From the reviews
My daughter and I go to the piano and guitar lessons in Irvine Academy of Music, we love this place! Teachers are great, very professional and really know their job. My daughter had several years of piano lessons experience at different places, and Irvine Academy is the right place to continue music education.
We were looking for a Viola to rent for our son’s music class and we did not know where to start. I tried calling one music store but I was sent to a voice mailbox that was not set up. Irvine Academy was next on our list.
I bring my son here for drum lessons. The lady that manages the front desk is always so pleasant. My son loves his drum teacher and actually practices now. He performed live in their recital this past May. The recital turned out awesome. I have to say even I was impressed that he (my son) could perform in public!
This place is fantastic. I haven't played in 20 years. I called a few places in town. I visited a couple places, but when I came here they made me feel right at home. My teacher is knowledgeable and makes the lessons about what I want to learn. Great prices, expert teacher, and really nice person at the front desk.
Lessons at Irvine Academy of Music
Reviews and the store's own info mention lessons at Irvine Academy of Music. If you're signing up a beginner (or restarting yourself), a quick call ahead answers the three things that matter: which instruments they teach, whether the schedule has openings at the time you actually need, and what a first lesson costs. There's no wrong first guitar — a good teacher will happily work with whatever you walk in with, and a shop that teaches usually keeps affordable starter instruments and rentals on hand for exactly this reason.
