Not only did she answer in detail she also shared her vision and passion. We decided to sign up for a class and our daughter can't wait to go every week.

We appreciate when business are really about the kids and not just a babysitting service but a place where the kids are encouraged to grow and thrive. Thank you Priya!

It was a little tough to find. I went by GPS and the address took me to the house that's actually in front of the building you need to go to. So if you make a left right before the house you'll see a long driveway and parking and the building sits to your right. We were greeted warmly when we arrived and we removed our shoes and headed upstairs to the studio. It was beautiful with mats and, blocks, and pillows set up neatly around. There was soft relaxing music playing and the lighting was natural. Audrey explained to us what we would be doing and was very helpful with each pose (sorry if my terminology is not correct). She also came around and rubbed our necks, heads, or backs, and helped to correct our positions or make them work better for us if we were awkward, which for some, I was. She also used some peppermint oils which I just loved. She also had some of those big bowls that you make music with that she would use a long with the music playing. Very cool. At the end of this hour I was surprised how fast it went and how I really was able to relax and I was already looking for more. It was a very very great experience. When we went to leave she did give us cards for a free session which I definitely plan to try. I saw that they also do camps there for kids and outside stuff too. Who would have thought this all existed back behind Linglestown road? Glad I stepped out of my comfort zone and gave this a try. You should too.

LOCAL NICHE BUSINESS SPOTLIGHT…read more After our daughter, Piper, had so much fun at a class here, I had to learn more about this niche business and the people that make it what it is. I believe in the arts and the benefits of creativity and expression in our society, so it was a pleasure meeting with Molly Shortridge and Justin Clauser of The Perfect 5th Musical Arts Center recently for a tour and some insight into their business. Here's some of my conversation with these two important Central PA musical educators... 1. Founding year? 2011 2. Founder Full name? Eric Wirsing (Guitarist for Solar Federation) 3. Current Owners Full Names? Molly Shortridge (Flutist) and Justin Clauser (Guitarist) 4. Something people might not know about what you do/a common misconception? In addition to music instruction, we offer private and group classes in art and acting. In the Summer, we have camps for music, art, and acting such as Musical Theater, Painting, Drawing, Guitar, Rock Bands, and even specialized camps for young children. 5. Anything you think people might want to know or find interesting? We have highly trained instructors in their field who are also performing musicians. We have teachers from Julliard, Indiana University, Columbia College, Berklee College of Music, Temple University, and many other quality institutions. You can also find our teachers in bands and ensembles such as Into The Spin, Breaking Benjamin, Colebrook Road, Good in the Dark, That Girl,, The Keating Jazz Orchestra, U.S. Army Field bands, The Maryland Symphony Orchestra, Trinity Chamber Orchestra, and Canaan's Land. To find out more, please visit our website at ThePerfect5th.com to read biography's of each of our instructors. We are always interested in designing classes specific to what our community wants. If you have an idea for a small group of people we would love to make it for you. We currently work with the Girl Scouts to help them earn their art badges and would love to team up with more local organizations. 6. Your favorite part about the business? Our favorite part of The Perfect 5th is the sense of community. It is not just a place for musicians, artists, and actors to learn, but a place for us to gather and collaborate. Many local bands have formed out of students that met here and many students have been inspired to become professional artists and musicians. We have prepared students for colleges, conservatories, musicals, acting jobs, working as session musicians, and even for performing in the Marine Band. 7. What's your message or mission? We strive to encourage, nurture, and teach students of all ages and abilities, adapting lessons to individual needs. We hope to enhance lives with the joy of learning an art that lasts a lifetime. We also encourage our students to become members of the community who contribute their personal art and talent to others in ways that are meaningful and promote goodwill. Find them everywhere!...

She showed us many options; several of which I would never have thought of on my own. When we said we wanted a red mat as it felt more dramatic she recommended a black shadow mat to go with it It really made our art pop! Even better, her pricing is on par with bigger box stores so it doesn't make you wince when paying your bill. In addition to framing art, the store has many local artists work available for purchase -vases, glass, jewelry to name a bit. I can't recommend this place enough for a one of a kind gift or framing location! Thanks for a great experience Rose!
