Arete Music Academy is the best music school I have ever been to. I've taken music lessons in the…read morepast and researched many schools and Arete has a system that works. Their approach to music is sustainable and they make music fun and easy to learn. My daughter started going to Arete music academy at 3 years old. She is now playing short piano songs and getting much better. My son was also part of the meet the instruments class and also started at 3 as well. He loves to sing and has developed a lifelong appreciation for music. I even took a few piano lessons myself and was very impressed with how much I was able to learn in such a short period of time. Their staff is top notch with the best credentials. In addition to being scholars of music, they are a nice group of people that interact well with people of all ages and backgrounds. Other things that I like about Arete are: 1) The academy is very neat and clean and well laid out with many sound proof music rooms. 2) They have the finest pianos, Steinway, Yamaha, Kawai which are excellent for taking lessons on and are perfectly tuned! 3) The office staff is very nice and easy to talk to. 4) Top music staff from all the best music universities. Not only do they know music in and out, they can teach it very effectively. 5) They have many programs for all ages and instruments. There is something for everyone. This is definitely hands down the best music school in the area. I wish this Academy was around when I was a child. I am looking forward to having my children become music scholars in the coming years.

Great store, better service…read more Very nice people to deal with, but more importantly very honest. We needed our trombone to get fixed and were quoted for over $100, and we agreed to it. When we picked up the trombone, they only charged us not even half of it since the repair was less complicated than they anticipated. They could have charged us with the oroginal amount agreed upon, but they took the high road and valued their customers more than few bucks. Will come back and recommend to everyone we know.

Unfortunately my child took piano for over a year here. She was taking 30 minute lessons but the…read moreteacher( I should say teachers because they kept hiring new ones) were consistently late and let them out early. So the classes were more like 20 minutes. I finally left for lessons elsewhere when I asked my mother to bring her one day as I was exhausted. They called me and refused to give her the lesson because I had not paid for the following four weeks yet. I had already paid for the day she was there! I offered to pay over the phone although I was not pleased as her current sessions had already been paid. However that was not good enough. They asked me to come by before they would begin her lesson to sign a new contract. I was appalled. I pulled her out and continued lessons elsewhere.
