Both of my children had been taking music lessons at North Main for over two years. We stopped…read moretaking lessons there in favor of something more local since we moved and as the old song says, you don't know what you've got till it's gone. The educators at North Main are not just well versed in music, but they're professionals. When we had lessons scheduled for 6:30, they started at 6:30...not 6:40 or even 6:50! The instructors knew how to make music FUN for our daughters- they practiced during the week and they couldn't wait until the next lesson. When we first signed up it was explained to us that if we missed a lesson for whatever reason that makeup lessons weren't promised, yet on the occasions that we did miss a lesson due to vacationing, sickness, whatever, they always managed to fit us in at another time. We tried two other places (that shall remain nameless) and the instructors were not in North Main's league. The owners didn't seem to care about anything but money. The kids were nowhere near as motivated or interested. Lesson learned: when I asked the kids if they wanted to go back to North Main Music one of them literally started jumping with joy. We had to wait a couple of weeks for spots to open up and everyone was delighted when we finally got the call. They even asked one of their students to switch time so that my kids could take lessons at the same time and the student was nice enough to agree. It now takes us an extra 20 minutes or so each way to drive to North Main Music but it's well worth it. Thanks, guys!

We just switched ffrom a Mom and me dance class about 30 minutes from home to Happy Feet.. which is…read more10 minutes from home! This was the perfect transition as my daughter is now almost three and is more independent- as the tots class is not a mom and me! Love the community and atmosphere. We enrolled last month and my daughter has adapted well and takes to her teachers wonderfully. I am not happy with the parking situation and there are never enough chairs in the waiting room and it's incredibly busy. They need a Larger studio for sure.

Signed my child up for a summer camp dance class. The start of the week the instructor never even…read moreintroduced herself to the parents! Never told us what was going on. I felt that to be unprofessional seeing as every other studio my children have attended the instructor always greets the parents, tells us her name, what the class will be like, etc... I went to introduce myself to the instructor after class and she disappeared to her office. The high school aged girls that work there basically told me to buzz off and not bother her because the owner has her own child to tend to... Thank god we only signed up for a week class. The class itself was awful, not challenging for my daughter, and the studio itself was small and hot (not sure if their AC was broken or what was going on). Would not recommend

There odd selection of new and used CDs also won't bring me back. Ultimately, they are doing the best they can I believe with what they can offer . My biggest complaint? The guys who work there are jerks. I know a good guitar when I see one. If you don't have what I'm looking for - be honest about it and don't try to pull one over on me. FAIL

He set a date and stuck to his promise. He not only went through and polished off my son's Bach Stradivarius trumpet, but he also worked out the dents on the bell to bring it back to a 'next-to-new' condition. He even delivered it to my son's work right down the street, which was an added bonus. Craig, and Oleary's Musice Center comes high in my recommendations.

He set up times that he would be travelling near my home so I didn't have to drive the hour to his shop, but he would never contact me to meet or make excuses at the last minute.

The owner of the studio went to great lengths to make the studio safe for my child to attend classes while going through chemotherapy for leukemia when she was very young. It has been our second home for the past 17 years; and my daughter has since graduated high school and is now a member of a dance company in Boston while attending college thanks to the outstanding instruction she received at Steppin' Out.

However, if you are new to the studio do not be expected to know what is going on. It is organized chaos. Also I would not recommend if a child has special needs or learning disabilities. Staff does not take the time to listen and take into consideration the needs of the student with the teacher. When asking questions they are unable to answer the question from staff and the teacher does not know. It is a revolving door for the studio to make money and to have enough bodies in there without taking into consideration those who may not be apart of their dance team.

We had a really great experience with this Kindercare. We had our 2 year old son there for just…read moreover a year. The director while we were at the center, Devon, was really excellent. She was super quick to respond to our emails and questions, very friendly, and very competent. We also liked the majority of teachers that we met who interacted with our child. The only complaint we made during our time there was that during drop-off and pick-up things always seemed a bit more hectic than they needed to be -- it seemed like having another teacher in there during that time would have helped. The other challenge was teacher turnover, though I imagine this is fairly common at any daycare center. Of the 12 or so teachers we met, five moved on in the year that we were there. Luckily they ended up being replaced by other great teachers. Our only reason for leaving is that a 10% discount on two children was still much higher than us just hiring a nanny.
