It's never too late, or too early. Ms. Kibbe and her staff are unfailingly gracious, gifted at and clearly enjoy teaching music. Ms. Kibbe's sincere interest and delight in teaching is refreshing. She is a gifted musician, inspiring her students with demonstrations of beautiful violin and viola music, good humor and productive instruction. Her knowledge, teaching ability, sincere kindness, patience, insight and interest in each student are only surpassed by her love of children, commitment to their development and her ability to encourage and gift the joy of music. The new offices of Snohomish County Music School are fresh, clean, comfortable, safe, welcoming and conveniently located close to the Everett COSTCO. I am both impressed and very grateful to Snohomish County Music School and especially to Ms. Kibbe for the first of many enriching years of violin. Mark Potampa, M.D.

Randy is fantastic! It's clear he loves music and loves being a teacher, which is the best of both…read moreworlds for a guitar student. I am more than happy to drive up to Marysville from Seattle for my lessons. It doesn't matter how many times I come to the lesson saying, "I didn't have time to practice . . . . ," Randy takes it in stide, and then comes up with something else excellent for me to learn. He knows his stuff, and is really flexible with what we focus on - theory, music style, songs etc. If you're not into it, he will find something else that you are interested in to learn. And if his schedule allows, he usually ends up giving you a longer lesson than what you are scheduled for. Total win-win!

Incredible music school that I was privileged to work at for three years! The owner is incredibly…read moreorganized and thoughtful. Students and parents are satisfied and most stay with the school for years. Student success and growth are the core focus of the school. 10/10!

What a fantastic Piano teacher! I am so happy I found Music Schoolhouse, finally an exceptional all…read morearound Music/piano teacher. Not an old ladies house teaching old school tunes with no advancement, or a fancy place that charges you an arm and a leg for lessons. Mila teaches out of a super cute studio, she is so kind and patient and actually expresses a genuine interest in your learning. I really like that she has an educational university level background in Piano and Music and doesn't just teach you piano songs back to back. (Like the teachers I had growing up). She delves into music theory, history, composition, form, sight reading, ear training etc. it really makes the learning effective and long term. She continuously updates her curriculums to new techniques and keeps up with modern pieces. She even offers educational music group classes for toddlers while also ranging to adult students. She is very organized has great communication, not sure what the other review was talking about, they probably just didn't read her payment setup which is super easy and convenient. She stays up to date with all of her students and will always answer questions about her policies. I have learned so much from Mila, she is an incredible piano teacher.

I started at the music factory after seeing some of their flyers, and was taking lessons there for…read morearound a year. I really enjoyed my time with the music factory, and I was connected with some awesome people/great musicians and mentors. I was able to explore many new concepts and even a new instrument, and every step of the way was guided by first class musicians. I highly recommend TMF to anyone, but especially adult students who want expert, in-person lessons! I worked specifically on guitar with Blake and drums with Tim, and both of them were really great at gauging where I was at coming in and helping me figure out where I could grow.
