Registration was easy and most importantly, free! The receptionist was really helpful answering all our questions regarding their music piano lessons. Teacher was on time and insightful, my son enjoyed the class. Hopefully he can keep it up!

Good teacher with a good location. However...
1. The timeslot they gave us was not the best
2. My daughter's piano lesson was placed beside the drum room so she was slightly distracted by the noise. I hope they can manage their timeslots a bit better for a more pleasant experience.

UPDATE:
The manager of the school called us and was able to work out another time slot with the same teacher. I appreciate Henry for taking the time to move their schedule to fit what we needed. Excellent customer care!

Booked class over the phone since this place was only a 5 minute drive from my home. The assistant was very knowledgeable in terms of assisting me. Small music studio managed by owner and teachers were punctual and friendly. Will definitely recommend my neighbours!
