They are not just learning how to play the drums but they also learning the name of the instruments and the different sounds of the instruments which is awesome. I have no regret on enrolling my son here and definitely will continue till he grows up. :) Unik education is awesome and it's for all ages. Btw they have guitar, piano, voice lessons too. So cool!

Plus, my preferred guitar tech works here. His name is Sal. He is the only man I trust to work on my instruments.

They went above and beyond to get my guitar setup exactly how I wanted it. They're very fairly priced as well. A good friend recommended them to me.

Steven is an incredible teacher, I can't recommend him enough!!!…read more I am singer-songwriter that came to Steven with limited skills on the guitar and man oh man, he helped me so much. We worked on techniques and theory through different musical styles and rhythmic issues in my own music. He gave me so many tools that elevated my songwriting. He always listened to my concerns and frustrations with guitar and found creative and fun ways to solve them. Steven is an extremely talented musician himself but is also just a joy to be around. He is compassionate, positive and so patient. He really made me feel comfortable and that I was in a safe space, free of judgment - I'm someone who gets really nervous to play so for me, this was very helpful. No matter how you are looking to improve your knowledge of music/skills on guitar, Steven is the guy, he is the best around.

I can now say that I have been playing guitar for the majority of my life. I took lessons for about…read moretwo years in high school, but as an adult student I thought that with the vast amount of resources available online, there was no need for me to take private lessons. I spent years trying on my own to take my playing to the next level and get through various obstacles and challenges, and though there were victories, there were often times that I felt frustrated and discouraged. It often felt that I was learning bits and pieces of information that were a bit disconnected. I felt that I was a good player who had a bag of "guitar tricks," but I was not progressing the way I wanted to as a musician. Finally, I made the decision to try private lessons again. I found Steven here on Yelp, and since taking lessons with him, I have experienced an incredible amount of growth in my musicianship. Steven listened to my concerns and worked to address them with me from my very first lesson. Together we have been working on not only developing my skills as a guitar player, but as a musician, working towards building a more complete understanding of music theory and applying it to the fretboard. I have found that my practice is more focused and inspired because of my work with Steven and that was something I had begun to struggle with on my own. Whether you are just becoming acquainted with the guitar, or you are an accomplished player, Steven has the knowledge and resources to help you fall in love, (or fall in love again) with playing. I can't recommend Steven highly enough. My only regret is not taking the plunge several years earlier. If you can relate to my experience at all, don't isolate yourself or think that just because you've reached a certain level of playing you no longer need guitar lessons. Contact Steven and continue your journey as a musician.

I have been taking guitar lessons from Jared Barkan of Guitar Kung Fu off and on since March 2012…read more Jared is an amazing guitarist, one of the best I've encountered. It is a pleasure to hear him play. And whether he's showing you his Bach (yes, Bach on the guitar!) or you're sampling his Christmas CD,which was so awesome I bought copies for everyone I love, it is clear he is a master musician and talented artist. He also performs locally and I've enjoyed his performance wherein he showcases his own unique style and original tracks that are truly out of this world, fun, energetic, moving and poignant. I've also had him over to record songs for me, backing tracks to help inspire me to learn parts I can play with others and to fill out tracks I create with friends or on my own. And, Jared's talent extends effortlessly into his ability to teach. He breaks down concepts into bite-sized chunks that have helped me to learn whole songs and even perform at a friend's wedding. He's taught me anything I've asked, when I've asked him to. And he's also taught me to read short-hand tab which has been so helpful in learning strumming patters and phrasing. I've put in work to get better, but I wouldn't be where I am in my ability to play - and perform - if it weren't for Jared. If you're interested in learning to play guitar, I highly suggest contacting Jared. He will show you the way.

Jared is such a good teacher, and so unassuming, that it is easy to forget how talented he is as a…read moreplayer. Jared was recommended to us by another family with children who have been taking guitar lessons for years. They told us that he was, by far, the best teacher their children had ever had. My experience with him has been great. His ability to connect with both of my children during their first lesson made everyone happy. He is wise enough to realize that kids are more likely to practice and play when they are learning songs that they like. So he lets them choose their own songs. When my almost 11 year old daughter tells him what she wants to play (and he has no idea what the song is--Taylor Swift is not in his normal play list, I think :) ) she plays it for him on her iPod -and in under 5 minutes he is playing the song perfectly (humbling to us!) and able to write it out for my daughter to learn. He has been reliable, affordable compared with our other musical lessons and other guitar teachers we initially considered, and flexible with us and our crazy schedules. Cannot recommend him highly enough, but 5 starts is all they have.

Hayley has been teaching piano to my kids for over a year now. I originally got her name from a…read moreneighborhood list serve and I was thrilled that she would come to the house to teach my kids. I like how she uses a variety of methods so that they learn to read music as well as play by ear, create their own music, and learn both classical and popular songs. She organizes a few mellow recitals a year which is a fun way for the kids to learn about performance without pressure. She also creates age appropriate incentives which motivate the kids - stickers and prizes. She's great to work with since she's very reliable and professional, while being patient and kind with the kids. I highly recommend Hayley for piano lessons!

Brian is hands-down one of the best vocal coaches out there. He really understands the anatomy and…read morescience behind singing, and he explains what's happening in your body in a way that makes it easy to understand and recreate on your own. He's not cheap, but he's absolutely worth it if you want to learn efficiently instead of spending money on endless lessons that don't move the needle. I've been learning from him for almost a year, and I've learned so much more in that time than I did in four years at another studio. Thanks Brian!!

A little update here on yelp. It's only been four lessons, but I just wanted to take a moment to…read moreappreciate you by saying thank you very much for doing what you do!!! Music has always been there for me through many difficult parts of my life, but I've always felt like there was this gap between music and I that I could never close. I never felt like I had any talent to immerse myself, or further myself in it. Always just singing to myself, or when I'm alone, because that's the only time I have the courage to explore my voice. I have to say I've never felt this great singing before and it's only been four lessons. This year for me is big on self investment and rediscovering myself and where my interests/passion lies. You've gotta take some risks in life sometimes and taking a chance on vocal lessons with you has been by far one of the best decisions I've made in a while!. I'm still super stoked and I'm looking forward to what's to come!! Thanks voice dad!
