She even picked out some picks at a music supply store. Victoria, was doing her homework and practicing without me telling her to over the weekend. Gaby, has been playing more than usual at home. Please let the teachers know that the kids are looking forward to their classes and are very excited. I can't believe that Victoria is already reading notes!!!! Yeah!"

"I'm so pleased with Lauren's progress - it was her dream to play violin and she was so worried that she was too old. But, she's been practicing, she really likes the teacher, and it seems to be coming along well.

Thank you for providing my daughter with an enjoyable, safe learning environment."

"I thoroughly enjoy learning from him (guitar instructor). He's an outstanding teacher and professional musician. My technique has improved dramatically, and I've added a lot of theory to my basic reading and playing capabilities. Some of the pieces I only dreamed of playing years ago are now completely playable."
