I raised what I believed were safety concerns regarding this facility and repeatedly attempted to…read morediscuss them with management. Despite numerous emails and phone calls, I did not receive a response from either the manager, James, or the owner, Charles as promised. Because my concerns remained unresolved and communication was lacking, I decided to cancel my son's lessons. The cancellation process was frustrating, and I felt that my requests were not handled in a timely or customer-focused manner. Another concern was what appeared to be a high turnover of instructors during the time my son was enrolled. Frequent changes in teachers made it difficult to maintain consistency in instruction and the student-teacher relationship. Overall, I was disappointed with the level of communication, responsiveness, and continuity of instruction. Based on my experience, I would encourage prospective customers to carefully evaluate whether this music school meets their expectations before enrolling.

Irina is an amazingly talented musician and inspiring teacher. Over this time, I have also gotten to know Feliks Volozhanin, Director of the String Program. I have seen first-hand how skilled and inspiring Feliks is with his many young cellist students. They always seem anxious to begin their lessons, and, of course, they love learning from him. This is a welcoming, inviting, and family-oriented School with a Faculty of dedicated professional teachers trained at the highest levels of their musical craft and chosen instrument. Whether you are an absolute novice or a musical prodigy, young or old, you will find this a great place to study your chosen musical instrument. It is a pleasure to highly recommend the Russian School of Music.

It is with great pleasure to recommend Feliks Volozhanin as your next musical instructor for Cello…read more Feliks had been my son's Cello instructor since last March 2018. In this time, Feliks played a pivotal role in encouraging their love for his Cello. Our son was also able to advance his musical skills through direct lessons with Feliks. He has been able to play pieces from "Bach" to " Camille Saint-Saëns "The Swan " since that time with Feliks and The Russian School of Music. I have read and researched that music programs improve individual's communication skills and overall quality of life. Music allows individuals of all abilities to feel empowered, and improve their critical thinking skills, verbal fluency and mathematical abilities. I believe that adding Feliks and The Russian School of Music to your child's strings endeavor will truly enhance your child's musical abilities. Since our son has been playing the Cello he has built and added positive character traits, and a sense of achievement for him.

At the start of the year he was really behind in both subjects, and now he is not only caught up but actually doing well and feeling confident. Lennie's patience has made all the difference. My son can be challenging at times with his ADHD, but Lennie knows how to keep him engaged and on track without ever making him feel pressured. He has also helped him with executive functioning skills like organizing assignments and staying on top of due dates, while still letting him explore the parts of the subjects that interest him most. That mix of structure and encouragement has helped my son build real momentum. I am so thankful for everything Lennie has done and would recommend him to anyone looking for a tutor who is both supportive and effective.
