Huston Performing Arts in Placentia is an amazing performing arts program!…read more We were first introduced to them when they came to our elementary school and produced Seussical and Annie. I expected basic elementary school productions, but I was so surprised and impressed by how professional they were and by the performances of all the students. That experience led us to sign my eight-year-old grandson up for their summer production of James and the Giant Peach, and it was one of the best decisions we could have made. Kris Huston and her team truly focus on teaching the fundamentals of musical theater. The students aren't just learning their parts--they're learning real theater skills and what goes into putting on a quality production. I've watched my grandson grow and polish his skills through these three productions, while gaining confidence and, most importantly, having so much fun. You can see that same growth and training reflected in the wonderful performances of all the students. I look forward to watching him continue with Huston Performing Arts and seeing his skills and love for theater grow over the years. I highly recommend this program to any family looking for a place where their child can truly learn the craft of theater and love doing it!

Aki is an outstanding and highly professional piano teacher. My son learned to play the piano from scratch at Music Lab, and when he began composing his own music, Aki supported and guided him beautifully.

When our daughter first came to the studio, she had the ability to hear and reproduce sounds, but…read morewas struggling to read music. When we realized this, I reached out to Rhys, and he took her on as a student and helped her move forward in a way that was truly remarkable. Rhys taught her how to read music while also nurturing and developing the natural ability she already had. Each week, she was given "one piece for her eyes and one for her ears." He understood that this approach would help her, challenge her, and celebrate what she could naturally do, while also giving her the strong musical foundation she needed. I know that one of the reasons our daughter came to love the viola so much was because of Rhys and his incredible mentorship. He saw her strengths, understood how she learned, and encouraged her in a way that made her feel capable, confident, and inspired. After more than ten years at Mosaic, we can say with complete sincerity that the experience meant so much more to our family than simply learning an instrument. We are so thankful for the patience, wisdom, encouragement, and genuine care Rhys gave our daughter over the years. He not only helped her grow as a musician, but also helped her trust her own abilities - a gift she will carry with her for a lifetime.
