This business is 100% inappropriate with children. I have been there several years and it has gone…read moredown hill over the last year. My child (10yo) was pressured into doing things in the theater program; she has told the directors she was uncomfortable several times over a few weeks and that was disregarded. She is suffering from PTSD, humiliated in front of her peers, and was belittled by a 16yo "director" on a performance night. Completely unacceptable. Also, more than half way through this Springs production, one of the two directors decided to leave the company....thoughts!? I do NOT recommend this business and hope to save others from such a negative experience. Everything stated here is entirely true; I am seeking necessary action.

I normally don't write reviews, but my recent experience with the Guitar Center San Marcos Lessons…read moreDepartment needs to be shared, especially for parents considering lessons for their children. My son has been taking guitar lessons here for months and absolutely loves his instructor, Tristan. Unfortunately, the issue isn't with the instructors, it's with the front-end communication and customer service. After two of my credit cards were compromised, a number of auto-renew subscriptions needed updating. At no point, phone, text, or in person--did anyone from Guitar Center notify me of a declined payment, despite the Lessons Lead repeatedly claiming they "called" and "spoke to me in person." I checked my call history. The last call I received from Guitar Center was October 16, and it was simply Tristan confirming my son was running two minutes late. That's it. No billing conversation. No declined-card conversation. No warning. Nothing. Beyond that, my son (a minor) was physically in the store for his lessons throughout November. If someone had truly spoken to me "in person," as claimed, I would (1) remember it and (2) logically update my payment method on the spot. That's basic common sense. But no one--neither Lily nor Greg, the two people supposedly escalating the issue--ever approached us. In fact, I couldn't identify them if I tried, because no one ever actually spoke to us. The most upsetting part? My son was left sitting alone, waiting, because his lessons were suddenly canceled without any communication. No one told him. No one told me. That is not acceptable treatment of a child. When I reached out for clarification, I received a generic, copy-and-paste email insisting they had reached out "multiple times." They hadn't. And when I pointed this out, with dates and call records, the response doubled down instead of acknowledging the missteps. I pride myself on honesty and integrity, especially when it comes to my children. Being told that things happened that objectively did not happen is frustrating, dismissive, and frankly unprofessional. To be absolutely clear: No calls were made. No in-person conversations occurred. No texts were sent. And my child should never have been left unattended because of an internal communication breakdown. The instructors are great,but the lesson administration needs serious improvement. Parents deserve transparent communication, accountability, and accuracy, especially when the wellbeing and experience of a child are involved. I hope management takes this feedback to heart so other families don't have the same experience. My son loved his lessons and his instructor, but the customer service side made what should have been an easy fix both stressful and disappointing.

My daughter, Maggie takes piano from Dave because she likes all the "young" music. Their team can teach you any style your heart desires. They are both very flexible with our crazy schedule, which I appreciate enormously! The convenience of having an at-home lesson is very rare today. They show up at our door on time, ready to teach with a huge smile. David is wonderful with my daughter. He has an uncanny ability to make her laugh and learn all at the same time. I would recommend American Music Academy to anyone who wants to learn music. Did I also mention - David is multi-talented - he plays many different instruments AND he also teaches vocals. Thanks for bringing music into our lives!

My neighbor's daughter took lessons from American Music Academy on multiple instruments and is in the high school band as a freshman (rarely happens). I can't recommend American Music Academy enough!

She gave my daughter the option to wash her hands before the lesson too which was great.

Ms Bella is quinnessential piano teacher- she's great at her craft as a musician and a teacher…read more She's friendly and stern and pushes kids to do their best. Each lesson focuses on a different aspect of the pieces each student is working on. This helps each student fine-tune how they perceive their timing, fingering, speed, etc. I like the slow, focused, practical approach detail. It breaks it down so the students can focus on just one thing at a time without getting overwhelmed. Ms Bella teaches both traditional piano theory as well as the Suzuki Method. We've just started the Suzuki approach which focuses on listening to simple tunes with very distinct patterns and then being able to replicate them- a very different approach that is great for auditory learners. It's only been a couple months, but I am very grateful for our lessons so far!
