I could not write a review that is good enough to describe how great this place is. I have been taking piano and accordion lessons with the Aman family, who own YMA (Young Musicians of America), for nearly twenty years. They are like family to me. Each of them is professionally trained and has been playing, competing, and composing music all their lives. Mike and Margie Aman also own Monarch accordions. Chad Aman is a professional jazz improvisation musician and has played in bands who gig at El Chapultepec, Dazzle, The Thin Man, Jazz at Jacks, and more. Kim and Dan Christian are about the best accordion players in the country. They all lead busy and fulfilling lives, but still they care about each and every person who walks through their door. They don't just teach music, they invest in their students' lives and lead by example. I am so grateful to know them and so lucky to be trained by them. read more
