He is tough but fair, and no one knows more than he does about the genre of musical theater. He is also a fantastic director and I cannot wait for the opportunity to work with him again. I highly recommend him for all levels! Whether you are just starting out or you are an old pro, you can get so much out of lessons from Rich.

I seriously CANNOT say enough about how well this program is run. I honestly wish all the spaces in my life were this intuitive, communicative, and professional. Every teacher and sub we have been exposed to has been an A+. It also has been so helpful for my kids to interact with working musicians who are at various stages of touring and recording. It makes the pursuit all the more real for them. The Soundlife performances are a wonderful risk free way for the kids to discover who they are as performers. It's sort of amazing how they find ways of building community while also offering 1:1 classes. Soundlife couldn't be easier to recommend.

The Adami Piano Studio has been one of the primary factors in my success as a pianist thus far. I…read morebegan studying at the age of 14 with the ambition of becoming a professional performing pianist, and, despite my occasional doubts of achieving that outcome in the early stages, less than six years later, I am completing my undergraduate studies in piano performance. I have also been awarded several music performance scholarships thus far in my academic career. The Markarians Method not only prepares the pianist for any possible technical challenges in the vastest scope of keyboard literature, but also instills in the pianist a sense of artistic integrity. Emphasis is placed, from the very beginning, on the conceptualization of music as a narrative, and on interpreting sentiment in music. For any individual desirous of expanding their musical literacy, developing basic keyboard skills, or achieving the highest degree of technical ability and artistry in the piano, I strongly recommend they study at the Adami Piano Studio.

Ross is a great instructor with interesting techniques and concepts. Each person depending on where…read moreyou are will be different, but I found that they really helped in letting out my voice and thinking of it as an instrument in new ways. The only negative was some miscommunication with the packaged lessons. I was given the impression that the expiration date wasn't something to worry about, and so the date passed and I had a number of unused ones. It was brought up when trying to schedule the next lesson, and it ended up that none of the remaining lessons could be redeemed without repurchasing. I was really upset and bummed about it, since if I had known the date was a hard and fast rule, I absolutely would've marked it and really made sure to use them in time. So just be aware that in the package, you DEFINITELY need to get your lessons done by the expiration date if you want to use them all. It's probably a good idea to check on those details (the expiration date and how many classes you have left), every month or so, if not every lesson, just to be on the same page. Other than that, the Voice Box was solid. Ross was a great teacher with a lot to learn from, and I took away something new at almost each lesson.

My mom has been wanting to take violin lessons for years now, & she is the hardest person to pick a…read moregift for. So when a friend told me about what a great experience his little cousin had been having with private lessons with a teacher from here right before my mom's birthday, I wondered if they also taught adults. I spoke to the owner, Diba, about my mom & her specific mix of circumstances. She's an older violin newb who doesn't even have an instrument to play, but who has wanted to take lessons for some time. She would likely need a patient teacher, & because my brother & niece went to Juilliard, my mom would have high expectations. Diba was so compassionate, assuring me that they do indeed have adult students, and answering all of my questions about in-home lessons, gift certificates, the best teacher match for my mom & even the option for her to use one of the company's instruments for a first lesson. She also emphasized the level of education and training that all of her teachers have. After we hung up, I figured I should do my due diligence & call a few other places too. After talking to others, I couldn't help but be drawn to coming back here. Other places don't have in-home lessons, or the person I spoke to didn't seem to be able to differentiate one teacher's training or personality from another, and nobody even came close to the level of professionalism that I felt. Diba's warm vibe, her knowledge of all the teachers' personalities & training, & her overall attention to detail, made me feel like this would be the best choice for my mom. So I got her a gift certificate for a lesson for her birthday. It took a while for my mom to be ready to schedule, but once she did, it was easy for her to book. True to her word, Diba sent a teacher to my parents' house with a violin for my mom to use during the lesson. After the lesson, my mom went on about how well trained & patient her teacher was, how easy it was for her to have the lesson in her home, & how much fun she had. She had such a good experience, that she's talking about buying a violin of her own, & taking more lessons! Diba has series packages, so now I thankfully have ideas for future gifts for my mom too. Thank you Diba for answering all my questions, and for matching my mom up with such a patient teacher!

During my sophmore year in high school, I got a guitar as a birthday gift and decided to begin…read moretaking lessons, but unfortunately dropped out after 6 months of lessons. 10 years later, I decided to pick up guitar lessons again. I decided to try lessons again because I wanted to have a relaxing post-work activity that wasn't watching TV all night -- plus I hadn't been very successful at trying to teach it to myself for the past decade. I found The Royal Music Academy on yelp and decided to take guitar lessons with them. They are exactly the kind of studio I was looking for...fun and relaxing, but they still push you enough to make it rewarding as well. The lessons are tailored to what I want to learn, which is very important to me as an adult, because I want to love the songs I play. My instructor is an expert in many different styles and can teach me any song I want to learn. I decided to branch out and focus on classical, and he helps me get through the book (The Christopher Parkening Guitar Method), while also teaching music theory, sight reading, ear training and memorization skills. But on weeks when I know I'll be too busy to practice, we just go through a super simple Beatles song and have fun listening to the song, playing it and singing. It has been such a joy to learn new things and feel a sense of accomplishment through guitar lessons and I would absolutely recommend The Royal Music Academy to anyone who wanted to learn how to play the guitar.
