Merrily's approach is very fluid, she has a million ways of approaching the individual and guiding their process.

Merrily works miracles with voices :). When I started taking lessons from her, I just assumed I…read morewould never be able to sing on key or understand how to use my voice. I started lessons, as a 50+ year old just because I enjoyed singing and wanted to try to improve, just in case it was possible. Merrily patiently built up voice exercises and was so encouraging at each step of the way. She made sure to understand what I was after and explained what each exercise was meant for and how to practice. Soon I actually surprised myself and was able to recognize notes and be able to sing on key with a strengthened voice. I recommend Merrily highly as a teacher, and if you are lucky enough for her to have open space in her teaching schedule, you should take lessons with her.

I have always known I needed help with certain aspects of my singing, but I didn't even know how to explain what I needed help with in a way that made sense. With Chris I feel I am finally going somewhere better with my voice and my understanding of what singing is. The first thing you notice when you are getting acquainted is that Chris has a pleasant and gracious presence. He is also fun/funny, yet task-oriented. I would imagine with his personality he could make any man, woman or child, whether an experienced vocalist or not, feel at ease enough to bust out singing and get to work! Chris is so good at telling you 1) what to work on 2) exactly how to work on it and 3) explaining why it will help, which is huge for me. After my first lesson I found myself practicing techniques and exercises he taught me and I almost jumped out of my skin at how much better he'd already made me. Teaching singing seems to be second nature to Chris. I truly feel he holds all the good info to give people to help them excel. Definitely try his lessons, whether you want to learn how to sing for the first time, get better at singing, or already sound like Mariah Carey but just want someone cool to hang out with!

It was reminiscent of Abby on Dance Moms. 10 minutes in, Tabitha complains that she isn't ready because "she's not following my directions all the way through". If you advertise that you work with children as young as 3 then have the experience, knowledge, and self esteem to understand that children learn through play and repetition. Also, since you are being paid for the lesson, allow a child to adjust to the new environment before formulating an opinion. After all, it's not like this is the Juilliard School of Music.

I was eager to find a quality extracurricular music program for my 3 and 5…read moreyear olds who love to sing, and Bach to Rock's website sounded great, unfortunately all that glitters is not gold. We had two Saturday Rock City classes here and each time the teacher was unprepared, starting late. My girls are social butterflies, but the kids are not engaged by the lessons which seem unprepared and unplanned. The kids are only introduced to musical concepts for maybe 8-10 mins of the 45 min class, the rest of the time they read books (that are unrelated to music), and/or color coloring sheets to burn time. I was expecting for my kids to be introduced to actual physical instruments that they could see in person and possibly play, not Amazon picture products on a tablet-- there is no curriculum. This being a class for young kids is no excuse-- make the lessons energetic and engaging and you'll captivate kids. I'm very disappointed; being new to the Central Texas area, I'm having a hard time finding quality programs for kids. I do not recommend this place if you're seeking to build your kids' musical prowess.

PLEASE READ---- BUYER BEWARE…read more I never write reviews but I certainly read other peoples reviews to help inform my opinion. However, this time, because of how poor the service was from management with Bach to Rock (B2R) and how unfriendly their policies and customer service are to address customer concerns I felt I owed it to others to understand it before you do music or band lessons with B2R. First, you are obligated to pay month to month. While not a big deal to commit to that it becomes a big deal because of their downstream policies. Let me explain. If you are signed up for a band, regardless of how much advance notice you provide to B2R that you are not able to make your weekly practice, if the rest of the band is not able to adjust their schedules you are out your money for that week. Given the price for each lesson, one lost lesson a month, which because of kiddos schedules is not uncommon can really be expense to not be able to reconcile that on behalf of the customer. They do not allow your child any other alternative times to make up their session, so that means you lose your money. Since you pay a month in advance, they also will not refund your money for that missed lesson. Even though the rest of the band may attend and the instructor still hosts the session and gets paid, regardless, they will not reimburse or give you a credit towards next months charges. So in essence they "lock" you in for the month and regardless of any personal circumstance or sufficient notice, they DO NOT CARE, and provide no recourse or refund. When I attempted to address this concern with management (Trinidad Agosto - Assistant Site Director) they were complete unconcerned, rude and unreasonable. They just kept repeating, this is our policy. Whether the policy provides no concern for the customer, they could care less. Thus, unless you are 100% confident that NO personal circumstances will arise, and that you will never need to miss or adjust a lesson I would advise you to find music lessons else where because will will become very frustrated and then it only gets compounded when you try and appeal to reason with management and they have no concern in the world to try and do the "right thing" on behalf of the customer. Signed frustrated customer that will never do business with B2R again.
