The Scottsdale Studio of Music — Local services in Scottsdale

if you are looking to just park your kid somewhere to have some fun with music - this is your place. If you care about music education - this is not it!

We came in very excited for a trial lesson with 2nd grader who has a couple of years piano education already in NYC. We were told the teacher will leave feedback for us and we can book after we better understand the plan. We take piano and music educations seriously - unfortunately this establishment seems more interested in booking spots rather than educating kids for music. We got one line feedback from Ms Erin “looking forward to working with you” - with nothing about the lesson, our daughter, or anything else.

Our daughter is excited to go each week, and practices without reminding-to me, that's the sign of a great teacher who motivates her students to come prepared and keep growing! If you are thinking about voice or piano for your child, Ms. Erin is a...
