I've been at coastal for seven years, and it's always been great. I take guitar and my sister used to take piano. The staff are all so kind and make great effort to get to know their students. I've been in the band, done recitals, and done open mics, everything is always super well run. Amazing studio. read more

Coastal Music Studios - Coastal's twice annual youth band show. - Musical Instruments & Teachers Near Me - Oceanside, California

10/10 recommend!! My son has been going for 5 years for guitar lessons and it has been an amazing experience. He loves his teachers, the owners, his bandmates. He has done the summer art & music camps for several years as a student and enjoyed it, I think this upcoming summer he will be old enough to be a camp helper and he's looking forward to it. read more

Teacher was great. Seems like a great studio too, just too heavy of a commitment for us at this time.

My kids are loving their voice and guitar lessons. My daughter has always loved to sing but very shy about doing so in front of people outside the family. After a handful of months, her teacher helped her build up her confidence to audition for her youth worship team! She is so happy to be singing in that capacity with confidence. Thank you Coastal! read more

What a great week for my little! This was her first all day camp with Coastal. According to her building Emerald City was super cool! She met new friends and loved snack time and lunch because the students got to talk and get to know each other. She liked participating in the themed days for the week! Everyday she had something new to share with us, not to mention singing songs in the car and at home! We're looking forward to another camp next summer! read more

Both of my children have been taking lessons at Coastal for 8 years. My son has worked with David for at least 7 of those years, every single week. I cannot think of a better instructor as far as mentoring skill, encouragement and dedication go. He not only kept my son challenged during this time, but he also kept him motivated by listening and adapting to our family's goal for our children as well as the child's direction. It is not an easy task to meet the needs of the little one and the parents but somehow, he and the Coastal team have risen to the occasion every single time. We can't imagine taking lessons anywhere else. My son is working his way toward mastering his 3rd instrument and my daughter has just switched over to singing from ukulele. The confidence they've helped to developed in my kids is priceless. Love this team! read more

All of the teachers and staff are amazing at Coastal. My 9 and 11 year old have been taking lessons here for a couple of years now and they love it so much. The vibe is so positive and the teachers are great at what they do. Just an amazing experience all around! read more

Team Coastal just hit another Grand Slam! Our boys joined the Arts & Music Summer Camp recently and had a blast. Great to be indoors during some hot days but also great for the kids to learn a bit more culture and express themselves through art, dance and song. They came home ready to sing and dance and seemed to soak in a lot of good fun. Thanks for having us again Team Coastal! read more

The staff at Coastal Music Studios is fantastic! My grandsons have been involved for a couple of years. they've taken ukulele lessons, art and music camps and have been a part of the Coastal Music Christmas Choir. all have been great and the boys have loved their experiences. Send your child to be educated in music, have fun with the arts and meet new friends! read more

We are so excited to have found Coastal Music. Our daughter takes singing lessons here and also participated in the Christmas Choir this past fall. It was such a positive experience and we look forward to joining again next year. Kids of all abilities are welcomed and engaged. It's a very positive environment and singers are appropriately challenged to build confidence. Additionally, her singing lessons are tailored right to her level and she gets to help choose the pieces she sings. Caylie is wonderful with her! read more

Our kids were excited to start learning about music. However, the owner Andy, as well as one of the guitar teachers, David, thought to take away their desire by forcing a switch of instruments to something they didn't want. Not to mention the owners lies to support Coastal Musics cause. Music should be fun and teachers should invest in your children and we shouldn't have to convince these teachers and school to teach our kids. Seems they have lost their luster. Also, beware because they will record your children without acknowledgment. To all families out there know your rights for privacy and give your kids a better form of music at ANY other school. Good luck. ***Update...Andy will do and say anything, even lie, until it comes down to the action of doing it...or in his case, not doing it. No Owner should have to curse and lie to my spouse and mistreat her or talk down to her. Shame on you! Shame on your business! There is no integrity at Coastal music, just disrespect! DO YOURSELVES A FAVOR AND FIND ANOTHER MUSIC SCHOOL! read more

My daughter LOVES going here. She has been in singing lessons for a couple months and really likes her teacher Miss Andrea. Costal music studios has a free choir program for the kids and it's so awesome they do that. They also do showcases every so often. We went to our first one recently and it was amazing to see all the kids and their musical talents. I would recommend this place to anyone! read more

This music studio is really a great place. Is located in a decent area oh, and there has always been easy parking. The staff is very nice, and they know what they're talkin about. My brother bought me several hours of singing lessons to try to learn to sing in a better, more healthy way. I have learned so much and Andrea and the rest of the staff are amazing. My classes ran out so I am extending for more classes. It is helping me to sing in a healthier way for my throat and learning many techniques that I never would thought of them my own. Highly recommended. read more

Our daughter attended the Disney camp this summer and we were blown away by how awesome and engaging it was. The staff were so friendly and put so much effort into making every day a unique and memorable experience. Our daughter asked to go back for the whole summer! We will definitely be looking into what other activities and classes Coastal has to offer. read more

My daughter attended the Disney summer camp this year! What a wonderful experience! All the teachers and helpers were amazing ! They had a lot of activities and customized each day for different themes. I love their creativity and passion. I highly recommend Coastal Music Studios and will join again in the future :) read more

We have been going to Coastal Music Studios for more than a year. WE LOVE THEM! We have enrolled in summer camps: ukulele, Disney, Hamilton & making music camp. All were different and all were amazing. We have enrolled in the free community choir for 2 semesters (so far) -- so well organized and wonderful direction of the kids. We are also enrolled in private and group piano lessons weekly -- and once it's available again, we cannot wait to start voice lessons. The critical component that Coastal Music Studios always has, and is of utmost importance to me as a parent, is COMMUNICATION. Their communication style is well thought out and executed professionally and consistently. The instructors and counselors are exceptional. They get to know each and every kid - quirks, sensitivities, individual personalities and they adapt and accommodate. Our family is so grateful for what Coastal Music Studios brings to our local community and the special community they create within their four walls. read more

We have been with this Studio for almost 7 years now, and my grandsons are not thinking of leaving! First, Ivan and Kirill sang in the choir. Now they are playing drums. We are impressed with the care and attention paid to our young artists, with the atmosphere of encouragement and support. Ivan and Kirill love their very patient, friendly and talented teacher, Mr. David. Mr. Andy and Ms Pam are their long term friends and fans. The master scheduler, Mr Chris will find you a spot in any situation. Thank you, Coastal Studios, for making stars out of my grandsons. Thank you for all your endless effort and hard work! read more

Coastal Music Studios - Playing drums in one of the studios bands! How cool is that? - Musical Instruments & Teachers Near Me - Oceanside, California

We love coastal music! The teachers are great and my kids love it!! My daughter joined the choir and she absolutely loves it!

Our daughters just wrapped up the one week ukulele summer camp and they had a great time. More than just music, the school mixed in a few fun activities to break up the learning sessions. This is a proven teaching technique and shows that they are not just grinding the students through the lessons. I caught my kids plucking away a week after the camp and it sounds like they learned a few things! read more

One of the replacements I thought would be hardest to find ended up being the easiest! My son has been playing piano for about 3 years now and so it was super important to find a piano instructor that he would vibe with. For a 9 year old, he is quite picky and particular when it comes to those he learns with and from so I just knew this was gonna be no simple task. 6 months prior to moving I began the search and can I just say, I never knew there was such a draught of male pianist that work with children! I ended up broadening out my search from just in-home lessons to include studios and finally hit the jack pot. Coastal Studios owner offered us a free consultation with Mr. Matthew and I have never seen my son so excited to play piano before. I signed him up that very day and I was shocked to find the pricing comparable to his former in-home lessons. The studio has such a wonderful and organized staff and a warm, open feel to it. It typically takes awhile before I can trust people alone with my son and that just was never even an issue here. The studio has individual sound proof rooms with windows and a comfortable waiting room for parents. They have such an easy communication and rescheduling policy that is managed brilliantly by their office manager. When I asked my son why he preferred Mr. Matt over his last teacher, he, being the kind-hearted softy that he is, said he didn't want to hurt his other teacher's feelings. I promised him I wouldn't tell his former teacher so in keeping with said promise, I won't reveal exactly what he told me. But he did say, "Mr. Matt is so cool! He makes learning fun. He makes me love piano." It's such an amazing feeling to hear my son practicing outside of his routine practices at home and not just when he's on time-out in his room. Admittedly, his playing is one of those dreams I am living vicariously through him, but it's so nice to see him owning the love of playing for himself! read more

My child joined the choir in this studio and she loved it! The teachers made it fun but at the same time fostered my child'd love for music.

Such a fun and memorable experience for my kids! The beach bonfire was really special and created a wonderful Bonding experience for our family. read more

We have been going to Coastal Music We have been going to Coastal Music Studios from 3 years, my daughters are enrolled in Piano and Voice lesson and they really enjoy everything at the Studio, from teachers , assistants, owners, and all the incredible atmosphere!! They also joined the Choir for some sessions and they really love every Camp that they joined!!! You are so dedicated and passionate in all that you do !!! read more

My daughter has attended two summer camps with Coastal Music Studios & both were incredible experiences! The staff are always friendly, patient & create a beautiful environment which inspires these young artists. I wish we lived closer so she could take regular classes there I'm so thankful we found their camps & have been able to at least make those work! read more

Our daughters have been to Coastal for over a year now and they love the teachers and staff. Everyone is very encouraging and the classes are according to the kid's needs. Recommend! read more

When you walk into Coastal Music Studios you feel like family. Andy and Pam the owners are the most wonderful, kind, patient, supportive people and have excellent service. Anytime we need to change dates of his class due to conflicts they go above and beyond to help. They even call other parents to adjust for you. They are flexible and always available. The studio has an open feeling and when you sit inside you definitely get the students and music is what's important. We have been going to Coastal Music almost two years. Our son had no previous lessons and I am blown away at how much he has learned. He especially loves playing in the showcases. He got to be the closing act a couple of times. Which shows you how much he improved in order to be chosen for that spot. Our sons guitar teacher is David and he has such a kind, loving, silly way about him. He really connects with our son. They choose music together, sometimes because our son loves it or maybe because David brought it up. He's played The Beatles, and Leonard Cohen. Best thing though is they encourage Jeremiah to create his own music. He has played two of his own original songs in performances. Our son even picked up the Ukulele and plays it now. He wants to try drums and acoustic guitar next. All of this shows you how Coastal Music fosters passion. I would recommend this family owned studio to everyone. read more

Just updating: We're still attending coastal music after 6.5 years! My daughter just finished her winter show case, and performing her piano piece at their big Charity event that the Choir puts on every year! The event is called Christmas4kidz and its an amazing thing to be a part of! If you're still on the fence on which studio to try for lessons, call them for a free first lesson! You won't be disappointed! read more

My instructor Kieran is super attentive and I always leave feeling inspired to work on my guitar skills. Take your lessons here! Explore that instrument you've always wanted to try!! read more

Very, very, very pleased with this music studio. I'm very particular about where my child with autism can go to engage with other kids and have a good time. The teachers were great, patient and constantly on point. Andy was straight forward with expectations and continued communication about what to expect. My child loved ukulele Camp. They had great activities and team exercises, and they made sure the kids had a great time, while still social distancing. We will be back! read more

What a wonderful local music school!! I called to get 4 or 5 consecutive piano lessons for my 5 yr old musical granddaughter who was visiting. Andy set me up with Zach a charming young teacher. Sophia loved him and learned 2 1/2 songs plus Treble and Bass Clefs in 4 30 min lessons. Andy helped me find a keyboard for her thru listings on Craig's List. A wonderful music school for youth and families. read more

My daughter just finished Coastal's annual ukulele camp. She was quite disappointed -- that it only lasted 3 hours/day! She would have been happy to stay at the studio all day, learning new songs from her awesome teacher, David, and gearing up to pummel him with water balloons at the end of the week. As a parent, it's bittersweet when your child is bummed to be leaving with you. But it's a clear sign that Coastal is doing things right. read more

My daughter just finished her first season of choir with Coastal Music Studios. She absolutely loved it and my husband and I were both very pleased with the experience as well. We are already looking forward to the fall season. In the meantime, since we had such a wonderful choir experience, we have singed her up for individual singing lessons. So far, my daughter is loving her lessons with Hillary. I would definitely recommend both the North County Children's Choir and private lessons. read more

Our 8-year-old daughter takes summer music camp here and she LOVES it. The instructors are knowledgeable, professional, and love what they do. You can tell how passionate they are for the craft and how they instill musical knowledge to children of all ages. Absolutely recommend this place and parking is not a prob. Owners Pam and Andy are patient and provide the best musical training possible. read more

It's hard to imagine that a more supportive environment could exist for kids than Coastal Music Studios. We've been clients for several years, several instruments, and vocal training. Every single teacher is incredible. They are knowledgeable, great with the kids, and incredibly encouraging. This is a school that is genuinely dedicated to instilling a love of music in all its forms in its students, and in giving them the confidence to express themselves musically. I can't recommend them highly enough - I wish there were more stars available! read more

My daughter had an amazing week at Coastal Music Studios' Ukelele Camp. She came in not knowing anything and timid to try something new. By the end of the week she was confidently strumming along (mostly hitting the right chords) and truly excited about everything she learned. The instructors were awesome, too, and they did a great job of keeping the kids focused and having fun. Best part was the Friday evening beach bonfire recital. Mmmm s'mores. read more

Thank you hosting such a great camp! Hamilton camp was wonderful. You gave the kids the gift of feeling normal, and having fun (despite the pandemic) in a safe environment. We are so grateful to the studio and hope to do more camps and lessons in the future. read more
