I would say I have a good handle on knowing what adults like...but little munchkins who can't walk or talk yet...I have no idea! Miss Hope is the super hero at Tunes 4 Tots who saved the day. She provided thirty minutes of non-stop fun which included tapping on the drums, maracas and shakers, finger movement songs, and even a tunnel for the kids to crawl through at the end. It was interactive and fun for both the parents and babies and literally my heart just swells when I think about all the fun the birthday girl had. Even my husband was really surprised by how much our daughter enjoyed everything! Miss Hope was able to keep our crowd controlled from age two months to eight years old-- a feat in itself! My only complaint is that I can't get the "Shake Our Sillies Out" song out of my head!

If I could give 10 stars I would!…read more Miss Hope and her team at Tunes4Tots have been a part of our family since our daughter was 11 weeks old. The music taught at class has proven to be a great resource as our baby has grown into a toddler. When she was little we were able to connect and engage with her through the T4T songs that she was familiar with and excited by. Everyone on the Tunes 4 Tots team is kind and genuinely invested in the little ones who attend their classes, and in turn you can see how the kids flourish and truly engage in this musical environment!

Alright. This has been a journey. My most recent teacher, Francisco, is great. He is an incredible…read moremusician and a patient teacher - he helped me figure out a version of learning that would work for my busy schedule and I have made a ton of modifications to my form that have helped make me a better player. My previous frustrated review had to do with seeing multiple less-talented teachers in a row. I had given up on the place, despite the convenient location, and it took me awhile to come back. I'm glad I gave it one more shot. Ask to work with a few teachers before you choose one. I got one who was a good player and an awful teacher and one who was a mediocre player and an okay teacher. Took another try to find someone who could do both. Landing on 4 stars because this journey was frustrating, but I'm happy I found someone good!

I have been with Cardon Studios now for almost a year and it has been a fantastic experience. They…read moredo cater to the needs, goals, and skill level of each and every student. Your lessons are tailored to you and what you hope to achieve. I originally stepped through the doors a self taught guitarist, unable to read music, with a little talent for singing. I have grown leaps in bounds in a short amount of time now not only able to read but also understand some theory behind music. I have also been complimented by many friends and how much my singing has improved. I was first instructed by Catherine and she is very professional but at the same time kept the lessons interesting and fun. She really helped lay the foundation to that has helped me really understand the fundamentals of music theory. I am now working with Josh and has been a fantastic coach. He's a very positive mentor and has a talent of really dialing in what you need to work on in order to achieve success. I have been fortunate enough on other occasions to work with some of the other teachers and have had nothing but a positive experience and been show great patience. Can't speak highly enough of this studio. OHHH and not to forget SUPER COMPETITIVE PRICES! Trust me I'm kind of cheap and did my research on that part. Thanks for everything guys!

We've attended City Sing and Play for a full year now, and it is the highlight of our week. It's…read morefun for parents and children alike, and has given us a new community of families. Our toddler loves the music and learns new things from each class. Each song, class, and album is thoughtfully constructed to teach children about music and musical theory, and expose them to different cultures, rhythms and instruments. Subscription to the class gets you permanent access to the music, which has been a huge help on long car trips. And Emily makes it very easy to schedule makeups. We love it and can't recommend it enough!

I love City Sing and Play and Ms. Emily. The class is well structured and engaging. As a former…read moreteacher, I appreciate the lesson planning and attention to detail Ms. Emily deploys. She knows every kid's name, engages them but doesn't invade personal space. Wonderful instructor whose musical background is clear at every class. The songs aren't the usual nursery rhymes children know, and instead exposes children to a lot of different styles of music and rhythms. My little one is the kind of kid who is very shy and for the first two semester he mainly hung out at the perimeter of the room... and then we would get home and he'd be clapping the patterns and singing along to the class songs we played on the phone; which is to say, this class has an impact on the babies long after the forty-five minutes are done. And it's a great way to meet other kiddos and parents in the community! Can't say enough so I'll just end with: people had been raving about the class, and we were hesitant and now we are believers raving about the class on review forums because it's such a fun family experience.

I told…read morethem that we needed a piano teacher who was patient and great with kids and they matched them with a teacher PERFECTLY. Saba is wonderful and makes the piano lesson fun. If the boys get off track she gently redirects them and they continue. She also gives them a small piece of candy at the end of the lesson which is great incentive for them to be courteous and focused. Love B&B! I would recommend them to anyone and everyone!!

Our daughter…read morehas learned so much in a relatively short time, and Abigail's teaching style strikes a thoughtful balance between encouraging improvement and staying supportive. She does a great job connecting with students and keeping them engaged, which has made a big difference in our child's enthusiasm for practicing and learning. The in-home lessons are incredibly convenient and honestly the only way we could make lessons work with our schedule. We also really appreciate the performance opportunities they offer, from the annual recital to unique experiences like performing with a live band--such a fun and motivating way for kids to build confidence. Overall, we've been very happy with both Abigail and the program.

As others have noted, the experience here is hit or miss. I missed my child's end-of-camp concert…read morebecause the front desk told me the wrong time. The manager noted an e-mail they sent out, and just shook my hand and walked away. Staff are just random people with musical background, but no training in running a service-oriented organization - typically late to start, conveying incorrect information to parents, etc.. Staff are the kind of people you would meet in record store or second-hand instrument shop, which is not bad, but it leads to poor organization and bad service. In effect, I missed my child's concert that we were both looking forward to.

This is my first negative review on Yelp, unfortunately…read more Poor front desk service and the quality of teacher was substandard even for a beginner. We were optimistic, even excited, at first but immediately my son said he wasn't challenged or engaged by the teacher. My son had a fever the night before his second class so I called first thing in the morning to reschedule. They didn't call me back until when our class was originally scheduled, 1pm and said we would forfeit the class unless we did virtual. Too short of notice and definitely not professional. We canceled and should have taken the advice of two other friends who said they had negative experiences here, too.

She went out of her way to get me an appointment the very same day. The teacher, who matters most (the point of going was to get music lessons, right?), was incredible. He's brilliant. Studied piano since childhood in Venezuela and then lived in Russia for 7 years. He got my son SO HOOKED on piano that I hardly have to ask him to go practice. He loves to do it and I can hardly get him away from the piano. I highly recommend this place. They are really about their craft which is music, not pleasing extra picky sticklers who haggle and whine.

I hadn't taken lessons or been singing regularly for over ten years but Grace helped me tremendously. I took weekly lessons and now I sing with the National Philharmonic Chorale. Grace is an excellent instructor who helps vocalists strengthen and hone their voices AND she is extremely professional and personable. She has a holistic approach to teaching, which includes focusing on the physical aspect of singing (proper body alignment, breath, various muscle constructs/support, etc.), all of which positively impacts a student's ability to create sound. I have really benefited from her teaching approach by embracing and practicing her techniques and it has made all the difference. I highly recommend Grace and Gori Voice Studios.
