Musical Instruments & Teachers near Shoreline picked by BestProsInTown
“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!”
