The School of Music

One of my children takes guitar lessons here, and the other takes piano lessons. Recently, both of them participated in the winter recital, and it was a great experience. Both of my kids are beginners, but during the recital, their teachers performed duets with them, which really helped improve the overall quality of the performance. Playing in front of an audience also helped build their confidence. Kevin, the guitar teacher, and Harold, the piano teacher, are both very attentive and patient, and they do a great job adjusting their teaching to each child’s level. Most importantly, both of my kids are happy and enjoy coming here. The scheduling system is also very convenient—booking and canceling lessons through the website is quick and easy.

My daughter has been taken music lessons at The School of Music for almost 10 years. She started with ukulele and later switched to guitar. He allows her to choose some of the pieces of music that she wants to learn. Playing guitar and ukulele is her hobby and stress relief outlet. Kevin makes it fun for her to enjoy learning music every day.

Our son has been attending The School of Music for 10 years now. He started with the ukulele when he was 4 years old, and then switched to the guitar as he grew bigger. When he was 5, he spread joy to hundreds of guests at my sister's wedding when he performed "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" on his ukulele. The gift he received from The School of Music has allowed him to continue to participate in events, enriching his life and sharing love through music to those around him. My husband and I are not musicians, and so we completely attribute our son's passion to what he has soaked up at The School of Music. Kevin is not only the most incredible guitar player, he knows how to tune into our son's soul. Whether it is bends in rock, strum patterns in folk, fingerpicking in classical, or improvisation in jazz, Kevin has moved with our son's interests throughout the years. Our son's sense of wonder in playing the guitar has only grown because of Kevin. The School of Music has truly been the gift of a lifetime for our son, as we can see the peace he feels when he plays the guitar, and we are confident the joy of music he received from Kevin will carry him safely through life's most tumultuous times.

I have been an adult guitar student at The School of Music for many years. My teacher, Kevin, is the owner and is also an awesome musician and instructor. During my time as a student I have progressed from learning simple chords on a nylon string guitar to playing lead melodies on an electric guitar. Overall I have found the School to be a supportive and welcoming community and an enriching part of my life, while pushing me outside my comfort zone.

Have been taking piano lessons with Connie for at least six years. She's great and I love her flexibility in allowing me to learn the songs I want to learn and at my own pace. She also introduces some theory, finger positioning and other techniques that help me learn. Prior to Covid there was always someone at the front desk to talk with while waiting for lessons. I'm not sure if they stopped that completely or just at the times I come for my lesson. Lesson prices are very reasonable.

Kevin is a superb teacher and guitarist, and a totally nice guy to boot. I think the School's prices are reasonable for the quality of teaching. And they are easy to work with in terms of schedule. Highly recommended!

Our daughter started piano lessons with Chayah a few months ago and has been thriving! Chayah is lovely, patient, and has made our daughter so excited about learning a new instrument. She was even ready to participate in the recital after only a few months of lessons.
