I feel she's a bit of a diamond in the rough compared to other piano teachers of her skill level. Her prices are very reasonable considering her level experience. Deborah is extremely dedicated to helping each student reach their maximum potential. I highly recommend lessons from Deborah if you or your child are ready to take piano seriously and are willing to put in the time and effort to succeed.

If I could give this place more stars, I would.

Update 08/2018: My daughter is still attending Columbia Rock School (renamed from LTBRS a while…read moreago). She is doing great, loves it and has no plans to stop anytime soon. Original Review: My daughter started almost a year ago at LTBRS and she loves it. Her instructors (band and private lessons) are wonderful and she has learned so much. She started with singing and we have added piano. She is also part of their band program which is a great experience for the kids. When I was first researching singing lessons in our area I did look at a similar school right across the street to us but wasn't sold on it as it felt very corporate with a program that didn't feel at all flexible in my personal opinion. My daughter can work on the songs she chooses alongside the songs she sings for the band program at LTBRS and there are also opportunities for her to perform at Open Mic Nights as well. Something she really looks forward to. As for the piano it was something that took a while to get going, as learning the basics can sometimes be boring for kids, but her instructor has done a fantastic job moving her along and keeping it fun. She is now practicing all the time on her own as well which is great to see. The atmosphere and the owner is great. I'm glad we chose this school over the other options in the area.

I appreciate the progress notes and I like that the owner is usually present if you need to ask a question or voice a concern. I also like the newsletters that keep me abreast of upcoming events and information that I should know. The annual recitals are a good opportunity for the students to show off their skills. I've been to other places for lessons and it is my opinion that this place is the next best option to private lessons.

This music school is very unprofessional. My daughter applied to Julliard and this company…read morevolunteered to complete her recordings. Unfortunately the dream was snatched because this company did not complete the renderings until after the due date, which they were well aware of from the beginning. They actually emailed us the recordings at 11:59pm and they were due to Julliard at 11:59pm. How unprofessional and ridiculous is that? If I could give them 0 stars I would. We had a 2 year relationship with this company and it was very disappointing that they took no ownership for what they did. I could not believe that they blamed their slow internet. How ridiculous is that? If you knew your internet was slow DON'T VOLUNTEER to complete renderings. The CEO nor the director apologized and took no ownership at all. I could not believe it.

I love Bill's Music, tbh. The only thing I don't like about Bill's is that they close at 6. I…read moreunderstand why, but it does mean I have to hurry to get there after work. That all being said, I make sure to rush to Bill's when I need stuff because the alternative is going home and then going to...well, another store with an instrument in the name, and that has never been a good experience unlike Bill's. A few years ago I made an online purchase for a used pedal from Bill's. I showed up to get it and as it turns out, they had no idea where it was. They had spend an hour looking for it after I purchased it, and then they spend another 20 minutes looking for it after I arrived. To make it up to me they offered me a brand new version of the pedal at the mid point of the difference between the used one and the new one. I took that offer because it was a great deal. Since then I have bought 3 more pedals from them over the years, a microphone, and a whole lot of accessories. If I want to purchase another guitar at any point, I will definitely hit them up if possible.

While there, I recalled I needed a male to male 1/4 inch adapter. I found one and was looking for other similar items for a project I'm working on. Before I got much further, a young man approached me and suggested in was time to check out and he would "escort" me to the cashier. The clear implication was that I was attempting to steal this little item. This young man clearly needs more education in reading people. I was pretty insulted and I will never have a need to return to Bills Music in Catonsville Md. There are numerous other places to purchase their product line without the rude, passive-aggressive treatment.
