I highly recommend String Lark Lessons. I am an adult learner and previously had tried learning…read morefrom a friend and teaching myself - neither at all productive. Since working with Melanie I've learned so much - about the guitar and about theory, but most importantly I've learned how to make noise come out of this big ass guitar I own that actually sounds like music! The room where lessons are held is bright and warm with musical instruments all over and Melanie herself has such a calm, positive energy. Good vibes all the way around. She is a great teacher and manages to be both patient and challenging at the same time. I think it's a huge talent to make sure students progress while not overwhelming them and she manages that each lesson. When I've come in excited about something I read or heard, she can somehow take that and make it applicable to exactly my level. She is also full of ideas and suggestions - my playing is going in all sorts of directions that I didn't expect. I feel like I'm getting a well-rounded education and am eventually going to have the skills and knowledge to take this any direction I choose.

The community at Hochstein is so warm and welcoming- seeing our friends at "the orange music school" has quickly become my little one's favorite part of the week.

Went recently for Alice In OrchestraLand, and it was amazing, and well executed, which great song selections. If you have never been here, take a look at their upcoming offerings, and check it out. You won't be disappointed!

My daughter was a part of this dance program for 9 months, and unfortunately, my experience was…read moreextremely disappointing due to a consistent lack of communication and organization. Throughout almost the entire season, communication with parents was minimal. As recital approached, there was no dress rehearsal scheduled for the day before the performance, and no communication about that until parents began asking questions during the week of the recital. Even more concerning, no information was provided regarding arrival times, check-in procedures, or what was expected of the dancers throughout the day. The only information parents received came after repeatedly asking, and the response was essentially, "I think 10:30 will work" for an 11:00 a.m. recital. In the entire 9 months my daughter participated, I never learned the instructors' names and never met the owner a single time. That level of disconnect is surprising and, in my opinion, unprofessional for a youth program. As someone who has coached youth programs for several years, I understand the importance of communication with parents--especially when working with very young children. Keeping families informed should be a priority, not an afterthought. I am grateful for the experience my daughter had and the enjoyment she got from dancing. However, I am completely dissatisfied with how this business is managed. It feels as though the owner may be stretched too thin between multiple locations and simply does not have the time to properly oversee and support the Bath location. Unfortunately, I cannot recommend this studio. I hope this review helps other parents make an informed decision when choosing a dance program for their child.

This is a wonderful studio for beginners thru adults to learn the art of dance. The teachers are…read moretrained and certified to teach. Classes are very organized and informational for all ages. Students have said that the teachers make learning fun and at the same time challenging while learning. Don't waste your money going anywhere else if you want an enjoyable experience for you or your child to learn to dance. Teachers are always accessible to talk to and are very understanding, patient and willing to help students and parents with any questions or concerns. Their competition teams are awesome and have won numerous awards. There is also alot of one-on-one attention given to students during their classes. This is a school where the teachers really invest themselves in your dance education whether you are looking to be a serious dancer or a recreational dancer.

The friends she has made over the years have become her second family as well as the teachers. They don't push the kids to do more than they can do but they will make sure the kids are not just going through the motions. They have fun and make it fun for the kids. As well as the adults- I did a class a couple years ago and I loved it even going on stage lol. If you're looking for a studio that will teach your child the fundamentals as well as let them be their own person.. this is the studio for you.
