If you are looking for affordable fun singing classes, then this is the place to be. Ashton is…read moresuper patient and knows how to gage the level of each individual student. I've been coming here for about a year, mainly because I wanted an extra activity to do between work and I have to say, I have learned a lot about my voice and how to use it properly. I used to strain my voice all the time just singing in the car but now I can sing for hours on those long road trips haha. I also train people at work in software and am required to talk quite a lot. Ashton has taught me how to effectively use my voice even if I am not singing. I used to run out of breath and my voice would be gone after a four to five hour training but now I'm breathing properly and projecting my voice with my diaphragm instead of my throat. The small details and the exercises that Ashton gives really make a large difference. I have since convinced my girlfriend to take lessons. She was hesitant at first and not very motivated to start singing lessons but now she loves it. Along with the singing lessons, Ashton also does some fun events such as Christmas shows, music videos with all the members and other fun stuff. These are not required but they are excited to test out all those hours of vocal training. Highly recommended for all ages and especially if you are just looking for something new to try.

Greg Harris is a fantastic piano teacher and coach. He is a profoundly gifted musician and has…read moretremendous insight in working with both young people; he taught piano to my teenage son who now a professional musician, as well as adults; myself. I highly recommend Greg to anyone whether beginner or highly advanced as he is the real deal. Wonderful person and gifted musician. For myself he began as an accompanist for my singing and this developed into his being musical director of our unique music ensemble of medieval rock. Because of his keen knowledge of all musical styles he could create the most remarkable arrangements of ancient songs I brought to him. Who ever goes to work with Greg will learn more than you could have imagined.

My son is 11, and he's definitely not the type to do something he doesn't enjoy--and we would never…read moreforce him to. But from his very first trial class at Music Lab, he instantly connected with Noah. He's more than just a teacher. He encourages my son's creativity, listens to his opinions, and makes him feel respected while learning. I truly think that's why my son enjoys his classes so much. He even asked if he could attend more sessions with Noah! Noah teaches other instruments as well, and he even got my son interested in learning more than one instrument, which honestly surprised us in the best way. My son has only been with Music Lab for a little over a month now, but his progress has been mind-blowing--and that is not an exaggeration. The growth we've seen in such a short amount of time has honestly amazed us. I spent a lot of time researching music schools in the area, and I'm so happy we chose Music Lab. The class prices are also very competitive, especially for the quality of instruction and attention the students receive. It has absolutely been worth it!

My little one has also started his piano lessons here as well and is so excited for his first recital!

There are several places for music lessons around my area and I thoroughly did my research. I'm…read moreglad we found Prado Music Academy almost a year ago for my son(10) who wanted to learn how to play the violin and daughter(8) who wanted to play piano. They just had their 1st recital last Saturday and they did an amazing job! Grateful for the school especially my son's violin teacher Ms. Allegra and daughter's piano teacher Mr. Nico who chose beautiful music pieces to perform for the recital. Ms. Allegra is sweet, organized and super patient with my son, who's usually really shy but he was so confident during his recital and he was happy he did a duet with his teacher during the recital. I'm amazed how fast he was learning. Mr. Nico keeps the lesson fun for my daughter. He really educates her in reading notes and playing. He's very encouraging and committed to teaching. The staff and owner, Jennifer, is very accommodating. Always emails or calls back at a timely manner whenever I have questions. Scheduling make up lesson is also a cinch just by doing it online. I highly recommend Prado Music Academy to parents who want their child/ren to receive top notch music training. Can't wait for the next recital and how much my kids will improve!

That should have been the first sign i was dealing with a self centered narcissist ? Seeing she had Zero sensitivity to my crucial situation YA THINK ? well it just gets better and better from there , INSTEAD of having the professionalism to email me forms to fill out , she waits till i get to her "CAT HOUSE" to hand me forms so that it would EAT into my $90 , NICE !!! as the hour progresses , i saw that she was very low on the scale of what i'm use to as far as TOP NOTCH REAL actual PROFESSIONAL vocal coaches are concerned ,& SADLY i am humbly scratching the surface here since i still havnt mentioned how rude & abrasive she was while sharply shouting @ me as to how I should park which later on she STATED there's actually no parking allowed ,& next time i'd have to park out on street and walk to her , GREAT !!! BEING the CLOCK WATCHER she turns out to be , She says lesson over & you get no vocalizing since you talked entire time !!! WOW just WOW , i'm wondering why she didn't clarify when i got there , that there's NO talking allowed ? NICE LADY !!! than i asked about vocalizations for practice ? & was told those only come with payment ? so i zelle'd her for 4 more lessons in advance , But still no mention of any kind of vocal exercises , & i was feeling EXTREMELY disrespected & her HAUTY holier then thou attitude just made it all the worse , THE REAL DEAL BREAKER came when i was taking my time walking out the door due to an injured left leg & she was practically physically shoving me out the door , i was begging her to take it easy as she screamed urgently for her BABIES , stating it was feeding time ( 5 cats ) & the ICING on the cake came when i driving out , the gate was bolted & chained locked & since i wasn't familiar with the layout of the parking lot , i called her & her anger had escalated @ that point to the level of insinuating i was not so brite !!! sorry ms waters i have no idea where i am & it's dark outside , @ that point i was done with the entire Crazy Cat Lady Drama & could clearly see this would not be a healthy learning environment for me so i pulled my car over & call Nancy Badger a protege of Ron Anderson (rip) who was literally the top in the world and worth the 1,500$ he charged !!! now i've booked a lesson with Nancy & i can't wait !!! ba bye Marquita !!! sorry but u don't practice all the PEACE & LOVE that you preach & as far as i'm concerned you OWE ME A FULL REFUND !!! you can fool some of the people some of the time but not all of the people all of the time !!! personally i was feeling WIZARD from the WIZARD of OZ vibes !!! sad situation singers BEWARE , enter with caution !!!!

Marquita is a fun and knowledgeable person that has made my singing improve, given me performance…read moreconfidence, and made singing enjoyable. I've been a singer ever since I was a kid. I love doing karaoke with my grandma and was in choir for five years. I've gotten to learn some techniques over the years, but not the right techniques that would build my natural sound. I've always wanted to improve my singing with professional help, but I always felt scared and insecure of reaching my dream. Until years later I felt ready to conquer that and my grandmother recommended me Marquita. I found Marquita's website and submitted a request for private lessons, and Marquita responded within 24 hours! We talked on the phone about the goals I want for myself and we set a date and time to start. From the first day, Marquita was very communicative and clear as far as where to park and explained her terms and conditions for payment and cancellations (which seemed fair and reasonable to me). Her home is spacious and comfortable. She has some cute cats that sometimes likes to come out and say hi, but for the most part they stay upstairs and hidden. From Marquita's private lessons, she has helped me learned the right techniques for my sound in ways that are comfortable for me, and in ways that challenge myself in the best way. She gave me a file she made of different vocal warm ups that really do help prepare my voice. From her teachings, I've been able to push my voice in ways I didn't know I could even reach to. Also from her knowledge, I've been able to even understand the scientific perspective when singing as well. Even on days when I have stage fright, been hard on myself, or when other problems have gotten in the way, Marquita has been very kind, patient, understanding, and supportive. I also do attend the performance practice with her other students twice a month. The performance practice really helps me feel comfortable with performing, receiving feedback, and having fun with the other students. At first I was nervous to join because of my stage fright, but through the practice and being in a safe environment, it has really helped me conquer it. We give each other feedback and support that makes it easier to perform in front of each other over time. She's been a great teacher, mentor, and friend through this experience, and I'm really grateful for her guidance.
