What families say

“I started drum lessons 3 years ago at age 57. My teacher Chris has incredible patience and knows exactly how much and how fast to advance my skills. The entire ASOM family is the absolute best!!!” — Jeu Foon, San Marino

“My daughter and I have attended the preschool music class at ASOM for the last year. She is constantly singing around the house and asking me when she will get to see her teacher again. She loves her classes.” — Carol Lawrence, South Pasadena

“I can honestly say I have learned more in six months of guitar lessons than I did in six years of trying to teach myself. My teacher is a true professional and I highly recommend ASOM to everyone.” — Robert Gonzalez, Monterey Park
