Good set of Girls, obviously know what they are doing. Everything we asked for was done without quible and the quote was what we ended up paying, no nasty surprises.

The instructors are excellent and the atmosphere is very friendly. Another detail to keep in mind is that even adults can take lessons. It is never too late to lear how to play an instrument.

Maestro Maines and all of the Tampa Music School family are great people and know their stuff! You could not ask for a more professional, fun and inviting atmosphere for learning about music and instruments. I highly recommend this establishment.

What a great place! We just signed in my 5 year old, he took his first lesson and now he is counting the days for his next lesson. His teacher is very sweet and patience. I'll recommend Tampa music school for sure!

We've known Maestro Maines for many years, and the only thing more impressive than his musical/teaching skills is the quality of his character. You simply won't find a better man who truly lives by Christian principles. His wife and children are just as amazing, and you will be blessed when you become part of the Tampa Music School family!

My son has had a great experience with this music school. He has only been a student for 6 months and is already playing Hedwig's Theme. Diandra is such a great teacher, I can tell how much he has grown since switching to her.

So I've known Julie for years now, and there is no one else I would have picked to do my little sister's wedding flowers. My sister had a vague idea of what she wanted - wild and colourful (a bit like her). Julie took the brief and made the most perfect bouquets, buttonholes and centrepieces. I literally wouldn't have changed a thing! Thank you my flowery fairygodmother Mamma J and my very talented fairysister Chloe xxxxxxxx
