My daughter has been taking guitar lessons with Mrs. Maria for a few months now and our experience…read morethus far has been great. From the very first trial lesson, Mrs. Maria set a positive and comfortable tone with my daughter. It was right then that we decided to purchase a full package of lessons and continue with her. Mrs. Maria is very generous with her time and makes sure that each lesson is productive (no excessive side chatter). Plus, parents are allowed to sit in the room and observe throughout the lesson, which I like. Outside of lessons, Mrs. Maria makes herself available to answer questions and even called my daughter and sang to her on her birthday, which made my daughter feel really special. She also sends follow-up emails after most lessons to review what was learned and what needs to be practiced. If you are considering letting your child try out guitar, I highly recommend Mrs. Maria. She has two young children herself, so she really knows how to work with kids as well as balance challenging them with having fun. Location: Mrs. Maria's studio is very quaint and private, located on the upstairs level of a retail mall, and there is always ample parking.

I can't rave enough about this school!

She adapted to my son's learning style. Surprisingly my son never complaind about the 3 hour sessions.I love that this school offers you a flexible way of learning with plenty of one-on-one instruction while in a group setting (best of both worlds, in my view). Overall, the school was a fun, great and safe environment (i.e. COVID compliant) that we felt comfortable taking our son to and that he enjoyed being at, including the opportunity to get to know his fellow students.

This class is a great bonding experience and a way for parents to know how to play musically with their children! I LOVED this program!! The music is great as are the materials you are given to enjoy long after the class ends. I should note that there is no parent socializing allowed during class, it's all about the music, and parent participation is a must so kids can see how it's done. :) If you are going to meet new parent/ kid friends, it's possible and is what you make it, a lot of us in our class had after class meetups in local parks for snacks or lunch. :)

I even see much younger than my toddler at this class. A lot different activities that I believe to stimulate their ability to recognizing the melody or whatsoever. Not only in the class, we received some CD and other tool (they even have their own app) that can be used at home. Keep practicing with my kid. The teachers are also very nice and friendly, always greet us with songs. Lol. In the class room we follow some activities lead by the teachers. They explained to us what it will stimulate. It helps us to understand the benefits of that activity which is really help us. My toddler right now getting more comfortable and we continuing to see his progress (he like music a lot now).

I'm so thankful for Fantasia School of Music! My 10 year old daughter has been going weekly for…read moreabout 6 months now for piano lessons. I'm very happy with the level of instruction she is receiving. Prior to enrolling at Fantasia, she had done about 6 months at her elementary, but then that teacher left the school. We were in love with that previous teacher's level of enthusiasm and fun, and we really felt we'd never be happy elsewhere. I'm happy to report, though, that my daughter is absolutely happy at Fantasia with Ms. Katherine. She is very focused and structured with her lessons, but still so much fun! She often has little treats for my daughter after they are done, which is super cute! Honestly, all of their instructors seem to really care and also be very well-trained. Fantasia puts on recitals for the students, so it's amazing to be able to see their progress with family members too! They also hold fun community events that I think are great, especially during these times where we all need to get out, touch grass, and interact more with others. Due to sports, we haven't been able to attend those, but they've hosted things like karaoke, fun raffles, and meet and greets. Overall, I recommend them for all levels of musicians!

My daughter Riley has been a vocal student at Fantasia for a couple months now. Ms. Katherine is a…read morewelcoming and energetic teacher who shines with passion. Riley has started to leave her comfort zone thanks to her! It is evident my daughter is not only growing vocally but also as a person with new found confidence. Ms. Katherine's feedback approach is simple but helpful for children to understand. She asks her students what they think they did well and what they can improve which opens the door for a growth mindset and allows the students to receive positive criticism. She then gives feedback and my daughter applies what she was told to her singing in front of her. At the end of every lesson, she gives them a small sweet treat They have an adorable waiting area where you can read books or complete a puzzle while you wait for your kids to finish their lessons. My four year old and future Fantasia student loves the waiting area and is upset when she stays with dad. All in all, witnessing my daughter grow in her passion at Fantasia is a part of my life I will look back at when she performs on big stages. Thank you to all and most importantly, a big thanks to Ms. Katherine.

She's 7 years old and she's been thriving so much with her. She feels very comfortable, as that was her big issue with the last teachers where she felt she wasn't comfortable and didn't want to go back. My daughter is so eager to learn with Arianne and that's all I ever wanted for her. Not to mention her skills and experience blew me away! Really can't wait for the future for my child in the long run as we continue lessons here.

We were also hesitant to put our daughter into any type of private lesson for her first musical experience not knowing if she would like singing. I first met Nani in a hula class and discovered she is a professional opera singer. Our daughter naturally gravitated towards Nani so we decided to give the private session a try. After the first lesson we were amazed on how much our daughter learned and Nani was able to immediately correct some of our daughter's bad habits. Nani taught her the proper way to use and care for her voice as an instrument, not to over stress and prevent long-term damage. Nani is extremely patient and has a passion for sharing her joy of music with her students. This is evident during the bi-annual recitals and watching the interactions amongst her students. We are most impressed about Nani for the way she tailors her teaching style to the student. Our younger son begged us to take voice lessons after watching how much our daughter was learning. Now our children love to sing and perform together. If you are looking for a music or voice teacher, we highly recommend Nani.

There are music teachers and there are teachers who teach students how to understand and love music so they can achieve their goals; whether that's to apply to a musical conservatory, audition for a recital or play, or just to be able learn how to sing harmonies with others, Nani is ready to support you every step of the way. You don't want to put your children or your own musical journey in the wrong hands as it could lead to a loss of love for piano or singing. I know because I had a terrible teacher when I was in my teens and I didn't want to play piano anymore as a result; what a shame! Nani achieves progress and growth in her students in a way that is both challenging and rewarding. She truly is the musical coach that everyone needs.
