My 7-year-old son has been taken weekly ukulele lessons at Evan's Music Academy for the past two years, and it has been such a wonderful experience. The 30-minute one-on-one lessons are both fun and challenging. His teacher, Mr. Alexey, is great with kids and he has the patience of a saint. Because of Mr. Alexey, my son is able to read and play notes and chords, and he enjoys playing his favorite songs from the lesson books. I can't wait to see what other instruments he wants to learn next. Evan's studio is fully equipped, and Evan is easily accessible via texts for when I need to change my time slot. I highly recommend taking music lessons from here. read more

Finally, music lessons that are challenging AND creative. My kids (7&10) love their piano and guitar lessons at Evan's Music Academy. My son had tried guitar lessons before at another music school and, after months of lessons, was disappointed that he couldn't play songs he knew. Evan's Music Academy has them playing along with popular songs on day one, making lessons fun again. They're motivated to practice the details now that they know what it feels like to play something awesome. read more

Evan's Music Academy - Musical Instruments & Teachers Near Me - Ladera Ranch, California

I have been very very pleased with my Evan's experience (it's been a little over a month). After meeting with me and talking for an "initial consultation," Evan paired me with Alexey for electric bass lessons and I am loving it. I credit Evan for quickly and accurately gauging my learning style and what I did/not already have (I play a few other instruments, but no strings of any kind) and my time always seems to pass so quickly with Alexey. I'm learning so much and having a great time and thankful for both EMA and Alexey. Can't say enough good things. Will also say that initially Evan didn't have the book they wanted me to start with but he worked quickly to get it to me and I felt like they wanted me to have a good start. Sincerely appreciated that effort. read more

Evan is awesome! I came to Evan, as a senior, with no music or instrument experience whatsoever. Within a short time I am playing chords and notes, strumming and playing along with popular songs, and on a Ukulele! My motivation was to play an instrument that was small enough to travel with and take backpacking, the Uke fit the bill. Evan is patient, informative and I Iook forward each week to our lesson together. I highly recommend his academy if you're looking for the best! read more

My daughters had expressed interest in learning how to play the guitar and piano; I knew I wanted them to take lessons and contacted Evan. He was very helpful in giving suggestions for a guitar and we went with his suggestion. When my oldest (9) got her guitar and my youngest (6) her electric piano for Christmas we started lessons in January with Evan. We could not be happier with him as an instructor! He is very patient and encouraging with both of them. He uses current songs and a textbook to teach them which is such fun and really keeps them engaged. read more

I've taken lessons with many other guitar teachers, but by far, Evan is the best! Initially, I was in great doubt about my musical talent, so I was about to give up on my dream to play the guitar. Fortunately, I was able to meet Evan; he gave me step-by-step lessons in increments that I could handle and made sure I was not overwhelmed. At times, he was challenging, which made the lessons much more interesting. He's especially good at recognizing one's strengths and weaknesses, which I think, is a great quality to possess as a teacher. I've never met anyone so patient and kind as him. He is not one of those scary teachers who are punitive; I strongly recommend him as a teacher. He's not only talented in guitar, but also he's a pro with the drums and piano. I've seen him teach younger students, and I was impressed with how well he handles kids. I totally recommend him as a teacher! read more

I've been taking lessons from Evan's Guitar Academy for several months now and really is an excellent experience. The teacher personally helped me out a lot on practicing the guitar and also learn about various songs of my choosing. I ask him about a song and he shows me about how to play it on the spot. The building is also well equipped with various gear other equipment for other areas of music such as piano and drums if you are interested in that too. I highly recommend this place for any casual musician looking to get into playing for the first time or an experienced musician looking to learn even further. read more
