Musical Instruments And Teachers near Shoreline

“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.“

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

“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!“

“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!!!“

“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!“

“I’m currently taking group beginner guitar lessons with Carrie and absolutely loving it! Her teaching style is inclusive, relaxed, and creates a safe, supportive environment for everyone. The lessons are fun and engaging, with great songs and exercises that keep us motivated and learning. The school itself has a really welcoming vibe too. Highly recommend—thanks, Carrie!“

“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!“

“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!“

“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!“

“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.“

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.“
