My daughter has enjoyed guitar lessons with Norberto. She has especially appreciated learning music theory from him. We're moving out of the area and will miss these lessons!

Really happy with this place. The waiting room is filled with arcade games and plenty of seating. The instructors are personable and professional and the owner is always available and accommodating. My son is really enjoying his piano lessons.

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.

My son has attended for almost 2 years. He loves it! He is currently at the summer camp and honestly this is the only camp he's done that he has to be the first one there because he loves it so much. He wakes up excited to go and eager to learn. He tells me about the songs they learned. This school truly helps him come out of his shell and he feels so comfortable there. Plus the teachers are awesome!

Tampa Music School is the premier musical education experience for anyone wanting to learn new music skills or better their existing ones. The Maestro runs his business with honesty and integrity, a rare find these days. I highly recommend this school to any and all current and aspiring musicians.
