Has been an exceptional experience in every way with each of our teachers. The kids take multiple lessons with multiple instruments and the instruction is exceptional.
Highly recommend!My two sons 14 and 11 years old started a few months ago and I am in awe of how much they learned so far with only one 30min lesson a week. I also have them practice for 30 minutes a day the rest of the week.
Our son has been taking guitar lessons with Allen for a few years. He has been a patient and caring instructor, making the guitar a fun instrument to learn. He teaches a mix of both classical and modern techniques and music, mixing it up. We highly recommend this studio and Allen as an instructor.
Music Maker Workshops is the best! My son takes lessons for multiple instruments and loves the Rock 🎸 Band program. All of the instructors are great with kiddos, knowledgeable, and encouraging. If you are looking to begin music music lessons for yourself or your kiddos, this is the spot! 🎶

Thank you so much for your review Jennifer. I'm glad your son enjoys learning both classical and modern music. Allen does have that ability to keep things interesting. How amazing that your son has kept up with it over a few years! That's commitment.

Glad to hear that your son is enjoying his lessons—on multiple instruments!—and having a blast in our Rock Band program. Your kind words mean a lot. Thank you for recommending us to others—we love teaching music!

Both teachers have instilled a love of music in him and have helped him grow to reach his musical goals. They both take an interest in pulling him out of his shell and helping him to thrive musically. We could not be happier with our time here.
Ahh, thanks so much Erin! Ms. Andrea and Mr. Allen will be so encouraged to know they’ve helped inspire your son’s love of music and supported his growth—both musically and personally. We’ve also appreciated his help with sound and set-up at our Rock Band gigs and recitals—he’s such a reliable student! It’s been a joy to watch him come out of his shell and thrive, and we couldn’t be happier to be part of his journey. Thank you for being a valued part of our Music Maker family

My son Tarun has been taking classes at Music Makers with Mr. Allen for a while now. Including Rock Band. Mr. Allen has by far been the best instructor/musician for Tarun. Mr. Allen is incredibly patient but at the same time firm enough not to let him slack off and that is much appreciated. 😀 I would recommend him for anyone wanting to learn guitar. Thank you Mr. Allen
We’re thrilled to hear how much Tarun is enjoying his lessons and Rock Band with Mr. Allen. He is truly gifted at balancing patience, encouragement, and just the right amount of challenge, and it means a lot to know his teaching style has made such a positive impact. We appreciate your recommendation and are grateful to have Tarun as part of the studio. Thank you for sharing your experience
Music Maker Workshops is such a solid place to learn. The staff is friendly, the instructors know how to teach, and the whole studio has a really positive vibe. Lessons feel personalized and the variety of programs makes it easy to find what fits. I always walk out feeling like real progress was made.
Thank you so much JP! We are so happy that you've been enjoying your piano lessons. We've really enjoyed getting to know you over the past couple years. Can't wait to hear you at the recital!
Felt this was just a money making business machine. They have the most inflexible schedules and teachers. We really felt our son benefitted with a devoted teacher at another music school
Thank you for sharing your feedback. We appreciate your honesty and will use your comments to improve our scheduling and teacher approach. I’m sorry your son didn’t feel the experience was beneficial, and I hope he continues to enjoy music wherever he studies.
