I totally recommend this music school! It’s got such a young, vibrant energy, and the teachers are incredibly talented and just all-around great people. They’re really skilled but also so down-to-earth, which makes learning so much more enjoyable. And on top of that, the pricing is super fair. If you’re looking for a place to grow musically without breaking the bank, this is definitely the spot!

I started taking lessons at New West Music a couple of months ago and I'm joyful with my experience. The staff are warm and passionate about music and their craft. They are great communicators and upfront about the policies and agreement. They have a wonderful environment to learn which helped with my confidence to sing. Miss. Olivia is very patient, positive, and encouraging during voice and singing lessons. I think she's a wonderful teacher. Overall, I'm quite happy and I highly recommend others to try New West Music. 🎶

Highly recommended New West Music.

My daughter (at that time was 7 years old) used to have piano lessons at community center and after 6 months. She lost interest to continue learning. Don’t know what was wrong or happened there…. Therefore we stopped her lessons. for few months.

I start searching for music schools again cause my 7 years son wanted to learn ukulele. We have trial lesson both for my son and my daughter. They both want to continue and I am so glad this school’s instructor help they make learning Music fun again.

As a parent to be honest. I choose community center at the beginning main thinking it’s the most affordable place. But New West Music really only a few bucks more per lesson, and they reschedule system is fun more flexible. Every time I have inquiries by email. I always get an email back within two days.

They really DO have great music teachers!!!
