My child and I attended the trial class for the K-Pop Music program featuring K-Pop Demon Hunters,…read moreand while we truly appreciate the creativity behind offering a class inspired by K-Pop and love seeing how popular the genre has become with younger students, I wanted to share some honest feedback. Although the theme and the advertisement of K-Pop is great, the class itself did not include any actual Korean elements. The "K" in K-Pop stands for Korean, yet the song sheets handed out were entirely in English, and students were specifically instructed to sing only the English versions and not the Korean lyrics. This makes the class feel misaligned with what K-Pop actually is, and in that sense, calling it a K-Pop class feels like unintentional false advertising. I feel advertising it as a vocal class featuring hit songs from the movie K-Pop Demon Hunters (English Version) would be better than calling it a "K-Pop Class." To give one example, I overheard a student telling her mom afterward that all the Korean parts had been replaced with English words and she excitedly said she now "knows Korean," which highlights the confusion this can create. We genuinely appreciate the effort to bring modern music into the curriculum, and we think a class inspired by K-Pop could be wonderful with some adjustments. We simply wanted to share this feedback in case it helps refine the program. Thank you for taking the time to read this, and we wish you the best with your classes.

I've been bringing my daughter here for 6 months now & we're really happy with everything! She…read morestarted piano here a month before she turned 4. We did a meet-and-greet at another music academy & it did not go well! Not sure how your almost 4 year old was/is but mine can be pretty stubborn. Without getting into it, I knew finding a teacher that worked well with younger kids would be so important! I initially reached out to Desert Ridge Music Academy via email & they responded the same day! They were thorough & answered all my questions, as well as worked with me on a class time & the instructor I wanted. Before I get into how much we love our instructor, I have to talk about the lady who runs the front & answers the phones...she's amazing! She's a grandma & acts like the grandma of all the kids! She's so warm & fun! She really helped my sometimes brutally shy daughter, feel comfortable! We look forward to seeing her every week! Now, as far as our piano instructor - Yarou - she's outstanding! Clearly a talented, renowned pianist, but also a really great teacher! She's patient with my daughter while still being consistent & continually finding ways to reach her on her level. I really appreciate her effort, which is totally paying off! It's amazing to see my now 4 & a half year old reading basic notes, playing "Mary Had A Little Lamb" on our grand piano & even toy pianos, and being excited to continue to learn!

As the mother of a musician, I've learned far more about instruments and accessories than I ever…read moreknew before. I still may not be able to identify everything, but I'm getting better. While I was in town visiting my son, he mentioned that there was a music store not far from us that he'd like to visit. I wasn't prepared for the size of this place-it's far more than just a "music store." He had a gleeful look of awe as he admired the selection of brass instruments and was able to play a few of them too. He'll be ready to make a purchase soon, so he wants to know for sure which one is just right. If you don't quite know what you're looking for, or need some elevated service, you might find someone, you might not. It's a more laid-back approach to customer service-we had to seek someone out for help. But I suppose I prefer that over an in-your-face sales person trying to close a deal.

Finally, I received a call apologizing from the owner saying they sadly had to shut down their business and I could arrange to return these violins at no cost to myself due to this large inconvenience. Then I receive another call a week later repeating the same conversation as if the person had not already spoken with me. We were to arrange the return of the violins but they give me a residential address instead of a business address. I advised that I did not feel safe going to someone's home and I'd like to meet at the place of business and they claim they will meet me at the place of business however they will then have to charge me my "past due" fees even though they were the ones who went missing for months and already agreed twice that I am not responsibly for their business randomly closing with no word!!

The cherry on top- he had it all fixed, and tuned within 20 minutes for a grand total of $5. My son is already begging to go back and explore more of the store! We will be back!!
