I cannot recommend West Coast Music Academy school highly enough! The instruction is top-notch, and the atmosphere is both welcoming and inspiring. Judy, the piano/voice teacher, is truly exceptional. Her passion for music and teaching shines through in every lesson. She is patient, encouraging, and has a unique ability to connect with her students, making learning both fun and highly effective.
Equally impressive is Hayley, the office manager. She is incredibly organized and always goes above and beyond to ensure everything runs smoothly. Hayley is friendly and approachable, making the administrative side of things completely stress-free.
The recitals are the most fun! You can see the excitement and joy in every students performance. This music school is truly a gem and I am so happy to have found it for my daughter.

Our daughter has been taking a variety of lessons for nearly 2 years, from piano to ukulele to voice. Every teacher has been great, especially Mr. Frank.
They all work with your child at their level, whether it's their first time taking a lesson or they've been doing it for a long time.
This has been a great school for our daughter to try out new things and new instruments and to get instruction that works for her.
I would highly recommend WCMA to anyone looking for music lessons of any kind. Miss Haleigh (the manager) is amazing!

Our daughter has been taking piano, voice and choir lessons at WCMA for over 2 years now. She loves it! We love it! The instructors and administration staff are extremely talented, professional, kind and caring. I'd highly recommend it and have done so many times. Friends that have been referred have had the same great experience.

We have attended West Coast Academy for almost 7 years. Both my daughters learned how to play piano. My oldest daughter also learned how to play guitar and my youngest was part of the choir recital with Ms. Andrea. I love that we have an option to have zoom classes if we cant make it into the studio.
In the past, the academy had an awesome summer camp where the kids were introduced to different instruments.
Everyone at West Coast Academy has been professional and welcoming with our family. You truly feel like family when you walk in. The front desk staff always welcomes my daughter by name. My daughters enjoyed receiving certificates and trophies as they met goals. They also looked forward to shining at recitals. Its been a great experience!

My child has progressed so much since taking lessons here. The office staff is super helpful with rescheduling or upcoming recitals. The teacher is incredibly nice and encourages my child to practice and has incorporated fun techniques into her lessons. The lobby is always stocked with coffee and magazines to sit and relax while you listen as your child plays music. The prices are very reasonable, as they include trophies and a reward system and certificates. Overall great school with friendly staff.

West Coast Music Academy is great. The staff is really welcoming and helpful. They offer one-on-one tours of the school for first time visitors, and take the time to answers all your questions and address any of your concerns. The teachers there are all highly trained professional musicians and super friendly and supportive. (This was really evident when I attended their bi-annual recital as well as their rock concert a couple of months ago. The kids who performed were really prepared, excited -- and knocked it out of the ball park.) I recommend WCMA for music lessons to anyone who asks.

West Coast Music Academy is the best music school in Santa Clarita! All of the teachers here are educated, engaging, and extremely friendly. The school is clean, professional, safe, and the staff is both helpful and understanding. They teach a variety of instruments, and really care about your learning experience. But not only do they provide music lessons, they also provide performance opportunities with recitals and rock concerts twice a year. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone that is interested in taking music lessons. Five stars!
