As a parent of two children that have been studying music and piano for a few years already with…read moreMiss Stephanie and Miss Janice I cannot praise these young ladies for their patience and teaching quality. One of the children didn't want to study music anymore as the previous teacher wasn't accommodating and was not sensitive to the particular needs of a younger kid. Miss Stephanie understood quickly and worked to bring back the love of music the child initially had, at times even "letting" her choose the part from the book that had to be studied first. It did take some time, but right now the younger child is practicing by herself and even is asking for different songs from less traditional music to study (read popular/Disney songs). Both Stephanie and Janice are licensed for teaching and preparing for different music evaluations ( like Certificate of Merit), but my main goal for our children is to instill a life time love for music. If any of them or both will take one of these exams, time will tell, but the teachers are well qualified to support when they will want to do so. Cannot say enough how much I appreciate the flexibility and how they were able to accommodate each child to his/her own learning style. I highly, highly,  did I say highly recommend Miss Janice and Miss Stephanie.

The pool was dirty as well as the chairs and tables the parents sit at. Overall not happy. The one teacher Kathy seemed to look at her watch a lot and waste a lot of time talking instead of having the kids swim. Very disappointing. They also seem annoyed if you don't sign up for additional lessons and ask you over and over again and seem to treat the kiddos differently if u do not continue lessons.

The negative without going into too much detail the lady in charge was very rude and seemed unorganized. IDK but maybe she has too much going on and chose me to vent her frustrations but she treated me very poorly over the phone. I have my kids in so many activities all the time I know finding a good swim instructor isn't hard. I have only had great experiences with coaches I am not re-enrolling my kids because of the lady running it.

I booked a consultation with Sal hoping for some pointers and confidence to get through one karaoke song on a cruise. I explained that I'm terrible and not looking for a career, just a little guidance to keep from freezing on stage. He insisted that I might actually be good (and I again told him I'm not) and said he would assess my potential during the consultation. Sal stopped me one minute into the first singing exercise and said I didn't have what it takes to be a singer [agreed]. What was especially disappointing, though, was that he told me not to get on stage because it would "hurt people's ears" or cause people to leave. He didn't charge me, which I appreciate, but I left feeling deflated. Two stars instead of one because the five minutes spent there were free, but it still cost me a hit to my confidence for the cruise. I really wish he had listened to everything I told him I was looking for over the phone so we could have avoided wasting both his time and mine.

What he does not have, however, are healthy relationship skills or communication skills. He becomes cruel when things don't go his way. He made me uncomfortable numerous times during lessons when he would criticize other students to me. This past Sunday, I told him that I was ready to quit lessons after it became very clear to me that I did not have enough time to be at his studio 4-6 hours per week. I explained to him my husbands frustrating work situation and my lack of childcare. I also just received news that a family member has cancer and told Sal I would need to take a trip to see this family member soon, and that would also take away from my time at his studio. He always told me during my lessons that if I ever feel that I don't have the time to let him know because he does not want to waste my time or his. So, I let him know. He responded by calling me stupid, calling me a liar, and he said I have no talent and no future, (which is hilarious because he has told me time and time again how incredible of a voice I have and how I could make it big). He also used demeaning expletives. Please, save your money and time. Sal knows a lot but he is vindictive and cruel. You can find many other vocal coaches with the same amount of knowledge and expertise, without the cruelty. I worry for other artists that may come to him and be crushed by his words, especially younger people who may not be able to see through the verbal attacks. If you disagree with him, his goal is to make you feel small and insecure and like you are nothing without him. It would be wise to seek vocal coaching elsewhere. And Sal, if you reply to this review with the same vitriol and cruelty that you did to others, just know it reflects poorly on you.

JDS's program, which is funded by the Inland Regional Center, is poorly managed by an executive director I found to be impatient, unpleasant, overly controlling, and easily annoyed. The executive director is also a blatant liar. She lied to me about details of a violent incident by a student that my son witnessed and said that my son was lying about it. However, my son had text messages from another student who also witnessed the incident and basically confirmed what my son told me. I filed a formal complaint about JDS and its executive director with the IRC. JDS had high staff turnover, too. My son told me that seven staff members left while he was there. One staff member who left is now working in the program that my son is currently in along with some former JDS students.
