What our students have to say about The Music Factory:

"The Music Factory is an ideal learning environment with a great facility, knowledgeable (and cool) instructors and helpful management. My 11-year-old son was having so much fun and learning [guitar] so quickly, that I had to enroll myself."

- Doug Schneider, Huntington Beach


"The bass instructors at The Music Factory have been awesome. My daughter is having fun while learning the fundamentals."

- Patty Ledoux, Lake Forest


"The Music Factory has provided me with the motivation and instruction that I need to become a better musician. The dependability, professionalism, and knowledge they provide is of high standard. I'm a high school student, and I feel comfortable communicating with the instructors there, it's been great! I'm always excited for the next lesson."

My Name is Andy Navarrete and I am currently a student at The Music Factory.
The Music Factory is a place where dreams come true and ambitious pay off at the end. I’ve been a student in The Music Factory for more than a year now. Each time I walked in this place, I had the persistence to learn the modern and the old school of music. This place gives an opportunity to learn what the student wants to learn and perfect it. There have been rough times for me to learn complex rhythms or techniques, but with the support of the teachers at The Music Factory I accomplished every obstacle. This program is not only helping me to get my musical goals accomplished, it is also helping me to get over my obstacles in my High School program and prepares me for my bigger dreams and goals in life such as attending a Music College program. I already feel that I’m ready and prepared to join an audition for a College Music Program.

The Music Factory program has built up my confidence and taught me to try my Best in everything I do. I’m thankful for everything that this organization has taught me and the fact this being my last year, I’ll take advantage of every lesson to better my skills, which will increase my confidence of becoming a professional musician.

"I purchase my first guitar when I was sixteen years old and took lessons.  After several weeks I gave up thinking I just couldn't be taught.  I purchased my second and third guitar in my thirties and took Beginning Guitar at a local Community College.  Amazingly I earned an "A" in the course more confused then ever with all the theory that went along with the group instruction, and extremely disappointed that I still couldn't play a song.  In my forties I finally realized that buying guitars wasn't going to magically allow me to play them.  I enrolled at The Music Factory for private lessons with Bryan Karijanian where I was determined to learn or give up my childhood dream of playing the guitar.  Bryan is by far the best guitar teacher I have ever had.  He is very passionate about teaching and is genuinely interested in my development as a musician. I believe Bryan could teach anyone to play because he is so encouraging and nurturing.  Bryan found creative ways to help me learn and has brought me along faster than I ever thought possible. Thank you Bryan for having an intuitive teaching talent and thank you Music Factory for connecting me to a very patient instructor."

"My experience with Bryan has been awesome!!  I have limited experience  as I took one semester of guitar classes in college 15 years ago!  I  have truly enjoyed my lessons and saw improvement immediately.  He  created a program for me that   was customized to MY goals.  His instruction was easy to understand  yet challenging enough to push me to my potential.  He was flexible  with me on scheduling my lessons and we never rushed a session.  I  highly recommend Bryan…you will have a blast and learn   a ton!!"

- Thanks Bryan!
