Susan Leach of Premier Music Academy in Round Rock, TX must be the most professional and quality…read moreoriented private music academy instructor have ever worked with in my 35+ years of being a fellow musician. Susan Leach has been providing flute lessons to my son over the past 2 years with the first year being virtual due to the pandemic. My son as a beginning flutist entered into his second year of middle school already propelled to the highest of 3 bands at school. Furthermore, he earned top tier position in performance by winning district level and competed at regionals within his first 3 months of playing flute with other musicians in a live non-virtual setting. Susan's capabilities as an outstanding musician are well established given her tenure as a professional flutist in orchestra of which she performs, but not just anyone can also take that level of talent and teach another person. She is flexible on schedule and always has been accommodating. Premier Music Academy as a business is fantastic at communication and every one of my engagements involved working directly for the owner and manager of the school. All that being said, Premier Music Academy is my ONLY recommended school for private instruction in the area and they offer a wide spectrum of top tier instructors across an array of wind, brass, string (including all styles of guitar), and percussion instrumentation (yes including Piano and Keyboard) along with vocal instruction as well.

My son has been attending Orpheus for 5 years and we love it. My son takes both classical guitar…read moreand cello lessons there. Mr. Jesse is his guitar teacher and Ms. Sara is his cello teacher. Both are gifted musicians and talented teachers. Having two locations also makes it convenient for the summer camps that are offered and also if we need to reschedule and get a makeup lesson at the other location. There are also several recitals throughout the year so my son has really learned the performance aspect of being a musician. My son has ADHD and his teachers are able to engage him throughout the lesson. As someone who is experienced in both adolescent development and pedagogy, Orpheus is, in my opinion, the best music school in central Texas.

I purchased a Fender Uke from this location. I brought it to my local guitar store in town to have…read morethem show me how to use an electric instrument, this is my first one. Imagine my surprise when I found out that the installed Fender tuner didn't work. I called this Guitar Center and they told me to return my uke. Meanwhile, the owner of the store I was in called the Fender company, and was told this uke's installed tuner (and maybe all Fenders, IDK) is designed to only work when it's plugged into an amp. WHAT???? I called my store, they didn't know this very basic fact about FENDERS? Shouldn't they know that? How can someone who works in a guitar store not know the installed tuners don't work on something they sell (unless plugged into an amp)? Additionally, when I purchased this uke, they just handed it to me and went back to their computers, they didn't ask if I needed to know anything about what I just spent hundreds of dollars on. They could have asked me "do you need any help understanding this instrument?" Nope. They just went back to their business. There was no personal service in this store at all. But they sure did want me to positively review them.

First Valve Trumpets offers trumpet lessons to beginning and advanced students. The founder of…read moreFirst Valve Trumpets, Paul Zapata, has played trumpet for 30 years. He loves music and he loves the trumpet! He can prepare you for a competition. My child was an average trumpet player before beginning lessons with Paul. Now my child is excelling in his high school band and in competitions. I highly recommend Paul and First Valve Trumpets. He is a one-of-a-kind trumpet instructor! http://firstvalve.weebly.com/

He has taught my daughter for about two years now. She started from scratch, using a 3/4 sized guitar and has now graduated to a full-sized one. She plays so well that she can probably busk for pocket money. Chris is now also teaching my son, who while still a beginner, is making very good progress. We rented a guitar when my daughter first started. Rental of a 3/4-sized guitar (from Rock 'n Roll Rentals) was very affordable at only $6/month. We ended up purchasing it as it was more cost effective in the end, with two children using it one year after another. A nice bonus at Childbloom is that siblings are only charged half the price for lessons.
