Temecula Music Academy

Everyone is very friendly. Giti is very friendly. Naomi the piano teacher is very good. I would recommend this place.

I am a current student at Temecula Music, I love all the staff that put their time and effort to teach people how to play certain musical instruments (my paino teacher is Ms. Naomi)Here is a list of the staff and what they teach here at Temecula Music Academy

He started taking lessons at age 8, and continued studying privately and playing in the school orchestras and marching bands all the way through high school. Anthony began playing in rock bands in high school, and cut his first record when he was just 14. In 2006, Anthony attended the Percussion Institute of Technology (PIT) at the Musicians Institute in Los Angeles, where he received an Associate of Arts degree in Percussion Performance. Anthony continues to do freelance work as a live performer, studio musician, and instructor as well as playing in his two cover bands Master Splinter and the Shredders and Woody and the Harrelsons, and also teaches at the Temecula Music Academy.
