My son who is 4 years old attended a week during summer camp of "Music and Arts Explorations". The…read moreclasses started at 9.30 am until 1 pm. At the end of just one week I was amazed at how much he learned; they had a presentation showing the parents what the kids did during the week and demonstrate the new acquired knowledge. Singing, playing simple songs on ukulele, simple key notes on the piano, naming so many musical instruments, role playing, painting and doing art projects...I am sure I missed something but the point is that there was a lot of learning done in a fun way in just a week. The teachers Mrs. Goldman and Mrs. Cobb are very nurturing and make sure the kids stay on task in a kind way. Most if all my son loved it and felt very important because he got to as he says" get smarter" . Very highly recommended.

I forgot their names (so sorry) but the two workers there helped us so much, answered all of our questions, and tolerated us playing different guitars for a couple hours. I came in to get my strings replaced and the man there (great drip by the way) explained everything in detail. We had such a great experience, and I will for sure be coming back with any further issues and questions with my guitar journey! P.S. Go on a Friday since that's when the cool people are there :)

Very helpful; found what I needed for my instrument and helped me replace it. Specifically the A…read morestring on my violin.

This is way better than doing online lessons, though the rooms are kind of tiny. Not sure what the ventilation in the rooms are like but masks were mandatory.

This "so-called" music school is a disgrace, a waste of students' time and parents' resources. The…read morewhole place is shabby and run down, and one can clearly see that the management was cutting corners to save a dime in everything. Dirty premises, plastic keyboards instead of acoustic pianos, underpaid and underqualified teachers, no performing facility, unprofessional forms and rude staff, most of which are relatives - how could it be even worse? Well, they may have just outdone themselves. Children, otherwise gifted, may have their musical potential ruined by the instruction they receive at this school. Only in the United States - such so-called school would be under criminal investigation in elsewhere. Stay away!

I've been taking lessons here for almost 3 months. Not happy. I have 2 lessons left for the month…read moreI paid and they can keep the money. If I was looking for some just to create guitar tab for me, for my favorite songs, I would have continued on youtube and not sought more of an education. Believe me when I tell you I'm not a complainer. I shouldn't have to come up with the lesson plan, because if I could why would I need lessons. I'm given tab to practice and we don't go over it the following week. I would like to know if I'm picking up bad habits, am I doing it wrong. Nope just the next set of tabs. Spend more time listening to the instructor play his favorite songs. Most of all, I'm paying for the lesson. It's my time, texted your friends on your time. Disapointed!!!

Terrible ownership. Had the audacity to deny a refund after firing my teacher, and threatened to…read moresue if I continued lessons with him. The contract is exploitative and their business practices are questionable. The teachers do not enjoy working there. The prices are outrageous. They clearly exclusively want to sell to parents who want to get rid of their kid for a few minutes.

His instructor is patient, encouraging, commends him when he does well, and continues to push him to achieve excellence. He loves his lessons and has improved dramatically in the last 2 years.

Creme is WONDERFUL and honestly no other daycare comes close! They have a beautiful and enormous…read morefacility, which provides ample space with separate rooms for different classes. My two toddler boys have been coming here for six months and we love it!! For starters the front office staff is so friendly and helpful. Maddie gave us a great tour and Tracy is on top of it with accounting needs. The teachers are great and our kids love going to school. They learn a lot and after switching daycares we see a huge improvement with their speech development. They have a dance room, gym, bowling alley, science lab, art room, and so much more! The prices are actually very affordable and better than a lot of other places half the size. Again, the teachers and staff are so accommodating and attentive we really love everything about this place! You have to check it out!

I usually don't like giving bad reviews but in this case, I feel that it is warranted. The Ashburn…read morelocation is poorly managed and the staff is poor with communication. Creme de la Creme bought this building from another company. The facility is nice but the staff is bad. There is not one professional person in the building. I visited this place before it was taken over by Creme de la Creme and I was very impressed. Now that Creme de la creme has taken over the building, it has gone down hill. The place is not clean and the management staff at this location act like children with all the gossiping that goes on as you walk in the building. The director is the worst of them all. He will gladly lie to you in your face with no hesitation just to get you out of his presence and then hide behind email (If he every responds). I know this because, my son used to be enrolled there and he was asked to leave because the staff was not able to handle a 4 year old. What has this world come to where a daycare facility hires unqualified people to watch and teach children. They are charging outrageous amounts of money and for what????? They are just a glorified daycare. If you are in need of childcare, DO NOT SEND YOUR CHILD TO CREME DE LA CREME. Your child and your family will regret it.

My son has taken drum lessons elsewhere for over a year. And has only learned patterns. We came to…read moreSchool of Rock and he learned so much in just a few weeks! How to set up his drums. The idea of ear plugs for his sensitive ears. Picking out songs he likes so he can learn them with other kids. His teacher is great! And he is really enjoying it! The lessons are twice a week so it keeps drumming in his head. It feels like he is on his way to be in a kid band instead of stuck in a sound proof room playing patterns. We are very happy with the whole experience. The office manager is professional, smart and well organized. The teachers are talented and good to the kids. We will be here for a while! I look forward to my son's concerts in the future! PS - we have been to several concerts performed by a plethora of students. Very cool. Great experience!!

I don't understand this place. I got an initial call back to discuss how the place works, but then…read morescheduling a trial lesson was like pulling teeth-- calling, emailing, finally texting. Took forever. Got to the trial lesson only to be told the person we'd worked so hard to get wasn't available so it's with so-and-so. Uh. Fine, but we picked the other person for a reason. And booked another trial with the original teacher, only to get to THAT lesson and realize it's still not the instructor we'd been aiming for. While sitting during the lesson, another student walked in and was told "oh so-and-so is no longer with us so this other person will be your teacher today." What? So you're not told ahead of time? (The mom asked when they'd known this teacher was leaving and it was two weeks prior, but they didn't bother to give anyone notice.) I find it strange that you pay in advance for these situations. Anyway. It's too poorly managed for me, which is too bad because it is certainly a great concept.
