My daughter started piano with Ms. Masha a few months ago…read moreand we are very happy with her progress. My daughter is 6 years old and she loves going to piano class. She practices everyday without being asked to do so. Ms. Masha really sparked her interest in music. The pace of her teaching is great. My daughter is learning multiple piano pieces at every lesson. There is just the right amount of challenge to keep her interested and yearning for more. Ms. Masha also teaches piano theory, as well as piano history. As a parent, I enjoy sitting through my daughter's classes with Ms. Masha. I highly recommend her to anyone and if yelp would let me give her 10 stars, I would.

He really assists me in reading sheet music, breath control, and applying playing (fingering) skills! Adam demonstrated how to do proper techniques. Embouchures are very pertinent. The Saxophone Duets from lessons makes you feel like a pro!! Seriously! Since I am elated with playing instruments, I started taking Piano lessons with Mason. Guess where?? Yes!! VMS!! His teaching methodology for piano is outstanding as well. Reading the treble and bass clefs for piano at first seemed difficult. But once you concentrate it's achievable. He explained and demonstrated the proper posture for playing piano. In other words, No T-Rex style playing. Moreover, the VMS selection on instruments made me think of playing Saxophone and Piano. Sort of like taking Graduate classes; And I may pursue a music education. Furthermore, the experience, patience, and dedication from both VMS instructors are an exceptional value and compliment to get you where you desire to be, or that student you're sponsoring. As a result, VMS rekindled my innate passion to play instruments and that's valuable... and I quote... "It's never to late to learn!" I'm on my way to being a musician... "I LOVE IT!!"

My experience was simply UNPROFESSIONAL... At first, I received a formal text confirming a trial…read moreclass for my daughter for Saturday at 10am, I confirmed back saying great see you then! When we arrived there was no one to greet us and we had to ask around the building about any contact for DEA... we were able to speak to the owner of Eye Level who is located downstairs and he was very helpful and was apologetic about our appointment not being met. The owner of Eye Level said the owner wasn't answering her cell phone or the office line therefore he wasn't sure what to do but apologize... I left expecting an apologetic call from anyone at DEA, instead I get a TEXT about A FEW DAYS LATER saying they were it was for another Saturday and they didn't confirm the date. NO SORRY was included in that text. I forgave the situation as I know life throws us lemons and said ok no problem and rescheduled the trial for the following Thursday evening.... My daughter was welcomed formally and the instructor even let me other two younger sons in the trial class with them which I loved. Afterwards there was again no one to speak with about what the trial was about, I had to go to the receptionist and ask all the questions and mainly see if there was any selling information for me to try to get my children into any of the performing arts programs... The receptionist "Francesca" at first didn't want me to take the registration paper home to consider enrolling my children, I had to ask for a pen/pencil, then let she let me keep the paper and had me write all the pricing and then said I can think about it and she would call me in 1-2 days to follow-up. Well, it's been two weeks and I haven't heard anything. I liked the school atmosphere however the front office service was very unaccommodating for any person who wanted to generally inquire about the school. There were no printed marketing materials for take-home and no follow-up calls. I was considering sending my daughter to this school and even my son because I liked the benefit of working with children in regards to performing arts however for the price and the lack of organization I'd rather look into other options.

I have 2 grandsons going for piano lessons for a little over 11/2 years now on a weekly basis…read more When I bought a keyboard for christmas, I waited to see if they would take an interest without forcing it on them. They started playing by ear and watching videos, but I wanted them to learn how to "read music" I also wanted them to focus on something more constructive than video games etc. I am amazed at the progress they've achieved and want to acknowledge their teacher, Jordan for his patience and encouragement. 2 teenagers with ADHD that lacked confidence and would be easily discouraged are continuing to learn and enjoying playing the piano by reading music and placing their fingers correctly on the keys. I am grateful!
