Teachers and Quality of Lessons
The music school has received praise for its knowledgeable and experienced teachers, including Ms. Aziza, who has been recommended by a family who had a 3-year-old daughter fall in love with her violin playing. Another reviewer, Luka Bentone, mentions that the teachers are "knowledgable and experienced." This suggests that the school takes great care in selecting and training its instructors.
Consistency and Communication
The school's communication style has also received high marks from reviewers. Ms. Aziza is described as "very disciplined but sweet at the same time" and is said to have waited three years for the reviewer's daughter to be old enough for lessons. This level of dedication and responsiveness is valued by the reviewer.
Value and Pricing
In addition to the quality of teaching, the school's pricing is also commendable. Luka Bentone notes that it is "probably the least expensive in town, " making it an attractive option for families.
Management Issues
However, not all reviews are positive. Nasha's 1-star review expresses strong dissatisfaction with the school's management. According to Nasha, the managers prioritize making money over the well-being of students and the quality of music education. Nasha also criticizes the over-crowding of students and the subsequent noise levels, which can be distracting.
Overall
While the school has received praise for its teaching staff, consistency, and pricing, Nasha's review highlights concerns about the management's priorities.
