ABOUT PASADENA MUSIC ACADEMY
PASADENA MUSIC ACADEMY (formerly Modern Music School) was created in 2011 to give students and their families a fun, safe, and supportive place within their community where they could build confidence and explore their own creativity through the joy of music.
With over 1000 students, we believe our success stems from the amazing community we’ve built here. Our team works hard everyday to create a supportive and energetic environment where students are excited to arrive and learn something new.
Currently, we offer private music lessons to students of all ages and experience levels in piano, guitar, voice, drums, bass, DJ, music production, ukulele, violin, viola, trombone, saxophone, trumpet, flute, clarinet and early childhood music classes.
Join our amazing community today and discover new inspiration and a passion for making music that will last a lifetime.
Why Choose Pasadena Music Academy?
Teachers Who Inspire Growth
Our school is built on a team of professional musicians who are equally dedicated to teaching and music. Each lesson is designed to meet the student where they are in life and nurture their passion for music. With instruction available in piano, guitar, drums, voice, strings, winds, and music production, we offer a comprehensive range of opportunities under one roof.
A Rewarding Path to Progress
Music lessons become even more exciting when progress is recognized. Our optional Level Up program gives students clear goals to work toward and celebrates each milestone with stickers, certificates, and wristbands. This structure keeps practice fun and maintains high motivation.
Flexibility for Busy Families
We understand schedules change, which is why we offer unlimited make-up lessons. Reschedule easily online or contact our staff for help–we ensure that no student ever misses out on learning.
Annual Student Showcase Events
At Pasadena Music Academy, we host two recital opportunities each year, typically at the magnificent Boston Court Pasadena venue. These performances serve as motivational goals for students, providing a stage to showcase their musical achievements to loved ones.
A Welcoming Environment
Our school is designed with families in mind. Parents can enjoy free Wi-Fi, coffee, tea, water, magazines, coloring books, charging stations, and even a massage pillow while they wait. Parking is always free and conveniently located right in front of our building.
Support You Can Count On 7 Days a Week
Our friendly office team is available seven days a week to answer questions, help with scheduling, and ensure everything runs smoothly for your family.
