Mike Dale is the kind of music teacher you hope your kid gets lucky enough to find. My son worked…read morewith him for several years, and even though he had to pause lessons when high school life got hectic, the skills and confidence he gained with Mike have stuck with him. He's a better musician and a better listener because of it. Mike knows his stuff, but more importantly--he knows how to make music fun. He found the styles that lit my son up and used them as a springboard to gently nudge him into new musical territory. During COVID, Mike didn't skip a beat--he had the online teaching thing dialed in and kept his students learning, engaged, and smiling. His recitals were a blast--not your typical stiff performances, but something that made the kids feel proud and excited to show what they'd learned. If you want a teacher who brings both talent and heart to the table, Mike's your guy.

I've had drum teachers that would teach a certain skill, I'd go home and practice all week, then come back the next weekand the teacher would never mention the previous lesson. I love that Mike teaches in a logical, step-by-step method building upon previously learned lessons. He is always positive and helpful. When I make mistakes while playing he shows how to break it down and slow down until I've perfected the difficult section. He gives positive encouragement and makes me feel like a Rockstar!

My husband was going to use Gary for lessons. Before he started I explained he had back issues, and…read moremay miss lessons on occasion, but would be willing to make them up other days. During the practice lesson Gary kept yawning and seemed like he could barely stay awake at 2pm on a Wednesday. The day before my first full lesson my grandfather got a flat tire, and my husband was the only one who could help. While changing the flat tire he threw his back out. Later that same day he found out he would need to accompany the same grandfather to an appointment at the VA. He sent Gary a message at 10:45 about his back for that week, and a second message saying he would need to do the lesson the following week on a different day the week after, He sent him another message at 6:30 to see if he had gotten the others, lastly I called shortly after 8pm. Gary didn't respond until the next day when my husband sent a message saying he wouldn't be using his service, and would like a refund of the money that had been prepaid. This was sent at 10:46 AM. Gary at 10:52 which I could write off as a fluke, but previous texts about using his service, and pricing had all been responded to within five minutes. His response was full of excuses, going so far as to say I hadn't contacted him until well after 4. I sent him a screenshot showing the several texts I had sent him, to which he replied there was no need to be cynical and that he had more students than he could handle. He also mentioned he couldn't check his phone during lessons, the problem with that is my husband witnessed him checking his phone, and responding to text messages during the trial lesson. Going a step further all texts regarding money were responded to within five minutes. After requesting the refund my husband had to tell Gary several times to stop contacting him unless he needed to inorder to facilitate the refund. He instead sent him several more text messages (that I considered rude in nature), and called him. It only stopped when we threatened to have the police involved for electronic harassment. Hopefully this will stop him from further harassment. Additionally it took several text messages to get him to simply refund the money. Eventually we did get the refund. Based on what it took to finally get the refund taken care of I would suggest that if you're going to use Gary's service you pay on a per lesson basis once you're at the lesson. I don't know if Gary was being snyde about the situation, or if he simply hadn't paid attention to when things were coming in, but his texts and his home call made me 100% certain we had made the right choice in choosing not to retain his services. I would suggest to anyone else considering Gary they look elsewhere. The review left by my husband was marked as not recommended because he used a secondary yelp account to respond to Gary's response. His response made me think even less of Gary who instead of addressing the issues brought up in the post started talking about giving people guitars, and how not responding to text messages until he was told we wouldn't be using him was because he didn't feel responses were necessary. As well as various other things that had no relevance to the review. He then said he would be glad to share the text messages with anyone. My husband is more then happy to do the same. In fact he will go one step further, and share voicemails left by Gary after he had been told several times to stop contacting us. I appreciate that Gary has spent time building his business. I would imagine most people have put a lot of time into their selected profession. So when Gary also used this as part of his response to a bad review it came across like a person who insists on being on the cross. Lastly and directed to Gary if you tell people what to bring to a lesson you wouldn't have to give away the $0.60 three hole binders. You wouldn't have to give students any of the other things you claimed to have simply given to people like guitars.

The Utah Piano Conservatory provides a unique lesson structure for students of all ages. There is a…read moreweekly 90 minute lesson broken up into 20 minutes of a solo that students choose, 20 minutes of LDS hymns, 20 minutes with a piano-computer program called piano marvel, and 30 minutes of a music theory lab. A subscription to piano marvel also comes with the lessons. Each teacher is either a current student or graduate of a bachelor's in piano, and the students get to go to a new teacher for each 20 minute segment to learn from different styles and personalities. It's the same price you'd pay for a private teacher of the same level of education and everyone is extremely friendly and outgoing. Just upstairs from Brigham Larson Pianos, you can buy a piano and learn how to play it in the same building! There are regular quarterly recitals and fun incentives for the kids for their practicing as well as fun additional challenges and drawings regularly for prizes such as ipads.

I was more concerned about the knowledge of the instructor and his attitude and demeanor than just the fact that he could play the guitar. I went to some "free" first lessons offered by other instructors and was not impressed with any of them. I looked on the internet and found Dylan Baker. This guy in truly incredible. He is patient and very knowledgeable. Unlike the other guys, he is genuinely concerned about your progress. He gives you his phone number so you can contact him with any questions. He wants to see you succeed and enjoy what you are doing along the way. He has great skills and it is obvious that he absolutely loves music. My biggest regret is the fact that Dylan was not around when I was encouraging my son to take guitar lessons years ago. If you are looking for a guitar teacher who is kind, extremely bright and committed to your success, look no further.

Admittedly, I've forgotten most of what my piano teacher did her level best to teach me when I was growing up, but that by no means that Primo's off the hook for getting some quality music education. Fortunately, we have the Utah Conservatory to provide that opportunity. I started him in the fall with violin lessons. (The choices for his age are piano or violin; I figured the violin was the one since we don't have a piano.) Caitlin, his teacher, has been patient, oh so kind, encouraging, and energetic - exactly the kind of person to teach a less than enthusiastic seven year old. Along with lessons are the usual recitals as well as the occasional master class. Primo attended one recently where they played for each other, and played music games like violin bingo, and watched a video on how violins are made. While Primo is far from being a virtuoso, that is only from the weak practicing habits, not a testament to the instruction. (Perhaps if I was more of a "Tiger Mother"... ) The Utah Conservatory offers a wide range of classes, with a faculty full of dedicated professionals. I am grateful to have this school available to us in Park City; they are a top notch operation and I would normally expect to have to go into the big city for such services. Primo might not be the next Yo-yo Ma, (then again, who knows? If we got some solid practicing going on....) but at least he's getting a good start with his music education at Utah Conservatory!
