My son has been taking piano lessons given by Valentino since the start of the year, and I couldn't…read morebe happier with my son's progress. Valentino makes each lesson enjoyable yet productive.  If I'm being honest, it was a little bit of a struggle to get my son to practice in the beginning, but with much patience and dedication by his teacher and himself, I am proud to say that I no longer have to remind my son to practice weekly. He enjoys his time on the piano both alone and with instruction due to his teacher setting an awesome example in his own commitment and piano skills.  It has been a pleasure to hear my son learning to play from such a great young man.  We look forward for my son to continue learning under the guidance of such an inspiring teacher!  We highly recommend taking lessons from Valentino & his family as they are not only wonderful all around, but have also made the lessons affordable for mom!

Liz is patient, encouraging, and keeps my daughter motivated and on track with her progress. What we appreciate most is how she also helps guide us as parents so we know how to support our daughter's practice and learning at home. It really feels like she's invested in her success. We're very grateful for Teacher Liz and the positive learning environment she creates. Highly recommend her for anyone looking for a supportive and skilled piano teacher!

Poor customer service. I took an instrument to them to be repaired, called them 6 weeks later and…read morethey did not know where my instrument was. Megan said they would call me back. I called them back later that day and the next day, the manager did not bother to get on the phone with me but was relaying messages to Megan on the phone. They assured me they would be calling me back. The next day. I received a text message letting me know it would be six more weeks and the manager would update me. I had yet to talk to a manager or receive an apology. I texted back that it was unacceptable since they already had it 6 weeks and they lost it. They said they would try to get it done as soon as possible. Two weeks later I was informed the manager would be picking up the instrument and would contact me. A week later Gabe contacted me and was very apologetic for the situation. This was the first apology that I had received. Gabe is the reason this review got one star. He went above and beyond to apologize, communicate and called me more than once. I did get the instrument back. However, when I went to go pick it up, Megan acted like she did not want to help me or recognize that I was in the store. I paid over $300 to have the instrument fixed and my daughter informed me not all the pads were replaced. Very disappointed in this music store and the customer service received. I will be using a different music store in the future

1 Star I am…read moreextremely disappointed with my experience with Tamraloo Studios. My daughter was accepted for piano and voice lessons, and after going through the entire process, the funding was approved. We were simply at the final stage of confirming the schedule. When I called to confirm the lesson days and times, I was put on hold and the call was disconnected. I called back several times but was unable to reach anyone. Shortly afterward, I received a message saying that the lesson time was no longer available and that I should remove the funding and find another studio. When I asked whether this was simply a scheduling issue, I was later told that, "after further review," they had decided that they could not accommodate my family and would not move forward with services. I asked for a specific reason in writing, but they refused to provide one. That is what concerns me the most. This was no longer about availability or scheduling. They made the decision to refuse services to my family, after we had already been accepted and the funding had been approved, yet they would not explain why. I cannot say for certain what motivated their decision, but the way this situation was handled left me feeling unwelcome and discriminated against. As someone whose English is not perfect, I was especially uncomfortable with how I was treated during this process. Families deserve clear communication, respect, and transparency--especially when they have spent significant time going through the process to secure services for their child. I would not recommend this studio based on my experience, and I hope other families, especially those who may have language barriers, are treated with more respect and professionalism.
