Kim's little homey cottage is located right next to the Sierra 2 Center in East Sacramento and there is street parking available. The class for my daughter's age group is on Tuesdays from 5-7pm with 1 hour being for singing/voice lessons and the other 1 hour being for dance lessons. There are 4 classes a month essentially for under $200. Kim was very professional and great with the kids! It was fun to see new and returning students in her class and to see who was comfortable and who was still coming out of their shell. My daughter had a great time at the trail class, but she currently does another activity on Tuesdays so the class for her age group isn't a good fit for us right now, but we hope to come back and join Kim's class in the future. Give them a call or visit if you or your kids are interested in Performing Arts - Kim has been around for 30+ years and you can tell how much she loves what she does!

I've had several music teachers but honestly they got nothing on her. i only see her once a week and I have a busy schedule with social activities but i'd rather see her 3 days a week instead of one. She's worth it. She inspires me to become a better singer every week. I love working with her it's such and honor to be called her student.

I feel obligated to post this review because Raquela has personally helped me so much with my…read morevoice. I only wish I could have started lessons with her earlier. I've sung on teams for years at our church, but when I finally heard myself on YouTube I knew I needed professional help. LOL. What makes Raquela the consummate voice instructor? She has a true depth of understanding of what needs to come together in order to sing well-- the musculature, breathing, psyche. She is also extremely articulate, so she can explain these intricacies to me. An excellent observer, she truly listens to me and watches me sing, providing constructive criticism. Just a glimpse of the level of her expertise-- she was asked to teach lessons in breathing to her fellow Broadway singers!! She cares deeply and is fully committed to the growth of her students, personally invested for sure. Any student who listens to her and works hard will get to the next level. What's more, she's even tech savvy, so she hasn't missed a beat during COVID and is still teaching fabulous lessons through Zoom.

I have been a voice student with Raquela for nearly four years now, and let me tell you-I have come…read morean awful long way not only with my voice, but with who I am as an individual! Raquela has so much experience with all different types of voices, and has the unique ability to help every singer feel like a star! Within just three months of working with Raquela, I not only felt a huge difference in my voice and confidence, but I was able to earn the highest talent score in my local preliminary competition to Miss California within the Miss America Organization. That was just in 3 MONTHS!!! Nearly four years later, my voice has never been better, but best of all, Raquela has pushed me out of my comfort zone, and has shown me what I am capable of as a performer, and as a person. Raquela's presence is infectious and positive, and she is an absolute delight to work with. Not to mention she puts a huge emphasis on vocal health, and knowing the value of truly taking care of your instrument has changed my life. I will also add, I have worked with a variety of voice teachers over the past 15 years, yet I have learned the most and seen the biggest differences while working with Raquela. And with her prices? The best and most affordable you will find for working with someone who is a professional, and has had a tremendous amount of experience in the entertainment industry. Lastly, if you work with Raquela, she will always be in your corner. She will be your advocate, and biggest cheerleader. Who wouldn't want that in a teacher?! So what are you waiting for? Are you looking to be the best, most talented, and confident version of yourself? Look no further-you have got to work with Raquela!!!

I've been taking lessons with Will for over a year now, and I can honestly say it's been one of the…read morebest decisions I've made. From the very beginning, Will asked what type of music I actually wanted to learn, and that made all the difference. It never felt like a one-size-fits-all experience; it felt personal. Will is incredibly patient, the kind of teacher who never makes you feel rushed or discouraged, no matter where you are in your learning journey. And watching him play? It's an absolute joy. There's something truly inspiring about learning from someone who clearly loves what they do. One thing I truly can't stress enough is how much he emphasizes proper hand positioning. It might seem like a small detail, but it makes a world of difference, and Will makes sure you get it right from the start. By the end of my first year, I had grown confident enough to perform in my very first recital. I've stood in front of people before through my career, but picking up a guitar and performing was a completely different experience, and Will's guidance is what got me there. If you're looking for a guitar teacher who is patient, personable, and genuinely invested in your progress, Will is your guy. Highly recommended! Thanks Appolllo

I highly recommend Will. He teaches guitar both online via Zoom and at his current location in the…read moreSacramento area. With Will's very effective Zoom lessons, you can take lessons from anywhere!! I have been taking acoustic guitar lessons via Zoom with Will for 3 years. I previously dealt with many music instructors for my kids, and I wish I had found Will when they were doing lessons. Will is the most patient and excellent instructor, and there is always an important and significant purpose and goal to what he is teaching. He is very experienced both academically and practically. He also teaches me vocal accompaniment and music theory. The Zoom lessons actually work extremely well and I have not found the need to have the lessons in person. I bought a nice Blue Yeti microphone for my laptop for higher sound quality for the listener when I am playing via Zoom.

This is the third class I have taken with Eli. I feel so lucky to have discovered his classes. I…read morelove his teaching style and I always really enjoy everyone I meet in his classes. Eli is so skilled at creating instant community in his classes. He creates a safe space for us all to be vulnerable with one another. And in some ways - singing and performing in front of others is super scary and requires you to be super vulnerable in order to connect with your performance piece. The creation of this community from the first class allows all of us to immediately feel comfortable with one another so that we can get to work and support each other every step of the way leading up to our concert.

I took the Fundamentals of Singing class in 2018 and years later still remember it fondly as one of…read morethe most uplifting activities I've done as an adult. I was nervous and out of my comfort zone -- not having sung since middle school (!) -- but Eli created a fun learning environment so I could set my insecurities aside and jump in.

We are so happy to have found Music Lab Folsom! When our son got serious about drumming, we were…read morelucky to find Music Lab when they first opened in Folsom. His drum teacher is phenomenal. He has such a calm spirit and really has a natural way of teaching. He also has an excellent musical education and background. Our son keeps improving his skills and we owe that to his experience at Music Lab. He also took an interest in guitar and bass. He first started on guitar and then moved to bass lessons. His bass teacher is also incredible. I think he could play and teach just about any instrument. He is very calm and intentional with his lessons. He is another good fit for our son. One of our favorite things about Music Lab, beyond the lessons, are the semi-annual music showcases that they put on for their students and their guests. It's the perfect way to showcase the students' new skills and highlight their growth through the years. The owners, teachers, and staff are all so supportive. Music Lab also puts on great summer camps with fun and talented teachers. Last year, our son did intermediate drum camp, and this year, he tried a musical theater camp. I love that there are so many areas for him to expand his talents! I even got brave and took voice lessons. My teacher was very patient and talented. I learned so much and improved my skills, too. I can't say enough good things about our experience at Music Lab!
