This place provides one-on-one musical instruments tutoring. Actually they have 2 locations in…read moreElmhurst. And we always go the one near the New Town Church. Majority of the tutors have the degree from the musical institutions. The tutor we have for years is very nice and also strict. Besides teaching all the musical knowledge and performing skills, they help the kids get prepared for the NYSSMA and RCM exams. My daughter's NYSSMA exam scores are always kept at "outstanding" and "excellent" without fail. Besides the tutoring classes, they also provide practicing time for students. They encourage customers having musical instruments at home, and provide refurbished piano at reasonable price. The price tag of their tutoring class is higher than the local peers, but has been kept the same for several years.

He is engaging, encouraging and so so nice (not to mention talented). My youngest took drums and made incredible progress. both of my children got to play in a rock band where they were paired with other students so they combine their talents. In the past, I've heard many performances by QMA rock bands formed with their students. They can really feel their accomplishments. I see many students coming to other lessons there. if interested, I highly recommend the QMA for learning music.

The Director of the school was always avail to answer questions. And for a neighborhood studio, the prices (monthly) were very reasonable - especially compared to Manahattan.

Have you ever had someone from your childhood that was so influential in your life that you think…read moreof them many years later? That is why I am writing this review. I was a student of Mrs. Bragin. She taught me and my Dad piano lessons when she was just starting out. We went to her apartment on Central Ave. And I attended the Belle School of Music in Yonkers for a little while in high school. Mrs Bragin was tough but fair. She called me out every time I didn't practice! She expected hard work but only because she saw my potential and my love for the piano. She was kind, caring and so generous with her time and expertise. I started off on a small spinet piano and when she suggested I get a larger, better, piano she met me and my Dad at the Kimball store to help find the best one. I have no doubt that any teachers she chooses to represent her school are going to be high quality and held to her standards. I know firsthand that these schools were her dream and she would not settle for mediocre in any way. It was a privilege and a blessing to have been taught by Mrs Bragin. I would recommend her and her schools a million times over. I could not have had a better teacher and mentor.

I am writing this review after thoroughly reading some of the other reviews. I can understand that…read morechoosing a place where you want to learn how to play piano can be a daunting task. You pay good money so you want effective teachers and lessons. I chose Belle School of Music one day on a whim. None of the locations are within a convenient location to me, but my son was assigned to a class in Scarsdale taught by Mrs. Helen. I will say first off that Mrs. Helen is amazing with the kids. She is firm when she needs to be but at the same time lovingly reassuring and helpful to the kids. She has shown nothing but expertise in her field and knows how to teach well. At first my son and I had a little trouble with her English but it was a matter of time before we got to understanding her just fine. I do agree and wish that maybe these lessons took place in more airy rooms with....windows perhaps. I at least know that the Scarsdale location doesn't have any windows. The lessons however are just one hour and so it isn't a deal breaker for me. Some people on here comment about class size. I would think anyone would appreciate a small and more intimate class. In our case it has allowed my son to get more one on one attention from Mrs. Helen and whenever the kids play solo it goes around quicker. A smaller class also helps her identify who is playing off key. I also am ok with the smaller recitals. They are in the same classroom and Mrs. Helen has always said bring all the family and friends you'd like. My son has always felt proud. In my case, this has been money well spent. He has learned good skills and will continue to do so. I have recently enrolled my daughter and hope she gets the same results.

I told her that I might not be able to use up those hours. Then, she promised me that they would issue me the refund if that happened. However, when I went there for the refund, the same lady told me that there would not be any refund. After I questioned her that this was not what she told me previously, she argued that she would never make such a promise and asked me for the prove. I will not recommend this place.
