Many of us make a new year resolution, - and one that TRULY COMES TO FRUITION is taking music lessons! Visit us in Bellflower, Torrance or learn online in 2026!
A new year always brings the excitement of new beginnings and fresh opportunities. Many of us make resolutions — hoping to eat healthier, stay more organized, or learn new skills — yet, according to research, many resolutions don’t stick. However, one resolution that can truly come to fruition is taking a music lesson!
Whether your child is curious about instruments, or you as an adult want a new hobby, a music class offers measurable progress and personal growth. At Ardes Music, we’re thrilled to welcome students at our two locations: Bellflower and Torrance, Los Angeles, - making it easier than ever to start your journey in 2026.

We’re excited to offer music classes at two locations in Los Angeles, giving students more options for scheduling and accessibility. Whichever instrument you choose, or might decide to improve your singing skills, our dedicated teachers help you stay on track and enjoy the journey!
At Ardes Music, we’ve always believed that making music should be accessible and enjoyable for everyone. That’s why we’re proud to offer quality music lessons at two convenient locations, each with its own strengths and community vibe.
Our original home is in Bellflower, California, where The Arts Development School of Music has been helping students of all ages develop their skills and confidence through personalized music lessons for years. Located in the Rosewood Center area, this location offers a welcoming, community-focused environment where beginners and experienced players alike can explore instruments like piano, guitar, violin, flute, drums, saxophone, clarinet, cello, viola, and singing. Our highly qualified teachers provide one-on-one instruction tailored to each student’s goals, whether you’re signing up your young child for their first lesson or picking up an instrument yourself as part of a new year resolution to learn a new skill. Bellflower’s supportive community and long-standing reputation make it a great place to start your musical journey.
In addition to Bellflower, we now offer classes at our Torrance location, extending our reach to families and adult learners in the South Bay region. Torrance is known for its vibrant, family-friendly community and dedication to the arts, making it an ideal place to pursue music education. Our Torrance music school provides the same high-quality, personalized instruction that students love — covering piano, guitar, violin, drums, flute, saxophone, clarinet, cello, viola, and voice — with scheduling options that fit into your busy life. Whether you’re interested in strengthening technique, starting a new year’s resolution to play an instrument, or joining a music community, Torrance offers a supportive space with passionate teachers ready to help you succeed.
Having two locations means more flexibility, more choice, and more chances for students to stick to their music goals in 2026.
A music school isn’t just a place to learn notes — it’s a community. Students make new friends, share experiences, and support each other in keeping new year resolutions alive. No matter where you live in the greater Los Angeles area, there’s a music class waiting for you — and we’re excited to help you make this new year resolution one that truly lasts.
A new year’s resolution can be more than a line on a to-do list. A music lesson is a goal for the year that brings measurable results, personal growth, and pure enjoyment. Whether you’re 6 or 60, this resolution actually works.
The year ahead is full of possibilities. Don’t let another common resolution fade away. Make a new year’s resolution that truly sticks. Join a music class at Ardes Music and take the first step toward personal achievement, creativity, and fun in 2026.
