I have nothing but bad experiences at this school in particular in my dealings with Sharon…read moreBurlacoff. I found her offensive stand offish lacking in interpersonal skills and customer service/business acumen. She expected payment on classes that our daughter did not attend due to illness and offered a small percentage of make up classes. When it came to extending any latitude given the excessive absenteeism, she made no exceptions and on several occasions, threatened to discontinue classes for our daughter if the account standing was not "current" She did this quite glibly as if they were working an assembly line not a music school who teaches kids. On several occasions I requested an account ledger to view how many classes we had actually paid for versus the classes we attended and Sharon agreed to divulge. It was not until several requests and weeks later that she refused to divulge, siting privacy issues with the account holder ( my daughter's mother ) even after I had been given the task of having to deal with the account because my x spouse no longer wanted to. If you want personal care with your child in a music school this is not the one.

They do amazing job at teaching not just techniques but also putting more emotion into the music. They know where improvement and practice are needed. Instructors are generally friendly, but sometimes they get impatient if you are a bit slow. 1-on-1 lessons are once per week. They are very strcit with schedules, and cancelling at the last moment results in service charge. Also offered is flexible plan where you go any time of the week if you cannot go with fixed day, but it costs extra. Lessons cover playing instruments and music theory. They offer lessons for anything from guitar to cello as long as it is string instrument.

In November 2010 our youngest child was struck with the notion that he'd like to try violin. Up to…read morethat point, he had been dabbling in piano lessons once a week with a neighbour lady. We found TSS on the web and decided to try a couple of months with Julian Fisher. Julian takes the "whole musician" approach and encouraged our son in ALL aspects of musicianship, whether playing for friends or at Kiwanis festivals. Each year our son had opportunities to play at recitals and in summer at a camp. We were delighted when TSS expanded to include piano (Susan Hamblin Dennis) as well. Next month (June 2014) our son will play his Grade 6 violin RCM exam. In December 2014 he plans to do Grade 9 RCM in piano. We attribute his rapid success in violin and piano to the excellent and nurturing tutelage through TSSP.

Dealing with Elite Music Academy has been a disappointment to put it mildly. I took my son for a…read moretrial lesson as I had read glowing reviews of this school over the internet. The administration is completely unprofessional as I was booked in the wrong time slot multiple times over email and finally when we showed for the lesson, I had to email to query on the whereabouts of the teacher- who had no idea that my son was scheduled for a lesson. I had to wait an additional hour with my son for a free time slot. If you value your time, I suggest that you look elsewhere. If you are sent to their woodbine location, N.B that there is no 'front desk' to welcome you or to provide you additional information. You are greeted to an open space with a few chairs on the left of the room. I was not even sure if I was at the right place. Also, our 1/2 hour trial lesson was only twenty minutes. Since this experience, I will inform prospective lesson seekers that there are other schools that offer FREE trial lessons. This was definitely not worth the $20. I will add that I was offered three free lessons to make up for this experience. This may sound generous; however I do value my time and I would have considered the offer if there was an alternative teacher so that both teacher and student could get off on the right start. They did not have any alternative teacher. It is also my understanding that my experience is not unique but one that is characteristic of this organization- while waiting, I had the opportunity to speak with other parents who told me that the administration is disorganized, but they return because they are happy with the teachers.

We did not like the first one (half of time she was on her phone, came late, and did not really teach anything) and we contacted the manager from StudioVivian and with no problem at all they sent us another teacher who is really good and gave one free lesson. John (current teacher) is very professional, he managed to turn boring music lessons into fun for our son, he is very patient, assigns home work, knows a lot of interesting facts about guitars and music industry. We feel like after every class our kid is becoming more intellegent, and he also likes John a lot. Even though our very first experience was not quite positive I'm still giving them 5 stars because StudioVivian has great customer service, they are trying hard to resolve any issue and very open to discuss any matter. After all, they met my expectations. Thank you, guys!

We had been searching for a piano teacher for some time and learned about StudioVivian - In home…read moreMusic & Piano Lessons online and had a good feeling about it. We contacted them and the first welcome chat to do a music assessment that we had with Cyndi, the director of StudioVivian was so friendly and informative that it gave us the feeling of having the solution, we were looking for. Our seven year old daughter was paired with Ms. Lana Tse to begin her piano lessons. The first class was amazing and our daughter was very happy about it. But before we could enjoy the classes more often, this lockdown situation due to COVID-19 stopped everything. But, many thanks to Cindy, who again contacted us and gave us the option of how we can continue our daughter's piano classes even in this pandemic situation. At first we were a little confused that how will that work but she was the one who insisted us to have a trial online lesson set up and see how it works. It worked perfectly fine and since then my daughter has continually been taking her online classes with Ms. Lana. My daughter has been enjoying her classes with Ms. Lana and is learning the piano very well. We are continually impressed with the quality and content that StudioVivian provides its students. Ms. Lana is an amazing teacher who is very knowledgeable, patient with my daughter and has always been encouraging her building her confidence so far. The lessons are presented well, organized and are followed up with online reviews regarding each class performance. We feel that the price for each lessons are fair and the payment is convenient too. We eagerly look forward to many more lessons (either online or home studio lessons) and watching our daughter learn more. We would highly recommend StudioVivian - In Home Music & Piano Lessons. There is no point of disappointment at all.
