Be wary of using LIYH. The quality of instructors we've had is mediocre, with some very strange…read morepersonalities. One male teacher made my 12yo daughter feel so uncomfortable that we had to end the lessons. Another would just forget to come sometimes. The value is limited because their policy around rescheduling is so restrictive, even while their own instructors regularly move or cancel sessions. So if your child is sick or you travel or there is an emergency, you will still pay for the lesson. Even though it is convenient to have lessons in your home, the instructors weren't good enough to make this worth it over time.

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.

A very unique birthday party venue for creative kids!…read more My daughter was recently invited to a birthday party here where she got introduced to several instruments and record a song with her friend's in a professional recording studio. Afterwards, the staff edited the song and sent it to us to download. Giving second graders free access to electric instruments that they've never seen before is ... what you can expect ... but the staff was absolutely lovely and patient trying to work with our small group. They even gave parents ear plugs which was truly welcome! After the music, we had a small party room to enjoy refreshments.

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!

Studied piano since childhood in Venezuela and then lived in Russia for 7 years. He got my son SO HOOKED on piano that I hardly have to ask him to go practice. He loves to do it and I can hardly get him away from the piano. I highly recommend this place. They are really about their craft which is music, not pleasing extra picky sticklers who haggle and whine.

From witnessing her rapport with the younger students, I bet they have a similarly positive experience! I wasn't a terrible singer, but I certainly have my bad habits.
