Starting in 2013 my son has taken music lessons at the Elite Music Academy. I have found them to be very professional about musical instruction, lesson scheduling, organizing recitals and also their fee structure and billing. Elite teachers are all very qualified to teach music and are very good at working with children. I recommend Elite Academy highly for any family looking for great musical instruction.
