A great place, great instructors. Time with the instructor is fun and lighthearted making learning possible, even "for an Old Dog" that wants to learn a new trick.

What a terrific music school: well organized, gifted and excellent teachers, attention to the kids' interests, well planned out growth path for kids, periodic concerts and show of talents events - I could go on and on. Our teacher was Scott, and my son enjoyed every lesson with him. Scott is a talented musician and a talented teacher simultaneously. He is a very inspiring, thorough and a gentle teacher.
When my son wanted to sing in addition to playing piano, Scott took out the time to find an excellent set of songs that were liked by my son and fit my son's vocal capabilities and skill level. This developed even more of my son's interest, confidence, and talent. Scott strikes a special accord with kids somehow. My son says Scott is the best teacher - thank you, Scott, so very much. We had to move to another state and we miss Scott and all of the teachers in Moscow Music Academy very much. Thank you Scott, Michelle, Emma, and everybody at MMA for your dedication, leadership, talent, and willingness to teach such a wonderful subject - a gift really - as music.
