EXCELLENT Based on 209 reviews Kade Houston8 May 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Our son's instructor is Logan. He has been incredibly knowledgeable, patient, kind, and our son is picking up the piano so well. We tried a few instructors prior to Logan but our son just didn't seem to connect with them the way he does with Logan. It's a testament to Logan's style, creativity and how excellent he is as a musician. Our son loves going to his lessons and looks forward to them every week. Thank you Logan!!

Mr. Gabe has been an incredible instructor at United Conservatory of Music and Arts!! My son has excelled in 5 months of guitar lessons, and is teaching me to play!! Devon Herzog6 May 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’ve been taking drum lessons at UCMA Fresno, and I couldn’t be more impressed. The instruction is top-tier—clear, engaging, and tailored to my skill level. My teacher not only breaks down technique in a way that’s easy to grasp, but also brings genuine energy and passion to every session. Whether we’re working on rudiments, grooves, or full songs, I always leave feeling challenged and motivated. The environment at UCMA is incredibly supportive and professional. The facilities are clean, well-equipped, and designed to help students grow musically. I’ve made noticeable progress in both my speed and precision, and most importantly, I’ve had a ton of fun doing it. If you’re looking to learn drums in Fresno, UCMA is the place to be. Highly recommended! Tameka Simmons5 May 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My daughter have been going to this school for 3 years. Her first time coming she was in love with Miss. Zxena. She was brilliant. However, my daughter was so distracted by the piano. Miss. Zxena encouraged daughter to play the piano with Miss. Kyla. She is so charismatic, unique and a joy. We also have the pleasure of working with Miss. Suny L. She really motivated and push daughter to do better 👏🏾. We love the front desk , the spicy teachers and the whole production Would highly recommend. Debi Willsie14 April 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We love the experience our son has with UCMA. As an adult on the spectrum he was looking for private music lessons focusing on guitar or piano. When I contacted UCMA, they were very helpful, offering a lesson in both so he could decide his focus. The instructors he has worked with in his time at the school have always been respectful of his learning style. Bradford and Gabriel have both allowed our son freedom to explore as he learns without pressure. That means the world to us.

He has taught me a lot from when I started with him to now. He understands that sax is hard and will go slow and take the time to make sure that you nail your part and his story’s are phenomenal, overall he is an amazing person and i would definitely recommend him
