How much is the tuition for La Petite Academy?

Musicians Institute or LA Music Academy?

• Hey guys, I'm looking for a hands on contemporary music school and have been having these two schools as my top choices. I thought about Berklee but I really wanted to be in the California Area so that's what I came up with. (I'm an international student planning to study vocal performance with some audio engineering and songwriting) I've never visited any of the school campuses because I live too far away so I'm hoping to get some advice from anyone really, especially if you're been to any of these schools I'd love some honest opinion in what you thought about it. From what I heard most people who go to Musicians Institute never really heard of the LA Music Academy and LA music academy is a much more intensive, smaller school with a better student to teacher ratio since they only have about 150 students each year. I've also seen some reviews from people who went to Musicians Institute saying that it was a waste of their time and money, and that it's turned into a very commercial school.. but is it really?

• Answer:

  i am a LAMA drum graduate. Looked at both MI and LAMA in 1997. After visiting the facilities of both schools, the decision to attend LA Music Academy came easy. The campus, vibe and small classes won me over. It's a contemporary school, not so much metal/rock/guitar hero and it's in a better part of town :) Would recommend visiting each to see for yourself!
