I have 3 children currently taking lessons with Jennifer, and plan to have my 4th child start when…read morehe is around age 5. My kids love her and so do I. They are learning and improving every week and they are having fun with it. I especially love that Jennifer not only works through lessons books with them, but she has been incorporating ear training as well and helping them play popular songs on the radio by ear. This helps keep things fun and balanced for them. She is also not afraid to venture into new areas with the kids as they show interest. For example, my oldest recently joined a band, and Jennifer has been helping him work on his band songs as needed. He is also showing interest in songwriting, and she has been happy to help and encourage that. Additionally, my daughter has shown interest in playing and singing, but she is a little shy about it. Jennifer has been great at encouraging her and giving her the opportunity to sing and play. We have recommended Jennifer to several of our kids' friends whose parents have approached us about starting piano lessons. Each have told us how please they are with how lessons are going and how grateful they are for the recommendation. We love her and can't recommend her highly enough.

they do not have good instructors and do not post availability for when to make an appointment. you…read morepay up front (?) before seeing what time frames they have so if they do not coincide (which mine did not) you are out of luck. I was moving back to New York and they did not have weekend availability as I work during the week so they just kept my $100. after continually emailing them to refund me for a service I did not receive they said their policy is in the fine print at the bottom which you can barely see of course. to keep $100 for not giving a voice lesson is absurd and if I have to pay up front then at least show the schedule so I can see if I am even able to do it. this is my first yelp review I have ever written and it's absolute bullshit they could not just refund me.

The moment I started lessons with Vanessa, things just started to click. My voice has radically changed for the better. I'm able to hit notes I was never able to hit and I hit them with ease. She has helped make my voice sound seamless and has made everything that once sounded so complicated, very simple. I'm beyond grateful to her and I look forward to continuing to build with her :-)

I've had the pleasure of two readings and coaching sessions with Kate. Her ability to tap into what…read moreyou need to know, learn, grow and/or heal from is truly astounding. Even more phenomenal is the level of compassion and pure of heart love she holds in the experience with her. It's rare to be around a person who sincerely chooses love and helps you to work through whatever is needed, free of judgement. But then you meet Kate and it's obvious that she is a rare find and a gift to each person brought into her life! I trust her readings, her coaching and highly recommend her to anyone wanting to heal, grow and expand their experiences, as well as life's opportunities!

Kate came to our bachelorette weekend to do readings for our group. It was such a great way to…read morestart our trip. Kate is talented, insightful, kind, patient, and someone who you feel like you just want to be friends with. We loved our experience with her and had a lot of great takeaways. Thank you Kate!

Sounds like a couple of jaded musicians have been trying to give this company a bad name. I have…read morehad the opposite experience as Chad W. and Brian M. with ICAA. In 2008, my husband and I started a band and couldn't find any paying gigs. In 2009 we heard about ICAA- our lives changed. We paid a small fee and were put on a roster where paying gigs came in daily and we were able to put our hats in the ring for promoters consideration. I know we weren't the only ones who got LOTS of paying gigs- I'd say the so-called scam artist, Jennifer has made my husband and I upwards of 50k over the past 3 years. She has collected a very fair and lower than industry standard booking fee. It's not a scam, these reviewers are just mad that their music wasn't quality enough to be represented by this reputable company. If you ask any artist on the ICAA roster, I'm sure they will say the same. These are good people- shame on you, Chad W. and Brian M. for taking rejection so poorly.

When Molly was just 4, she had her first lesson, and she has never looked back. Jeff has always been so sweet with her, but he also sees her potential and helps her work to realize it. (This is a nice change from so many other lessons when kids are that young, in which they are regarded as just precious and not really challenged or respected.) Jeff is always professional, on time, and reliable, as well as helpful, patient, and flexible. Not to mention the fact that he is just a helluva nice guy. Work with Jeff and you won't be sorry.

I just want to mention how helpful NSAI has been to me, both "from a distance" and "in person." I…read morejoined in April 2023. I love that, for local chapter meetings, you can find plenty of meetings all over the USA (and some in other countries too), where you can attend both in person and via Zoom. At many of the meetings, you can submit a song for feedback from the local group. If you're not yet a member, you can attend a couple of meetings for free (and even submit a song for feedback if the chapter has feedback during their meetings), just to check out how it all works. If you're a paying member, you can attend unlimited meetings all over the world for no fee whatsoever. There is a chapter directory, which makes it easy to find what you're looking for. If you find that a particular local chapter isn't a good fit for you, there are at least 100 more chapters waiting for you to explore and plug into. I'm in the southeast USA but I regularly attend meetings in Texas and other states! There is also a member directory where, if a member has allowed their profile to be made public, you can find writers who share your interests, to connect with. There are also forums (message boards) where you can post messages. I've made some great co-writer connections this way! I've been very satisfied with all the services offered by NSAI via their website (which seems to have been recently updated in October 2024), including song feedback, song evaluations, online and in-person pitch-to-publisher events, Zoom mentor meetings, the member representatives, the front desk staff, the local chapter meetings, and other events. The writing rooms which you can reserve free-of-charge at the main headquarters in Nashville TN, are a really cool way to get together with other writers to co-write while you're in Nashville. Some of the rooms have a keyboard, so be sure to let them know if you will be needing a keyboard. Honestly, the "free writing rooms" feature is worth its weight in gold, if you ever make trips to Nashville. Some other rentable writing rooms in town may cost a lot of money per hour, but NSAIs rooms are free. I've never encountered a time when rooms were unavailable, but I'm sure that could happen if you didn't book in advance via the website, so make sure to do that. Check it out, sign up if you like it, utilize the services, attend some local chapter meetings, and enjoy.

When most songwriters (or singer/songwriters) move to Nashville they are chasing a big dream. After…read moretaking the first step and making the move comes the big question,"Where do I start?". If you're new to town this is one of the first places to check out. NSAI is a not for profit group put here for the purpose of educating us and helping us a long on our musical journey. The trick is to not just be a member, but take advantage of all the tools they offer you in membership. They offer tons of workshops, networking opportunities with professionals and other writers(such as pitch-to-publisher nights), 12 song evaluations (you can purchase extra for not very much if you are craving more feedback), and one on one mentoring sessions twice a year. All of this (and lots of other things) are included in yearly membership. They have different levels of membership, but the most common one runs at $150 for the year. They have a 2 or 3 month flex pay option if you don't want to pay it all at once(they know for the most part what an up and comer's salary looks like). I was a member for a few years before I started taking advantage of all NSAI has to offer. Since I did that I've learned and accomplished so much more in this crazy town and I've also met a ton of wonderful people to help me on my way. If this is your thing, or you're just thinking about it, stop in and say "hello" and they'll gladly show you around and give you more information. It's definitely an organization worth joining.
