When I lived in the Cincinnati/Dayton area, I studied both piano and flute at the Toedtman School…read more I had the privilege of studying with John Toedtman when the school was still located on Mosteller Road in the beautiful mansion there. Although it was a significant drive from my home in Springboro, I don't ever recall complaining about the distance. It was well worth the trip. John is an excellent teacher and a stellar human being. The fact that he still performs, for me, added to the credibility of his teaching: he practiced what he preaches (literally). Although it has been many years since I studied there, John and I are still in touch and still exchange ideas, stories, and recommendations on great piano playing and teaching. The school is a music school for life and the teachers that I have met are stellar.

We…read morekept playing phone tag beore the lesson, so we only really introduced ourselves in person, which was fine, but we could've saved some valuable time had that initial call gone through. There was also a mix-up with scheduling. I paid/scheduled for a full hour, but he only had us down for a half hour. We rescheduled and should be good moving forward. My instructor gave solid insight to the craft, and explained things well. I had a firm grasp of the basics when everything was said and done. Looking forward to the next one!

Ok, so I've only been twice. Once for my daughters violin lesson and most recently for my other…read moredaughters voice lessons. Yet, even with just the two visits I am loving this place! The receptionist is very nice and always welcoming both on the phone and in person. From what I can see they are very efficient with their facilities. It's very safe for the kids all glass doors and seats for the parent to sit right outside the door. They also allow the parents to sit inside the room if they wish. For coffee lovers they have coffee for you. I'd love if they add tea!!! Hint hint. Lastly, they won my vote when they told me about their complimentary WiFi, that actually works!!! I'm looking forward to many more sessions!!

I'd try one of the other Cincinnati music shops like Mehas Music. Willis has always been one…read moredisappointment after another for me and my family. I've tried to do business with them and have never been successful. They declined a brass repair of mine at one of their instrument repair locations which is now closed, but was very unprofessional about it. Last week my 13 year old and I spent several days choosing a new trigger trombone for him stepping up from his entry level trombone. We ended up choosing one on the Willis Music website with his middle school band instructor's approval and placed the order with Willis online late one evening. This was one within our budget and checked all of our boxes plus it was new...we thought we were going to need to take our chances on a used model. Credit card was charged. I woke up the next morning to my son still super excited asking when it would arrive, and that he had already been awake two hours watching videos and reading about it. I was really excited for him. Later that morning I received an email that the order had been canceled and a refund would be issued with no alternatives offered. They said it had been discontinued, but the manufacturer still makes this model just with a new backpack style case which is the one they displayed in their listing. They ended offering to get us that same trombone we had purchased (because it wasn't discontinued), but it would be $600 more than I had paid on their website the night before. They also assured me this $600 additional was a great deal. Such a scam and a waste of time. They certainly don't attempt to make things right in any way...unreal let down for my son. I wouldn't trust them and especially their website/online ordering. This also had our budget tied up in the authorization on my card for a week. We ordered a used trigger trombone on eBay, and will be taking it to Mehas Music to have it checked out, cleaned and any repairs.
