My son has been doing guitar lessons with Brennan at Musicology since the beginning of 2020. Due to the pandemic, he has always done virtual lessons. During that time we moved out of state and my son was able to continue his lessons because of the virtual option which made the transition very smooth. Charlene and Brennan have been wonderful to work with over the last 2 years. They have been very accommodating with the time difference we have being in 2 different states and helping us find lesson times that work around my son's busy high school schedule. My son has learned a lot on his guitar with Brennan teaching him and he enjoys his lessons every week. We couldn't be happier with Musicology and I would highly recommend them!

My eldest has been taking Drum Lessons from Jake for years, and we've gotten to see so much improvement. Jake is awesome! Charlene and Steve run a wonderful studio and are both genuine people. We knew nothing about this place when we first signed up for lessons, and now we can't imagine what it would have been like if we hadn't!

I have been taking music lessons at Musicology for a few years now and it's great! I see Brennen for guitar lessons and Rionah for singing lessons and they're both really great teachers and really knowledgeable. Everyone here is always friendly and welcoming and the teachers really care about the students.

Love Love Love it here. My daughter is already playing music after 4 weeks. The staff is wonderful. The decor makes up pumped up to walk in the door. We have kevin for guitar and I can't say enough about him. Love that my daughter gets excited about coming to practice every week. I love that you don't need to pay for 3 mos. at a time, unlike many others, which made it a plus for us due to school schedule. I highly recommend checking them out.

The guitar lessons at Musicology are Fantastic! I have been playing drums for five years now and have wanted to learn another instrument. I choose to learn the guitar because it seemed interesting and started with a new teacher, Brennen. He is great at teaching exactly what you want to learn and is really fun while doing it. I enjoy learning guitar so much because he makes it fun to practice and play and I feel myself getting better every time I come in. I'd recommend them to anyone for guitar lessons even if they have no prior experience

Where to start? My history with Steve Denning goes back for many years. As I was growing up, I began taking drum lessons in Temecula with Steve. I looked forward to my music lessons with Steve because he just made it so much fun and interactive. On top of being a phenomenal drummer, he's extremely patient and knows how to adjust to every students individual learning needs. Wherever you're at on the skill level, he meets you there and knows exactly where to start.
I had a buddy who wanted to take some guitar lessons and musicology offers that as well. From front to back, the experience at this music school is nothing but the best. Some of the most knowledgeable and skilled music teachers in Temecula are at Musicology. If you're considering getting your child piano lessons, or singing lessons, connect with Musicology. Even if they're for yourself, you're going to love it! Thanks Steve and the rest of the staff and teachers at Musicology!

For the last 20 years all of my kids have been involved in some sort of music lessons, private home based music lessons, or group setting type of music instruction. About 7 yrs. ago, Mr. Denning came highly referred to us as a drum teacher. He has given 3 of my kids drum lessons. All of them have thoroughly enjoyed being under his instruction. Therefore, we have followed him to several music schools.
His newly opened music school is by far the cleanest, most cheerful, and energetic. His staff is friendly, highly skilled and very professional. To prepare my son for his music studies in college, in addition to drum lessons, Mr. Denning is also incorporating piano lessons. Our youngest also started guitar lessons with Dave, my son felt at ease, had fun, and has learned some great techniques to have fun with while also learning skill. I highly recommend checking Musicology out for those interested in learning how to play an instrument. For the busy mom, it's conveniently located by Starbucks, CVS, Target, etc.

I really like the new location! My kids (two boys) have both been taking drum lessons from Steve for a little over a year and my daughter just started piano lessons here a few months ago. Steve is the owner of this place and he's really cool. He's really good with my kids to and his new shop is really great. The piano teacher is really nice and patient to and I'm hoping that my daughter will stick with it like the boys have! Overall a great place with great teachers and a clean waiting room. I'd recommend it to anyone!

I have 2 boys and a girl that all take lessons here and we love the place! My oldest son started taking guitar lessons here a few years ago and we liked the interaction he got with his guitar teacher. After seeing how much fun he was having, my daughter began voice lessons, and my younger son started drum lessons. They did a really good job of trying to schedule our lessons around the same time so I didn't have to drive the kids in 3 times a week. Overall, a really great place with a great staff and a clean, professional environment.
