Carmel Music Academy

"I recently took voice lessons at Carmel Music Academy before my sister’s wedding, and unfortunately, I was not impressed with my experience. While the instructors were knowledgeable, they lacked the enthusiasm and energy I hoped for. I often felt like I was just going through the motions of the lesson rather than learning and growing as a vocalist. In addition to this, I had several payment issues that left me feeling frustrated and stressed out. The billing system seemed disorganized, and I was unsure if my payments had gone through correctly. I had to spend a lot of time following up with the staff to ensure everything was in order, which was a significant inconvenience. Overall, I would only give Carmel Music Academy a 2 out of 5 stars. At the same time, they have some decent instructors, but the lack of energy and enthusiasm and the payment problems made for a less-than-stellar experience."

"I am a voice and guitar teacher at Carmel Misic academy. What I like most about this school is that their focus is on ear training. This not only opens the realm to play music there is not sheet music for, but teaches how to learn more songs at a faster pace. In the music world today rarely anyone writes down their music unless broadway or musicals. Not only so, but ear training opens more doors and opportunities for students in the real world. If one were to get a call for an audition and only have a week or even a few days they would be able to listen to it and learn it the day of. I have a friend who played piano for a song of mine I wrote who uses his ear for everything. He was able to pick most of it up instantly simply through listening to it. He can also have a key picked out of a hat and play any song in that key instantly because he has trained his ear so well."

"My son and I both love Carmel Music Academy. He plays violin and guitar, and I take voice and dabble in piano. The teachers are always helpful and allow you to work on songs that you love. Jon E Gee is a true music man and bright spirit who loves to pass the magic of music on to his students."

"My son takes guitar from Erich and he has been so amazing for our boy. They have similar music interests and share a love and passion for music, so he has inspired him to practice and get better. The owner is so kind and he genuinely cares about the kids and their musical education. I can’t recommend this school enough!"

"Our son loves to learn music in a very fun, engaging and personalized way. He is being taught to primarily use his sense of sound to learn how to play piano and I find that so much more applicable to a 5 year old. Although we understand reading music is also important, he quickly corrects himself almost instantly based on hearing the notes. He is also being taught his favorite song by a rock band and I find that to be an excellent way to get kids to retain the teachings and stay interested in learning more. He looks forward to his lessons each week and I am so happy we signed him up."
