Pasadena Music Academy was created in 2011 and was formerly known as Modern Music School. The stated mission is to give students and their families a fun, safe, and supportive place within their community where they can build confidence and explore their own creativity through the joy of music. The academy describes its Level Up program as a structured, nationally recognized approach that uses certificates, wristbands, and stickers to track student growth from level 1 to 10, similar to belts in a martial arts program.
The teaching team is described as professional, talented, and active musicians who are also skilled educators, and the entire staff and faculty are background checked. More than 25 teachers are available, and lessons are tailored to each student’s goals and skill level. The school offers month-to-month lessons and month-to-month billing with no long-term commitments, unlimited make-up lessons with online rescheduling through a student portal, and professional office staff available seven days a week.
Pasadena Music Academy offers two recitals each year, usually held at Boston Court Pasadena, and describes these biannual recitals as performance opportunities. The facility includes a bright and cozy parent lounge with complimentary drinks, free Wi‑Fi, magazines, coloring materials, a massage pillow, and a charging station, along with plenty of free parking. Teaching rooms have security cameras with video footage stored for two months, an open door policy that allows parents to join their child’s lesson at any time, and observation windows in all rooms except drum rooms due to sound proofing.
The academy offers in-person and virtual free trial lessons, with a self-scheduling system and the option to schedule by email, call, or text. It also hosts an annual free picture day with a professional photographer where students can bring their instruments, and adult students are welcome. Pasadena Music Academy states that hundreds of local families have chosen the school for music education since 2011 and that it is a trusted music school with reviews on Google and Yelp.
