Our son has been going to Piano classes at Musica Academy for over 4 years and we are amazed at the level of musical ability he developed over these years. Musica Academy also provides performance opportunities for kids through Annual concerts and other events.

My 4 yo daughter just finished the JMC 1 class and she learned a lot and had a great time. The curriculum and class structure is great for young kids: interesting and challenging but not overly frustrating. Great learning materials provided and the group lesson style is lots of fun.

We are really happy with the Yamaha Music School. Sheila McPherson is an excellent piano teacher. She knows how to connect with with the kids, and uses creative ways to motivate and inspire students with a love… of music. Most of all, I really think the Yamaha method is an excellent way to approach music development. I can say that with confidence as I have been exposed to Suzuki and RCM methods myself. I would highly recommend.
