She has been taking a weekly 45 min. bass lesson and attending the 3 hr performance practice every Tuesday. It is a commitment, but our daughter can play bass !!! She likes that she practices every Tuesday with other students. There are many life lessons in learning to play with student musicians. DJ Blackrick owns the two Pittsburgh locations - Wexford and Castle Shannon. He has a staff of not just great musicians but great teachers. My only criticism is sometimes the communication can be better in regards to song assigments. Any issue we have ever had was addressed quickly. DJ is aware and hands on with his business. If you're kid wants to learn to play music, it's a great place. Plus, it's just really cool.

Highly recommend as an extracurricular, especially for music-loving kids!

We live in the south hills and the local vendor wanted $400 and two months to fix up the flute. Brighton Music Center in the north hills phoned about two weeks after we brought it in and gave us an estimate. We were informed the flute pads contained mites so all the pads had to be replaced and the case interior was no longer useable. Another week went by and it was finished and ready for pick up. The total cost for replacing all the pads and a new Gator Pro case was still less than $400. I recommend them highly and worth the drive if you don't live close by.

The week long camp is a highlight of her summer! They dive right into learning Shakespeare, but they also have loads of fun summer games and activities as well. She has also been coached to participate in the Shakespeare competition hosted by Pittsburgh Public. The instructors worked one on one with the kids to hone their monologues and were with them every step of the way cheering them on and coaching them. It was incredible seeing them shine on the competition day! They also host classes and seminars throughout the year for kids of a variety of ages. Their programming is VERY affordable, especially compared to other drama related programs. Watching their productions is always a treat because they usually have unique takes on shows, so even if you've seen a specific play a number of times, you probably haven't seen it like you will at Steel City. I highly recommend either getting involved with education or seeing a performance of Steel City Shakespeare.
