What Parents and Students Are Saying
We are having a wonderful experience at Altadena Academy of Music. My son started playing the piano last summer with Drew and has learned very quickly and easily. He happily plays at home daily. We couldn’t be more pleased!
Our piano instructor, Ms. Valerie, was able to bring our children back into a positive music learning mind set after a long break due to COVID-19. She is patient, but exacting in a positive way that helps to build their confidence.
Great teachers and just a wonderful environment. My son takes piano lessons here and loves it. Their recitals are also a perfect way for music students to learn to enjoy of performing live.
I love this school. I take piano lessons with Tyson and he is incredible. He is professional and has an impressive patience and ability to get through my lack of musical knowledge and still help me to learn and have fun while doing it.
Altadena Academy of Music is a great music school in the Altadena/Pasadena area! Nice space, family run, with many highly qualified teachers. We found the school looking for piano lessons and are so happy with our daughter’s piano teacher.
They teach all instruments and all the instructors are really positive and patient. It’s a great environment to introduce kids to music and for adults to feel comfortable taking up an instrument later in life. Highly recommend to all!
