The summer camp experience was fantastic! The instructors were incredible with the kids, and we were very impressed with how much they learned in such a short amount of time. I would highly recommend School of Rock to anyone with a kid interested in learning an instrument in a fun way.

My 6 yr old had a demo lesson for the rookie class yesterday and he loved it. The instructor was amazing, the facility is nice. No complaints. He will definitely be returning!

Pretty cool place. I dropped my nephew off for his lesson and was amazed at how awesome the set-up and employees were. Thanks, SoR! You rock!
We are so happy with our experience at CMA. Lauren Le Roux is a patient, kind, and knowledgeable educator! We appreciate her communication and clear expectations.

SOR is the greatest! Wonderful staff!
I've taken lessons from Michael Kotur for the last few years and have had an amazing experience. As an intermediate adult student, it has been difficult finding someone that has the right style for me.

He's incredibly patient, but knows how/when to challenge you, and is focused on my musical needs 100%. It's rare to find someone who is good at explaining challenging musical concepts simply, but he manages to do it on a weekly basis. He's always forward-thinking and encouraging me to push myself musically as well.
Lauren is wonderful! She spoke into some insecurities I have carried for a long time and built me up and encouraged me. I noticed almost immediate improvement by following her vocal instructions and doing the warm ups regularly. She is a good listener and made me feel very comfortable.
Thank you!
Our daughter is learning is how to play Ukulele from Michael Kotur. He teachers her the principles of music that she can apply to music playing for her lifetime. He incorporates music into lessons based on her interest and what she can play at our church. She looks forward to lessons each week.
Joel is a great teacher. I decided to learn banjo in my 30s with no previous musical background, and he made learning easy and fun! He is approachable and patient and I'd recommend him to anyone.
Mr. Michael is great musician and a fun teacher. He has inspired by daughter to stick with guitar with his positive and spirited nature! I highly recommend music lessons with Mr. Michael
Michael Kotur is an outstanding guitar teacher and I highly recommend him to anyone seeking guitar lessons, of any age. He is funny, easy-going, consistent, professional, and personable. He can adapt to any student's needs and skill level. Both of my children have been taking lessons with "Mr. Michael," and they (and I) love him. My children have played a variety of instruments, with exposure to different teachers throughout their journeys. Mr. Michael is the best. It is obvious he has spent decades of his life teaching students how to play the guitar.
Michael is a great guitar teacher. He uses very unique methods that make it fun and memorable. I am convinced that the reason my daughter continues to take guitar lessons has everything to do with Michael Kotur teaching them

I attended the Scotty Bratchar seminar today at the Music Salon. This session was incredible. Thank you to Sean and Scotty for an fantastic afternoon. Great learnings, a fantastic run down on Scottys rig, along with funny and wonderful stories. Visit the Music Salon for lessons, instrument rentals, and guitar repairs.
You can thank me later!

So I took my son for a trial run with a group of kids at this school last week on a Monday at the Madison Rd location, which he was so excited about, so he went in with (i forget her name..jenny?) and he was just excited about all the instruments, it was only him and another boy. I guess my son was too much for her because she said that he was not really focused on just one instrument and kind of all over the place and recommend Music Therapy because she is a music therapist and that an hour was too much for him, ( I was kind of shock and a little hurt that I didn't even ask her any other questions, but said ok and left) but she didn't recommend her services for a personal session or anything, so my husband called the next day and asked about the lady (the music therapist) that did the trial run with Aaron if she can call him back and recommend her services or if she has a referral. its been a little over a week and she has not returned his call. I also did tell them in the beginning he has a vision impairment) I just wish someone would of reached out and recommended something because my son loves music and he is not a bad kid.

I started taking lessons with Sean at the beginning of the year, and I love it. Sean is a fantastic teacher who does a great job of explaining things to a relative beginner like me. Moreover, I'm blind, so it sometimes takes a bit of extra creativity and ingenuity to teach things in a non-visual way. Sean has always done an awesome job on this front. We cover a lot in our hour-long lessons, and I love how he makes sure we recap everything at the end so nothing gets lost. I love how most of our lessons are built around different songs, which is cool because I learn some awesome riffs and pick up some really helpful techniques from each song that I can use in the future. I feel like I've come a long way since I started, and I look forward to our continued progress. I'd also recommend Sean and the Music Salon to anyone who wants to learn an instrument. No matter what level you're at or how old you are, it's never too late to start!
Fantastic all around! Two of my children, and myself, have been taking lessons for 1.5years (1 acoustic guitar, 1 electric guitar, 1 baritone ukulele). We’ve had a awesome experience with Sean who has excellent patience with our developing skill levels, caters to individual music preferences to play, and continues to help us grow into better musicians. Also, the new studio and services provided are great! The guitar spa is convenient, efficient and we have utilized it for guitar setup tweaking and string changes.
Youngwon French, my piano teacher, is not only highly skilled and knowledgeable, but she also has a true passion for music and teaching. She has a way of making each lesson both challenging and fun, and she is always willing to go above and beyond to help me achieve my goals.

She has a unique ability to understand my strengths and weaknesses and adjust her teaching methods accordingly, which has allowed me to improve in areas where I previously struggled. She also encourages me to explore different styles of music, which has helped me to expand my musical horizons and become a more well-rounded pianist.

In addition to her technical expertise, my piano teacher is also a great listener and communicator. She is always able to answer my questions and provide feedback, and she has helped me develop a deep understanding of the music I am playing.

Overall, my piano teacher is truly an inspiration and a valuable asset to anyone looking to improve their piano skills. I can't recommend her enough, and I am grateful for all that she has done for me.

The Music Studio more than exceeded my expectations for guitar lessons for my son. As a parent, I wanted to be sure that my son would be safe and relaxed in order to be receptive to instruction. I have been very pleased with Sean and the instruction he gives. He took the time to consider my son's preferences and abilities and capitalized on his strengths and patiently works through the more difficult challenges.

My son is progressing very well, enjoys his lessons, and seems to connect with the lesson materials, since I never have to nag my son to practice. I may even be a little jealous, because I also play guitar, but never had the benefit of lessons.

We are all really looking forward to the launch of the new facility which surely will bring a whole new dimension to the learning opportunities available through The Music Salon. This is going to be awesome!

Easy 5 stars

At 68 I was finally done with air guitar. I discovered The Music Salon and Sean from my 14 year old neighbor who was learning guitar for the first time. After two years he plays clubs with a rock band and duets with a inspiring vocalist. I look forward to my weekly lessons with Sean. We work on music that I am interested in and things that are targeted to my skill level. I highly recommend Sean and the Music Salon if you want learning guitar to be fun this is the place for you. I wrote and performed a a song with him my first year!

My 14-year-old son Jack loves his guitar lessons with Sean! Sean has a very warm, friendly demeanor that makes it easy for my son to connect with him and feel very comfortable. Sean challenges Jack just enough to push him to his potential while being very patient and encouraging. We couldn't ask for a better experience!

Two of my boys took bass and guitar lessons from Sean for about two years. I cannot recommend him enough! Not only did they develop a life long love for playing, but due to Sean’s teachings and guidance, the boys were able to join a band and play on some major stages around the city beginning at the ages of just 13 and 14.
Youngwon offers personalized private lessons that my daughters enjoy going to. Atmosphere is calm and extremely clean with two gorgeous grand pianos. She also has a beautiful voice and sings/hums the tunes while the kids play. FIVE STARS!!!
Youngwon is simply wonderful. She’s an accomplished pianist, composer and gifted teacher whose love for music is contagious. My two daughters started taking lessons with her just over 6 months ago, and they have already learned so much. She makes music exciting, and has an amazing way of explaining difficult musical concepts in a way they understand. She is positive, patient and nurturing. She teaches them to be dedicated and to persevere in their practice, all while having fun learning and making music. I am so grateful they have her as a teacher.
My daughter and I absolutely love Ms. French. We started at age 5.5, once a week, 30 minutes and she’s playing piano with songs memorized and doing recitals and I’m beyond impressed. She keeps the kids interested in their lessons and the desire to continue playing piano. I have a very irregular work schedule and she is always gracious in trying to make our weekly lessons work, including doing virtual lessons. Couldn’t recommend her more- 2 of my friends’ kids also go here! Can’t wait to get my second kid in lessons too!

Trying to learn piano as an adult after never consistently playing an instrument earlier in life was a bit daunting, but Youngwon has helped me progress by leaps and bounds in just a few short months. She’s a fantastic teacher and has given me the consistent coaching and confidence I needed to stick with it and continuously improve. I can’t recommend her lessons highly enough for both adults and children.
Youngwon is amazing! She has been wonderful with our kids from day one and we are in awe of how far they’ve already come in such a short amount of time. They really enjoy going to her home and enjoy practicing too! She is really wonderful with communication and sharing their progress. If you want hands on, special attention with your kids, she is the teacher for you!
My 8-year old daughter has been taking lessons with Ms French for over a year now and she loves going to class:)
Apart from being a passionate and skilled piano teacher, she is very perceptive about the personality of the kid and truly cares about teaching in a fun, yet disciplined manner.
Her communication with the parents is great, she lets you know about areas of improvement and sends across videos of their special moments too.
We feel incredibly lucky to have Ms French guiding our daughter's musical journey!
Just started and i already love it!

Sean is an excellent guitar teacher. When he first meets with you he evaluates your skill level and tailors his lessons specifically for you. He recognizes that not everyone learns in the same way. He also likes to balance technical learning with the fun of learning to play songs. Over the last five months or so, my skills have increased and I am playing better than I ever have in my life. Thank you Sean!

This place is great! My daughter took an intro lesson to see what she thought. Being a teen she was nervous at first and hesitant to go. Came out of the building happy and excited. She loves her instructor and what’s she is learning. She would go every day if possible. They are professional, warm, fun, and friendly. My child loves this place!
They have a cool program where you can do lessons on your instrument or voice. And then, if you choose to you can join a band also which meets there weekly. You get to decide what level you sign up for. It’s been a huge hit with my kiddo! Wish I had signed my older child up years ago.
They offer a really great program and we are so happy a friend turned us on to it!
No one asked for this review- we are just that happy about it.

Was really good instructor was patient and no pressure at all will go back.
Youngwon French has been so wonderful at teaching my kids piano! My son was 7 when he started. He learns best when he understands how things work. Ms. French identified this in his learning style and stopped during one of his first lessons mid-lesson to explain to him how the piano was built and let him watch the strings in the back of the piano as she played. I was so impressed at her perceptiveness. My kids love Ms. French!
