Not an old ladies house teaching old school tunes with no advancement, or a fancy place that charges you an arm and a leg for lessons. Mila teaches out of a super cute studio, she is so kind and patient and actually expresses a genuine interest in your learning. I really like that she has an educational university level background in Piano and Music and doesn't just teach you piano songs back to back. (Like the teachers I had growing up). She delves into music theory, history, composition, form, sight reading, ear training etc. it really makes the learning effective and long term. She continuously updates her curriculums to new techniques and keeps up with modern pieces. She even offers educational music group classes for toddlers while also ranging to adult students. She is very organized has great communication, not sure what the other review was talking about, they probably just didn't read her payment setup which is super easy and convenient. She stays up to date with all of her students and will always answer questions about her policies. I have learned so much from Mila, she is an incredible piano teacher.

It's never too late, or too early. Ms. Kibbe and her staff are unfailingly gracious, gifted at and clearly enjoy teaching music. Ms. Kibbe's sincere interest and delight in teaching is refreshing. She is a gifted musician, inspiring her students with demonstrations of beautiful violin and viola music, good humor and productive instruction. Her knowledge, teaching ability, sincere kindness, patience, insight and interest in each student are only surpassed by her love of children, commitment to their development and her ability to encourage and gift the joy of music. The new offices of Snohomish County Music School are fresh, clean, comfortable, safe, welcoming and conveniently located close to the Everett COSTCO. I am both impressed and very grateful to Snohomish County Music School and especially to Ms. Kibbe for the first of many enriching years of violin. Mark Potampa, M.D.

If you are looking for a place to enroll your child, I do not recommend it at all. Jenny is never available to talk to parents. She is not responsive and does not provide feedback.

My daughter began to take violin lessons from Ms. Lizzy since she was 6 year old. She had no prior…read moremusic lessons and just wanted to try it out. Knowing that violin playing has a steep learning curve, our plan was to just get her exposed to some music lessons and see how everything would pan out. From the very first lesson, Ms. Lizzy has shown a great deal of patience and she certainly had her ways to keep my daughter interested and engaged. My daughter sometimes could get really frustrated quickly. However, Ms. Lizzy was able to make things work for her very well. For example, when my daughter got stuck on a difficult passage or a new bowing or fingering pattern, and was on the verge of getting emotional, Ms. Lizzy would guide her to play something my daughter was familiar with, and it worked wonder to calm her down and reestablish confidence. She will then guide her back later to tackle the place where she was stuck on. In addition, she would also take quality time to converse with my daughter and guide her on how to handle challenges in each new song and techniques. Her being a great teacher to my daughter eventually inspired me to join the party to take my beginner lesson with her along with my daughter. Fast forward to now, we are close to a year into our lessons. My daughter and I were able to play some duets from Suzuki's Duets for Violin book already. The weekly lesson with Ms. Lizzy has been one of the best times we are looking forward to, rains or shine.
