Before enrolling our two grade school boys for music lessons, we had searched for a music studio that had great instructors, convenient lesson times and was centrally located. We are so happy with Phoenix Music Lessons! Aric and Kurt are wonderful instructors (drums and guitar) who make music fun while also covering the basics of learning to play an instrument and reading music. I highly recommend this studio!

Aric is excellent at teaching young children piano. Kurt is the sweetest, least intimidating guitar teacher. Excellent place.

Our daughter thoroughly enjoys her voice lessons with Anna and has grown so much in how she applies the techniques and skills she has learned. Anna is incredibly patient and detailed in her instruction providing instant student feedback, assessment and correction. We also appreciate Anna's genuine interest in bringing out each of her student's potential. She truly has a gift and natural talent, and we are blessed she is sharing it with her students. We are grateful to have found Anna, and we look forward to watching our daughter grow under Anna's wing.

My son started to take piano classes several months ago with Anna Nyhart and we can't be happier. She is very patient, sweet, easy going and a great instructor. Anna is pulling out the best of my child. She encourages him to do his best and praises him. She even has a reward program. We are very lucky to have her. She is fantastic and her voice is heavenly.

Anna Nyhart has been my voice coach for the past year now and I have accomplished more of my goals, begun learning my strengths and weakness in my singing, as well as gain confidence in my voice and over come some of my fear of sing in front of others. I have has 5 other voice coaches and been in multiple choirs and Anna is by far the sweetest and best teacher I have had!

My son loves going to his voice lessons! He has learned SO much and I love how the instructor listens to him and helps him progress with his vocal range. The company is run very professionally and they are always accommodating with our schedule if we need to change our lesson. I have recommended them to many others and will continue!

It is difficult to find a piano teacher who is experienced with teaching students at a young age. I feel lucky to have found Phoenix Music Lessons for my daughter, who is 4. She is truly enthusiastic for her lessons. Sarah is very patient and knowledgable. She is an excellent teacher. Aric has substituted and is also a great teacher. I switched to home lessons for schedule and convenience sake. I am grateful that it was an easy transition. I have recommend their services to other parents in my daughter's class.

At 34 years of age I decided to learn a musical instrument and choose the piano cause I like to torture myself. Anyway after searching the valley I found Phoenix Music Lessons and started with Aric at their offices. After a few months I switched to home lessons and that is when Erica became my teacher. She is very knowledgable and has taught me a lot. I highly recommend Phoenix Music Lessons.

I have three children who take piano with Sarah and Aric. It's only been a couple of months and they are much further along than I ever expected. The location is convenient and you can observe your child's lesson, which I appreciate. We are very happy and expect to continue lessons for a long time.
