I grew up singing most of my life, however I have done it less and less as an adult. Working with Rebecca has shown me that the music has not completely left. Rebecca shows excitement for her students and champions you as you go along with the lesson. The lessons are also very affordable as well. After attending in person sessions for over a month I was able to change my schedule slightly. Even during this time when my schedule was crazy she allowed me to do my lessons virtually. As an adult I cannot tell you how beneficial this is to have someone work with your crazy schedule. I was able to successfully change my lessons to biweekly in a virtual setting. I plan to do more at Music Makers as time and money allows, I really enjoy my time with Rebecca.

We would've purchased a new amp and music if Charlie and the staff were more pleasant. Don't think we'll be using them for lessons or products after this interaction. Just go to guitar center!

The teachers are amazing and the performance opportunities keep the kids learning and engaged. His primary instrument is guitar but over the years that has expanded to include bass, drums, and keys.

I feel like I have gotten more than my moneys worth at every turn and I can not say enough good things about the owners, the teachers, and the support staff. If your kids have any interest in music at all you should check out School of Rock.

There's no re-entry, and my boyfriend was hoping if we arrived early, he could find a seat up there. Instead, we had to wait for the concert to start an hour later while absolutely freezing our tushes off. It was absurdly cold. Even through the main act, the entire night was frigid. He's a bigger guy and he even said he was chilly. I purchased a long-sleeved shirt from the headliner, and that helped a bit but not enough. And yes, we were in the heart of the crowd. I've really never experienced that at a venue before, and hopefully it was just a fluke? I'd return but only if it's a band I really-really-really want to see.

VSO annually performs in venues all over Hampton Roads, including genres such as Classical, Pops, and Jazz. In fact, just this week, VSO provided a small Jazz ensemble at the local Pagoda restaurant as one of their many Outreach concerts. VSO also provides orchestral support of the acclaimed Virginia Opera, Virginia Arts Festival, and Virginia Ballet. Last year, we enjoyed the Eroica Trio with VSO at the Sandler Center in Virginia Beach, another wonderful venue.
