 Verified My boy has been taking lessons at PMA since 2024 and he's learning and his instrumental skills improve so much. His drum teacher is Ardem and guitar teacher is Tracy. Both of Tracy and Ardem are the best, talented, patience, fun with kids and first time learners. My boy built up strong musical foundation thanks to them!

 Verified Only good things at PMA! My daughter began taking lessons in the late spring with Marcella and has made such tremendous progress, not only with her vocals but also stage presence and performance. A few weeks into lessons, Marcella recommended my daughter sign up for the recital. On the day of the recital our family was shocked at the progress made - she received a standing ovation! All thanks to Marcella! My daughter really enjoys having her as a vocal coach/instructor and looks forward to each session. She's patient, engaging and has built up my daughter's confidence, all while teaching technique, developing vocal skills.

The front desk at PMA are also incredibly helpful and easy to contact, whether by phone, text or email. I appreciate how easy it is to book makeup lessons and change schedules online. My daughter also enjoys seeing Marcella's feedback and thoughtful comments posted after each lesson.

 Verified We've had an amazing experience at PMA! Ardem has been an incredible drum teacher--patient, encouraging, and inspiring. Our son has grown so much as a drummer and genuinely looks forward to every lesson. We're grateful for everything Ardem and the PMA team have done and highly recommend them to anyone looking for great music instruction.

 Verified I started my daughter at PMA on the recommendation of a friend who is a musician, and we have been so happy with our experience there!  My daughter has been taking voice lessons with Ms. Kris for a few months now, and she absolutely loves them.  From the moment she walked out of her first lesson, my daughter was begging to keep taking lessons with her.  My daughter didn't even want to skip her lesson on her birthday, and that says a lot.  What more could you want as a parent?

 Verified My son LOVES his teacher, Daniel. He's a grumpy 13 year old boy, but he lights up when he sees Daniel. He's learning to love and enjoy Piano. This school is great at communication, scheduling make-ups, etc. We are very happy here.
