If you want your child to receive first class instruction in music then look no further than SAMA. The rates are very reasonable and they work their best to comply with your schedule. As a parent SAMA is the best.

I highly recommend LJE private music lessons. A wide range of instruments and talents are taught…read more The teachers are all very capable, personable and encouraging to their students. The staff goes out of its way to schedule make-up classes when needed. My four kids have been attending lessons for guitar, violin, piano and drums for just under two years and we forsee a longstanding relationship with this group. Mark Gray and Lily Skipper are great teachers and very patient. And by the way, the lessons are not for children only. I see plenty of adults taking lessons as well!

My son attended 2 acting classes. The class took place in the evening from 6-8pm once a week and…read morethe price included 8 classes and a performance at the end. My son, after the 2 classes and missing the 3rd decided he didn't want to return. I made a payment on the day he was due to return, and an hour later he told me he didn't want to go back. I called and asked if they could refund my payment since we won't be attending the second half of the sessions, and was told it's against policy. Prior to making the payment, I received a text that he was no longer enrolled because of lack of payment. They were completely fine with unenrolling him for lack of payment but once I paid it, that seemed to evade them. Now it's "our instructors depend on that." They're depending on fees from the parents of finicky kids. It's disgusting and predatory. They shouldn't be offering classes for kids if they don't understand their nature. Not to mention having my son walk through the weeds to some creepy shed where the class was held. DO NOT RECOMMEND.

UPDATE: someone from Alamo Strings reached out to me to say the contracts are stored digitally and…read morethe originals are destroyed. Also that I can exit the contract with no penalty. I do believe at the store I was told the paper was securely kept at a different location and wasn't digital storage. I believe the person who contacted me about the digital storage is correct but that definitely wasn't fully explained. Also why can't I do it online if that is the case? I gave two additional stars on their review because of the quick outreach but still don't like giving my Social Security Number on top of all the other info. And have no idea why a third relative is necessary. Also if this was better explained at the point of sale it would have eased a lot of my frustration. ORIGINAL REVIEW This place is awful. We were sent there by my child's elementary school. It was the only choice we were given which makes it so much worse. They have very poor business practices. They require a social security number which they keep written down which is very poor security practice. Also they require spouses name address phone and an additional relative's name, address and phone. I understand checking my drivers license and keeping information including credit card on file but all of this is unreasonable. Further it definitely should not be kept on a single piece of paper. Further we are renting because my daughter has never played violin and she may hate it. But they require a 32 month contract! This is for fifth grade, yet the contract goes through the end of seventh grade. That is also not reasonable. The staff were also rude. When I complained and questioned these things I was told I could purchase the instrument out right if I didn't like it. Again this was the only option given to us by the school. The owner appeared on the parents meeting zoom call. If he is going to work directly with the school he should have better business practices.
