As my youngest child heads off to college to major in 3D art and minor in music, this feels like a…read moregood time to credit Puget Sounds for transforming his creative confidence. Starting in third grade, his first teacher was owner Shannon. Instead of assigning the usual lockstep practice-book routines that my oldest slogged through with an in-home teacher, Shannon analyzed my youngest's interests and customized lessons accordingly. Soon, she moved him to a different teacher, Charlie, because she could see an interest in jazz developing. He was incredible with my youngest for years, and then when he had to go on leave, Shannon found a series of jazz-focused teachers outside her studio who continued to help my youngest embrace improv and composition. I believe that PSPS's individualized approach lit such a joyful creative spark that he had the confidence to "improv" digital art during the pandemic. He now spends all of his free time composing digital art & digital music; and without a doubt, one or both will become his career. Thank you, Shannon and PSPS!

It's a group effort at the beginning but he can string together a variety of chords and has begun to think about music. We cannot recommend her enough, even though I cannot properly spell her name.

I have personally heard many great testimonies about professional level of the teachers and many happy parents and clients. Starting at age 5 kids can learn piano, violin, guitar, voice and other instruments with high level professionals and friendly, safe environment Whenever I come to a new place I always judge them by cleanliness of their bathrooms. Not only Live Music Academy is a clean school but with exceptional design as well Whenever it comes to my kids, for me before I trust them I make sure staff go through background check. Another important aspect is communication between myself and administration. I want communication to be top level at any given moment to receive a response and Live Music Academy is really good at it. If you're looking for a music school this is definitely a place to check out

He can write out the chords for any song you ask just by listening to it! He can teach you at any level you may be at with guitar playing.

I still remember when we first started, my kid can't even speak a full sentence, and his fingers were so weak. Mrs Meg bears with the difficulties and treated my kid with love just as if he was her grandson.

My 15 year old son has been a student at Crystal Creek Music Studio for eight years. Like other…read morechildren, it was easy to get him to attend lessons in the beginning. The reason he continues to take piano, with all the other distractions a young man has with sports and such, is his instructor Meg Mann. Her method of teaching is calming, never antagonistic. Not only has my son excelled in piano, she is an adult in his life that he respects. I don't have to cajole him into practicing at home (I sometimes have to remind him of course), he just goes right to it. I know it's because he enjoys seeing progress with his playing, and enjoys his lessons. Meg's studio in her home is welcoming, with beautiful large picture windows looking out at the mountains. It's peaceful. Meg is a certified teacher in the "Well Prepared Pianist Institute". http://www.wppinstitute.com/index.php?ID=2491&XID=2491:0:0:0:0&PID=0 As a parent I recommend Crystal Creek Music Studio if your goals are to see substantive progress and to avoid nagging to practice.

I'm really enjoying my lessons with Dean Norling. I'm also an adult learner. After trying to…read moreteach myself guitar for about a year I decided to give lessons a try. One of the best things I've done for myself in a long time. I've learned so many things in the 2months I've been going. I found Dean's approach perfect for me. We get through a song a week along with many helpful hints. I think the studio is set up fine for adults and children... It's a guitar lesson for Pete sake. Sit in the chair and enjoy the students of all ages until it's your turn to learn. I applaud any parent that gives their child lessons (wish I was one of them). I plan on continuing my lessons for a while and would highly recommend Dean to anyone interested in learning to play guitar. Jennifer Perrigo

She is now a year old, and incredibly interested in instruments of all kinds, but mostly percussion :). We knew we wanted music to be a big part of our daughters' life, and getting her started as an infant has been exactly what we had hoped - it's fostered such a natural interest for her! There have also been a few articles coming out recently (the most recent in the New York Times) about how early music education helps with brain development, language development, and organization/memory. BONUS! :) Connie Coffman, the teacher of Songbird, is FANTASTIC. She's a wonderful leader, enthusiastic, and engaging. Her love of children of all ages is apparent in every class. We plan on continuing to attend this class until my daughter ages out :).
