Monrovia Music Academy has been an amazing place to finally start my ukulele journey. As a busy…read moreadult managing many responsibilities, I signed up to create intentional time for creativity and to learn something completely outside of my comfort zone--the ukulele. It has been one of the best decisions I've made for myself. A special thank you to my instructor, Adam, whose patience, encouragement, and teaching style have made the learning process both enjoyable and motivating. I truly appreciate his guidance, along with the academy's excellent communication and flexibility with scheduling to fit their students' needs. I originally began with in-person lessons, but when work projects and meetings became busier, I switched to pre-recorded lessons. That option has been incredibly helpful, allowing me to continue learning during my downtime, stay consistent with practice, and progress at my own pace. As an adult learner, I can honestly say that learning an instrument has brought so many unexpected benefits. It has improved my focus, discipline, and time management, while also helping reduce stress and giving me a creative outlet for self-expression. Most importantly, it has brought me genuine joy. I can only imagine how valuable this experience is for children who begin learning young. I highly recommend Monrovia Music Academy to any child starting their first instrument, or to any adult looking to challenge themselves, grow creatively, and experience the joy of music.

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.

It's not just a music shop, it feels like a place that really supports creativity and community. Highly recommend if you're looking for lessons or anything music-related.

I do not recommend this business for its expertise or its business practices. I requested a viola…read morerental per instructions from my son's school. 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.
