Mary Ann Hall's Music for Children is a music appreciation school for infants, children and parents…read moreand has locations in Norwalk, Southport, Greenwich, Fairfield and Darien (as well as Manhattan and locations in the Bay Area of San Fran.) My young children have loved the class for the lively and fun atmosphere, the instruments they can play themselves and the ability to move and groove when they want to. As a parent, I love the class because each teacher is a musician and can play at least two instruments. In addition each teacher is so warm and friendly - they really enjoy what they do. The youngest ones go to class with a parent. At age 4 or 5 they go by themselves. My 5 year old is being introduced to the piano and next year she can start the recorder. The musical notes and tempos have been taught since day one although the kids may not have realized it. The school has researched music education with children extensively, however they really have their own brand when it comes to the music they teach and play. All the music is their own and the kids really connect with it. I highly recommend this school!

I was a piano student at Edgewood from elementary school all the way until my high school…read moregraduation. While I disliked practicing at home, I fully appreciate the valuable lessons learned at Edgewood. Edgewood Music Studio employs extremely talented and knowledgeable teachers who work well in identifying student's weaknesses and develop techniques in order to help improve them. The teachers are extremely flexible in scheduling. In the nine years I went there, I rarely had a canceled lesson, and in the event my teacher could not be there, a suitable substitute was available. The director, Joan (who was also my teacher), holds lessons at her house. In addition to an annual recital, we had regular master classes so we could socialize with other students and hear them play. Joan pushes her students to the best of their abilities (we had to memorize our recital pieces). Joan did a great job in customizing a lesson plan with me. I started off with the Alfred Music books, which were divided into levels (1A/1B through 6). Each level progressively got more challenging. Once the I learned basic concepts in different styles of music, a classical component was introduced, and I was given more chord and note exercises to improve technique (I did Hanon's Virtuoso Pianist in 60 Exercises, which got more challenging each week). Students were also required to complete weekly theory exercises in order to retain new concepts.

He has a comfortable little space for lessons, with flexible class times, and various pricing packages. The flexible class times are a huge selling point for me as a busy, working professional who may not be able to attend the same class time/day week in and week out. Mark does a fantastic job of breaking down complex concepts into easily consumable learnings to expedite your results/progress. In addition to being an excellent teacher, he graciously helped me navigate the guitar buying process, when I was ready, to make sure that I was getting something that suited my needs, and not overpaying for it. If that isn't enough, he's still active on the local gig circuit and performs fairly regularly, talk about a guy who walks the walk!
