I signed up for a "free trial lesson" for 6pm, was ready and waiting at 6 pm, got a text saying "Classes are behind by around 10 minutes, we will start around 6:10 pm", and then they proceeded to never show up to the lesson at all and never answer my texts. Don't waste your time and go to an actual professional music school.

My daughter just started taking piano lessons here, but we knew from the moment we walked in and met Katie that this was the place for us! Katie is great with my daughter and has tons of patience. She is super friendly and very attentive. You will feel spoiled from the moment you walk in the door! I highly recommend the studio!

Katie is an amazing vocal teacher, and my daughter has been a student for over 2 years. I have not had any trouble getting in touch with her as a previous reviewer mentioned.

Katie Parr is Amazing! Her vast array of knowledge and experience, combined with her passionate and kind nature makes her easily the best teacher I've studied with! She came very highly recommended and I couldn't be more thrilled with the work we do! She has made me feel so comfortable and helps bring out my inner confidence when performing! You won't find a more compassionate and caring teacher. I am proud to be her student and lucky to call her friend!

Highly recommended! I've been taking my daughter to Katie for lessons for just under two years and I have to say that my daughter has really improved her vocal skills and her confidence has definitely increased as well. The Academy itself is always a fun and family like environment. I really appreciate what Katie has taught my little girl. Thank you!

Katie Parr has taught me so much. After 15 years of training, she is by far the most knowledgeable coach I've had the pleasure of learning from. I've been with her studio for 3 years now and the confidence I've gained since then has been a game changer.

We love Katie and Kyle. We are so happy to be a part of their studio. My children have been taking lessons with them for 2 years and have recently graduated to perform with their concert tours. They really do things top notch here. My children are learning so many valuable lessons and having a lot of fun. Highly recommended. Very professional and excellent quality service.

This school is very reputable. They have a storefront on 114 and have been teaching in Southlake since 2002. Both teachers are well respected authors, have individually developed their own teaching methods and have a well organized and highly in depth performance program. In addition, they host 3 local concert tours for their students every year. The recording artist classes they offer give creative musicians a way to get their music out there.

They also have connections with major talent agencies and have helped talented students in connecting with them. When you enroll, you are required to pay your first and last month tuition. Looks like the previous reviewer didn't understand. Good lord, some people just don't understand that every business has a policy statement. My wife and I just wanted to post a nice review for these guys because they definitely deserve it. The massive amount of fun, encouragement, and experience our daughters have achieved in the past 2 years with Katie has been in one word "immeasurable"
