My son started at School of Rock with a summer program two years ago. He's a middle child with…read moresuper high achieving older siblings and I loved that they immediately made him feel special. His drum teacher, Ryan, is absolutely amazing. He reinforces what my kid does well and encourages him to push himself and try new genres. He advocates for him to find songs that he likes and can do at just a little bit above his current level, so every season he grows. Not only does he help my kid with the rock performance, he is incredibly knowledgeable about NYSSMA and concert band performance. Then, COVID happened. SoR did not skip a beat. Online classes were about as good as online classes could be. And as soon as they could get back in person, they developed an impressive plan that met and far exceeded all safety recommendations: distancing; masks when possible, pods when not; temperature checks; outdoor concerts; microphone sanitation...every concern I could have thought of and more.

Learn from a working industry professional how to achieve your goals while learning to play the music that you love. I offer a customized curriculum based on your individual goals and learning style -- whether it's a traditional path of reading standard notation and studying scales and familiar pieces; or playing entirely by ear and reading guitar tablature; or something in between, I will make sure that you are getting the most out of your lessons and practice time to achieve your goals as quickly as possible. Everything has a purpose; I don't waste time teaching you something you won't use. If you study with me for years, as many students have, then eventually we will cover all facets of guitar playing and music in general, but the important thing from the start is to get you playing full songs - note for note - to your style.

Joan is clearly a master of her craft with tons of experience. She patiently answered my 10 billion questions about new piano ownership, and even took a lot of time to research specifics that were applicable to my piano, since it's a hybrid acoustic piano/digital "silent" piano. She also offered reasonable, practical, solutions and options to ensure optimal maintenance, for instance with maintaining ideal humidity levels in my home as well as potentially installing humidity controllers within the piano. Lastly, it's important to mention her prices were very reasonable. I can tell she really cares about what she does. On a side note, it was also extremely satisfying to watch and listen to her tune a piano. Very highly recommended!

As I waited I noticed a young couple at the counter. They were selling their equipment. But what got my attention was the rudeness of the guy behind the counter. He said things like "Your guitar is pretty much worthless". and it clearly wasn't. "Do I look excited about you getting your amp from your car?" and the topper was this "this should be fun, me playing my $3,000 guitar on your $5 amp". The girlfriend had enough and went outside. I joined her. Instead of introducing myself, I decided I didn't want to do business with people like that. There is no reason to treat people like garbage. All he had to do was say "I am sorry, but we don't have a need for what you are selling right now". I hope the guy left and went somewhere else to sell his stuff.

I'm glad that I stopped at Costa Piano Shoppes after reaching out to Suzanne over the phone. After speaking to both Suzanne and Michael, I selected a fantastic upright for my living room, which I feel that I got at a good price.

Suzanne even helped out a ton with the financing, which I appreciated. Less than a week later, Michael tuned my selected piano and delivered it to my house at no charge. I look forward to seeing the Costas again over the years as I have my piano tuned. As for now, I'm enjoying my practice sessions more than ever! Thanks!
