Since then, it hasn't had the same amount of a family feel but it does have a more professional feel, which is helpful.

Learning to play a new instrument is hard enough for someone who is just starting to learn,…read morefortunately, this music school has instructors they could be proud of as they really do make learning fun at the same time teaching good playing habits which is an essential lesson to learn while developing one's skill. My violin instructor Michelle I have to say is awesome! I like her attention to detail, from the way you hold your bow, finger positions, proper way to rosin and anything in between - she just keeps her lesson light, not over bearing and gives compliments and corrections when it is needed or due. I highly recommend Fun Music School, learning to play from a group in school is also fun, but having a one on one time with an instructor just reinforces good playing habit and music fundamentals. Highly recommended.

Our son has been attending Crescenta Academy for almost two years and we have been thoroughly…read morepleased and impressed with our experience! At 5 years old, he was a sport and went along with our idea to get some musical exposure, but he wasn't thrilled with the idea. We knew we'd have to find a piano teacher that could help inspire him. After stopping by a few local studios, we decided to give Jacklyn a try with 15 minute lessons to start. It was an instant hit! She has a demeanor about herself that works so well with children. Our son took so well to her style and right away I knew this would work for us. Every week, I look forward to taking my son to his lesson and I enjoy so much sitting in the studio to observe the interaction between Jacklyn and my son. She has a playful style of instruction that he feeds off of and its really fun to experience. She is just the right amount of rigid on her lessons and I've been very pleased with his progression. Like anything else, learning piano takes practice outside of the studio and he has been motivated to do so and absolutely loves his piano teacher. To celebrate the hard work, Crescenta Academy hosts BEAUTIFUL recitals to showcase the students. We have been part of two so far (Spring and Winter) and we are so looking forward to the upcoming Christmas holiday recital! 5 STARS+ for Jacklyn and Crescenta Academy.

I think my son just did about 2 months of piano lesson here. It's usually my wife that drops him…read moreoff but, that day, I happened to be the one dropping him off, and I've decided to sit down a bit further away from the lesson, and decided to just watch with no other intention. From the moment I came in, I felt that the piano instructor there is not friendly and does not usually look back and say hi to my boy nor to me. I am ok with this kind of thing as long as the lesson's got the quality so I was thinking to my self no big deal on this one. That day, not to make the matters worse, we forgot to bring our book (yes, I blame myself and my wife for not telling me to bring the book) but the instructor there had a face where she did not want to teach my child, I felt like, and another face with " You should leave here now, and what are you doing here not bringing the book" attitude. I was a bit puzzled because I've never experienced such face from someone who teaches kids (My son is 6). When I made a face of "Then, what am I supposed to do, and don't you have a spare book you can teach or something? What music school doe not have extra books for those who forget. I mean, Isn't that a normal thing for the little kids? " Only because of that, I assumed that she had no other choice but kill some time. Then, she was going over 'Typical' making the fist like egg shell (I've learned how to play the piano myself when I was young so I know how fast that chapter can last) but yet, because we forgot to bring the book, she was doing that for the next 15minutes( Yes, you may think that this is some ridiculous time here that they claim they are the music school and probably efficient to teach kids with 15min lesson. It wasn't even full 15mintues as it was already about 2minutes passed. At one point, she made a comment that my son does not have a piano, and it made it sound like, the lesson that she was giving is pointless because of that. (She did not have that specific comments but that's how i felt like). At that point, I had already heard from my wife that all she does is making egg shell with my son's fist, and that goes on about for 15 minutes for every lessons. I can see that my son's demeanor was very weak and uncomfortable and, not welcome here. So just to summarize, this piano instructor is somewhat cold, probably not welcoming all the kids she teaches depending on what the circumstances are, and making some comments about not having the instrument ( a few days to this, Me and my wife were discussing which piano we should buy, and eventually we would have bought him a piano, but the reason why we started sending him here is to have him be familiar with the piano first. He is only 6). After that day, I was furious about the school and the instructor, and asked my wife to stop sending him to this instructor. Anyways, if you want a decent care and somewhat of decent time for any piano lessons here, probably not the one.

I finally worked up the courage to call, and Sako -- the owner and instructor -- offered me a free introductory session. That first lesson completely eased my nerves, and I signed up for weekly classes right after. I've been going ever since. Sako is incredibly patient, encouraging, and understanding. As an adult with work and so many responsibilities, it's not always easy to practice as much as I'd like -- but he meets you where you are and truly wants you to grow at your own pace. I'm genuinely happy with the progress I've made so far. They're also very accommodating with scheduling. As long as you give at least a day's notice, they're happy to adjust your lesson time. If you're an adult thinking about finally learning piano but feeling hesitant -- this is your sign. It's never too late.
