My daughter has been getting in house lessons from Luis D. since Aug 2022. I couldn't be more…read morepleased. He truly loves the art of making and teaching music. Before meeting my daughter he reached out to me to find out what kind of music and style she's into so he could really connect with her on her level and after each lesson he gives be a progress report. My daughter is very shy, sensitive and insecure. Drums give her an outlet and a break from her academics. Luis' kindness and patience made her feel comfortable immediately and they have been jamming together ever since. It's not all noise and banging either. Luis took extra time to teach my daughter the fundamentals, how to tune her set and share with her a few other trade tricks. Thank you Luis for teaching my daughter the right way to JAM! See you next Thursday!

We continue to take weekly lessons from Ms. Ella and enjoy every lesson.

I would highly recommend Lusine for any student -- beginning or advanced. I am an adult student who…read moretook piano decades ago as a kid. I started lessons with her to ramp up on theory and complete the Certificate of Merit program, which under her direction, I did. Growing up, piano was just about reading and playing the notes. Today, I really appreciate the focus Lusine puts on technique and interpretation. This is something ingrained in her younger students, too -- they play even simple melodies with real feeling and flair. I have never felt closer and more connected to the music I play than now. I have Lusine to thank for that!

Their prices are high, they charge for weeks off for schools and their own vacation time.
