His supportive, encouraging spirit has allowed her to thrive, and truly he's become more of a mentor than just an instructor. Chris is kind, professional and has an amazing ability to cut through the teenage angst to bring out the best in kids. We feel so lucky that he's part of our daughter's life and wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone who is looking to learn how to play.

MU other son is learning ukulele from him as well! He's a total rocker who is able to meet the kids at whatever level they are at. I am very thankful for his effort and skillset. He's one of the better music teachers I've seen my kids learned from (you don't want no diva music teacher). He can teach rock as well as even some gospel/carols. I'm musically retarded but his teaching methods seem very technical and engaging and fun. Thanks Mr. Chris! I think he is well worth every penny he charges which isn't very much.

They are the most down to earth people and are completely committed to their students. This is why their students return summer after summer. Its incredible to see the kids grow each season. The experience that the kids get in being a part of a band, having practices and then performing live sets at different venues is such a unique and one of a kind offering. I would recommend RBU to all davis parents. Trust me, you will love seeing the smile on their faces as they rock out to their favorite songs!!

He even agreed to sing lead on several songs the last session he attended. My son has taken guitar lessons for a couple of years but it was like pulling hair to get him to practice, until we put him in RBU. Mike the owner is great with the kids and places them with other students who are at their level. The culmination of the session is a performance which includes all of the bands with their parents and friends attending. You will be happily surprised to see your child's inner rocker shine through.

It's basically whatever the piano teacher decides on and although I'm sure they are all talented, there is no organization within the piano teacher. It costs too much to be this unorganized. The piano teacher herself even offered private lessons to come to our house rather than go through the school. Maybe others have had better experiences, but we ended up going to our old piano teacher who was much farther.

We started our 5 year old in lessons just after Christmas. She has a wonderful teacher, and she performed confidently at the recital in June at the Deville. Our daughter also loves the weekly theory classes that are included in the monthly price of tuition. She is always excited to go to class, and even to do theory homework! The price is a little higher than other local options but the quality of the teachers is exceptional. We would definitely recommend signing up for a trial session here. It's fun and inspirational for our daughter walking in and hearing someone singing opera upstairs, or a cellist or drummer having a lesson in the back. The one struggle we have experienced is that sometimes it takes a while to hear back from YACM via email, so I suggest calling between 10-2 on a week day if you have questions because someone will usually always answer the phone. Also, we do practice piano homework with our daughter every day at home, which at first seemed overwhelming because we have three kids 5 and under--however now it's just part of the bedtime routine, and she is starting to read and understand music. Something very cool to see. We will definitely enroll our other kids here when they are old enough.
