Lenka's mixed-ages class quickly became the highlight of our week. She is an incredible educator and her positive energy is immediately apparent. Music Together is an incredible program.... the music and the songbooks quickly became favorites in my household... we still use all of them to this day. Lenka, however, is the shining star of the program. She is adored by my kids and I know will be one of those people I happily remember when I reflect back on "the toddler years". Do yourself a favor and take one of her classes... she also does free demos to try it out!!

We've been amazed watching our daughter develop musically over the past year and a half. She's also been able to have positive experiences with other safe adults and children at different developmental stages. Lenka is a fantastic teacher and makes classes fun for everyone! She has been very successful in strengthening the Music Together of Belmont community by organizing fun events outside of class. Highest recommendation!

My two children have been taking piano lessons with Yas Ishibashi at Powers. My youngest started as…read morea first grader, my oldest as a second grader. I am amazed at how far they've come so quickly. Powers emphasizes performances early and often, which is just the incentive my children sometimes need to put in that extra bit of practice. This emphasis also teaches them that it's OK to make mistakes--that they can learn from them in the (futile but worthy) pursuit of perfection. Our experience with Yas has been wonderful--she is flexible, fun, and forgiving!

Hi! I used ANMS for music class last year, 2 weeks of camp last year and for their kindergarten…read moreXylophone School during this past school year. If I had an easy child, I am sure it would have been a good program, but my child is a bit challenging but is sweet, smart and well- behaved.. He did ok with the camp. I found out during xylophone class my child was being disruptive the first half of the year and not participating the 2nd half of the year. What really annoys me is that there was no communication with me the Mom. If a student is having trouble for an extended period of time, the parent should be contacted and a plan created. I was told, well its only a 45 minute group class and the teacher is busy. Well, that is unacceptable without proper parent communication, expectations could not be set. My 6 year old now has no interest in instrumental music. Also, during last year's music class i was called to pick up my child because he could not stop crying...Well, turns out he had a small cut near his eye and needed 3 stitches. He was injured by the sharp edge of the whiteboard. Instead of looking at his face, the teacher was annoyed that he was crying. I ended up asking for a partial refund because it was clear that my son was not prepared for the end of the year performance and he is a lot happier now. They also have a draconian refund policy. I understand that this is a school but they are so money hungry that they are inflexible. If you have that perfect child, this school may work well for you. If you have a more mature student this may be the school for you. But beware.

She was enrolled in a week of theater and multiple weeks of art instruction with a wide array of art classes to choose from. With an artshow each Friday, we enjoyed the opportunity to see the the kids amazing artwork on display. We ended up with multiple frame-worthy pieces, one of which the clerk at the frame shop said she'd never have guessed was created by a 6 year old, it was that good. My daughter had a great time, the staff was fantastic, they offered before and after care which was critical for us working full time and we were incredibly pleased by the overall experience. We re-enrolled for February vacation, are planning for summer camp, and see ourselves as lasting patrons for the years to come.

We moved to a different state, otherwise they would still be at this school. The teachers that our kids had were caring and warm; kids got to do a lot of free play with other children and work on their social skills that way; the program also involved a lot of movement and outdoor time, which is so important to young children. Even in the short few years that we were there, I could see how being at the school made our kids more creative and gave them great social skills. Our kids still miss their old school.

I went to have my daughter's clarinet corks replaced and when I returned 2…read moredays later, not only were the corks replaced, but pads were replaced as well - the pads, which I didn't order, cost double what the corks cost - so a whopping $113 later, I was more than frustrated. The gentleman, Paul, who I placed the order with, and who was the person I picked it up from, said that I had ordered the pads as well, which I didn't. I wouldn't even know to ask about the pads. When I told him that I didn't order the pads, his response was "well, it will play now", to which I responded with "it played before". There were no apologies, no trying to come to a resolution, nothing. I just had to pay the money. This experience left me feeling ripped off and left me feeling as though their business practice is questionable, if not unethical. A total disappointment.
