I booked a consultation with Sal hoping for some pointers and confidence to get through one karaoke song on a cruise. I explained that I'm terrible and not looking for a career, just a little guidance to keep from freezing on stage. He insisted that I might actually be good (and I again told him I'm not) and said he would assess my potential during the consultation. Sal stopped me one minute into the first singing exercise and said I didn't have what it takes to be a singer [agreed]. What was especially disappointing, though, was that he told me not to get on stage because it would "hurt people's ears" or cause people to leave. He didn't charge me, which I appreciate, but I left feeling deflated. Two stars instead of one because the five minutes spent there were free, but it still cost me a hit to my confidence for the cruise. I really wish he had listened to everything I told him I was looking for over the phone so we could have avoided wasting both his time and mine.

What he does not have, however, are healthy relationship skills or communication skills. He becomes cruel when things don't go his way. He made me uncomfortable numerous times during lessons when he would criticize other students to me. This past Sunday, I told him that I was ready to quit lessons after it became very clear to me that I did not have enough time to be at his studio 4-6 hours per week. I explained to him my husbands frustrating work situation and my lack of childcare. I also just received news that a family member has cancer and told Sal I would need to take a trip to see this family member soon, and that would also take away from my time at his studio. He always told me during my lessons that if I ever feel that I don't have the time to let him know because he does not want to waste my time or his. So, I let him know. He responded by calling me stupid, calling me a liar, and he said I have no talent and no future, (which is hilarious because he has told me time and time again how incredible of a voice I have and how I could make it big). He also used demeaning expletives. Please, save your money and time. Sal knows a lot but he is vindictive and cruel. You can find many other vocal coaches with the same amount of knowledge and expertise, without the cruelty. I worry for other artists that may come to him and be crushed by his words, especially younger people who may not be able to see through the verbal attacks. If you disagree with him, his goal is to make you feel small and insecure and like you are nothing without him. It would be wise to seek vocal coaching elsewhere. And Sal, if you reply to this review with the same vitriol and cruelty that you did to others, just know it reflects poorly on you.

In a very short amount of time, Miss Jada worked wonders with my boys--they recently performed at an event and sang beautifully. Beyond the talent of the teachers, the environment is top-notch.

From the admin team to the instructors, they made it possible for our family to thrive in music. Highly recommended!"

My son has been taking drum lessons with Mr. Paul at Murrieta Academy of Music and I can honestly…read moresay it has been one of the best activities we've ever signed him up for. From the very first lesson, Paul created such a welcoming and relaxed atmosphere that my son felt comfortable right away. He's not just a talented drummer, but also a great teacher who knows how to break things down so kids can actually understand and enjoy learning. Paul mixes in songs that my son already likes along with the fundamentals, so practicing at home feels less like homework and more like something he actually wants to do. As a parent, it's been amazing to watch him sit down at the drum set with excitement instead of resistance. The progress we've seen has been incredible. His rhythm, timing, and coordination have improved so much, but what stands out to me the most is his confidence. My son used to hesitate when trying something new, but with Paul's encouragement, he's learned to just go for it and keep pushing himself. Paul has this great balance of being encouraging and patient while also holding his students accountable so they don't just mess around. It's exactly what kids need, someone who believes in them but also challenges them to do better each week. My son now practices on his own, shows off the new beats he learns, and even talks about wanting to play in a band someday, which is something he never would have imagined before starting lessons. The academy itself has been wonderful too. Everyone at the front desk is organized and helpful, scheduling is simple, and the whole place has a positive, family-friendly vibe. They also offer opportunities for students to perform, which I think is such a great way to give kids experience and confidence in front of an audience. Paul really prepares his students for these moments in a way that feels fun and not intimidating, so instead of being nervous, my son actually gets excited to play in front of people. Overall, I couldn't be happier with Mr. Paul and the experience we've had with the drum program. It's not just about learning music, it's about building confidence, discipline, and a genuine love for playing. My son is growing both as a musician and as a person because of these lessons. If you're considering drum lessons, I highly recommend Mr. Paul. He has made such a positive impact on my son, and we're so grateful to have found him through Murrieta Academy of Music.

Their cancellation policy is that you cannot reschedule a class without a week's notice. Which doesn't take a family's real life into account. If you don't give them a week's notice, you are out the money for that lesson and your child will not receive any instruction. They do not prorate for Spring Break, Winter Break and Thanksgiving Break, even though they are closed during those times. They follow the Temecula Unified School district's calender and aren't open during those breaks, but you still pay full price for those months. Lastly, and most importantly, they're swindlers. I had complained about the cancelation policy to them over the phone and stated that I would be looking for a new music school for my daughter AFTER her recital on the 29th of April. I wrote a review on Google that was critical of their cancelation policy as well. In retaliation they dropped my daughter from their school. But of course this was AFTER they were perfectly happy to tale my money for the full month of April. Now they have swindled me out of over $200 and my daughter is unable to perform in the recital she spent months preparing for. I have demanded a refund of that money, but we'll see how that goes. When I demanded an explanation, I was told that my daughter was dropped from the school because of the review I left on Google. ​So I wouldn't trust good reviews because apparently the policy is to drop your child and steal your money if you leave a critical review. I feel the need to also say that they did not tell me my daughter had been dropped from their school. I found out yesterday when I dropped my daughter off. No notice, no nothing. They just took my money and dropped my daughter for a critical review.

My son took the free drum lesson and then participated in a couple of group classes before he decided he didn't really enjoy the group lessons. I took lessons when I was younger so I decided I'd teach him myself even though School of Rock probably would have garnered better results. The facility was cool, felt like a local rock bar and the staff was friendly and talented. The price was just too high, I didn't see value long term especially since my son didn't care for the group format. Private lessons were obviously higher priced and, again, not really worth it to me.

Not a great thing, especially on a school night. Overall, no complaints here. I will update if anything changes.
