Bloom School of Music and Dance, Los Angeles CA

This place is fantastic. Really nice instructors, and fun classes. I especially like Booiaka and Cardio Ballet. I cannot dance at ALL, and I'm never made to feel bad about it. It's just fun and exercise, no one minds if you butcher their choreography!

My daughter had a blast at Summer Camp as well as her normal weekly music classes here! Great, friendly staff that I feel safe leaving my daughter with during summer camp knowing she's being well taken care of and safe.

We love Bloom! As with any kind of school, one thing I look for is whether it fosters a love of learning and Bloom most definitely checks that box. My older daughter has been coming here since she was 14 months old - she started as a super shy toddler in Teacher Kim's Family Music class and has progressed through several different music and dance classes over the years. She is currently enrolled in Teacher Ben's Music Fundamentals class and Teacher Christina's Hip Hop class. She's very engaged in class and has a blast every week. She recently asked if she could start taking ukulele lessons and is showing interest in other instruments. I tend to think that when learning is self-directed, it's for life.:) She just finished 2 wonderful weeks of the Beatles Summer Camp - she built instruments, sang song, danced, made new friends, and came home every day to rave about it all. We got my younger daughter started before she could walk, but COVID hit so we had to take a short break. She's currently enrolled in Family Music and Dance and she absolutely loves it. Both my girls are looking forward to many more years of music making and dancing here! They are also great about COVID protocols and I have no hesitations sending my kids to class every week!

Our second child just outgrew Bloom School. We have been with them probably close to when they first opened doors in that tiny space on Eagle Rock Blvd. 2 boys accumulated maybe 15 years in total?

I imagine that's all you need to know about what our family thinks about our experience with Laura & Dave & Everybody who was teaching them over the years.

I am a music educator myself, and, full disclosure, I actually worked for the owners of Bloom years ago when Bloom was new on the block and before I had my own private practice. I feel that my experience with the owners, Laura and Dave Porter, makes me even better prepared to speak candidly about this wonderful place and it’s fearless leaders.
Because we are currently social distancing and unable to experience the joy of actually being in the space on Colorado Blvd in Eagle Rock, I won’t speak as much to its warmth but rather to that of the uniquely gifted teachers that Laura and Dave have attracted to their space, all of whom, are gratefully continuing their teaching practices via Zoom. Even with distance learning, my kid gets lit up every week when she jumps online with her piano teacher, Jen!
I chose Bloom years ago for my now teenage daughter. At this point, she has been a student of Bloom teachers half her life studying piano, guitar and cello. I cant help thinking that her continued commitment to all three instruments is, at least in part, a result of the extraordinary engagement of these very special teachers led by very special owners.
Laura and Dave are brilliant and accomplished musicians that take music education very seriously while, at the same time, manage to maintain how important it is for kids to cultivate a love for music. I feel unbelievably fortunate to have walked through their doors so many years ago and am only too happy to sing their praises!
See what I did there;)

I love this place. Teachers and staffs are so friendly and professional and caring. Comparing to other music schools, the prices are affordable.
