Recitals and Performances in Monrovia
At Monrovia Music Academy, we organize two recitals and student concerts each year: a Summer Performance in late June and a Winter performance in January, typically held at the Boston Court Pasadena. Our students and their families love these events!
Participating in our Recitals is Optional
Participating in these concerts helps students build confidence and stay motivated to practice. It’s normal to feel a bit nervous, especially before the first performance, but we ensure everyone is well-prepared and supported. Our goal is to create positive, encouraging experiences, with plenty of staff on hand to assist.
It’s a fantastic experience for the entire family!

The Monrovia music academy is a very friendly and welcoming place. At MMA, I have practiced drums and are practicing guitar .All of the teachers and staff are nice and really help you increase your musical skills, beginner or advanced, in a fun and engaging way. Mr. Drew, my guitar teacher, is incredibly helpful and makes learning to play music intriguing and interesting. Overall, this music academy is an excellent, comfortable, and fun place to practice music.Posted on Google![]()

My daughter has been taking weekly guitar lessons at Monrovia Music Academy for over a year and a half now. She started her lessons here when she was a shy 13-year-old. Her instructor, Ari Brattkus, made her feel comfortable from her very first lesson with him. He has been very nice and is always supportive of her. He allows her to choose songs to work on that she enjoys, while also assigning others that will help her advance her technique. The front desk staff are always friendly and very easy to work with when rescheduling sessions or answering questions. They have also been very responsive via text message. I’ve seen the other instructors interacting with their students and can tell that everyone at Monrovia Music Academy really seems to enjoy what they do. Everyone has been great! The option to choose virtual lessons has come in very handy when we have vacations, schedule conflicts or when my daughter is sick. MMA has become part of our Sunday routine and we couldn’t be happier.Posted on Google![]()

Love this music school! Staff is always friendly. My child is learning drums from teacher Kenny. He has remarkable patience and always takes time to explain things in a way that is easy to understand. Kenny is always encouraging and positive. I highly recommend Kenny to any parent looking for a drum or piano teacher!Posted on Google![]()
