Step Up Music Vallejo!
We are an innovative music school offering a variety of one-on-one and group lessons. We believe:
that making music is a fun and healthy activity at any age!
that encouragement and motivation are key!
that traditional teachings (a solid foundation of theory, reading and various styles) paired with an innovative approach (improvisation, learning by ear) is best
that the best music teacher is not only a teacher but also an active performer

My name is Ariane Cap, I am the founder and creator of Step Up Music Vallejo. Step Up Music is a modern teaching space offering one-on-one instruction in a variety of instruments, as well as seminars, concerts, group lessons, and even salsa dancing every Tuesday!

"I've been enjoying hearing Ariane play for a few years now. Her monstrous groove grabbed my attention the first time I heard her. I am happy about the possibilities of Step Up Music. This should be a great benefit to all musicians. I look forward to visiting. I can use a lesson from Ariane myself."
