He played something on the piano for us and then let my son play on the drum set because he felt kids need an outlet during the pandemic. My son had a blast playing the drums. Thank you so much for your kindness today! The world needs more people like you :)

The owner Jiyoung Johnston has no true care for the education/welfare of your children. Jiyoung…read moreJohnston will charge for a recital that does not have the equipment/instruments your child requires for their performance, making an extremely embarrassing and awkward situation for young performers, then she will attempt to bribe and intimidate your child. My 9 year old daughter has been studying electric guitar at Lone Star Music Academy since August. This has consisted of weekly in person sessions at the North Dallas location. On 11/2 she had her very first recital and was extremely nervous and excited, both sets of grandparents and aunts/uncles were in attendance. Upon arriving I checked in with Wendy who is the director of the Flower Mound location, I asked her if everything was set up for my daughter and Wendy assured me that a guitar and amp was in the next room and would be used. Once my daughter was called to the stage there was no guitar, there was no amp. After grabbing our guitar that we happened to have in the car and setting her up we were told there was no amp. Wendy made no move to assist, her helper attempted to move a microphone close to my daughter's electric guitar so the audience could hear her. I ended up having to hold the microphone close while my daughter played. No one could hear her ELECTRIC GUITAR and it was extremely awkward, my daughter was extremely embarrassed, the setup was horrible, and her instructor was not present (all other instructors were there with their students). Afterwards Wendy avoided me as I requested to speak with the owner Jiyoung Johnston. Jiyoung Johnston stated she was unaware of what instruments the students played and had assumed my daughter was playing piano. She became aggressive saying we should wait along with our entire family and have my daughter perform at the next recital scheduled for one hour later. This was a worthless suggestion because there was NO AMP at the MUSIC ACADEMY that my daughter could use. Jiyoung Johnston then asked to speak with my daughter and walked her down the hall to be out of earshot. I then saw Jiyoung Johnston pull my daughter into a room and stand with her back to the door blocking my daughter from walking out. before my wife made it to the room to get our daughter Jiyoung Johnston told my daughter "Your father is upset, perform again so he won't be mad" then made promises of "feeding her" which is disturbing in itself. Jiyoung Johnston only made excuses and has not apologized or reached out. I was charged $25.00 for a recital fee and have demanded to be reimbursed but have received no correspondence. My daughter is nine years old, this was her first public performance and it went so badly due to no fault of her own, she practiced every day for months and she was failed completely by Lone Star Academy. Right now my daughter has no desire to perform again, I am sure that will change in the future, and it is fine if it does not but the fact that she was excited and was let down so badly by the adults who were in charge of making sure the recital went well is unbelievable and disgusting. Kids remember and traumatic events can really stay with them for the rest of their lives.

Mrs. Wunsch piano teaching methods are totally revolutionary. As a beginner taught traditionally,…read moreafter a year I was ready to quit, thinking that my 56 year old brain was simply not able to put the two hands finally together... This amazing woman rocked my world! Her knowledge of how the human brain works combined with her music carrear and life long quest to be the best teacher she can be, is making a huge difference. She also believes that if a student doesn't improve, is the teacher's job to find the way to help a brain that is stuck! She brought tears to my eyes... I am devoted to my piano practice; used to practice 2 hours a day! Developed pain in my thumbs saddle joints to the point of interfering with my job... that's when I quit; a year into it. Than I met Mrs Wunsch... she asks you to practice 10 minutes a day, twice a day, both hands TOGETHER in a certain pattern of the sheet music... Her lessons are only 30 minutes long; when the brain gets "mush" is useless, she says! She is also happy to share her unique story in the music industry, her life in Europe as a student and more. Bela Bartok is what i am studying as a beginner... and it works! Thank you, dear Cynthia, for bringing the joy of music back into my life. With respect and love, Stefania

She is kind, caring, and fair with her pricing when it comes to how much you are learning that isn't taught anywhere else in the way she knows how to teach it. Her piano lessons have just as a stellar outcome as her vocal lessons whenever a student puts true effort into the material taught and given during and between classes. Please do yourself a favor and put Ms.Cynthia at the top of your list for private music teacher!
