His help was incredibly valuable and made the experience both enjoyable and stress-free. Gabriel was patient and knowledgeable, introducing me to several options and allowing me to hear and understand the subtle differences in each guitar.

Maddie was so great and professional, relaxed and knowledgeable and my daughter had a lot of fun with her. Mollys music was really accommodating with scheduling changes and trying to support my daughter's very busy schedule. Highly recommend!

I haven't touched my cello for over 30 years but now that kids have grown and out of the house, I…read morefinally have time to pick it up again. It was not in good shape and needed some major restoration. I was concerned about what much it would cost and while talking to a friend, he referral me to Patrick at Everjoy Music. The store is located inside of a business complex, easy to find and plenty of parking. I brought my cello to Patrick and he was warm, knowledgeable, honest, and gave me options because of my limited budget. He made his recommendations and I was able to tell him parts I wanted to keep even though it wasn't ideal to keep them; he made it work and understood I had sentimental values. He respected my wishes. I came in feeling out of depth, really haven't played for so long and not feeling confident at all handling a cello. Patrick never made me feel less or unimportant. Estimated time was about a month but Patrick contacted me after 2 weeks that it was done. I picked up the newly restored cello today and it was so beautiful and the sound made me wanted to cry. Thank you, Patrick, for your wonderful handiwork. Thank you for being so easy to talk to and work with.

I started private voice lessons at Park Vocal Studio with Hea Suk Park, and honestly--my voice has…read morenever been stronger, fuller, or more resonant. For context, I'm not new to singing. I had private voice lessons from ages 10-18, continued with vocal coaching for several years after that, and have experience with public performance across classical, musical theater, and pop. Even with that background, the progress I've made in just five months with Hea Suk is kind of wild. My control, consistency, and awareness of my voice are on a completely different level. She is an expert teacher--professional, detailed, and very intentional. I'm a naturally curious student, and she always answers my questions with clear, logical explanations and live demos that make the technique click immediately. Nothing feels vague or mystical; it's structured, practical, and effective. The vibe in lessons is focused and positive. She tells you the truth about what needs improvement (which I appreciate), shows you exactly how to fix it, and then demonstrates every technique herself. Her soprano voice is powerful, resonant, and inspiring--it sets a real standard and motivates you to apply the work. I genuinely look forward to my weekly lessons. And while I come in with experience, I can absolutely see how someone with zero background could learn to sing confidently and correctly with her guidance. If you're serious about vocal technique and want real, measurable improvement, this studio is the real deal.

I texted the instructor or owner, Kim, asking if we can reschedule because we still wanted to take the class. Received no response, so I made a courtesy call to provide a notice and was received by Kim,to my surprise I was met with the response of "no you can't reschedule" after explaining to him that we were very sick and how can he expect us to show up when we don't feel well. His next response was "I need a 24 hour notice" I'm sorry Kim but the human body doesn't work that way. I told Kim that I'm willing to still come in myself but Im very sick and was being courteous as I do not want to get him sick. That's when his tone changed and agreed to a reschedule. Thanks for offering the reschedule but no thanks. There was never a mention about a 24 hour notice over the phone, and do you really want potential customers who are sick coughing in your face? I guess customer customer service is not a priority, so I will take my business elsewhere.

I am an adult learner of piano and her patience and kindness and generosity of time really made, and continues to make, the process enjoyable and fun! I was so anxious and nervous to come back to the piano after years of not playing and she is just the perfect teacher. She has different methods: the traditional method and a more modern method if you want to start learning piano pieces faster. So she has different options for different types of learners. I treasure the fact that I was able to start piano lessons again under her guidance. I do not hesitate to recommend her to adult learners. Give it a try, adult learners of SoCal! Piano playing relaxes the mind and gives such peace as a wonderful outlet after a long work day.
