We've heard positive things about this studio from multiple people and decided to try it out. I'm so glad we did - this studio is absolutely wonderful. We've had such positive experiences with the teachers, and the owner, Saousan, is extremely sweet and accommodating. I've thrown quite a few curveballs her way with our tight schedule and unique circumstances, and she has helped us figure it out every single time. Makeup classes are easy to schedule. The teachers are friendly and supportive, and my children look forward to their classes every week (voice and piano).

Musika is a great studio! The studio and Ms. Saousan are always very professional, kind, and very accommodating to everyone's schedule! The communication is clear with emails and reminders. They have also worked with me several times as our schedule has changed due to other commitments that come up and we have had no issues making up or rescheduling times. My daughter has certainly made progress in her voice lessons since she started (maybe a year and a half to two years now). Ms. Melody has done a great job in educating her, challenging her and increasing her confidence! You can tell she really takes an interest and cares for her students! My daughter now does voice and started piano and always looks forward to her weekly lessons. Her instructor has been such a great mentor for her and has helped my daughter progress her singing capabilities in specific theatre roles. The instructors make the children feel comfortable and help them celebrate small successes. It is important to find a teacher whose style works best with your child as every child is and learns differently. So you may need to experiment a little in the beginning. I appreciate the instructor feedback at the end of the session along with what the child should be practicing at home. The recitals are also a wonderful way for parents to see the progress and for the child to exhibit their skills! The only suggested improvement I would have is to have an online platform/app to be able to cancel & reschedule via self service rather than calling/emailing the studio (when needed). But that's not a game changer at all! I can't say enough great things about Musika! We've recommended this place to so many folks. It's also great to see other students from our school and neighborhood kids taking lessons here! So if you're on the fence, don't hesitate to try this local studio!

We love Musika Studio! It is a wonderful place to learn an instrument or take voice lessons for kids and adults. Our child takes voice lessons with Ms. Leah, and has learned and grown so much as a singer. Ms Leah and all the teachers we have seen at recitals are true professionals. Our child is learning more about her voice, building confidence through performing and strengthening her skills as a singer with fun and challenging lessons each week. We like this studio so much we added a second class. They offer group choir for children. Now our child is learning to sing in a group, harmonize and working for solos. We love everything about it. There are multiple recital opportunities each year, so we can hear what our child is working on as well as see what others are learning. There is something for everyone at Musika. Children and adults of all skill levels or just beginning can learn piano, guitar, ukulele, voice and more. Musika Studio is owned and run by a musician who truly loves teaching and sharing music with everyone. It's the best place we have taken our children for music!

My 6 year old child has been going to Ms. Saousan's group piano lesson for about a year now, and we are so happy here! Including my child, there are 4 kids in the group lesson, and I feel like it is a great size for kids at that age. They meet once a week for 45 minutes. I sit in the class often and gets to see how Ms. S teaches the little ones and amazed at her patience and skills to keep the little ones' attention. Ms. S has been also generous at allowing makeup lessons when we were out of town and missed classes. My child learned so much over the year and participated in the studio's recitals, which was really exciting. All the staff and teachers at the studio are very friendly and warm. Thank you, Ms. Saousan and everyone at the Musika studio for making piano lessons fun and encouraging!

We love Musika Studio! My two daughters (5 and 7) started piano lessons at Musika almost a year ago and they are still excited every week for their lessons! They love their instructor, Ms. Melody, who keeps lessons and songs fun and exciting! She gives great feedback after each lesson how they can improve and what their homework is. Saousan does an amazing job running the studio with wonderful staff and makes holidays and recitals so special for the kids! We can't recommend Musika enough!

My daughter started learning the ukulele with teacher Tim at Musika Studio in June 2021 and has learned so much! Owner Saousan is very helpful and flexible when we need to do make up lessons. Tim and all the other teachers (Eric and Melody) are very professional, patient and make learning music fun. My daughter has gained so much confidence in learning an instrument, and has even performed at her school talent show. We're so glad we found Musika Studio and would highly recommend it to any parent!

When I was looking for a place for my son to learn how to play the guitar , I never thought we could find musical heaven. Musika studio has been an amazing experience . Saousan and her team are not only excellent Instructors but also very caring people. Justin our guitar instructor has been great , he made my son overcome his fear of not "playing well" , he's now very confident playing the guitar. Justin keep lessons very interactive and he's fully engaged during lessons. We did both live and zoom lessons and the quality of instruction is always high. Another reason I love Musika is their ability to work lesson availability, my son plays sports and his schedule with games/practices constantly changes but Saousan is always there to work with us to find a time to get lessons done . If you're searching for a musical studio , search no more . Come join this musical family , because that's how they are going to make you feel , like family.

I am so happy to have found this gem! As a parent, I was super picky when choosing a music teacher for my preschoolers. After all, this was going to be the beginning of a life-long journey for them. I needed to make sure we started off on the right foot. Musika Studio is exactly what I was looking for! Ms. Saousan is both warm and cheerful. Her smile would brighten up any room and she was so good with my twins. I admittedly know next to nothing about music learning. I had visions of tearful, mundane practices, and power struggles full of threats and bribes. Well let me tell you, nothing could be further from the truth. Each day, my kids actually remind ME when it's time to practice! They love Ms. Saousan and look forward to seeing her every week. My kids can't wait to share everything about their lives with her. I always have to remind them that their time with Ms. Saousan is very limited and that they should be focusing on the lesson of the day. We started out with piano lessons with Ms. Saousan when we were only 4.5 years old. After seeing the gentle way she is able to corral their wandering minds and encourage them, I knew she was the right teacher for my kids. Ms. Saousan would often sing along with the piano songs and after listening to her enchantingly beautiful voice over the course of a year, we ended up taking voice lessons with her. Believe me, Ms. Saousan's singing voice alone is worth the price of admission. It is so luscious and irresistable that you immediately know that you're in the presence of a professional. I couldn't have found a better teacher to instill the love of music in my kids. To quote an African proverb: "It takes a village to raise a child." I always knew that I should surround my kids with the right adults and the right role models. I feel very blessed to count Ms. Saousan as one of them!

We adore this studio and the entire staff! My 7-year-old has been taking voice and piano lessons here for a year and a half, and we couldn't be more pleased. Lessons and homework are very appropriate for the age, and my daughter really enjoys her lesson each week. Her teacher, Miss Melody, is amazingly talented and patient. My daughter (a big Broadway fan) even asked Miss Melody, "Are you famous? You should be!" The owner, Saousan, is so wonderful and always plans fantastic family friendly events and recitals that everyone enjoys. What a fantastic place, extremely well-run, and truly encouraging love of music!

We love Musika Studio!!! My 7 year old has been taking piano lessons for a little over a year now. Saousan is a kind, patient, and wonderful teacher, who my daughter adores. We love the sense of community there as well. They always plan such fun events that the whole family can participate in. They have also managed to transition nicely for online lessons during covid. I highly recommend Musika for any musical lessons you may need.

My son wanted to play violin and we found MUSIKA studio and loved it. Owner Saousan is so amazing and caring. She takes the time and talks to all the families that are in the waiting area, she makes the studio feel like family. Paying tuition was very easy, she gives many options on how to pay and gives reminders that are very much appreciated. My son started with Miss EG in studio and from the first session, my son couldn't wait to come back. He couldn't stop talking about how much he learned and the fun games that he got to play while learning music. Due to covid, we had to start Zoom classes. That was interesting, but with no problem at all, it was great watching my son and Miss EG practicing violin right at home. I highly recommend MUSIKA to anyone who is looking for a family oriented music studio.

My son was auditioning for Orange County School of the Arts. We’d had some challenges finding the right vocal teacher and were running out of time. On top of that we had a tough schedule to coordinate, a busy life and the holidays piled on top of that. (the owner) and Alyssa (his teacher) took us under their wing, were nothing but positive and encouraging, found just the right songs for my son to work on and got us through the audition process (time limitations, laryngitis and all). They cheered with us when he actually got excepted in the Classical Voice conservatory there. They made my son feel confident, safe and ready to go. I have nothing but good to say about them and refer anyone that comes my way.

Saousan is authentically and deeply passionate and caring. Her rates are extremely reasonable especially given the quality of instruction and truly personalized help. Her work is clearly a labor of love. We recommend her highly.
