Danielle is a professional opera singer with a masters in music. When she sees one approach is not working, she modifies it so that my daughter can grasp the methodology and theory. In fact, she even helped my daughter prepare for her singing role in last year's school's play. I don't know that I could have found a better teacher for my child. I am thrilled.

I reach out to find a drum instructor and delt with Brandon Jones. Of course Brandon was great, and super responsive right up until the moment I paid for the lessons. A day after I paid, I got a text from the instructor saying he told TRM he wasn't taking any new students. I then text Brandon several times to help me find a new instructor and he completely ghosted me. When I reached out to both customer service and corporate all I got was voicemail. Custom service did return my call and agreed to refund my money, which is the only thing keeping this from being a 1 star review.

We had Gloria come out to teach guitar and violin and she did great! She was punctual and easy to communicate with. The company itself was a little hard to work with and hear back from in regards to finding new instructors but once I did they were very helpful.

I was an instructor and I wouldn't recommend anyone use this service. BEWARE OF THEIR PAYED FAKE REVIEWS. They charge people obscene amounts and offer instructors a fraction of the payment. I once asked them what was the total amount payed and I was told that "wasn't my place". Save yourself the money and create a personal agreement with the instructor. They are THIEFS

I would not recommend this company to anyone. If zero stars was an option that's what I would give them. After I had already signed up for a single lesson I got calls from three different people saying they saw I'd checked them out online and asked if I was interested in setting up an appointment. Then another person called and said my payment was not processed correctly and had to get my card information over the phone.
Two days before the lesson they called again to say the instructor was not accepting new students. I said I just wanted a refund and the customer service rep copied me on her sarcastic email requesting someone to refund my card.

I used this company about 2 years ago for drum lessons at home with very little problems, good teacher and good communication. This year, I tried to get my son a few drum lessons in the summer. What a MESS. communication was horrible, I was blown off 3 times in a row for the lessons and had to find someone else. I was given excuse after excuse. I dont know what happened to this business but hopefully they fix it.

TEN STARS! I was handed a Bass Guitar at 15 and I learned how to play songs but never any Music Theory just here's the song, go figure it out After playing in bands and 35 years of life, I decided to learn Music Theory and learn intermediate type Bass Guitar Taylor Robinson was the best decision I could have made! I noticed the sheet music has chords listed, even for bass so I told my teacher I want to learn to play chord progressions on my bass!
Lead guitarists memorize the chord progression to Solo over it so that's what I want and it's working! My teacher finds the excersises and drills I need as well as showing me the one on one the proper form and technique to play up and down the fretboard I having a blast and other musicians are asking to jam with me and recording it!

We were looking for a different guitar teacher for our daughter and found this company that offer a large range of instructors and so looked for what we needed and took a package deal with instructor roman. Our daughter likes his style of teaching and we see that just in a couple of lessons she already improving more that with the other teacher that she had for few years prior, so for us great company.

Do NOT waste your money or time with these jerks. They hire cookie cutter vocal coaches or really, really terrible coaches who know nothing about the voice and how to expand its range. I had one coach who actually suggested I look up songs by MICHAEL JACKSON. I am a female singer whose genre is hard rock. He went off camera a few times besies. They refused to refund and instead gave me coach after coach.
In the end, when I insisted because I was not getting what I paid for, the guy on the phone was inflammatory, condescending and outright RUDE. Seriously, just look up coaches in your area.there are a TON. Ask for what you need up front and NEVER buy a package deal, especially from TR. Sickening to know they enjoy ripping people off.

If you are seeking lessons for yourself or for your child, I urge you to think twice before signing up for lessons with this company (or any other online music lesson business that contracts out music instructors for that matter). They do not require a face-to-face interview with their instructors; rather they opt for a phone interview. This means that they do not in any way take the time to assess the musical skills or teaching skills of their instructors.
Any legitimate school or business will always take the time to personally meet any potential instructors, and will most certainly require that they audition for the job. The quality of an instructor you will get from a business such as this will surely be a gamble. Take the time to seek out a legitimate instructor in your community that you can meet face to face with, or find an accredited school to attend. It will be well worth the extra work in the end.

Horrible! This company sent aggressive sales calls and emails and voicemails twice daily, the receptionist set me up with a coach that did not meet the needs I requested and I learned later that she set me up with her husband, who was undereducated for a coach and told me that women only have a head - voice and that's all they sing with(incorrect), and the lesson prices were extremely unreasonable, especially for the poor quality of the coaching I received.
They say lessons are only $45 per hour, but that is if you purchase a certain number of lessons and pay for them all up front - otherwise they are $60-$80 depending on the coach! I found a reputable coach elsewhere that really coaches! You don't have to go through a company like this to receive excellent quality coaching at a reasonable price - don't let them fool you!

David and I just wanted to express our sincere gratitude and excitement about Sarah's progress with your lessons. Important to us as parents, you have been reliable, knowledgeable and flexible enough to allow Sarah to develop her musical skills during private lessons. Your enthusiasm is contagious and actually bringing her into the recording studio brought her to a new level of commitment. Add to this the unparalleled opportunity of performing on-stage with accomplished, professional musicians, and this has been an amazing 18 months!
Compared to the two years that our son, Chris spent with a different guitar instructor, it was definitely less successful.
He's looking forward to coming home from college during the break, and continuing his lessons with you instead. Thank you again for your professionalism and for making Sarah feel that all of the hard work is fun!

I would like to say that I just started taking lessons from Steve and he has done a great job in my case. It took a lot of time to find out which instructor would be the best fit both for me as a person and for the type of music that I would like to learn to play. I am in my 40's and starting something new at this age is frustrating, but Steve expresses interest in you as a person and as a player which has made it very easy. In my first four lessons I can actually play a couple of songs that he has taught me. I would recommend him to everyone, no matter your age.
