Great little music shop in the heart of Carlsbad Village…read more For a relatively small shop, Carlsbad Village Music has just about everything music related. Instruments including guitars, amps and ukuleles. They have a lot of interesting memorabilia type items and kitschy decorative stuff also. They give music lessons too! Becky and I wandered in just to mill around a bit. I found a cool little Fender amp lunch pail that I just had to have. It was under 20 bucks! The two guys working were cool, friendly and helpful. We're very glad that we stopped in. If you go, don't forget to stop and say "Hi" to Rizzo the pug dog!

Great school. My son started taking piano lessons at 4 years old and was shy, nervous, and cried…read morewhen I left his side. A year later he is reading music, playing the piano and wants to learn more. Lilly is kind, patient and encouraging and has been key in helping my son develop a love and appreciation for music. Now almost a year later he looks forward to his lessons and practices daily. Their scheduling is great and their prices are reasonable. Communication is great, I'm always getting feedback about his progress. What I do like most is how patient they are with my sometimes bouncy little kid. She kindly redirects his attention back to the lesson and continues.   Lilly does want her students to succeed and you can tell by her teaching. My son's grandfather is a seasoned singer and wanted to develop a stronger voice. He worked with Lacey, and her education in opera challenged him to grow and work on his vocal range. He loved learning from her. They were also able to work around his work schedule. He loved it and will go back to sharpen his vocal skills.  My older son was also taking vocal lessons with Lacey. She was great. Friendly, encouraging and knowledgeable. Love her.  She too was patient, kind, and able to teach both children and adults. She was also able to work with my son when he got distracted or disinterested. She was great and got results with both grandpa and son. I've in the past worked with another vocal teacher from a different company who would end the lesson early because my son wasn't following the lesson.  She was unwilling and unable to coach him back . So I can truly appreciate their hard work and dedication to their students.

Levi is hands down one of the most wonderful music teachers around…read more His patience, and clear and kind direction was so amazing. My daughter was extremely nervous for her first lesson, and by the time she stepped into his beautiful and harmonious teaching space, she was calm and eager to learn. His extensive knowledge of music theory and how to explain it in a way a 7yr old can grasp the concepts was perfection. We are very thankful to have him as an instructor, and move from voice, to piano, ukulele, and more. He has all the musical options anyone would want to learn. And the price is right ! You would really be missing out on an incredible learning experience if you passed up hiring Levi. Absolutely incredible!

My son just turned 5, so I felt he was old enough to get started with music lessons. I scheduled a…read more30 minute appointment for him with Jess. Her unconventional teaching style kept him captivated the entire piano lesson, and he was excited to go home and practice his new piano skills. We needed to schedule my son's ongoing lessons for week nights, and Jess isn't available outside of weekends, so my son's next appointment was with Rachael Kone. She was exceedingly patient and sweet, but her teaching style was more formal, and it didn't seem to be the right fit for my high-energy child who didn't stay as interested this time around & ended up getting the wiggles halfway through her lesson. So, I called Camille (the business owner, and someone who also has tons of music experience) to ask for assistance getting a piano teacher that would be a good fit for my son during our available times. She said that Anton Maroun would be available during our needed times, and that he is a great teacher for younger students like my son, who might occasionally need the teacher to burst out into a short vocal performance in order to keep them focused on the music. My son's first lesson with Anton will take place this coming week, and I'm excited to see how this works out. Either way, I'm very happy to have found an affordable, local place where the staff is friendly & knowledgeable and there's enough instructors on staff to find the right musical fit for everyone.
