Here are what some of our students and parents have to say about our music lessons.

(from our Google & Facebook reviews)

I have been learning guitar with Joni at Melody Music Academy for almost four years. After many, many years taking my children to music lessons it was time to indulge my lifetime desire to learn guitar.
It can be intimidating as an adult to begin at the very beginning but Joni is instinctive and intuitive and the lessons calming, therapeutic and fun. Joni is so accomplished in every style of music and many instruments.

Janet Taylor Guitar student

Both Linda and Joni are very patient and encouraging. Wonderful teachers. I have recommended them to other parents.

June LeParent (piano)

My son started guitar lessons in February this year from scratch. It is now September and he has already moved on to Preliminary grade work. John is a fantastic music teacher, it is clear that he is very very experienced as his teaching strategies are very precise considering my son is quite young. He engages and motivates my son without any pressure which has made my son really love his guitar lessons. John is also very organised and on top of things. His services are very professional and great value i am very satisfied with our time here. I highly recommed this music studio.

I started learning violin with Joni in July 2015. As an adult with no prior music abilities, I find Joni to be an excellent teacher. He is very attentive, and there is purpose behind every exercise. The lessons are very enjoyable, relaxing, and fun. I’m looking forward to many more lessons and continuing my progress. I would not hesitate to recommend Melody Music Academy. Thanks to Joni, I now consider myself a musician!

I have been learning piano here for years and it has been excellent. Linda has been a very helpful and attentive teacher who has taught me so much. I would highly recommend!

Sophia StefoulisPiano student

I rang Melody Music Academy nearly one year ago seeking a guitar teacher. I am an adult and my chosen instrument for many years was the piano. When I spoke with John Park, the director of the Academy, I told him that I wanted to expand my music horizon and learn the guitar. Immediately we were able to establish a rapport and John impressed me with his vast music knowledge and ability to understand what my needs were.

After experiencing the set up and the quality of the tutoring at the Academy, I enrolled my son to study bass guitar with Linda, another great teacher at the Academy. Recently, my daughter enrolled to renew her love of the piano and she finds John an exceptional teacher.

After almost 1 year of my musical journey, I could not be happier. John has not only proven to be a great guitar mentor, he has helped me develop other areas of interest that I have, such as song writing. I would not hesitate in recommending Melody Music Academy to students of any age.

John TabarParent & student (guitar, piano & bass guitar)

My children have been attending Melody Music Academy for almost two years. John is a dedicated, thorough and attentive teacher. John’s teaching methods have helped to significantly improve my kids ability to play their chosen instruments. I am pleased with their progress and will not hesitate to recommend Melody Music Academy to anyone who is interested in learning an instrument.

Soo Hyun TrinhParent (violin)

I started learning piano this year with John at melody music academy and im so happy !! John is extremely understanding and delivers the best quality lessons . Every time I leave a lesson , I always feel like I’m improving and growing , and even outside of lessons John is always providing me with the best training books / music to help me grow as a musician . I didn’t think I would already be reading music , and we also have a great relationship as well . If there’s something I’m struggling with , John always provides me with extra activities to do at home , and it feels great knowing not only have I achieved so much in a short time .. but I also have a great teacher to help me reach all my music goals ! Thanks John and melody music. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a great teacher and music school 🙂 ! 🎶

Jonathan VizzaPiano student

My daughter has been learning Piano and Violin at Melody Music Academy for 7 years now. She enjoys the learning process and both teachers are so nice and helpful. I am also very pleased with her progress.

Peter ZhouParent (Piano and violin)

I have been talking piano lessons with Joni for the last 3 years. He is an excellent teacher with great knowledge about lots of different types of music, and creates a really relaxed atmosphere to learn in. I started taking lessons as an adult only able to read music, but was able to make solid progress. Joni combines both exercises that really improve your technique and the freedom to explore whatever types of music you want to play as well as the theory behind it. Highly recommended!

Sean McKenziePiano student

John is an excellent patient teacher suitable for all ages. Thank you for your help these years!

Raymond ChenPiano and composition student
My daughters have been going there for over seven years now and have progressed very well. The teachers are dedicated and very professional not only in how they teach but also how they run their music studio. The studio is immaculate and the environment comfortable and safe.
Would highly recommend Melody Music to any parent wishing their children to learn an instrument.

Carmela MauroParent (violin)

I have trained with Joni for the past 9 years and have loved every moment of developing my guitar skills under his guidance. I strongly recommend any future student to consider Melody Music Academy as they will not only rapidly increase their music skills but also enjoy the process. Learning guitar and music is easy with Melody Music Academy.

Luke S-ChafeiGuitar student

My kids have been taking music lessons from Linda and John for a few years now. They are both patient and talented teachers. My kids have progressed wonderfully under their tutelage.

Jacqui DjordjevicParent (Piano, violin and guitar)

John is a great music teacher, being very skilled, inspirational and supportive to me as a mature aged beginner with no background to piano or reading music. I have always wanted to play piano so I am very happy to learn in a quality environment.
The Melody Music Academy provides expert teachers within excellent learning facilities and wonderful instruments.
Learning to play piano at the Melody Music Academy is fun and its is a real pleasure to play quality instruments, learn and to accomplish new piano skills.

Sandra BerghoferPiano student

My son has leaned the piano and violin at the Melody Music school from last year. He is happy to come to the music lessons with the teachers and feels exiting with the annual students’ music concert. The teachers are patient and provide the feedback to parents after each lesson. I strongly recommend this music school to the young learners!

YUBIAO WENGParent (Piano and violin)
Started playing two years ago as an adult piano learner. Joni knows his craft! Would highly recommend him! He’s a great listener and considerate musician in his own right! Trust the process, if your an adult thinking of picking up a music instrument it’ll do wonders for you, I know because it calms me and I really appreciate music on the radio even more because if it…
Singing and play piano is quite a challenge, now I am my own personal Choir thanks to Joni and of course the work you yourself put into it. If you can sneak an hour or two a day watching TV or playing video games you certainly can play a few chords in your own time 🙂 Take the jump!
