I have went here longer than 3 yoars, and the saxaphone instructor Nemo has been an integral part of my life since we met. It is very close nit and cozy, and it is a relaxing overall environment to be in. I also like their music bin, as I found many great things in there.

I have taken lessons here since I was in 6th grade and it was great. Lou Novak was my piano teacher and he is very knowledgeable and cares about his students. He even gave me a parting gift because I'm going to college and won't be able to continue my lessons with him. Overall, a great experience and I would recommend anyone here. The whole group of teachers there are very nice and are open to teaching you and even tightening their craft to better your education of the instrument you are learning.
