Singing With Sherry

1230 E Villa St, Pasadena

Fri 9AM - 8:30PM

“If you're looking to improve at singing while enjoying the whole process I HIGHLY recommend taking lessons from Sherry!! I started taking lessons with Sherry with no prior singing experience and had no idea what to expect. Over the past few weeks I've thoroughly enjoyed each and every lesson to the fullest and have noticed drastic improvements within a short time period (my highest note went from E5 to C6 in 6 weeks!). She's very good at explaining the mechanics and nuances of proper singing technique and is able to consistently point me in the right direction while creating a safe space for me to feel comfortable enough to explore my voice. Starting to take lessons with Sherry has been one of the best decisions I've ever made! Singing is so fun :)”

Silver Echo Guitar Lessons

1109 Allen Ave, Pasadena

Fri 12 - 5PM

“I highly recommend Silver Echo! Our son has been taking guitar lessons with Sean for 7 years. He has learned so much and has continued to grow both technically and in his appreciation for music. He always looks forward to his lesson, it is one of highlights of his week. He has been able to meet our son where he is at over these years, from total beginner to seasoned teenager. Truly a great teacher!”

Pasadena Conservatory of Music

100 North Hill Avenue, Pasadena

“A truly dedicated venue (as opposed to casual mom n me classes) for learning and appreciating music. The overall experience was a step up from other local programs.

However, for children closer to the 3 and a half year old range, in our experience one teacher was a total miss (summer 2026)…

While enthusiastic (but almost aggressively so), she had a very low threshold/low frustration tolerance if a child got off track in the slightest way. She would promptly single them out and suggest they sit in the “viewing area” (aka time out), effectively shaming the child and their parent by highlighting their inattentiveness etc.

She may be a school teacher suitable for older kids, but also had an outdated style of “managing” behavior which is not her domain in a music class, so long as the child is not majorly disrupting or in some way hurting others. I would also say she (not surprisingly) would play music too loudly and then claim some children are just more sensitive to noise. Way too brusque too be teaching 3.5 year olds!

Our care provider (who was a former preschool director) also made the same observations about this teacher that I had as a parent. Thank goodness this teacher left for vacation and her substitute was day/night more suitable for younger kids. So the experience is very teacher dependent too.”
