“I'm late writing this review, because I have had tennis elbow which descended on my while my guitar was being restrung and revamped at Village Music a couple of months ago. I haven't been able to try it until now. I love it. And what a great experience. Fully recommend. Thanks.”
“I just finished 5 months of voice lessons here as a complete beginner, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. My initial goal was simply to enjoy singing more in the car, on road trips, or in the shower—but with Aaron as my instructor, I not only met that goal, I now feel confident singing at public karaoke!
Aaron was fantastic at blending vocal education with practice. Every lesson combined clear explanations of singing concepts, warmups, and targeted exercises, along with constructive feedback. What stood out was his ability to not just point out differences between my voice and the original vocalist, but also explain how to get closer—linking specific adjustments back to the concepts he had taught me. That framework gave me tools I can use well beyond the songs we worked on together, and it made the progress both rewarding and practical.
The entire academy has been a joy to work with. The admin staff are friendly and helpful, scheduling is easy, parking nearby is free and stress-free, and the lesson costs are very reasonable given the value I’ve gained.
As an adult taking on a new passion, these lessons have added real meaning and joy to my daily routine. I highly recommend Ballard Academy of Music and Dance, and especially Aaron, to anyone considering voice lessons!”
“Stopped in to take a gander at the guitars. Nice shop with a helpful staff.
Thanks again for helping us find a new guitar!”
