My son's only been attending for about 2 months. He seems to enjoy it. There was a brief moment…read morewhen I was unable to take my son in person and they provided me with a variety of options to maintain his lessons: in-person make-up sessions for a different day, live remote learning, or a video recorded session. They're heavy on texting which is fine with me. I ask a question, they're quick to respond. The staff are friendly too. They offer a variety of lessons. They want to celebrate your child (birthday, accomplishment, award, etc.) which is nice. As for the value, I think we're getting our time and money's worth. I think no matter where you go, time and money will be spent, but it's the quality and attentiveness that matters and so far I'm seeing that for my son.

We had my son age 3/4 enrolled in music fun time and he loved it! Our teachers were Ms. Leslie and…read moreMs. Pita (Lupita) both an absolute delight! Ms. Pita made us feel comfortable and right at home and she was so patient with the kids.She will truly be missed and is a wonderful addition to the school. He was registered for the 4pm class for 18months-2 years because that time worked out best for us for a while. Also most of the music fun time classes are geared toward teaching similar subject matter. Originally signing up, I thought this would be a fun and play type class... which it is, however they teach music theory and how to read notes and read music which is super beneficial. We had to leave because we are trying other extracurricular activities , however we will be back when he's ready to learn an instrument! Only con is i work until 4pm so , I wish there were more afternoon spots available for music fun time for his age. During the week *They have Friday 4:30 for 3-4 year olds (full) and 5:00 5-6 yr olds

I was incredibly heartbroken when Mike suddenly passed a couple of months ago. This amazing man and…read moremusician with a heart of gold has left quite a legacy. I want folks to know that he leaves behind a son who is busy trying to expand the business his father worked diligently to build up. They've hired a couple of new talented folks to boot. Please consider them for lessons during this odd time of remote learning. I'll always be grateful for all the assistance I received during my time there that made me a better guitarist, vocalist and even began piano to broaden the scope of my music life.

Since my original review in 2016, Mike and his staff are still some of the best in the area, with…read morerespect to musical knowledge and teaching ability. Both of my children's musical abilities have grown on an almost exponential level. He truly cares about teaching and he has a great love of music. He has fostered and nourished their love of music and he has been instrumental (pun intended), in their continuing journey. Because of this, I am extremely confident that music will always be a positive part of their lives. Keep up the great work Mike!

Attention piano lesson students, friends, parents, and families. I strongly DO NOT recommend…read morePaulina as your piano instructor due to the facts that she does not care about your child if one is affected by Covid. The delays of her instructional time is nonsense that she only cares about money that she collected from parents like you and I. It came to this point that my daughter's lessons and payments in advance have totaled. Therefore money is not the issue to us but for Paulina it's her only concern and she will delay your lessons to make sure that we eventually give up our time and the money that we have already paid will be forgotten. The bottom line is there are many legitimate piano lesson instructors out there and avoiding Paulina is highly recommended.

PLEASE READ! Protect your children and keep them away from the owners at Applause Music Academy…read more They recently posted a disturbing picture of my 6 YEAR OLD GRANDDAUGHTER on their social media. It was heavily filtered and made her look OLDER ! They gave her cleavage ! . Her lips are fuller and made to look as if she has make up on. She's half Filipino and half Mexican and the filter also made her look completely Asian. When I contacted the owners through email they took the picture down immediately but did NOT apologize. The next day, my daughter and I met the owners in person through my request and it did not go well. He and his wife Dr. Tig were not apologetic at all. He would not tell me who edited the picture and he would not admit that it was wrong. I asked him point blank 3 times if it was wrong in which he stood silent. I was blown away by his refusal to admit it which made me think that HE was the one who did the editing . He claimed that it was done to clear up the background of the picture which is a total lie. This same picture was posted a few months ago without being changed. Another reason it's false is because there are actually 3 people in the picture and all 3 were made to look more Asian. One person was actually a white male and was completely changed into an Asian woman. He kept saying it was not intentional and he would not apologize. After 25 minutes of the meeting going nowhere, my daughter and I got up to leave in which Dr Tig finally admitted some regret but it was too late because it was like pulling teeth to make them feel sorry for what they or their employee) had done. They did not empathize nor did they realize the seriousness of the picture that was posted. Two days later, my daughter received an email stating that my granddaughters were both being terminated from the academy. It was easier for them to terminate them instead of saying sorry. This is very upsetting about how they handled this situation. They need to take posting children's pictures seriously! Children are precious and should be treated like it! 0 stars for Applause Music Academy
