INTERESTED TO LEARN MORE?

The best way to learn more about our school is to schedule a FREE trial lesson. This way you get to see our school, meet your teacher and ask any questions you might have. The trial lesson is free of charge and no strings attached! (pun intended)

We believe it is very important for our students to feel comfortable and to have a connection with their teacher. The only way to really know if a teacher is a great fit for your child (or yourself if you are taking lessons) is to try out a lesson. When our students come out of their trial lesson, they feel excited and ready to get started. However, if you feel the teacher wasn’t the best match, you can try out another lesson with a different teacher. With more than 25 teachers, we know we will be able to find the perfect teacher for you.

We offer in-person and virtual trial lessons.

If one of the following applies, it might be easier to contact us via email, call or text instead of using our self scheduling system:

  • You are not able to find a convenient time using our self scheduling system
  • You would like to schedule lessons for your children or multiple family members at the same time or back-to-back
  • You prefer contact us instead of using our self scheduling system

If this applies to you, please contact us and we will take care of everything for you.  It is our pleasure to help you schedule the most convenient lesson times for you and your family.

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!

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.

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.

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?

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.

I have 2 daughters enrolled for private lessons at Pasadena Music Academy. They both look forward to their weekly lessons and enjoy learning their instruments. One is enrolled in drum lessons with Dan. He is very encouraging and has helped understand the concepts drumming and she is making wonderful progress. The other is enrolled in flute lessons with Elizabeth. She has picked it quite well and Elizabeth is very patient and provides wonderful feedback.

We’ve had such a wonderful experience at this music school! Both of my boys really enjoyed their lessons, and we were very happy with their teachers, Ms. Elizabeth and Ms. Jessica. Ms. Elizabeth is very patient, attentive, and encouraging. She always made my son feel comfortable and helped him stay engaged and confident during his lessons. Ms. Jessica is warm, kind, and encouraging, and she made learning music fun and enjoyable for my other son. He always looked forward to his lessons with her. We’re taking a break for now because of our boys’ busy school and extracurricular schedules, but we’re truly grateful for the wonderful experience they had here. We would definitely recommend this school and both teachers to other families! ❤️

My daughter has been taking drum lessons for 3 months now and it's been amazing. Her primary teacher is Lucas but she has had a substitute when he's not available. School is very communicative and detailed with changes; how long and what options we have. The front desk staff are helpful with making schedule adjustments since the website isn't as easy to navigate; you have to actively commit to canceling a class before you can reschedule. Overall, great school for kids wanting to get introduced to playing musical instruments.

PMA has been excellent for my 5 year old who is taking drum lessons. Its a very professional, yet relaxed and friendly environment. The front of house is very organized and friendly as well. Gibb is our son's instructor and he has been so good at working with a 5 year old. He makes the lessons kid friendly and interesting, and knows how to keep his attention which can be hard with such a young child. I would highly recommend.
