Dr Ivona Kaminska was my son's piano teacher from kindergarten through eighth grade…read more Ivona is an exceptional teacher and a very talented pianist. She is knowledgeable, kind, and patient. John made an incredible progress with his piano study under Ivona's guidance. He also enjoyed many opportunities to participate in local and international festivals/competitions. John loved his teacher and worked very hard to please her. I am thankful that he had the opportunity to learn under Ms Ivona. He will carry skills that were taught him and the love of music. I would highly recommend Dr Kaminska as a piano teacher for any student! Alina Rose

I would not be the musician I am today without studying 12 years under Dr. Ivona Kaminska. From the…read morestart, she helped shape my technique in a very digestible way, and developed my artistry and sensitivity to music throughout my tutelage. Dr. Kaminska is a very interactive teacher and shows that she genuinely cares, helping me mature as a pianist and as a person. As I got older, Ivona helped connect me with established professors like: Julian Martin (Juilliard School of Music), Dr Logan Skelton: (University of Michigan), Francesco Nicolosii (Thalberg Institute, Italy), and Albert Atanelle (Liceu Conservatory), giving me the privilege to perform for them in private masterclasses, exposing me to new perspectives and broadening my scope of possible interpretation and artistic expression on the piano.

I get up early in the morning to make sure we get a spot every time registration opens up. The curriculum is so rich. It is thoughtful, calming, and I can see my son's eyes light up with wonder with every new activity. We've been in class with Miss Jenny and Miss Monica and they are the BEST! Miss Jenny has taught me several parenting tricks like how to sing to my child through transitions, diaper changes, and more. The owners are also organized, responsive, and wonderful communicators. We did try the infant massage class and while my little guy didn't sit still in that class...we took those skills home and actually still use the same massage technique at bedtime. My son looks forward to it. If you have to choose one activity for your child, I'd highly recommend musicology. I wish all parents had access!

To have the patience and calm demeanor to teach kids an instrument is the most important quality to…read morehave as a piano teacher (or any teacher). Celia not only has these qualities, but her bubbly and positive demeanor are all encouraging for students to keep at their lessons (and practice). Her availability for lessons is accommodating to all types of schedules, including working parents and she is very easy to communicate with. the process of learning the piano is sometimes frustrating but Celia goes out of her way to encourage and lift you up so you don't get too down on yourself. The improvement can be seen with each new lesson. I can't recommend her more for lessons, especially these days when things are so negative. She is a bright light! ;)

My son has been taking weekly saxophone lessons at Music Masters with the same instructor for over…read more5 years. We are extremely happy with the progress he has made and the quality of his lessons. He also took guitar lessons for several years from two different instructors at Music Masters, both of which he really enjoyed. Both my daughter and son have rented their musical instruments with Milano at Music Masters. Repairs are never a downtime issue, as the instrument is swapped out for a new one if there is ever a problem. Milano also has a very generous rental credit program toward purchase of a new instrument, (at the Milano Music Store in Mesa) which both of my children took advantage of as they became more proficient. Music Master sells all books, music, reeds, strings, cleaning materials etc. that a student musician would need. Staff is friendly and always able to lend advice when asked. Quality lessons and fairly priced. The location is close to our home. I would, without any hesitation, suggest Music Masters to anyone wanting to take music lessons or rent instruments.

I really appreciate the individual customer service I get, like having my favorite picks available or checking into ukulele pick-ups and the offbeat jokel. Monty has fixed my guitars when they were broke and he does a great job! He did not charge me for it and I am super appreciative. He has helped me with my ukulele, also. As a music teacher, I really am impressed with my guitar teacher, Rich; he's amazingly well versed at playing (and teaching) many different genres and I am always inspired to practice more. Thanks for having a great place with quality and personality for music and lessons!!

I know how to set up guitars, just too lazy. I will save money this way.

Our two sons have taken music lessons at Phoenix Music Lessons for two years. The amazing part of…read moreworking with these guys has been how they have adapted to meet the new challenges of working in a COVID environment. One boys takes drum lessons, and the other takes Guitar. Both of my boys now conduct their weekly musics lessons online! I'm amazed at how the instructor can use Skype to give coaching with the same level of quality of being there in-person. Truth be told - I think we almost prefer the convenience of the in home lessons. Great job Arik and Kurt - we are happy to support your business. Thanks for all you do for the kids!

TODAY - I am contacted with an explanation that "I honestly thought you were probably a good person but I felt a dislike towards me right away. That energy was truly difficult for me to deal with." His "concerned" response concluded with this: "PS. I once had a doctor do surgery on my knee. I really disliked him (really this guy was a jerk) but I knew he was an expert..... My knee works great again. :)" Since 12/23/2014 (again five months after my initial review) - the Owner has contacted me several times via personal email 3-4 and 1x telephone (actually left a message) - surreptitiously attempting to convince me to edit/delete or otherwise alter my review. I find the Owner's contact inappropriate and borderline harassing. I rejected his offers of a refund as that is not the intent of my review - rather to advise others of my experience. The Owner provided a service- and was compensated for his service. My opinion is this Owner does not take kindly to those with opposing/differing views. Unprofessional and inappropriate boundaries.

Dr. Michele Cohen is an excellent instructor, so if you desire to improve your piano skills, I…read morecertainly recommend signing up for lessons. I had taken lessons as a kid for no more than 3 years, then never touched a piano again for 30+ years, until I had my own kids and we bought a piano for them. then I had to start learning how to play again on my own. Many years later, I decided I needed help and signed up with Dr Cohen. She quickly spotted my bad habits/techniques and we worked on correcting them. She also gave me some new and challenging pieces to work on. I have enjoy the new music as well and Dr Cohen's abilities and teaching/coaching style. As final proof the lessons are working, my girlfriend/partner says after just a few lessons that she already notices an improvement in my playing. Can't argue with that endorsement. :)
