The lessons are engaging and well-structured, and the positive atmosphere makes learning enjoyable. Highly recommend!“

“Derek is a great drum teacher, we are so grateful for his calm & kind demeanor. His attention to detail in drumming is very appreciated!“

“We were visiting Seattle from Tampa, FL and my teenage son was missing his violin, hasn't played it a couple of days. This was the only violin shop within 60 miles open on a Sunday. We stopped by with the intention of buying maybe some accessories in hopes of my son being able to play for a few minutes but Mr. Olson pulled 3 violins down from the wall and let him play for 20 minutes without needing to make a purchase. Overall his shop is filled with great instruments and a wonderful family business!“

“Great store!

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

“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.“

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

“The teacher is so kind and truly tailors each lesson to make it fun and engaging for the child. From the very first day, my child absolutely loved it and showed so much interest! The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, and the program is well organized that you can really feel how much they care about the kids. I originally came just to accompany my child’s lesson, but it made me want to learn too! I’m so happy to have found such a warm, genuine place with a wonderful teacher who really knows how to inspire and teach!“

“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!“

“Wow fun atmosphere learned fast and he gives lots of positive feed back and still is tough great time learning“

“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.“
