I've been to a few of the events/concerts they've held and can see that the Music Box is unique in that Jim Chambers gives his students stage experience and exposure to the music scene that they wouldn't get elsewhere. Great place!

My children ages 5, 7 and 9 have been taking guitar and ukulele lessons at The Box for a year now…read more This place is funky and fantastic! The owner Jim is totally passionate about music and makes everyone feel completely welcome at the Box, like you are a guest in his home. Stix the Westie dog greets everyone at the door when you enter the orange musical paradise. The parents relax on the sofas while the students take their lessons. Adam teaches the string instruments - he is fun but firm, doesn't let the kids get away with too much but they are still having fun. He was able to get my somewhat shy 5 year old daughter to play her ukulele and sing in front of an audience of about 75 people! My oldest child just finished a week of Rock n Roll summer camp and he LOVED it. He felt like he was a big guy in a rock band. The kids put on performances regularly so they can learn about showmanship and it also builds their confidence. As a mom, it is important to me that the money we spend on music lessons is well spent and at The Box, I believe it is.

Taylor is a master teacher, with much experience both overseas in London and here in the United States. His teaching style is detail oriented, yet patient and good humored. His flute playing is absolutely beautiful. I highly recommend him as a teacher, and the Tampa Flute Studio as a place for all things flute related.

For those flutists seeking advice and guidance on purchasing and/or selling a flute or piccolo, I…read morewould definitely recommend the Tampa Flute Studio. My personal experience with the Studio has been outstanding. I received one-to-one assistance from Owner/Music Director, Taylor Irelan, as I worked through my needs and priorities in a comfortable and private setting. The selection of flutes and piccolos from which I could choose gave me the time and opportunity to find just what I sought. In addition, the Studio handled the consignment and subsequent successful sale of my former flute. The website description of the Studio indicates that, when you walk in, you become part of their family; I agree!

It was always a desire of mine to really proper techniques really be able to sing along with my favorite artist without sounding like a wounded animal, lol. I started taking vocal lessons at Plant City Academy of the Arts a year ago, and to just tell you my vocal teacher is AMAZING, is an understatement. He is more like the "Voice Whisper". Not only did he help eliminate my fears of signing in front of people. He took me from not being able to find the correct note to singing a solo in front of a crowed. Something I thought I would never do. As I continue my lessons my voice is getting better I'm glad I stepped out of my comfort zone and started taking lessons. If your looking for voice leasons or want to learn how to play an instrument, then I highly recommend Plant City Academy of the Arts. The rates are very affordable and they have flexible times. signed, a very Satisfied Current Student.

He has felt totally comfortable learning new things, as well as "just hanging out" at the school.

It was during this time that his instructor, Dominic, identified his special musical talents. He now wants to go into a career in music.

Music instruction in our youth is key for intellectual achievement as it fosters creativity and ingenuity in our daily lives. Being able to "create a party" wherever one goes gives a pleasant journey and real personhood for leadership and success. Bright-eyed and happy, the kids attending The School of Rock are the best of the best. They even get to regularly ascend the Stage at the Friday Morning Musical to play their hearts out. Real stewardship, real role models, The School of Rock on Mac Dill in south Tampa is awesome.

I took both of my children to the AlliSongs for Tots music classes for years. We started at age 6 months for my oldest child and then my youngest started attending at age 3 wks old. The music book and cd's are helpful so you can sing outside of class. My children continue to love music and they really enjoyed these classes (so did my husband and I)! I love that our instructor (Alli), would always say "you have the most beautiful voice to your child so don't be afraid to sing!" This place is very clean, you take off your shoes upon arrival. The instruments are clean, the bathroom is clean and well kept too. We would always do the summer sessions too, it's nice and air conditioned inside her building!! Enjoy!!

I've been in there twice now and both times they've acted like they couldn't really be bothered with what I needed help with. I was the only person in the store and not once did anyone ask how they could help. I asked the guy about green dot balls and his sole response was "on the back wall" almost as if I was an idiot. I could easily see that balls were on the back wall but what I needed was a case , which he ended up having to go in the back to get. Lastly, I watched a lady walk in as I was leaving and they seemed very eager to help her- so I'm not sure what is so obvious about me to make them treat me differently but I'd like to not have to use my imagination as to why. Do better guys.
