My son just started SOR with private lessons/Group101 and has been involved in the the last two…read moresummer camps. He absolutely loves it and loves the fact that he's learning to form chords already and getting to play songs he knows in a group setting. Earlier this year, my husband and I were in the very first 2 adult band sessions learning and performing songs live from the 80s and 90s. You might want to have some basic instrumental/vocal experience for the adult sessions. We really hit the ground running and were playing full songs by first session but don't let that stop you. Everyone, including the instructors, are incredibly supportive. Highly recommend the programs here for the young and older. It's a complete blast.

The teacher should be prompt and be setup before the start time of the lesson... not a good first impression with me and I'm the one paying. My son has only had one lesson so far, so this rating will definitely change as we go on.

I have been going to guitar lessons with Dirk for over a year now. I tried guitar lessons once…read morebefore -- and the instructor and I just didn't "click". I am a 38-year old woman, who loves to sing and have always wanted a way to accompany myself -- I love cheesy music (read: boring ballads) and have zero aspirations of being a rock star (although I have played at one open mic). Dirk has been the perfect instructor for me -- he is the right balance of helping you find inspiration in songs that you actually enjoy and also providing structure and exercises to increase your playing ability. He is fun, and patient, and supportive! He always has suggestions for songs that I may like -- and he's usually spot on! I'll also surprise him with songs that I want to try in lessons -- and he'll sit there and work them out with me on the spot. He's also been super patient with me -- as an adult learner, guitar obviously isn't my primary focus. Life gets in the way sometimes -- and Dirk has never once pushed. He has gently reminded me of my guitar goals in a way that is exactly what I need to get me on track when I have been distracted (sometimes missing 1-2 months of lessons). I drive 45 minutes from Arlington, VA to guitar lessons -- and I ALWAYS look forward to it (even when I'm embarrassed if I haven't practiced as much as I should have)! His joy for the instrument and music in general is infectious. If you want to pick up the guitar, definitely give Dirk a shot -- he's absolutely wonderful!

One male teacher made my 12yo daughter feel so uncomfortable that we had to end the lessons. Another would just forget to come sometimes. The value is limited because their policy around rescheduling is so restrictive, even while their own instructors regularly move or cancel sessions. So if your child is sick or you travel or there is an emergency, you will still pay for the lesson. Even though it is convenient to have lessons in your home, the instructors weren't good enough to make this worth it over time.

I can't say enough about what a wonderful music program this is for young children. My son and I…read morehave taken 3 classes so far with Music Together Sing and Groove. Two of those classes were with Rhythm kids. This class is wonderful for my active boy. We've done one in-person class and two virtual classes. I was skeptical about the virtual class, however it's perfect for my son in the late afternoon when its hard to get him out of the house and his energy is a little lower. We have taken classes with Linda and Jennifer and they are both so fun and engaging. They are so good at working with preschoolers. They ask questions of the children to get them thinking and to keep them engaged. They are funny and energetic and always smiling. They never ever tell a child to sit and listen. They respect every child's individual needs whether s/he needs to sit or move around, pay attention or not. I can't say enough about these teachers. After several weeks of taking his first music class, I heard my kiddo playing out the rhythm patterns. He's also started making up his own songs. He gets excited to find fermatas and rests in sheets of music. He talks about piano and forte. I see him growing and really appreciating music. On another note, the music is wonderful. We've kept every album from each class and listen to them frequently. It's easy on adult ears too. You know you like an album when you listen to it alone in your car! I highly recommend this program for anyone interested in developing their child's musical knowledge and appreciation.
