I personally appreciate how easy and smooth it is to work with this company! Mr. Derek gives lessons to 3 of the 5 members of my band, Lime Creek, out of Northwest Arkansas.

My oldest has been going to Orpheus for her piano and music lessons since 2012. In 2014, I got my…read moreyoungest to go as well. I especially like Orpheus philosophy that learning a music instrument needs to be backed by a strong theory. When I was growing up, my piano teacher taught me to play piano, but never taught me music theory. I feel I'm missing some music foundation. I think my kids will have a richer musical life knowing a decent amount of music theory. I like the fact that we spend approximately equal amount of time on theory (in a group) and on instrument lesson (individually). Another aspect I like about Orpheus is the opportunities to collaborate amongst students. Orpheus' annual Friendship Concert where multiple kids collaborate to perform a duet or triplet is just about my favorite event of the year.

His lessons are a great value relative to the quality of instruction you receive. I have made great progress in my playing throughout our lessons and would highly recommend him to anyone. Just ask him to rip it up and you will be in awe, feel inspired, and probably realize how far you have to go! Particularly helpful is his willingness to tailor learning pathways to your specific goals and tie in your favorite musicians and styles while also exposing you to cool, obscure, and interesting artists and genres. As a bonus, he will give you that good guitar wisdom, funny anecdotes, and show you that the instrument is a life-long passion project that requires curiosity about yourself and the world around you. Pretty helpful stuff!

Susan Leach has been providing flute lessons to my son over the past 2 years with the first year being virtual due to the pandemic. My son as a beginning flutist entered into his second year of middle school already propelled to the highest of 3 bands at school. Furthermore, he earned top tier position in performance by winning district level and competed at regionals within his first 3 months of playing flute with other musicians in a live non-virtual setting. Susan's capabilities as an outstanding musician are well established given her tenure as a professional flutist in orchestra of which she performs, but not just anyone can also take that level of talent and teach another person. She is flexible on schedule and always has been accommodating. Premier Music Academy as a business is fantastic at communication and every one of my engagements involved working directly for the owner and manager of the school. All that being said, Premier Music Academy is my ONLY recommended school for private instruction in the area and they offer a wide spectrum of top tier instructors across an array of wind, brass, string (including all styles of guitar), and percussion instrumentation (yes including Piano and Keyboard) along with vocal instruction as well.

What truly sets Neli apart, though, is her patience and passion for teaching. She creates a warm, encouraging environment that makes each lesson something to look forward to. Whether you're a beginner or looking to refine your skills, Neli has the expertise and dedication to help you achieve your musical goals. BTW all of my family members have been her student at some point of time. So that speaks volumes about how great she is!

Neli is a truly wonderful teacher that I cannot recommend highly enough! My two kids have taken…read moreyears of classes with her and so have I, starting as a total adult beginner. She is able to adjust her teaching style based on the student's maturity level and interests. Neli is constantly pushing you to improve but in a patient and nurturing way. What impresses me every time is comparing where I start with a piece of music and where I end up. The understanding of the piece, the subtle refinement, and the growth that I experience with every piece of music is truly inspiring. She encourages her students to record themselves playing the same piece at different times to witness that growth, and that is amazing to see. Students can participate in two recitals a year and those recitals are so, so amazing to watch and speak to her talent to develop her students' talents. Many of her students go on to compete at various levels and regularly earn highest awards. Some have even gone to college to major in music because of the love and understanding of music she helped develop. I can't recommend Neli highly enough for young kids, teens and adults!
