The rest of the kids are assigned tasks to do and including watching videos of her teaching the specific song they are working on. This music school had a very well thought out system in their books and curriculum before the pandemic and they were able to adapt to the virtual medium very well. We are happy to continue to be students at this school.

No "hi" "how can I help you" "what are you looking for", anything. In fact, it takes 10 minutes for an employee to even come out. I get that they teach lessons, but if you double as a store, you should also have a designated employee at the counter, at least to prevent theft. As a drummer, their selection of sticks is pitiful. As a Promark user, the fact that they only sell Vic Firth irks me and they're always out of 5A sticks. As far as practice pads, they only have the Evans Realfeel pad, which has way too rebound for my liking. They also charge more for it than I've seen any other retailer charge for it. Granted, it's a $5 difference ($25 as opposed to $20), but still. Their selection of drumheads was decent, at least carrying more than just Remo. Their selection of guitars looked a little better, but I'm barely even a novice in the guitar world, so I couldn't tell you for certain A little wider variety of products and a little more hospitality is all they need to add, but those are pretty sizeable omissions, so that's why I'm rating them unfavorably.

It's been awhile since I wrote a very honest and heartfelt review regarding our experience with…read moreChris' music program. I have seen his response and decided to set the record straight. Yes, there are two sides to every story, and Chris always thinks his is correct. I feel that Chris may be confusing me with someone else, as I did not have a follow up cordial conversation with him (at least not on his part). I was nothing but kind to Chris all along. Kids get sick. Chris just wanted "different" students and wanted to open up space for them. Nonetheless, my student DID in fact take a break, and then we found the most amazing piano teacher ever, right in our neighborhood. This teacher is well trained, in high demand and plays throughout the community and beyond. I am very grateful that we left Chris; otherwise, life wouldn't have brought this new excellent teacher into our lives as not only a teacher but a friend. I wish Chris nothing but the best. It's unfortunate he chose to try to twist the facts, but not surpised. Happily moved on.

I have been taking piano lessons with Chris at Enjoy Music Lessons for almost a year now. I highly…read morerecommend! The lessons started off in-person, and have evolved into virtual lessons as a result of COVID-19. This format has made lessons very easy. No commute time! When we began, Chris evaluated my current skill level and recommended I start with a first level music book to work on the fundamentals. During the lessons, Chris provides meaningful feedback, shares resources on games that can help with intervals, memorizing notes, and other fundamentals. (I am in my 30's and enjoy the games just as much, or more, than somebody younger :)) This has all strengthened my skill-set over time. Chris also asks for my feedback on songs I am interested in learning. He has taught me some key elements of improv, as well as songs from the Beatles, the Styx, John Legend and other musicians. He also responds to questions along the week. I always look forward to learning the next song, and working with Chris as he provides valuable feedback!

My philosophy about parenting is that it all goes better if you're having your kids do things that are fun, rather than things that are not fun, so we wanted to find a fun piano teacher. I feel so fortunate that a friend recommended 1 2 3 Rock to us! Kyle has been studying piano with Johnny there for over eight years. He has become such a wonderful player, and he has loved every minute of his lessons. I have to say he wouldn't have kept it up for nearly as long if we were with a teacher who didn't have the playfulness and good "kid sense" that Johnny has.
