“Fernando has been an amazing teacher to my 10 year-old son. In just 2 short years he's gone from basic scales and chords to full-blown compositions with high intensity and difficulty. He's always challenging my son and taking requests on the latest song he's interested in playing. Many have complimented my son on his playing and I love to see his progression over time. Any scheduling issues have been easy to resolve with Fernando and we would love to continue with him as long as we can.“

“My son (who is elementary school-aged) has been taking drumming lessons at Poway Music Academy with Emmanuel for a few years now, and we highly recommend music lessons here! Emmanuel teaches various instruments to both adults and children, and he is very kind and so great in teaching and encouraging my son during lessons. Wile Emmanuel will choose certain songs and beats for learning purposes, he also allows my son to choose songs he wants to learn, and Emmanuel will even write out the music for the song if he doesn't already have it. Emmanuel is an amazing teacher and musician and because he can play multiple instruments, he will often play guitar along with a song my son is learning, which is not only a lot of fun for my son but helps with his drumming. If you are looking for drumming or guitar lessons, this is the place to go to!“
