We wanted her to continue learning piano and sought out a new teacher. We set up an evaluation with Ms. Theresa earlier this year. And just from the evaluation, my daughter changed her mind about quitting. Ms. Theresa's calm, patient, encouraging, and soothing teaching style was exactly what my daughter needed. She was comfortable with Ms. Theresa from the beginning. She especially loves the games Ms. Theresa uses to teach piano fundamentals. They are a great way to make the lessons fun and engaging. My daughter is more enthusiastic about playing piano, and has greatly improved. She even practices at home more than she did with previous teachers. Lastly, Ms. Theresa's rates are less than what we had been paying previously.

During these times of the COVID-19 pandemic, we have continued our sessions via Zoom. They have worked incredibly well. And I love that she offers the option to record the session. Having the ability to review our lessons has become a key part of my practice and a major reason for my improvement. I highly recommend Juliet. If you're shy about online lessons, then take it from me that Juliet will make you feel comfortable as you work to achieve your music goals.

Juliet's teaching style makes me feel calm and nurtured, and I feel that each lesson also teaches me mindfulness. Juliet cares about keeping the voice healthy and teaches me to sing in a way that does not put unnecessary strain on the voice. I enjoy discussing head voice vs. belt vs. mix with Juliet. Oftentimes, she notices qualities about my voice that I do not, and this helps to steer me into the right direction. I highly recommend taking lessons from Juliet. Aside from being an accomplished musician, she is patient and kind, and provides a lovely environment in which to learn.

Too bad when we got the program I can see ALL THE SONGS we missed from the first show. My niece loves music and loves singing at home so I took her for her first concert! We had a good time and she was dancing in her chair. Our show had piano, violin, guitar and a clarinet guy who was pretty good. One of the kids froze on stage which was cute and sad at the same time, but everyone clapped to help him. Looking at the program the youngest performer was like 4years old - who is still older than my niece. It was alittle confusing to find Musipire on yelp because there are three branches, but I think I will bring my niece back when she gets older.

This review starts with a confession - taking piano lessons is the only new year resolution I was…read moreever able to keep - mostly due to James. He is a great teacher, very professional, very nice and approachable. I enjoy the lessons and I enjoy practicing at home and it's not a chore because I see the results every week, every week I'm getting better, learning more and building on that foundation. What was amazing to me - is that it's theory put right into practice, I was playing right away. I really enjoy his method and I believe it's very effective. Also, half hour sessions are very affordable and we cover enough material for me to keep practicing and playing new pieces. Thank you James!!!

With Leanna's guidance, our child has taken part in the NYSSMA state exam for the past two years--something our previous teacher didn't offer. Leanna also encouraged our child to participate in several music competitions. She never competed before and to our delight, she ended up winning one time! The experience was a huge confidence booster and gave our child a real sense of accomplishment. Watching our child excel and get recognized for her hard work was a very proud moment for us. We're so grateful for how much Leanna has helped our child grow both musically and personally. We couldn't be happier with the experience and would highly recommend Leanna to anyone looking for a thoughtful, talented piano teacher!

As a mom on maternity leave, I really struggled to figure out how to spend my days with my new…read morebaby. I searched for any sort of mommy and me class in the neighborhood. Most start at 4 months old, just in time for me to return to work! I was thrilled to find Music Together and realize that they offer classes for babies as young as newborns. I brought my babe to a free demo class and signed up on the spot. The class is very structured and caregivers are actively involved. Stacey, the instructor, guides you through each song and activity. She has a beautiful voice and is really wonderful with each child in the class - making each feel special and appreciated. She acknowledges that all babies have pressing needs and welcomes everyone to feed and change the babies as needed. Early on, my baby would sleep through large swaths of the class. Stacey explained that despite being asleep, she was still taking in all of the music and knowledge. She's especially great at explaining developmentally how the class is helping each child grow and learn. The songs are fun and I find myself singing them at home without even realizing. My baby lights up when she hears the familiar tunes. This class has been great for providing structure to my maternity leave life, giving me a reason to leave the house, a community of other caregivers to spend time with, and most importantly - my little one loves it!

Besides the unparalleled instruction, she walks out of the studio with a little care package from her peek music lesson: this week she walked out with a triangle, a Hansel and Gretel book and a German flag as the theme was Germany. They have done Italy, orchestra, musical theater, and many other fun themes in the past too. The takeaways are useful at home for practice and little by little she is building her little instrument library. The love with which now Ms Ericka teaches her is just in line with how we felt with Ms. Jenny and Mr. Michael. This place is magical. Practicing piano and violin with my daughter is a highlight every day. We love it!

*this review is for teachers, not students. Students - tone offers wonderful, unparalleled…read moreinstruction* Teachers, do NOT work here. Students, read on if you're curious about who you're dealing with. I was a teacher at Tone until recently, and I wanted to share my experience with Jenny Shaw, the director. While with students she remained professional in her communications, with me she was erratic. At the beginning of our working relationship, I was abroad and also in the process of a huge move, so I relayed to her that I'd be out of touch until a specific date. I admit, in our first calls I was hard to reach, but afterwards I did communicate this very clearly to her. In response, she expressed frustration that I wasn't available enough and was ready to cease the process of hiring me, even after I communicated with her my situation. Furthermore, she'd often push me to speak to her (sometimes beyond business hours) and make time, even when I reiterated that I was busy that day (including at my sister's bachelorette, which she knew about). She'd also share with me highly personal information about students and their families that I felt I probably wasn't supposed to know. BUT what really takes the cake is this situation: Just yesterday, through a connection, I received a dream full-time job opportunity working in generative AI. It was unexpected, and I never would've agreed to work at tone if I knew this would happen for me. Naturally, I accepted the offer and immediately emailed Jenny with a resignation. I was kind, respectful, offered my apologies, and told her I'd be available to assist with any transition/extra off-boarding, and even recommended another teacher I knew she was in contact with to take over for students of mine. Her response to me was very cold. No "good luck", "sorry to see you go", just "email received" and a list of pretty standard off-boarding policies. This was surprising, as we communicated a lot over the last few months. But that wasn't the issue here. What was absolutely shocking was this: she then proceeded to FIRE a teacher that she was going to onboard and train. Because of ME (I recommended him to her). In the email (which was sent at 3:30am), she stated that was reason was "the conduct of an individual who recommended you to us". What was I supposed to do, reject this amazing offer that changes my life so I can continue teaching for Tone? Is that good "conduct" to her? To deny work to a wonderful, highly experience and skilled teacher because I accepted a job opportunity and promptly/gracefully resigned is not only wildly unprofessional, but petty and childish. After all these experience, I can confidently say that Jenny Shaw is the most unprofessional woman I've ever worked with in my career. Again, students, the teachers at tone are wonderful. But if you want a job opportunity at tone, don't work here ever.
