Unfortunately, in a choice that I foolishly regret, on Tuesday, June 11th, 2024 I attended the…read morefirst session of Vocal Ensembles class with Mr. Juan. In this class, I was openly insulted by him several times even after stating that I am a beginner. In front of the others, he proceeded to reference an example that apparently compared my singing to that he always wanted to play baseball but he just wasn't good at it. He was better at soccer instead. I was highly offended because as I child I was told cruel comments about my singing by certain family members and it stuck with me for my entire life. At 38 years old, I finally (or so I thought) drew the courage to try to learn properly how to sing and all was going well until that fateful Tuesday that is. Mr Juan should think before he speaks because there is a great difference between constructive criticism and outright rudeness. Making jokes that I had tonal amnesia is very upsetting. He doesn't know what some of his students have been through or how many have finally summoned up courage after putting their voice out there again after previously hearing cruel words. He tried to cover up his nastiness by saying no one is here to judge only to help. Well, too late, as I felt and still feel judged. I am not a professional singer nor do I pretend to be. I only wanted to learn and not have childhood trauma re-hatched. I guess I will take Mr. Juan's advice because as a classically trained ballet dancer I will stick with my own version of "soccer" and forget about singing because it's my version of "baseball" and apparently I will never be decent at it no matter how hard I try. One always catches more files with honey than they do vinegar. I hope Mr. Juan will one day learn that. I originally tried to post this review on Wellness Living last year but Avalon School of Music wouldn't post it to keep their bogus 5 Star reviews. Adults looking for lessons BEWARE of Mr. Juan!!

This school is right in downtown Avalon Park and I can not say enough great things about it!…read more They've put together an AMAZING team of instructors. Both of my kids to these schools (there are 4 others in Central Florida which are all owned by the same person). Michael went to Notre Dame and carried on to major in Pipe Organ Performance (with a minor in cybersecurity because, hey, why not?) and Andrew learned the piano and bass guitar, eventually switching to sports from music and attending UCF with confidence that, sometimes, only the arts can give you. Please take a look at the free lesson promotion they have right now because it is the best one I've seen to date.

Pretty cool school for young musicians, maybe also good for teenagers and adults wanting some…read moretraining. There are many rooms, seats, the school has an open mic event every so often, they rent instruments also and there are several pianos available for piano lessons... which means they also offer voice lessons. It is better if you call or go online. My youngest comes here for violin lessons, she is very happy and the instructor makes things easy, interesting and fun, which is what kids are really looking for: to have fun. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them.

We've been attending piano lessons with Ms. Jessica for 6 months now. I've been quite pleased with…read morethe instruction that my son receives. There's an emphasis on music theory, even when it's not his favorite thing to do. She's an excellent instructor and is very good with younger students. She's patient, yet thorough. In addition to piano, the school offers guitar, voice, violin, percussion and DJ skills. They recently upgraded the cozy waiting area to include a split screen monitor that shows video feeds from all of the practice rooms. This gives me confidence that someday my son won't want me to sit in the small practice room with him. It's roomy enough for a student and instructor, but I don't aspire to be a helicopter mom--I would prefer to sit in the lobby. They offer snacks, water, tea and coffee for eating parents. The snack bowl usually has cereal bars as well as apples and is my son's second favorite part of each lesson. There are two optional recitals each year. And there's an instrument supply store that also offers rentals. If you're looking for a music school, especially for little ones, this is an excellent option.

I love all the creative and fun projects the little ones get to do, it's very STEAM inspired. My little guy started attending when he was about 17 months and I love that I can just drop him off and they supply the food, diapers and wipes. It's very convenient.

Creative world in Avalon park was one of the worst mistakes I could have made. The management team…read morewas disrespectful and unprofessional. One of many prime examples could consist of: talking negatively about families behind their backs, or with other employees. The management team was also biased towards workers and students. You clearly could see favoritisms, and strong dislikes. One employee may get in trouble for being on their phone, while others get away with it day in and day out. One child may be targeted for a possible delay in development, while other children with severe behavioral troubles are overlooked, not given guidance to get the right help. Frustrations amongst the management team were often taken out on the employees which hindered their abilities to give the children the quality care they deserve. Creative world Avalon park is all about money. They enroll too many children at times, so they don't have to turn somebody away and lose out. Therefore that would lead to full rooms and sometimes being too short staffed, often resulting in the children having to be shuffled to a different room, leaving the kids with no stability. You may drop off in one room but that doesn't mean that's where a child stays all day. There was a child, way to young for a classroom, still on bottles, who had to sit at the table to have the bottle instead of being held, and having that one on one social interaction. This was all due to being over full in the proper room this child belonged in, and being shuffled to a higher aged room. Furthermore, what the parents ask or want is mostly a no go. Parents don't have a say if their child is on a bottle come a certain room, if their child still uses a pacifier or lovey, that all stops in certain rooms regardless of the parents want, or what comforts the child. Management was also lazy at times, not giving their full effort towards the daycares proper functioning. Examples could include: times passing by in the main lobby, where management was either on their phone, or sitting making beaded bracelets. Another example, even on extra short staffed days, it was far and few in between you'd pass by a classroom and see management step up and into a classroom to help it run a bit more smoothly. This daycare holds no value. The employees deserve a non toxic, supportive, stable environment and creative world Avalon park does not offer that. Children also deserve these same things and then some, in order to have the quality care they deserve, which is often hard to be fulfilled due to the treatment and emotions caused by management. The number of people that left creative world, or un-enrolled their children, is plentiful, and that is only the tip of the iceberg. I highly recommend looking further than the friendly smiles that greet you at the door when you walk into creative world Avalon park. There's better out there.
