My son has been taking piano lessons for almost a year. He loves his teacher's method of teaching and I can tell that they really care about my kid. Ottley Music School is wonderful and I highly recommend it.
The school has everything that children need for successful study: textbooks, daily assignments, planner, notebooks, music sheets, a staff who are very nice and kind, and ready to help at any time.
I am most grateful that my son's guitar teacher not only makes learning fun and shares his knowledge, but his passion for music as well. I could not have found a better place for him to learn guitar.
