Musical Instruments And Teachers near Kenmore

“Teacher Paul is fantastic for preschooler piano lessons! He is so kind and patient with our 5 year old (started when he was just 4 1/2 years old) and it's clear he's incredibly talented. He brings stickers and hand draws the music to customize songs so my son can learn familiar songs that he loves. Paul exceeded our expectations!“

“My son has been taking piano lessons here for over two years. The music teachers are very patient and highly experienced.“

“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!“

“The teachers are great ! And my toddler has made a lot of progress in her coordination ? Miss Aimee is the best !“

“As a young adult learning guitar, Sound Music School has been so worth it!! My instructor Ben immediately understood my goals, and he always breaks down concepts in a way that feels approachable, exciting to practice, and creative. I feel so much more confident with music thanks to him. The owner Mike is also super quick to respond to any email. Highly recommend!!!“

“My daughter has been taking piano lessons over two years now. Teacher Kim is so patient and make piano lessons exciting and effective. She is very accommodating for schedule changes and making the piano lessons fun for my daughter to keep learning. I highly recommend Teacher Kim’s Quality Piano Lessons to anyone who wants to learn Piano!“

“Brian has been a wonderful teacher to my son Owen who is 10. He frequently finds songs that are fun to play while also progressively introducing new concepts.

I also take lessons from Brian and he is able to tailor music to engage adult students as well.“

“Sten breathed new life into my viola that was in pretty rough shape after being stored poorly for 15 years. It’s never sounded better!“

“Both of my kids have been learning ukulele at Rockery Music School and are now attending their summer camp—and it has been a fantastic experience! They’re having so much fun while genuinely learning and growing in their musical skills.

The teachers clearly love music, and that passion is contagious—it’s made a big impression on my kids. The staff is incredibly patient and caring, creating an environment where children feel encouraged and inspired. Their teaching approach is playful yet effective, blending creativity with solid musical foundations.

Highly recommend Rockery to any family looking to introduce their kids to music in a joyful, supportive setting!“

“I was overseeing an event that featured the Bach to Rock students. Just wow. First off, the team is freakin' amazing. They put together a first class space to showcase the kids' talents. The sound, white tables with roses, and the gear for the kiddos to plug in and perform. Sorry, back to the team. I had a chance to meet Melissa, Hansen, Reign (spelling sorry). They really know the kids and bring out their strengths.
Whoever is teaching drums ?? Dude, the kids on there were amazing.
It really shows in their confidence and excitement. I did not have music lessons that brought me performance levels at age 5. I also rarely saw young bands playing together this age.
Great school if your child is looking to grow their music skills.“

“Miss Tedy has been teaching my daughters piano for the last five years and she is absolutely wonderful! Their piano skills and their love of music and piano have grown under Miss Tedy’s measured and loving eye—we could not ask for a better piano teacher!!! My husband also took lessons for three years before work obligations got in the way and Miss Tedy was equally wonderful with a completely novice adult learner!“

“My son (11) wanted to try drumming out as a complete novice from a family of non-musicians. We were very fortunate to find Esteban. He takes a structured, patient approach and works with each kid to their abilities. Highly recommend for first timers or more experienced drummers.“

“This guitar center is very amazing, the staff are very polite and knowledgable and they will help you find exactly what you are looking for or answer any questions you wanna know precisely. Been coming to this location for nearly a year and definitely the best location i have been to of many!!“

“I love working with Arturo and his techniques have helped me improve my drumming. Practice, practice, practice! He has taught me so much about many styles of Cuban drumming and with over 30 years of experience, he has so much more to offer. Also, he has helped with singing and dancing too, as they are also essential elements.“

“Amazing!

A grifted Musician.Plus the Sunday Very Stern Method is a class all must try.“

“My daughter has been taking lessons at OTW for a year and loves it. She started when she was only four and has learned so much. Has been a really great experience for us.“

“My children both take lessons here. The staff and instructors are friendly and helpful.“

“My son (who was 6.5) developed so much joy playing piano under Benjamin’s teaching and my son loves to practice piano on his own without being told. Benjamin connects well with my son as he can be humorous. He is also flexible with siblings coming along during lessons. We started during the pandemic, just when things started returning in person and the transition was smooth. The recital part was also very enjoyable and made my son felt proud of his first recital.“

“Kellye is wonderful with my daughter - very patient and adapts to her needs! My daughter has learned a lot in 1 year and really enjoys her lessons!“

“Patient, understanding, knowledgeable, talented, conscientious and fun all describe Andrew. He has been teaching drumming to our severely disabled son and it is one of the most successful experiences for our son and our family as a whole. We all learn about music through Andrew's enthusiasm and knowledge of music theory and practice. Andrew is a pleasure to work with and we highly recommend him.“

“We are deeply grateful for the wonderfully professional rehearsal you organized for our children. Your dedication and expertise truly shine through in your teaching, and it's evident how much you value and nurture our kids' musical growth. We are especially delighted that Diana has had the opportunity to be part of your class. Thank you so much for everything you do.“

“If you want to craft a personal journey to playing the piano, this is the place to go! Jeff has been accommodating to my schedule, interested in what I enjoy, and both patient and challenging in his instruction. I was very intimidated attempting to learn the piano at an advanced age (64) and he has given me confidence and structure which has led me to sight reading and improvisation. I can wholeheartedly recommend Jeff!“

“Excellent piano teacher, covers theory, practice, and performance, really concerning with even my youngest daughter starting at 5 years old! Makes learning piano a joy for young kids!“
