Here are what TCMS families are saying…
My son loves taking guitar at TCMS! His instructor has him working on his favorite popular songs--that's really piqued his interest. He even performed at his school's "music share"--that's something I never expected from him. Scheduling is simple and when we ran into a conflict mid-quarter, TCMS moved his lesson time to something that worked for us. We highly recommend TCMS!!
What a great school! My kids were given a gift certificate for music lessons at this school and it is awesome! The instructors are kind and patient, they teach everything from guitars and drums to studio engineering, and they seem to be supremely knowledgeable from top to bottom. The space is about perfect! In the waiting room alone they have video games and toys to keep the kids happy, a sweet baby grand piano, and even art on the walls for us bigger kids. We are going to purchase the rest of the lessons to complete the session as it is a great value. Twin Cities Music School is truly a gem, my kids had a blast!
My son has been going here since they opened. Both Adam and Kelly are patient and fantastic teachers. My son has gotten help with both his bass and sax. Whether it is learning the basics or developing a riff for a jazz band audition Adam has been able to provide instruction in both the theory and the execution. If you want to learn to play or you want to understand the theory behind music Adam and Kelly can help you grow as an artist. I'm now signing my daughter up as well.
My son has been taking lessons with Adam at Twin Cities Music School for years. He loves his lessons, and has learned a lot. Teachers Adam and Kelly are both awesome with kids and awesome music teachers. The sign-up process is also well-run and efficient.
So happy we found Twin Cities Music School! Sam is wonderful with our little girl and has fed her passion for music! I would recommend this school and any of its instructors.
