I have been searching high and low for the absolute best Drum Instructor for my eldest child and I have to admit that Temecula Music Academy has one of the best, if not the best instructor in the business; His name is Blake. He knows how to have patience and use building blocks to get across otherwise difficult music theories.We have also worked with the other instructors as well and all have been phenomenal!My son went from knowing zero about music to keeping different time signature rhythms and is now apart of rock band shredding up the valley!10/10 Customer service10/10 pricing10/10 lessons
I am a student at this academy. I take drum lessons from Blake, and not only has he been a great teacher but also a great friend. He has changed my life and musical abilities. I don’t know what it would be like without him. From day one he was very nice and friendly, and I had never had any problems with any of the staff. Truly a great place to learn music and grow as a musician.
We have been taking guitar lessons with Billy for over 8 years. Hes an awesome teacher. Love the location too. So close to my house.
I am an adult learner and love my teacher, Sarah. Very knowledgeable and fun. Very happy with my experience.
Professional musicians teaching students, taking students through the fundamentals as a foundation for sound progress. Makes lessons fun and easily comprehendible. Equips students to play at Academy recitals, as well as preparation for entering school band.
Blake is a fantastic Drum teacher. Very patient and great at nurturing kids with special needs. Highly recommend.
The teachers here are great friendly and professional. Traditional teaching methods with an emphasis on fun.
I went there with my daughter for the first time and no one knew who she was or what she was there for. She was supposed to be getting a piano lesson and maybe 20 minutes the lady kept coming in and out the room telling me she had no idea why she was teaching her. She called her boss to see if she knew who my daughter was. The boss never answered. Overall this place is dirty and Very unorganized. The lady that was with my daughter seemed very upset. I will not be going back! Save your money and go somewhere else.
Wonderful experience here. Kind instructors - and knowledgeable! Our child has done very well, and the instructors are willing to work with his learning curve. It has been very positive for our family!!
Great place for high level professional instruction. All the teachers are well rounded in all aspects of music. Music is something that takes time and discipline not something you can do just once a month.
The owner isn’t friendly to young adults or adults for that matter. Terrible experience, there are plenty of other instructors and places around. This place is tiny and over priced, add that with terrible customer service... to the girl with the English accent, ‘we found a better steak, for a cheaper price’. That was your analogy when we asked if you would give us the same rate as a bigger competitor. Not only do you have terrible customer service skills but your predjudice against diverse families are not tolerated in Temecula.
LOCATION HAS MOVED TO:31045 TEMECULA PKWY. SUITE 208.I think this place is amazing! Russell Bizzett has been my drum instructor and mentor for almost three years. He is a very patient and kind man, and has drastically improved my drumming ability!It seems theres a big difference in opinion between people who actually walk through the door and attend the academy, verses people surfing for the cheapest, do it at my leisure, what do you care if I practice or not, type of lessons. Did the other people who rated this place poorly, conveniently forget to mention that the instructors here have degrees from the London college of music and the Berklee school of music? I imagine thats why they expect a certain amount of reciprocity, if they invest their time in you.This place has literally changed my life and my growth as a musician while giving me new opportunities in the community to play live. At least walk through the door and check the place out and take a few lessons before you rate a place 1 star and make derogatory statements about its instructors, please! If you want to have fun while learning properly, I promise you this is the place!
This is a fantastic academy with knowledgeable and kind instructors.
I placed a call here to get some quotes on some lessons, there was a lady that had an accent who answered my call. I asked if they offered 1 class per month for guitar, to which she said they do and gave me the prices for it which sounded reasonable, I know that taking more classes will be a better deal however, at the time of my call I only had time for one class, I asked if can schedule a time to come in because I was interested in taking classes, this is where i was very offended by how disrespectful, rude, and unprofessional this lady was. She asked me why do you only want to take one class? Can you not offord to take more classes, it kind of sounds like a waste of your time and ours I was a bit taken off by that comment but I thought maybe shes trying to look out for my best interest, I told her that I work full time, and going to school, but am really interested in picking up the guitar for a hobby to help me unwind, and what she said this time really took me over the top, her reply was judging by what youve told me, it doesnt sound like youre serious about the guitar and wouldnt actually practice, you dont sound dedicated enough. First and for most, what does it matter to you if I practice or not? If I pay for my lesson and dont practice, thats on me, your business has gotten paid, its like being at a restaurant and ordering a burger and the waitress telling you oh you dont seem hungry enough to eat a burger, another thing, what if someone really cant afford to take 4 classes per month? If you offer 1 class and clearly state that you do, why would you turn away business? And lastly, who are you tell someone you dont sound dedicated enough or serious about the guitar or any musical instrument for that matter? I am now taking private lessons 5 times a month and am gladly shedding out my money, guess I was passionate enough. If you want to be treated disrespectfully, this is the place for you.
Love this academy.
