Queens Music Academy is a wonderful place to learn how to play an instrument. My oldest has been…read moretaking bass lessons here for over a year and her teacher is fantastic. He is engaging, encouraging and so so nice (not to mention talented).

In the past, I've heard many performances by QMA rock bands formed with their students. They can really feel their accomplishments. I see many students coming to other lessons there. if interested, I highly recommend the QMA for learning music.

I'm saying this here now because when we contact Elena Diaz she refused to take our call. Instead…read moreof talking to us like a professional she rather ignore us. This is not the type of teacher you should hire who steal your students. This review is for the voice teacher Elena Diaz. She promised me and my husband a recital when we first started. Initially my husband was a piano student of Alejandra at Juliet Music and she took him under her wing as her private voice student making him leave Juliet Music. I myself was a student of Juliet music and left to study privately under Elena because she said it would be better for me. She stole me from lessons at Juliet Music. She promised us a recital and other concerts to perform in but from 2013-2018 since we were with her nothing happened. She kept teaching us the same songs and our skills never got better. My husband went to her to study countertenor and tenor. She can't teach him the right way let alone going back and forth on two types of voices. This was really unfair. She forces us to sing karaoke songs from YouTube as our lessons. She had workshops which were all about money and not learning. She doesn't know how to teach the music and harmony. She personally has something against my husband because he was the only one who questioned her. We continued to sing the same songs over again. She didn't know how to drive so many times she had me drive her around for free. Places like from her house to Juliet Music which is ironic since I was a student of Juliet Music, to a wedding we're not invited to where she made us sing without practice, and the college recital of one of her other students which she always describes as "hot". She calls him the Prince of India who at the time was a high school student . The most offensive thing was how she talked about her boyfriend and their sex life during lessons. One time she talked about how she likes the beast and Rolf because they are hairy like the men she likes. She also talks about getting pregnant with her boyfriend during group practices in front of others. This is sexual harassment. She said this in front of young girls and should not be tolerated. She is too friendly with her students and it's as if she's crossing the line. When I first came to her she said I was a soprano so I thought that she would train me. After 5 years with her I never had a performance or recital. Neither did my husband. And I never learned how to sing soprano. In the end my husband did not learn any of the right skills to improve I don't think she ever had an intention of giving us success. My husband and I sing in church where we are well experienced and she had the nerve to teach us songs we've been singing all our lives. Many times my husband and I want to do duets. She can't even figure out the harmonies. She also forced us to watched the recital of her favorite student who has nothing to do with us. Also a wedding in the city who we don't know at all. She wants us to do what she wants because we're "friends" and she wants me to drive her. I was being used for my kindness. She's takes advantage of people especially through her lessons. I really feel that Elena Diaz is not a good teacher and should be terminated.

I decided to start playing my bass guitar again after being non active for a bunch of years and it needs a little TLC before I can slap my axe . Astoria music is really a mom and pop old school music shop that sells and service many different types of musical instruments and they have music teachers as well if you want your little one to learn an instrument or if you the adult want to start a new hobby . Very nice gent who i assume is the owner , looked over my bass and knew exactly needed to be done . A few parts had to be replaced and I didn't mind cause I do recall how nice my fender bass sounded when it was in peak shape . 3 days later it was ready and the sound is exactly what I remembered after all these years . Glad my friend told me about this music store and would recommend this place 100 percent. 4.5 stars on my yelp meter.
