My daughter was so excited to start violin lessons. The studio was very helpful in getting her set up. The staff is very friendly to kids and adults. Her teacher is wonderful assessing her skills and making the lessons are relevant and fun all while learning. Great studio to partner with for your kids musical journey!

My daughter started guitar lessons not to long ago and likes it. First time playing an instrument, the place is small but it does have a few chairs you can wait. Or just wait in the car. I sat in for one lessons and I think 30 min isn't enough time for anything after the note taking and set it up/breaking down. I do like the instructor he's awesome, kind and informative.

We have just started music lessons at Murietta Academy of Music and Performing Arts. My son's teacher for private guitar lessons is very patient and understanding, being that my son is very new and hardly picked up a guitar before. We have only taken a couple lessons and my son is so motivated to learn guitar (knowing exactly what to expect has helped ALOT) and the time frames before he will be able to play parts of songs, that he can't wait for his next lesson! So glad we chose them for his musical teachings!

My daughter recently started taking Ukulele lessons. She's had a few lessons and is already showing understanding of the instrument. Her instructor is hilarious and she enjoys her weekly lesson.
