They have wonderful teachers who all genuinely love music, and they work with kids personal music preferences as well. Ms Laurie Ann herself is super invested into the kids, music and studio, and on top of that she is amazingly flexible. Whenever we have to reschedule or shift schedules, she always makes it work for us. They offer recitals on a small scale, as well as the larger more formal option too. The music school has provided my son with so much confidence, and we are faithful students. We highly recommend it for the value and service!

At the time we first came across Julie, my then 14-year-old brother had been interested in learning piano. I had reached to several music teachers in the area, and while most of them followed up with me, Julie was the one person who genuinely came across as her most authentic self when she said I could call her with any questions I had, which I did. She patiently addressed all my questions over the phone and made herself available for my parents (whom are native Spanish speakers but can get by with some conversational English) and my brother to check out her studio and answer their questions. It was the best decision we ever made. My brother is now 17-years-old and closing up his final year with Julie as he prepares to graduate from high school. Over the last 3 and a half years, Julie has helped my brother gain inspiration and confidence in himself. He was diagnosed with Autism at a young age but is high-functioning and asks a TON of questions, all of which Julie patiently answers for him. My brother really dedicates a great deal of time in mastering the piano and Julie is always more than happy to provide challenging pieces for him to work on. My family and I really enjoy working with her and she has always made herself available when we had to submit letters of recommendation for music scholarships and she truly cares about her students.

She takes time to help our child through tough parts of pieces, and always has great insight and suggestions to help our child understand musical concepts. Ms Julie is very flexible and accommodating with our schedule. When the pandemic surged, we needed to change our piano schedule due to work constraints / requirements and Ms Julie was able to shuffle around the schedule to let my child continue her lessons. Ms Julie is easily accessible for questions and concerns, as well as lesson format. During the pandemic, Ms Julie was able to quickly switch over to virtual lessons so our child could continue music lessons, and stay sane during the lockdown. I am amazed at the amount of ground we covered during the year of virtual lessons. We are very thankful to have found Ms Julie and we recommend her without any reservation.

This review starts with the purchase of 3 SKB cases in early 2000. After years of use (and abuse), 25 countries and millions of miles we needed to repair not one, but all three of the cases. After a couple emails, photos and a drive to Orange County, California we found ourselves at SKB's Corporate Headquarters. In less than a hour the Customer Service Team went above and beyond to stand by their OUTSTANDING product. We can not speak highly enough about a company that stands by its product. This is NOT a throwaway, imprudent or environmentally destructive commodity like others in this category. Make the investment in any or all SKB Cases and you will find that their product not only weathers the test of time, but will equal or "go the extra mile" than their competition. We at arricci.com will, on no occasion, choose anything other than "THE" SKB Case. The 1977 company founders Dave Sanderson and Steve Kottman at SKB Corporation should be proud.

STAY FAR AWAY FROM MUSIC LESSONS HERE…read more We traded in our son's violin for a pair of clarinet lessons with Victor, who I would not trust around anyone's children. Our 11 year old son, who loves the clarinet and absolutely loves music class in school, was shamed for not being as good a clarinet player as the instructor (who spent a considerable amount of time during the lesson showing off and playing the instrument instead of trying to teach). The instructor, Victor, ridiculed our son for not knowing how to read music well, and also took posters down off of the walls when he said the boy was being distracted.  When our son was crying, the instructor, Victor, even blamed our son and said, "Why are you crying? I didn't do anything." This clarinet instructor, Victor, is absolutely terrible with children and I can't believe he does this for a living. After the session, he was brazen enough to psychoanalyze the child IN FRONT OF HIM and say that "he doesn't take constructive criticism well." Telling someone that they aren't good enough or  are doing something wrong is not constructive criticism. There's nothing constructive about derisive language. An entry-level child student is looking for instruction, support, and uplifting, not negative reinforcement. Instead of clarinet lessons, what we received was abuse and an insult to music instructors everywhere. TERRIBLE. 0/5 stars

I've been attending Guitar Ninjas for almost 4 years, and it has been a phenomenal experience. My…read morewife found Guitar Ninjas through Yelp when searching for a birthday present for me. When she called, she spoke directly with Jason, and he answered all her questions. They got me signed up for my first lesson pretty quickly after that, and the rest is history. The curriculum Jason pulled together has helped me improve my skills while exposing me to new and interesting musical genres. However, my experience would be nothing without my instructor, Jin. He is an excellent guitarist in his own right and an excellent teacher as well. I came in with a smattering of guitar knowledge (had been playing for ~10 years before signing up and was largely self-taught), and Jin knew how to take what I already knew and combine it with everything the curriculum had to offer, dramatically improving my playing. I'm now able to do more than just look at a chord sheet and strum along or slowly make my way through a tab. I'm able to listen to a song, understand it, and am slowly but surely getting to a point where I can start transcribing by ear. Jin has been integral to this process, and I appreciate all the insight and help he has provided. If you are interested in either learning how to play guitar or improving your skills, Guitar Ninjas is the way to do it. I'll also give a shout-out to the support team; they've been responsive to all the questions I've had over the years and transparent about any issues that've arisen. Thank you all for your dedication to teaching and helping me become a better guitarist. Rock on!

We enrolled him in Rock 101 on guitar because of his interest in music, lack of interest in sports, and our desire to get him involved in something that would force him out of his comfort zone. The results have been more than I could have asked for. We're approaching 2 years in, he's performed about 6 concerts now (each time feeling less and less anxious), and has developed a real skill. His private teacher Cameron is just awesome, and has provided our son with consistent, encouraging feedback. He's made our son comfortable in a way I didn't expect from this place. We signed up our younger son for drums, and he loves it as well. I highly encourage kids to sign up. It's free to try out and the monthly cost is worth every penny.

We checked out and also found out the price was very high and we knew that it's not a place for us. Recommend people to take the trail class they offer first before making a decision to see if that's something you and your kids are looking for. Once you signed up, I don't know how easy of getting out of the contract.
