I've always felt them to have such an encouraging and celebratory atmosphere - it's been wonderful to watch my eight year old grow in her confidence and hear her tell me how proud she feels after a performance. That is very much to the credit of her teacher: Mr. Dei is kind, encouraging, and does an amazing job engaging her in the lessons by incorporating her interests, as well as supporting her through her frustrations. I also very much appreciate how he has fostered and grown her interest in the creative process of music - in the last recital she played a song she had composed with his help! Thank you Mr. Dei! Thank you PMA! Definitely recommended.

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!

Ms. Elisa has been an amazing piano teacher for my daughter over the past four months. After…read moreworking with other teachers, my daughter has made tremendous progress with Ms. Elisa. She can now read music notes and is much more independent with her practice at home. What sets Ms. Elisa apart is her ability to be both patient and firm. She knows when to encourage and when to challenge, helping my daughter build both confidence and skill. Her lessons are always personalized to my daughter's needs, and she has a unique way of making learning fun. Most importantly, Ms. Elisa has instilled a real love for music in my daughter. I'm so grateful for her kind and supportive approach, and I truly believe she's one of a kind!

This is not a business that operates with honesty and integrity. My family had a very bad…read moreexperience during a trial class we paid for. We wrote a bad review here on yelp, so the business reached out to us and asked how they can help. They initially offered to re-take the class, but I did not want to waste my time. So i asked for a refund. They agreed. What I am realizing now, since I have not seen any credits on my account, is that the refund will only be given in exchange of the review being taken down. It's too bad, any business owner who thinks about future and about customer service would have refunded the charge immediately just because they know they screwed up. The many interruptions my kids had during their private lesson was reason enough for them to issue a refund. Very disappointed!

This makes zero sense and not only is it a waste of time and money, but it's unfair to the student. You can't conduct a focused 30 min lesson while constantly leaving.

Period.

The instrument we were given was determined by the music program's director and assistant to be, instead, a violin. I obtained a third opinion at Encore Music, and was informed by the teacher there as well that the instrument we had been given is (i.e., was strung as) a violin. I brought it back today for a refund of pro-rated rental fee (from what I had paid upfront). Note that I asked the assistant at the store to identify the instrument for me before telling him the problem; he identified it as a violin. When I explained the reason for the return, he then said that it is a viola, and brought it to the proprietor, who insisted that it was a viola all along. I insisted on the return, but they did not refund me the tax I pre-paid, and also charged me for a full 3 months' payment instead of the 2.5 months it has been. Overall, this has been a frustrating waste of time and money. There are many other options for instrument rentals in the area and I recommend you use a different one.
