My daughter has taken lessons here for several years, starting with piano, and we've had mostly…read moregreat experiences with the teachers. When one teacher wasn't the right fit, the staff was flexible and supportive in helping us make a change. The director and front desk are thoughtful, accommodating, and always focused on what's best for the students. Recently, my daughter switched to cello and absolutely loves it--her teacher, Jasper, is genuine, respectful, and makes learning the cello feel relaxed despite its challenges. Recitals are fun, and we're so happy with the program and its affordability that we plan to enroll our other kids in piano group lessons for music theory. We'll update this review then!

I have been putting this off for so long due to fear but he made me feel so comfortable and reminded me that we are learning at my pace. He created an atmosphere of fun which was really awesome!!

Practicing with Don has been such a wonderful experience for me!…read more I played piano from the age of 10-17 years old and then I took a very long break off. About a year ago I decided to start playing again and I found Don on Yelp. He has so much knowledge and experience about the piano, and is very open to different musical genres of the piano. He has been willing to work with me in regards to my schedule and is very patient and understanding, which has been extremely helpful because I am married with a 3 year old. My experience with Don has been great and I highly recommend! When my son is old enough he will definitely be taking piano lessons with Don

Well, I came across Music Alley one day so I popped in real quick to ask if they had art classes. Everyone was amazing from the moment I walked in. Super helpful and very kind. To say the least my son has been in art classes now going on 3 months, not only does he LOVE it but I am so impressed at how good he's become at drawing! He loves his teacher and says his lessons fly by! This place is great!

Wound up going to Rockstars of Tomorrow and had excellent customer service. While we were referred there I would not recommend MusicAlley. The owner was there by herself teaching and twice we caught her screaming at the student. I can somewhat understand your point but in no way you are treating the kids right lady. I know plenty of piano instructors who doesn't verbally abuse the kids when they didn't notice there's someone outside.

She's been playing for about five years and plays viola in her high school's competitive Symphony. Because she also plays travel sports, finding time for lessons at a traditional music school can be difficult. We were so happy to find this studio locally in the Diamond Bar/Pomona area. Monica, the owner, is friendly and welcoming, and Mr. Chen, her viola teacher, is knowledgeable, encouraging, and supportive. He's been great at helping her continue developing her technique and confidence while preparing for the demands of Symphony. The studio is upstairs in a busy shopping center, and sometimes parking is an issue. Every time we come in there seem to be kids coming and going--which I take as a great sign! We've had a positive experience and definitely recommend them.

He…read moreaccommodated us at the beginning with 3 classes a month until I started working, it was something he agreed to without hesitation before signing on with him, which we appreciated greatly. **Edited to add that we never missed a payment and never made a late payment. However, we started to notice him getting frustrated at our daughter while reading notes (we sat in her classes). We brushed it off until she expressed how she felt like crying once off his reaction. He had forgotten that he had never gone over flats with her, just sharps, and got frustrated when she wasn't able to read them in a holiday song with a lot of note variation. He would teach her something once and expected her to perfect it right away, providing no extra support if she was struggling with something. The class seemed unorganized too. He doesn't expand on music theory either. He refused us make-up class too, although his policy states that he does them....it's credit he doesn't give for missed classes. We understand he has a business to run but the way he went about answering was extremely rude, unprofessional and confrontational. I have never had an interaction like that with anybody. He might've taken offense at me questioning why we were being denied a makeup but his reaction was very unprofessional. We decided to let him know that this would be her last month of classes but that it was pleasure seeing our daughter grow in his class. She missed the class before last due to illness but when I asked about a makeup again he said show up 15 minutes earlier.. When we showed up to her last class at 2:35 (for her 2:45 class), he said we were late in a confrontational tone. We were only late ONCE the entire year we took classes with him (if anything he would see us late because he was running behind). I stated her class was at 2:45, very confused, but let him know that we were late for the makeup part of it. We understood we were forfeiting makeup class time, which we were only getting 15 minutes of anyway. He stated it was at 2:30 and we were late so he would only see us until 3:00. I know the class is at 2:45-3:15, it was in our agreement over text which I have proof of. His reaction seemed like retaliation for ending classes with him and for the makeup class interaction. I decided to leave class as my daughter looked uncomfortable and he replied "have a nice life!!" I suggest rewording his makeup class policy so it's clear that makeup classes are conditional to certain terms. Parents don't brush off your children if they express feeling uncomfortable with a teachers style. I wish him and his students the best!

Rising Stars performing arts studio is an absolute GEM! Ms Aurora, Ms Lulu, and all the instructors…read moreare on point! Our daughter was enrolled in singing. One of the most valuable skills developed is to overcome stage fright. Ms Lulu encourages students to do self-introductions, modelling/cat-walk, sing, dance, and build overall stage presence. This may sound simple but can actually be quite challenging. Being able to confidently acquire this skill takes a dash of grit and more importantly - the opportunities to practice! Ms Lulu works hard to consistently create these opportunities for students in a wide variety of settings! From one-on-one voice lessons, to formal recitals, to community venues, to municipal events, to modelling at fashion shows, to filming music videos, to singing national anthems and performances at crowded sports stadiums, to highly advertised music events in crowded college campuses. Our daughter even got to experience singing in professional grade music recording studios! The value of these experiences in building a child's confidence is absolutely incredible! If your child is considering playing an instrument, sing, dance, or doing any sort of performing arts - This IS hands down the BEST studio! I highly recommend giving them a chance to help nurture and showcase your child's talents!

5 Star service from Stevie!…read more My daughter came home from school Monday showing me that a piece of her cork came off. Unfortunately for us, she also had an upcoming band concert Wednesday evening. All of the other local music shops told me it would take 4 days to a week or more to repair. I was happy and relieved when Stevie said he may be able to get it done in time, I just needed to bring it in and get evaluated. Thankfully, he was able to complete the repair in time for the concert and we picked up some cork grease as well. Would definitely bring her clarinet back anytime we need a repair or other service done.
