We joined in November and it has been great. My daughter wanted to take up Cello so we had to try this place out. It is very organized and well run. The staff is so nice and helpful. My daughter's instructor Nathan is awesome! Truly a nice and professional instructor. My daughter enjoys going to her lessons. The private rooms have large windows so you can see them practice. The lessons are progressive in nature and they even have the opportunity to perform once they are comfortable. This is a great little company that works locally with Milano instruments. A portion of you rental fee goes towards a purchase of the instrument. You can't beat that. The monthly rental is so worth the investment. I can't think of any con for this place.
Wonderful staff and customer service! They even helped my son fix his electric guitar. Highly recommend!!
I have known Carrie Lynn for three years as her student at Desert Ridge Music Academy and have nothing but positive experiences with her. Carrie Lynn is an excellent teacher who cares about her students. She takes time to get to know me, and she works on specific skills with me. I have grown tremendously as a musician with Carrie Lynn's help and know she will be an amazing music teacher for any student.
We have been part of this academy for over three years, and I have nothing but respect for the staff, teachers, and the entire community. My son is learning piano, and my daughter is learning violin. While my son has had some amazing teachers in the past, his current teacher, Ms. Carrie Lynn, is incredible, to say the least. She is incredibly caring and goes above and beyond to bring out the best in my son. During a casual conversation about piano opportunities, she took the initiative to introduce me and my son to the director of Young Sounds the very next day. She encouraged my son and me to visit the studio to experience the program firsthand, and he absolutely loved it. Now, he is practicing diligently to prepare for the upcoming auditions in May. If Ms. Lynn doesn’t have a student after his class, she generously spends an extra 10–15 minutes helping him prepare. We all love her, and we couldn’t have asked for a better piano teacher for our son!
Wanted to share my appreciation for this music school. Our trial session wasn’t “great” but I have no complaints. The young man that we got just wasn’t the right fit. We were then directed to Carrie Lynn. We’ve been with her ever since. She’s super patient, fun, and can be strict when needed… which I don’t mind at all. Sometimes my son needs to be corrected. She gives us full reports when the session is done and provides her email reports via email with fun links for review. I think what I like most is she finds ways to relate to my son which keeps is attention. My son is learning lots and is improving each session. Thanks Carrie Lynn!
