Musical Instruments And Teachers near Bainbridge Island

“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!“

“Teacher Rick is such a great, professional drum teacher.My 2 boys love coming here for their practices.“

“Seattle's premiere piano craftsman. Don't mess around, have Doug do it. Steinways a specialty.“

“I can't stress enough how wonderful West Side Music Academy is. My son has been taking piano lessons with Cheli for about a year, and he always looks forward to seeing her. He bounced a bit between wanting to do voice lessons or piano lessons or both, and she was completely understanding and didn't pressure him. She is always so calm and my son loves her sense of humor. It has been so fun seeing his progression with the piano - it's crazy how much he learned in just a year.

Adriane at the front desk is a sweetheart and is always welcoming and kind. We are taking a break from lessons (stupid Covid19) - but he still practices every day. We miss you guys and can't wait to see you again!“

“This is a really great music instruction facility with a variety of experienced and seasoned teachers. Comfortable clean surroundings, an easily accessible parking lot and peaceful environment are a few benefits of learning music here.“

“Sam is a great drum instructor. He's been teaching our 7 year old son and I'm amazed at his patience and the innovative ways he keeps our son engaged and motivated - and over Zoom no less.“
