How I wish Empire Performance Studio was around during my youth! As a musician and advocate of…read moremusic education for youth, I have high remarks for Empire Performance Studio. Whether your child has no musical background or is musically inclined, Empire will not only guide the students with their musical abilities but also help build their confidence and enhance their social skills. The students are engaged in learning how to sing, dance, and act on stage and the result is phenomenal! Students will be able to experience, firsthand, the work that goes on to put on a musical production including seeing how the set comes alive with props and costumes. They will also learn how to prepare for roles beginning with auditions and rehearsals. It's really a fun process to watch a production from start to finish for the adults as it is for the children. Becky and Linda are so great with the kids, providing them with a positive atmosphere and challenging each one of them to do their best! I had the opportunity to watch a few shows already and every child just shines on stage! You can tell they love being a part of Empire! It's pretty amazing what they do here. And I've enjoyed every single performance I've attended. Thank you, Empire!

We signed up for singing lessons with Dr. Batista's studio. Right off the bat, we noticed that Dr…read more Batista herself was the one replying to our questions which at first, we thought was pretty awesome since you're speaking directly to the owner. After speaking to her more on the phone and via text, we noticed that she came off a little rude, but hey we chalked it up to just being new to us and gave her the benefit of the doubt. Fast forward, lessons have started and her teacher (Karina) was a blast to work with. We did find it rather interesting that towards the end of the lesson, Batista would always barge in the room to bark at Karina that time was almost up. Again, maybe it was a fluke we thought. Time and time again, we had these rude occurences with Batista. After about two months of lessons, we let Batista and Karina know that we'd be leaving for vacation for a week and that we would not be doing the lesson that week. We returned to an irate Batista demanding payment for the next month's lesson and that we would have to incur a late fee in addition to missing a class. It was almost as if she never knew we were gone after we clearly had told her. What's worse is that Batista said that we had not returned her emails...well, of course, we didn't, we were on vacation! Plus we thought we had left everything in order prior to leaving. After returning from our trip, we had just had it with Batista's lack of respect, and simply lack of tact when speaking with her clients, so we canceled our lessons with her studio. We gave her honest feedback and let her know that the teachers that she employs our GREAT, but unfortunately the customer service is TERRIBLE. We suggested that she get help with the "front desk" and let someone else talk to the customers because it's clear that wasn't one of her strong points. Anyhow, there's plenty of music schools out there where you can go.... we all deal with enough rude people in this world and the last thing we need is to deal with one more around something that's supposed to be a pleasurable hobby/education. I feel bad for Karina and the others working there. They deserve a much better business owner! Unfortunately, Batista lets her pride get in the way of what her business is capable of. She's educated and will let you know it. (Don't believe me? It's the first thing she mentions in her Yelp business bio... ). Being educated doesn't mean you have the right to be rude to your customers. If you're considering this place for your child/significant other/friend, spare the abuse and look elsewhere!

She has many techniques and prize give aways to keep kids encouraging to reach their goals. She meets the child at his/her level and teaches them in fun way. I wanted my daughter to take a piano exam and Ms Linda went above and beyond to make that happen. Kids also perform recitals twice a year and showcase their talent. Ms Linda is very dedicated to teaching and she often teaches extra time when the student after cancels the class. She is not looking at the clock, rather always trying to finish what she started. Kids can choose the songs they want to learn or can follow a curriculum. Her studio is very clean and classes are very affordable as well. Overall my daughter is very happy to learn piano from Ms Linda.
