The school provides excellent facilities and an environment to promote music learning and a sense of community for music lovers. Both owners are devoted and passionate musicians and educators, they are always very helpful and friendly. Below is a review from my son about his clarinet teacher: Things in life can be frustrating. For example, remember that time where you just couldn't play a note right or got lost in the rhythm while playing a musical instrument? A solution is to be guided by someone, and your best bet is Mr. Gary. Not only is he a well-trained musician, he is a great teacher who is patient, encouraging and inspiring. He is a very talented musician who plays 5 instruments, saxophone, Irish pennywhistle, clarinet, piano and flute. He plays for concerts, bands, special events, school or company events, cruise ships, and even different countries. He also won many awards for his beautiful music and his hilarious comedy. He is a very good teacher, and I feel very lucky to be his student. He taught many things such as songs, exercises, musical theory, and much more. He's a funny, kind and smart person, and his class is always very helpful and interesting. He also devotes his own time to help his students out as needed. In conclusion, Mr. Gary is a great teacher, musician, and man.

My son has been working with Lennie in Algebra 2/Trig and Spanish 2, and the progress has been…read moreamazing. At the start of the year he was really behind in both subjects, and now he is not only caught up but actually doing well and feeling confident. Lennie's patience has made all the difference. My son can be challenging at times with his ADHD, but Lennie knows how to keep him engaged and on track without ever making him feel pressured. He has also helped him with executive functioning skills like organizing assignments and staying on top of due dates, while still letting him explore the parts of the subjects that interest him most. That mix of structure and encouragement has helped my son build real momentum. I am so thankful for everything Lennie has done and would recommend him to anyone looking for a tutor who is both supportive and effective.

She doesn't have any experience playing any instrument, but when my husband contacted Lennie he happily agreed to meet with us even during rainy days. Lennie also got the generous sponsorship of Mrs. Casanave who was looking forward to sponsoring a girl trumpet player! The positive energy and passion of Lennie got my youngest daughter interested in playing trumpet too! Now both of my daughters are looking forward to practice in their weekly lessons, eventually be part of Lennie's band camp, and the 4th of July parade! I am so grateful and blessed to have found Lennie!!!

This is just sharing my experience with voilin lessons I received here. They assign you a person…read morethat knows violin, but is not specialized in it. The person we had nit pick time with us. You start at exactly the time you are suppose to be there at and you end at that exact time, not a second earlier. The service and lessons feel very impersonal and it was not a good vibe to start lessons. Also, you cannot reschedule your appointment if your child is sick or you cannot attend for a reason. You get a online lesson sent to you, not the one on one you paid for. WAA does explain this to us in the beginning, but at the end, this was one of the many reasons we didn't move forward. If you are looking for violin lessons, look for someone that specializes in only that instrument. We did not get that here.
