I was very disappointed in working with the owner of this company. Although very nice the communication is terrible and his staff did not know any of the details of a deal i bought through half off depot. I had to call twice to set up my lesson. He never called me back the first time. I did not realize that I had to come for 2 consecutive lessons. I spoke with the woman doing the lesson and said I would not be up that way for two weeks and said we could do the lesson then. She seemed fine with that and did not say anything about the need for two consecutive lessons. I tried to speak with the receptionist, but she had left her desk. I then got busy with life and thought I will set it up for next week. He then contacted me yesterday and said unfortunately I missed my lesson and would have to pay $43 a lesson from here on out. He never sent an email saying we were doing the second lesson or anything. With such poor communication I am sad to say I will not go back to this company or recommend them. The teacher was wonderful and my daughter loved her, but if communication is that poor when you are trying to win a client what will it be like when I am a regular. Update: David just called to offer me another lesson and was very accomodating. I appreciate the call back. He was very kind and professional. read more

My two sons have been taking piano lessons for about a year. I'm rating them a 4 instead of a 5 only because our first instructor wasn't very dependable. However, after his third strike, Dave gladly paired us with a new instructor who's been teaching my boys ever since. He (Galen) is a great musician and very dependable. He calls if he is running less than 5 minutes late. He has great rapport with the boys. I've overheard my oldest telling him "the lesson isn't over, we still have 2 more minutes!" Usually my son is the first one out the door so I find it very telling that he wants every minute of piano lessons and is keeping track. Most of all, I love having lessons in my home where my boys are most comfortable and I am just in the next room making dinner. It saves us much-needed time during the school week and still leaves plenty of time for homework, dinner together and playtime with friends. As far as professionalism, I wasn't looking for strict, rigid instruction and am happy with the service we've been given. Every company has growing pains (I am a small-business owner myself) and I see Dave as someone willing to make necessary changes and improvements. read more

My daughter started with Musicians in Motion a couple of months ago. She takes voice lessons with one instructor and violin lessons with another instructor. Lessons can be in your home or in the studio although if they are in your home they are more expensive (due to travel). So far we have been very happy with both the instruction and the flexibility of the school. Instructors: My daughter is happy with both instructors and really looks forward to her lessons. She is encouraged to practice and now I don't need to "remind" her as often because she feels accountable for making progress from week to week. Both instructors have very good credentials and seem to really care about my daughter and her progress - giving a balance of positive and constructive feedback which keeps her motivated. I can see the progress already. Flexibility: Our second or third week we had a conflict and I was able to reschedule one lesson to my home (on a different day) and the other lesson to a studio lesson on another day. Office: I have had no issues with administration or billing. read more

We have been very happy with receiving piano lessons from Musicians in Motion. My 5 year old and 7 year old have been taking for two months. Ms. Marina is motivating, engaging, and very knowledgeable about music education. She has done a fabulous job adjusting her lessons to my two children's levels and helping them become excited about learning to play an instrument. As for our experience with scheduling with Musicians in motion they have been great. We began our lessons as a small group and found that my children's abilities differed enough to consider individual lessons. MIM helped find another date and time that worked with our hectic schedule. I have compared pricing and found that quality lessons are an investment and the lessons at Musicians in Motion are reasonable when compared with other studios in the area. I highly recommend Musicians in Motion. The studio is convenient, warm, and inviting. Ms. Marina is a great educator and the other instructors we have met in the studio are very engaging and professional. read more

My daughter started piano lessons in November with David and absolutely loves it. She loves his teaching style and looks forward to going every week. She is eager to practice every day and thoroughly enjoys it. She had a previous instructor and left the lesson discouraged and frustrated after every lesson. I honestly thought that she would just give up, so I made the change over to Musicians in Motion. This was a great move. David spoke to me at length on the phone to try and get a pulse on what she knew, how long she had been playing and so forth. He has been extremely flexible with my busy schedule which is much appreciated. Our experience has been great and my daughter continues to learn something new every lesson. Thank you! read more

We have had a fantastic experience with Musicians in Motion. We sent our oldest son (8 yrs when he started) to piano lessons with David Lebel. Our son was introduced to many styles of music in a short period of time (10 months). He has a repertoire of memorized songs and a deeper understanding and appreciation of music. It is a group effort, since parents are encouraged to stay in the class during lesson. This may take a moment to get used to, but it is worth it. I know when my son has been a part of the process or distracted and I know that David, as a teacher, stays involved and attentive no matter what the students' day is like. David is patient and encouraging, while keeping the students on task and interested. read more

I have been taking piano lessons here every week for the past 5 months and couldn't be happier. I always wanted to be able to play the piano but never took lessons as a child and have wanted to find a studio that could accommodate adult students with no formal training and no ability to read music. David and his staff have been fantastic and their program had me playing songs after just a couple of lessons. They are always patient with my skill level (or lack thereof) and flexible with my busy work schedule. After shopping around a few other studios, price and quality of teachers made it an easy choice for me. I really appreciate their work and look forward to getting even better next year. read more

My nine year old son has been taking lessons with David for more than a year and he has progressed significantly. He knows over 50 short pieces and has performed a couple of pieces during Christmas. David is very knowledgeable and patient. He encourages my son to keep practicing regularly which is the best way for the pieces to stick in long term memory. The program is very effective because it utilizes most of your senses and the DVDs are like instructors you can use anytime. I highly recommend it. read more

We are very pleased with Musicians in Motion. When we first started looking for piano lessons for our kids, it was difficult sorting through all the options. Musicians in motion made it easy to match up available teachers with a date and time that worked for us. When our first teacher moved away, we were matched with another one in the same time slot and didn't even miss a week. Billing and payment by credit card is seamless. We could not be more pleased. read more

I took voice lessons with Stephen J for a few months last year. He is by far the best coach I've ever had. Stephen is educated, very patient, gives great feedback and genuinely cares about you not only as a student but as a person. I've taken voice from several other coaches in the Charlotte area and I felt as if I was just a paycheck. Not so here. Stephen helped me build my confidence and set me up for success. I can never thank him enough! read more

He gave me opportunity to learn basics, showed me tricks and most importantly he taught me to be consistent. Price wise not a bad place to start...Thank you. read more

My 9 year old daughter showed an interest in taking violin lessons. I called Musicians in Motion and scheduled for someone to come to my home in south Charlotte for private lessons. The instructor was always on time and very friendly. She was enthusiastic for the violin and her enthusiasm rubbed off on my daughter. I would definitely recommend this business to a friend. It was just too easy. read more

Musicians in Motion has been a great experience! My daughter signed up for beginner guitar lessons. Not only did she learn to play guitar, but she learned much music theory. Her instructor allowed her to guide the lessons to which music she enjoyed. The staff was easy to work with if we had to switch times or days. read more
