Our daughter has been taking lessons here for three years and still going strong. It's not only a…read moreplace for kids (and adults) to take musical lessons but more like an environment that nurtures creativity. Other places will turn your child into a mindless instrument playing machine. This place gives artistic minds a giant playground to explore, create and grow. They allow students to not only hone their skills on their instrument of choice but also gives them the opportunity to write their own songs, try other instruments, showcase their talents at different venues in front of different people. The teachers here are awesome and talented. The director, Mrs. Lee is great! She's approachable, reasonable, sweet, generous and caring. Bottom line, I highly recommend Torrance Arts Academy!

This was sad, I really wanted to take vocal lessons from them but the experience in onboarding was…read morelow vibrational and lousy in customer service. I was rescheduled several times and when I came In there was No warm welcome and she didn't even confirm my name when I went for my trial session. The instructor was nice but super limited availability and i didn't really go over much technique in the trial compared to the last vocal training I had before. We also didn't get started until about 12 min into the trial lesson which was a paid 30 min session. My honest feedback is that there should be a quick client phone call to go over details and keep background and getting to know each other to a quick 3 min elevator pitch introduction because that took up paid time. I squeezed my hope for a positive interaction with reception when we finished and the lady in front hardly gave eye contact and wasn't naturally kind or welcoming. She scrambled to get me onboarded after I prompted her to get me signed up and she grazed over fees like I already knew everything even though we never went over any details about the academy. ( I did not ) Music is a fine art, I guess I was expecting to be ushered into the process with a little inspiration... the investment didn't feel worth it for me. The next day I read some of the reviews and the responses to them and was really turned off by what I saw. Honestly the 2nd star is only because it would have been really nice to work with Liz and Summer was nice on the phone when I spoke to her, but the energy was so heavy and dense in the onboarding process it really rubbed me the wrong way and I couldn't see myself coming to take lessons for the next 6 months.

We had trial lessons elsewhere and noticed a big difference in Ms Asuka's approach, like another reviewer noted a great balance between fun and discipline. Her explanations are clear and easy to understand for my 6 year old. She keeps the lessons interesting and keeps my kid interested in practicing every week. I definitely notice the progress every week. Still too early for the recital experience but look forward to it.

Learning the piano is something I have wanted to do my whole life. However, as an adult learner, I…read morehad a lot of apprehension about beginning piano lessons (I wouldn't be able to learn, that I would be too slow, etc). However, upon meeting with Yumemi and finding out about the studio (her experience, credentials, etc), I decided to take the leap and try it. I'm so happy I did! She is a wonderful teacher and is able to customize a learning plan so you really feel like you're making progress. I walk away from each lesson feeling super productive and excited about what I have learned. I highly recommend her! It's so fun to start playing a lot of the pieces that I have loved listening to my whole life. Also, I feel like I would be remiss if I didn't address her problem-solving skills. This has been most invaluable to me. Learning the piano is not for the weak of heart, but her patience, kindness and best of all, her ability to understand the way you think and best how to troubleshoot your difficulties is HUGE. I am never frustrated for long and I think that is why I have been able to be so successful! I'd give 10 stars if I could! ;)
