I signed up my son and was happy with them until the price went up with no explanation, they said just because. We didn't want to go there anymore its a shame cause my son loved and i did to to that point. There was no contract because I share custody and dont have my son every day with me or every weekend. At that point we quit, if it would happened now maybe i would not rushed that decision, now money situation is better, i just didnt like the way the situation was handled. Other than that it was great, good teachers, i even played piano a bit in the open room while waiting for my son.

After playing guitar as a hobby for quite some time, I wanted to learn more than just chords. After sitting down with Danny and telling him what I wanted to accomplish, he provided several scale charts (pentatonic, etc.) to study. Michael (my instructor) has a clear understanding of the goals I want to achieve, and has been instrumental in helping me attain them. Great place to learn!

My son took drum lessons here for a couple years and it really made a huge difference in his confidence and playing. His instructor Matt was very patient and genuinely cares about helping our son improve. I don't think Matt works there anymore but everyone we've dealt with there has been wonderful. Looking forward to returning for more lessons.

Elaine and Larissa are both fantastic piano instructors, with great resources and personal attention, and a patient, nurturing style. I only had to stop because of injury (not related to piano), but cannot wait to resume once healed. You will be pleased working with either of these capable instructors!

I am 66 years old, retired highway employee and have been taking guitar lesson from Mr. Danny Pena, the proprietor for the pass 14 months. Danny is a joy to take lessons from, his lessons are gear to the level of the individual student. No pressure is applied for students to learn their material as soon as possible, instead Mr. Pena is very patient and very encouraging towards his students. I have not meet the entire music staff but those instructors I've meet were upbeat and genuinely interest in providing top notch music instructions.
I look forward to each and every lesson each week. Each year an annual music review is conducted allowing parents, friends and relatives an opportunity to witness their child's progress and enjoy a potluck lunch afterwards. a wonderful social event. MA's hard working staff put on a marvelous event. From my experience at MA, I would strongly recommend making MA your music professionals for all your musical instruction needs. Musicians Academy is conveniently located next to Planet Fitness at SunRise Mall.

I have enjoyed my lessons so much. I had music lessons (accordion) all my childhood, but as a child any voice instructions were group lessons at school or church. My teacher for voice at the academy has given me so much confidence. Jillian's instructions have helped me improve pitch and voice range, teaching me where to focus and project sound in my head. Her instructions are always polite and constructive. Many thanks to Jillian and the Academy.

I was led to Danny through South Texas Music Mart and my son is learning so much and having a blast! He's only been taking guitar lessons for a few months and already wants an electric guitar! He always looks forward to his lessons. Danny is the best!

My daughter has been taking lessons with Danny for several months. He is a talented and personable musician, whose knowledge and patience keeps my daughter excited about mastering the craft.

My son had no musical education prior to working with Danny. He wanted to learn the guitar. So we asked at Guitar Center who they would recommend, without hesitation they said Danny. My son has A.D.D. and this has helped him at home and at school. Danny is great with him and is making great progress.
