I've been nothing but impressed with Leading Note Studios - Encinitas. My son has really enjoyed his trumpet and saxophone lessons - he is complimentary of each instructor he's had. Also, the front desk is easy to reach, flexible with scheduling, and very accommodating for any needs we have. I highly recommend this place!

Great little facility in Encinitas for performers, little or not. Very nicely set up to teach music. Their staff and teachers take the effort to make it special. Concerts and holiday shows make it all the more special.

Both of my kids are now going here. So easy to communicate with. So easy to schedule. My kids love it.
