This company does not deserve even one star. The manager of all locations, Emily, told me (when I expressed my dissatisfaction and disappointment with the way they treat their customers) we will still be the best company in the DFW area anyway. She was extremely rude and arrogant and I hope she and the owner of this place, Kacey get whats coming to him. If he doesnt run this place better, Someone will file a lawsuit because they are nothing but a scam company.
1) I received a call on August 12 to sign my son up.
Apparently I signed him up (I knew this when I was charged $548 early sept) but they cant conveniently pull up the recording from that day. And any phone commitment (ie- sign up for classes) apparently is a phone contract and you cannot back away from it. I told them I dont want to sign my son up and needed time to think about it. But the manager ofc states that I signed my son up. Lets say I signed him up- he didnt attend any of the classes in August but I didnt receive any notification of me signing him up in the first place or of missed classes.
I tried calling them multiple times to understand what was going on- mind you- I never got a call back. I had to ask my sister in law to pretend to be a potential customer to actually talk to them. They never did anything about it.
2) I signed my daughter up for voice lessons with Kacey, the owner for a 30 min lesson on August 19. He automatically and conveniently signed me up for 1 hour. I availed the first two classes without realizing and nor did it strike me as I had other pick ups and drop offs to do.
I immediately called the studio after the second class- and told them Im NOT looking for a refund for the first two classes since my daughter attended it/ even though the extra 30 mins was a mistake from their end- all I wanted them to do is fix the mistake and move it back to 30 mins for the remainder classes. They refused to do that.
3) They bind you into an awful contract - first of all- over the phone if you say youre going to take classes- then you cannot make any changes.
And once you start classes, they need a 30 day notice to cancel- or even change class timing from 1 hour to 30 mins. Im sure it wouldnt be the same the other way around- if I wanted to move it from 30 to 1 hour- they will make it happen because there is more money involved. This is just a money making scheme- dont get sucked into it. I made my mistake and Im posting this so you dont make yours. I wont be surprised if they respond to this with unbelievable tale to justify themselves- but after the kind of staff I spoke with- I wont be surprised.
I emailed Kacy- I spoke with Emily and Ashley- they were all either non responsive or couldnt care less.
Lastly I should have seen these terrible reviews they had on Reddit before joining. You can see it for yourself. It doesnt matter which branch- this company has poor customer service policies and customers are not first.

My son has been attending classes here for 2 and a half years and he really loves this school. The teachers and staff are all nice and supportive. He has been here for some time now and has had a very positive experience, which is why I am looking forward to enrolling my younger child in this school as well.

We signed our son up for piano lessons at Creative Soul in Southlake about 6 months ago. Today, he had his first recital and this is what he has to say:
I've had a great experience playing my first song on stage in Fort Worth. The teachers are amazing. Isaiah is my teacher and he is really nice and fun. He helped me a lot with my song. The Soul family is also really nice.

What an amazing place to learn! We've been so fortunate to find Creative Soul and take weekly piano as well as summer camp. The school is so responsive, easy to work with and knowledgeable! Our performer has blossomed and learn so much so quickly. She looks forward to lessons, camp and recitals. The twice a year recitals are so great. They're 1 hour long and so efficient. Definitely check them out.

Creative Soul Music School has been a very rewarding experience for my child. The recent recital was very enjoyable and all the performers did so well. One thing about the school is its staff and teachers. Mr Micah is able to engage his students in such a way that he brings out their personalities and talent. I would recommend this school to anyone who wants to give their children a unique and rewarding experience while having fun learning.

Fantastic teachers. Michael is definitely the best piano teacher that I have ever worked with. His ability to adapt the way he teaches with my ADHD daughter has led to strong engagement, continued interest and natural musical growth by her. Atmosphere in the whole school is wonderful!

My daughter has been attending here since she was 3 years old, and this has been an amazing experience for her, after 2 years she has now moved up to piano lessons, i have seen how she has been progressing, and the recitals every year help her to not be shy. Overall I am very grateful with the school and I look forward to seeing my daughter learning to play piano, and being able to play a whole song during a recital, with the amazing teachers she has, i know that is how it will be!

My daughter Emma has been taking bass lessons with Aiden now for almost a year and a half now, and we couldn't be more impressed or thankful for his patience and tutelage. Emma loves music and loves playing the bass, and we count ourselves lucky to call Creative Soul our music school.

We love it here! Their focus is fully on the students. It is hard to find activities that are not all about the money these days but this school is great. The staff is kind and flexible. If you take advantage of the "makeup days" you could get a total of 2.5 hours of practice a week. And these days are at no additional cost to you! So glad we found them. They were a little persistent when I sent my initial inquiry but honestly- with how busy I am- I needed the constant reminder.

Creative Soul is a wonderful place to learn music for kids and adults! The owners and staff are passionate about what they do. My daughter's teacher Allen is so cool, talented, passionate and patient and I can tell all of his students have a great rapport with him. They teach what you want to learn which I think really keeps people engaged. At first I was nervous about the quick push to perform in recitals, but I think it pushes her to focus on the craft and is good for her confidence and self esteem. My daughter is learning piano and I am amazed how quickly she is learning, I plan to pick up a lesson soon if time allows.

I have two children at the School and they love their teachers and enjoy their lessons. They both have well trained and musically educated tutors with years of experience as professional musicians. Some of the reviews complain about scheduling issues, we all call out from work when we have emergency situations and at times it is last minute, nature of emergencies. I have no problem with communication as I have had very responsive experiences when I have to get in touch with school personnel. The option for email, text or phone call. The performance at the the theater is fun and exciting for us and the kids.

The music school requested an additional annual fee be paid prior to a year from the first fee (in June 2021). They did not mention the second "annual" fee when I registered. My son is not able to take lessons because all of our classes were cancelled immediately after calling Creative Soul Music School to give them the 30 day notice before the lessons were actually supposed to be cancelled. They only gave me options to either pay the unfair additional annual fee and continue taking classes or pay for a full month's classes without being able to take the lessons in that time (that would still have to be paid for). I do not believe it is fair that Creative Soul should be able to charge for a month of classes after the cancellation notice but block us from taking the classes in that month.

I'm an adult taking guitar lessons at the Fort Worth facility and I absolutely enjoy myself! My teacher is patient and attentive while ensuring I fully grasp the lesson before moving on to the next. The receptionist Allison is amazing! She has to be one of the nicest people I've met. Also, due to my work schedule, I sometimes have to reschedule. The options given and the way they work around your schedule is another reason I enjoy Creative Soul. Great program to the owner Casey!

We cannot say enough about Creative Soul Music School. Our kids enjoyed every aspect and learned a great deal, which was displayed at a beautiful recital event. The school is professional in communication, helping us with seasonal changes for lesson times. Angel is an amazing instructor! It was wonderful to see our kids excited to go to their lesson AND come home talking about it!

I cannot say enough about this facility about being so awesome. My son has been going to Ms Erica since he was 3 and now he 4 year old and he plays such good piano. She has so much patience with little kids. Casey, the owner is so courteous and considering. I met him first time at the recitals and he made sure all the musicians are comfortable rather than being perfect, so that really helped out my son since he was very nervous to perform. This place hands down is awesome!

My son is having a wonderful music classes. He is enjoying the environment, encouragement given by his teacher. He loves to participate in Recitals and feels proud of himself. The milestone awards are really appreciable and highly encouraging for him. I have a small suggestion, can kids get some kind of participation certificate or some thing else after their recital on stage. The video and photos taken by us during the recital only stays but nothing beyond that.

My son and I started taking a mommy and me music class at Creative Soul when he was about 6 months old. He LOVED it! There are fun, interactive songs and toys and instruments that the kids are encouraged to play with. The teachers are well trained and very interactive with the kids. Definitely one of my son's favorite activities!

Such a great school in a fabulous location!! Kid central for sure! It's such a fun, happy place for kids and adults. Great decor that encourages creativity and exploration!! Maybe if I had a fun place like this to go for piano lessons as a child I would have stuck with it!?! My little boy loves the mommy and me class where he is encouraged to explore rhythm, movement, singing playing with instruments and interaction with the teacher and others. The teachers are engaging and passionate about music and kids and they truly make the learning process fun!!

Southlake's Creative Soul of Music is a fantastic place for kids of all ages to learn more about their passion. My daughter always looks forward to her lessons every week. Wether it's singing a challenging song, or learning a new chords on the piano, there is always something my daughter looks forward to! Creative Soul of Music is a laid back and fun atmosphere with an eclectic vibe... not what you see at most music schools.
