STUDENT TESTIMONIALS

  • Slide title

    My son has been going for piano lessons here for a while now and I have to say that I have seen how much he loved playing. I thank his teacher, Ms. Heidi for her dedication and patience as it has not been an easy start. She is very flexible with her time, to really make sure he is caught up with his lessons. She keeps us up to date about his progress, his strengths and weaknesses. I am really pleased! My other son also started guitar lessons with Mr. Craig and he is the same as Ms. Heidi. Both have formed good relationships with my kids that made them comfortable and so made them eager to learn and love to play. They both keep my boys on their toes, giving them gentle but firm reminders to always practice. All the staff are wonderful. You can sense that they want their students to excel!

    I absolutely love taking piano lessons with Anita. She is an excellent piano instructor, very patient and knowledgeable. She is always ready with tips and tricks that I can use to get through some of the difficult areas in my lessons. Don has been doing a fabulous job of keeping my piano in tune for the last couple of years. They are both talented in the extreme, very friendly and caring people. I highly recommend A&A Music to anyone of any age group interested in taking music lessons.
