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. Mr. Jack is amazing; he greets us personally every time we walk through the door and keeps everything super organized with great communication. 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.

I could turn this review into a small manifesto, but I'll keep it short. This was the second Guitar…read moreCenter I visited today. The first one wouldn't even get a guitar down for me, so, frustrated, I drove here. I had a budget and was ready to buy a Telecaster. Jack talked me through my options and gave me an extensive breakdown of the Fender line. I explained what I was looking for, and it came down to a $1,400 used Ultra Tele or a $700 Player II. Jack gave me the pros and cons of both, and I decided on the Player II. I freaking love this guitar. It's exactly what I wanted, and it's the second guitar I've bought from this location this year. Also, a shout-out to John--he's always great on the phone and helpful on the floor. Thank you too the staff here for keeping my hope in Guitar Center alive.

I was looking for a piano teacher in the Murrieta area and saw that Lebaron's studio has good yelp…read morereviews, so I arranged a piano class for my 6 YO son. My son only had one class with Ms. Violet because she could not accommodate our preferred time and schedule - which I had a choice to do so, and we have other extracurricular activities other than piano. I found another piano teacher that could. Ms. Violet graciously wished us well on my son's music journey. Ms. Karine, on the other hand, is a bitter person. She hounded me and left threatening voicemails for nonpayment of the one session/ class ($53 only!!!), which, by the way, I paid later. I initially asked Ms. Violet via text if she wanted me to drop off the one-class payment, but I didn't get a response. They both needed to coordinate the mode of payment, which was a misunderstanding. Ms. Violet prefers cash, while the other wants me to pay through Zelle (sounds fishy...) I was shocked and in total disbelief at how unprofessional and demeaning are the messages and VM of Ms. Karine's. She is a different person from the older reviews I read and from my experience with her. I suggest you do a one-trial session first with the studio to see if your child matches the teacher's teaching style. Piano class isn't cheap, and you should get what you pay for. There are plenty of music teachers in the area that are leveraging technology in teaching music, e.g., reading notes and scales, ear training, and music composition. Why do I know? My 9-year-old son have been a CA state honor awardee in piano since he was 6 YO. Technology has made him independent in learning piano skills and theory. Lebaron studio's teaching method is old-fashioned and still uses notebooks and manual writing for note identification and homework. I'm not against the old style of teaching if that works for you; however, in this day and age, I prefer my kids to be to use technology to be more self-reliant. As for the son's comment, he mentioned he sometimes couldn't understand what the teacher was saying.

My son has been taking piano lessons since Feb 2013. Since he started very young at 3 and a half…read moreyears old, our goals were to just let him enjoy the piano, and build a foundation in music that would hopefully cultivate a lifelong love and skill. We expressed our wishes keep it light and fun so he would love learning. My philosophy is that the earlier we integrated music in his life, the more natural it would be for him to continue as long as we go at his pace. I'm not a tiger mom when it comes to piano. We definitely do not push him faster than he enjoys. So some lessons are slower than others, and that's ok with me. Having said that, my tyke has picked up piano quickly, responded positively to Ms. Karine's fun lessons, and has a super solid foundation in technique (proper finger digit curved piano hands to prevent injury) He did his first piano recital June 2013 which he loved. After 10 months of lessons, he was able to sight read and plays the first octave notes (Treble clef: C through G, and Base clef: C through F) I think that is pretty remarkable for a 4 yr old. and speaks volumes about Ms. Karine's teaching abilities. We are very happy with his progress. His journey hasn't always been smooth, which is to be expected when learning a new skill. Overall, he has consistently moved forward despite little ups and downs along the way.

His prices for tuning the piano is very reasonable and he takes his time. He took nearly 2 hours and didn't charge anymore but I felt bad so I provided a little more for his time. A major plus for me was he came a few minutes early for the 9:30 am appointment. Upon completion he played a couple of pieces which were amazing! He did mention that the piano was definitely out of tune since it's been 3 years. We discussed the possibility of me taking lessons from him since the piano doesn't get played as much since our daughter will be studying abroad. Based on his pieces he played, I am even more interested! If you are in the area I highly recommend John for your tuning. I will add a review once I start my piano lessons!

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.
