My daughter recently performed in her first School of Rock "gig" since beginning to take guitar…read morelessons there. I had not seen the SOR bands perform before. Going in to the performance, I keptr my expectations in check for my daughter, both in terms of her comfort of being on stage and her playing ability. My expectations for the performances overall were tempered as well. I think I expected children to miss notes and to get off rhythm occasionally. I was so impressed with how polished the bands actually sounded. They were all playing music I really enjoy, and doing it really well. I'm even more excited to see how my daughter progresses going forward, and I'm legitimately looking forward to future performances, simply for the chance to listen to good music played well. Thank you to administrators and the instructors for making School of Rock fun for my daughter and for obviously doing such a good job teaching the children to play music.

Collin is also very fair at trying to make sure we are treated fairly when it comes to getting fair value for what we pay for by way of rescheduling lessons and/or crediting us to compensate when makeup lessons aren't an option. *Update as of 12/30/2017 I wrote my previous review based on my personal experience with the intention of returning to resume lessons after taking a short hiatus. I was informed 2 nights ago by a friend that School of Rock abruptly ended their adult program without giving the adult students any notice. I still stand by my positive praise for the teachers. They are great. However this sudden move to end a program that many of us enjoyed and looked forward to without warning is disappointing. This move applies to only 3 locations owned by the same owner. Perhaps there are other SOR facilities that are managed more effectively to accommodate the workload?? I will miss going there and miss the instructors. My experiences with the Elmhurst teachers are nothing less than great. My disappointment with the sudden abandonment of the adult program without any notice remains intact.

Both boys enjoyed the computer work and did not want the session to end. They do birthday parties as well as a monthly membership with one session a week. Parents stayed in a separate room with clear glass so we could watch the kids. After the session ended the boys came out to where the parents were and showed us the games they had built. There was lots of individual attention and there were only three kids in the session. I'm not sure if we will sign up for lessons now because baseball season is beginning but a definite option for the winter when it's cold.

It was nice to see the "teachers" are high school students from the neighborhood and they are able to work with 7-14 yr olds. My son took a 30-minute trial class and we signed up on the spot.

They are very passionate about their work and I feel like I've advanced through their teaching skills. I'm an adult student there, they do fine with the "older student". When my grand daughter turns 5, I intend to enroll her there. In speaking with some of the other parents in the waiting room, they seem pleased with what their children are learning there. Fine facility as well, I enjoy the grand piano that I take lesson on there.

My daughter's piano teacher moved to a different state. We had to find a different teacher.We…read moresigned her up to The Elmhurst Music Academy...a big mistake. My daughter used to love playing piano, now she hates it. The previous teacher was so proud of her; she even took her to a recital. My daughter played with her Beethoven when she was only four years old. People loved it and wanted her to play more. The new teacher switched her books. My daughter doesn't like the new book. When we asked the teacher to switch her back to the series that her pervious teacher was using, her response was no. When we asked why, she said that this book will be too difficult for my daughter!!!!!! She said that without even giving a chance! My daughter already knows most of the songs from that book, she was using it during her performance with the previous teacher . It makes us sad that she cuts my daughter's wings...my daughter used to love piano and now she says that she doesn't want to play because the songs are easy and boring !!!!!! It is hard to hear these words from five years old whose passion is piano music . Before the previous teacher left she asked my daughter not to quit playing because she has a huge potential. We talked to the owner and asked him about switching a teacher. He made us feel horrible... how dare we not to be happy with the service. He said that it was alarming to him that we asked about a different book. Alarming?????? We paid in advance for three months so we asked him politely if he could refund us the money, he said no. The owner made us feel like we are causing a lot of troubles by asking for a different teacher. Do yourself a favor, please chose a different school. There are plenty wonderful teachers and music schools, please avoid this one!!!!

I found JJ Construction through Yelp…read more I would highly recommend JJ Construction. They provided an honest quote. I actually went out and received 4 quotes. While JJ wasn't the lowest, they were the most comprehensive. For example, all of the other quotes quoted the shingles and work, but JJ Construction quoted shingles, tiles, gutters, and all hardware (new fans/vents/gutters). They are highly skilled. They did not rush the project (who wants a roofer who rushes?) and cleaned up every day. Communication was excellent. They installed Class 4 shingles, which lowered my home owners insurance by 20%. The work quality was top notch. I was highly impressed by JJ Construction and I would recommend them to anyone. Thank you Matt, for a great job.

They only use the OwensCorning Duration which is the only one I wanted because it's rated the best by Consumer Reports and many other reviewers. They have seasoned professional carpenters that showed up early and finished in one day. I can't recommend them enough. My wife and I are extremely grateful we found Jacek and Kacper on Yelp. Wonderful service, quality products at the best, fair, reasonable price.
