Our instructors (usually Jordan and Ben) are both so talented and good with kids - our boys not only enjoy learning and improving their skills, but also have fun... which has been critical in keeping them engaged. Because we're at the school a couple of days a week for both the private lessons and the Rock 101 band camps, I see a lot of other instructor-student interactions, and the energy is always so encouraging and positive... just really great role models. The manager and front desk staff are always helpful and friendly. Highly recommend if you want to foster a love of music in your kiddos!

This owner did not protect my kid after the instructor initiated a discussion about sex which…read morebreaks their code of conduct and employment contracts they use to earn your business. An adult male guitar instructor at the Gilbert location read an article called "Are Guitarists Good in Bed?" to my 13 year old daughter who was taking private guitar lessons for the past 4 months. The instructor admitted to reading the article and was temporarily suspended but did keep his job, and has been offered professional development as a consequence. The manager of the Gilbert location and the owner (who also owns the site in Scottsdale) said they believed the instructor who said he was sorry and that he read this article as a joke, but had no bad intent. Management's solutions were to implement professional development for all staff (great for staff and future kids) and keep this instructor as a vital member to their business (great for his career). I am told he teaches 20+ kids up to 4 days a week and "deserves a second chance". We were told we could pick a new instructor, pick a different day, call to make sure he wasn't staffing whatever she wants to participate in, and if she really wanted to attend something he was staffing that they'd move him if they could, or attend the Scottsdale site. All of these solutions put the burden on the victim when the consequences should be placed on the adult who made the decision. When I offered these as solutions for the instructor to bear it was repeatedly rejected. When I inquired about the steps that were taken during his suspension and how they cleared him to return to work, I was accused of "going on a witch hunt" by the owner instead of being informed on their process and efforts to restore my broken trust and that of my daughter. I believe this instructor should have been fired on the spot for his behavior, and at the very least if he were to remain employed, that he would bear the brunt of the changes needed to care for the intent as perceived by the child who was brave enough to speak up before things got dangerous despite knowing it meant she could lose the opportunity to join the performance group with her piers. Which it has because our final two lessons were refunded.

Musicology turned out to be a whole lot more than that. Their program is research-based and the curriculum is thoughtfully curated to be engaging, motivating, and provides the history and culture of music. Beyond that, the team at Musicology truly cares about your child and your family. They rally behind families who may be experiencing difficult seasons of life and they regularly give back to the community. You won't regret going, but you will definitely regret not giving them a try!

I really wanted to have a positive experience with Music Makers Workshops, but unfortunately that…read morehasn't been the case so far. I have personally visited their location three separate times during their posted hours of operation to ask questions about their workshops, and each time the door has been locked. What made this more frustrating is that there were no signs posted indicating holidays, special events, temporary closures, or when they would reopen. No notice on the door, no explanation--just locked up. As someone genuinely interested in learning more about their programs, it felt discouraging to make multiple trips with no information or communication available. I think this business has potential, but better communication would go a long way. Updating hours online, posting signage, or providing some form of notice would help customers avoid wasted trips and confusion. Hopefully this feedback helps improve the customer experience moving forward.

My child and I attended the trial class for the K-Pop Music program featuring K-Pop Demon Hunters,…read moreand while we truly appreciate the creativity behind offering a class inspired by K-Pop and love seeing how popular the genre has become with younger students, I wanted to share some honest feedback. Although the theme and the advertisement of K-Pop is great, the class itself did not include any actual Korean elements. The "K" in K-Pop stands for Korean, yet the song sheets handed out were entirely in English, and students were specifically instructed to sing only the English versions and not the Korean lyrics. This makes the class feel misaligned with what K-Pop actually is, and in that sense, calling it a K-Pop class feels like unintentional false advertising. I feel advertising it as a vocal class featuring hit songs from the movie K-Pop Demon Hunters (English Version) would be better than calling it a "K-Pop Class." To give one example, I overheard a student telling her mom afterward that all the Korean parts had been replaced with English words and she excitedly said she now "knows Korean," which highlights the confusion this can create. We genuinely appreciate the effort to bring modern music into the curriculum, and we think a class inspired by K-Pop could be wonderful with some adjustments. We simply wanted to share this feedback in case it helps refine the program. Thank you for taking the time to read this, and we wish you the best with your classes.

We did a meet-and-greet at another music academy & it did not go well! Not sure how your almost 4 year old was/is but mine can be pretty stubborn. Without getting into it, I knew finding a teacher that worked well with younger kids would be so important! I initially reached out to Desert Ridge Music Academy via email & they responded the same day! They were thorough & answered all my questions, as well as worked with me on a class time & the instructor I wanted. Before I get into how much we love our instructor, I have to talk about the lady who runs the front & answers the phones...she's amazing! She's a grandma & acts like the grandma of all the kids! She's so warm & fun! She really helped my sometimes brutally shy daughter, feel comfortable! We look forward to seeing her every week! Now, as far as our piano instructor - Yarou - she's outstanding! Clearly a talented, renowned pianist, but also a really great teacher! She's patient with my daughter while still being consistent & continually finding ways to reach her on her level. I really appreciate her effort, which is totally paying off! It's amazing to see my now 4 & a half year old reading basic notes, playing "Mary Had A Little Lamb" on our grand piano & even toy pianos, and being excited to continue to learn!

TODAY - I am contacted with an explanation that "I honestly thought you were probably a good person but I felt a dislike towards me right away. That energy was truly difficult for me to deal with." His "concerned" response concluded with this: "PS. I once had a doctor do surgery on my knee. I really disliked him (really this guy was a jerk) but I knew he was an expert..... My knee works great again. :)" Since 12/23/2014 (again five months after my initial review) - the Owner has contacted me several times via personal email 3-4 and 1x telephone (actually left a message) - surreptitiously attempting to convince me to edit/delete or otherwise alter my review. I find the Owner's contact inappropriate and borderline harassing. I rejected his offers of a refund as that is not the intent of my review - rather to advise others of my experience. The Owner provided a service- and was compensated for his service. My opinion is this Owner does not take kindly to those with opposing/differing views. Unprofessional and inappropriate boundaries.
