    Kelly makes the lessons fun and my daughter really learned a lot from her. We in Portland really miss her.

    We are new to the area and found this gem for taking music lessons. Two of my children have been…read moretaking lessons here since the beginning of the year and were able to participate in the Year End Recital in June. One of them takes piano lessons with Esther and the other takes guitar lessons with Drew. They are both amazing teachers. Esther is so kind, patient and encouraging with my son who can take some time to warm up to a new teacher. My other son really enjoys taking lessons with Drew. He's so talented and he has sparked a joy and love for learning guitar in my son that is so enjoyable to see. The studio staff is always very helpful with any questions I have, and if you are with a Charter School, they are an approved vendor for many schools in the area. Lessons are affordably priced, and if you need to cancel and reschedule, you can get a credit as long as you do so with advance notice. Even if you need to cancel last minute, (which unfortunately happened to us one time when our car broke down on the way to the lesson), they will send a video lesson so that your child can view it on their own. I would highly recommend Monrovia Music Academy! They have lessons for many instruments and offer voice lessons as well and for all ages. If you're still on the fence, you can always request a trial class to check it out for yourself before signing up!

    My son has been taking drum lessons with Ben for almost a year, and we couldn't be happier with the…read moreexperience. Ben is an exceptional teacher, not only is he incredibly talented and knowledgeable, but he also brings enthusiasm and positive energy to every lesson. He's patient, encouraging, and really knows how to connect with students and keep them motivated. My son has grown so much in both skill and confidence thanks to Ben's guidance. We highly recommend him to anyone looking for a fantastic drum teacher!

    We love PMA! My older son who is 11 has had Sam as his drum teacher for the last few years and…read morereally loves him. Sam strikes a nice balance between being approachable and easygoing, but also knowing how to challenge and motivate my son. My younger 9 year old son just switched to Gabriel for piano because his previous teacher cut back her hours. As a pianist myself, I really appreciate how Gabriel breaks down how to practice a song to make it easier to learn. He also takes into account my son's interest when choosing a song. We strongly recommend PMA!

    Only good things at PMA! My daughter began taking lessons in the late spring with Marcella and has…read moremade such tremendous progress, not only with her vocals but also stage presence and performance. A few weeks into lessons, Marcella recommended my daughter sign up for the recital. On the day of the recital our family was shocked at the progress made - she received a standing ovation! All thanks to Marcella! My daughter really enjoys having her as a vocal coach/instructor and looks forward to each session. She's patient, engaging and has built up my daughter's confidence, all while teaching technique, developing vocal skills. The front desk at PMA are also incredibly helpful and easy to contact, whether by phone, text or email. I appreciate how easy it is to book makeup lessons and change schedules online. My daughter also enjoys seeing Marcella's feedback and thoughtful comments posted after each lesson.

    My daughter has been going here since she was 5, so for about 3 years. I didn't notice until I'd…read moremoved, and had to enrolled her in another school that I've found out she haven't learned much. For three years we had over 5 different teachers that I can remember. Very inconsistent if you ask me. I sat in on her first class with her new school and I feel very cheated and disappointed. I felt like I've wasted so much money here for over years after comparing the two music academy. The owner is very sweet and nice, but I'm not sure about the instructors. The instructors waste a lot of time before the lesson, and before you even know it, times up. They start late, and finish early. Overall, I'm not happy with this school.

    I was brought in by the Valentine special. Husband had cut his finger in a saw blade which cut to…read moretendons. Had to call to cancel. Told them his injuries were worse and we would not be able to attend that lesson. Was charged for the next three weeks but I had told them that night my husband's injuries were worse. Now they will not refund my three weeks of sessions. I would think a medical reason would provide understanding and refund. Not too happy and feeling like now they have my money they couldn't care less. They want to credit my money to future lessons but his finger has to be surgically worked on. Why would be concerned about his next lesson. Horrible customer service. Also when I did communicate with them that my husbands finger was injured before we found out about his surgery the message I got back that was automated says, "(Auto-Reply) We are open for lessons by appointment on the weekends, but the management office is currently closed. We'll reply to all messages by 10am on Monday. Thank you! JFMA" How am I supposed to communicate if I'm getting automated messages telling me they can't be reached till Monday and his lessons were on Saturday mornings . Makes no sense. I was not being negligent in my having to stop music lessons. Good business would factor these variables of life that are not scheduled for a 24 hr notice.
