There are several things you need to know about this place:…read more 1) Parking is on the streets nearby and some meters allow one hour while some allow two. These are the old-fashioned meters so bring lots of quarters! 2) The website references teacherS (plural) but only provides a bio for one (and no pic). 3) It is MANDATORY for a parent (or guardian) to be with their child for the duration of the music lesson (1-1.5 hr depending on level). Note: unless you have been a kindergarden teacher, it may be disconcerting to hear 30 different kids banging cymbals, toy drum sticks and other "musical instruments" all at (or close to) the same time! 3) The teacher is a Brazilian woman who has traveled extensively, studied and taught music for much of her life. She is great with small kids (1-4 yr old) but in the 5-10 yr old group it's a different story: She has a VERY LOUD voice and sings the notes at the top of her lung capacity as she plays them on the piano (C C D D E E E E!!!!). The children follow along by playing the corresponding notes on their (individual) keyboards. Unfortunately, and w/o any warning, the teacher will keep singing her notes but then EXPECT the children to play something different (ie. melody or "accompinament" as she calls it).....BUT w/o giving any instruction to do so! 4) Class times are "approximate" since I've been told 3 different start times, none of which were accurate! 5) The cost is $15 for about 1/2 hr. of group piano instruction (beginner level) and is sold in a package of $225 for 9 lessons.

We participated in the 3- to 5-year-old intro to piano class as offered through the county rec…read moredepartment, and it was fine. A little over half the class was learning the parts of songs (notes, beat, etc.) and using different devices (balls, shakers, and even stick horses) to play while sticking to the rhythm or beat. The other 1/3 of the class was learning notes on the keyboard. Our teacher was patient and kind with the little kids, though lack of parent interest and ability to keep the kids on task made the whole class a bit chaotic. The school was founded by Mrs. Dourado, and she runs classes along with her adult children. Parking nearby is on-street or in a municipal garage about a block away. I can't comment on the merits of instruction for older children, but the program is a good introduction to music instruction for preschoolers.

Our boys (now 10 and 12) have been working with Jeff Doenges for almost 4 years…read more Thanks to Jeff, my kids both have solid foundations in piano technique and music theory. He is knowledgeable and experienced in the Russian approach to piano instruction. The kids are receptive to his teaching and reinforcement. Jeff is patient and understanding, and willing to accommodate each student's individual pace of learning and specific musical interests. Jeff hosts two recitals per year and it's always inspiring to see how all of his students have grown since the previous recital. He also fully prepares our children for the standardized music theory tests - he is knowledgeable of the material and keeps up to date on the changes to the tests throughout the years. Jeff is always prompt for our weekday evening lessons and accommodating when we ask him to flex the schedule in advance--which is important to us since we have hectic activity schedules. Not only have my kids learned about playing the piano, but they have also learned about discipline, hard work, and musical appreciation through this experience.

Overall; it has been a wonderful experience to have our children study with Jeff.

After 6 months of lessons, she was selected to sing a solo in her school's talent show in front of a large audience. It was great to see that progress.

If the boys get off track she gently redirects them and they continue.

They do what's good for them only - not allowing you to make up class if you don't give 5 hours notice (even if your child is sick) and yet they will call you 15 minutes into class that your child is in to tell you that class is suddenly 20 minutes shorter because not all of the kids showed up. They basically told me that their time is more precious than mine and if I don't like it, too bad. If you have kids who may get sick, a job or other obligations of any kind (i.e., real life), I would not recommend this place. Way too rigid and unwilling to keep paying customers happy.

I started as a complete beginner, not really knowing what to expect, mostly assuming that raw talent was a prerequisite to have a nice singing voice. It sounds silly now, but I really underestimated the technique and functional training required to sing. That's good news for me, because technique you can practice and improve, even if you're not born with raw talent :). Delia is great at explaining the technical aspects of singing and isolating problem areas either in a particular range of your voice or a part of a song. I learn something new at each lesson and feel that I make real progress, yet it's a relaxing and fun environment. For me, it's a time where I can de-stress, and think of nothing else except singing and music. I look forward to it each week.
