A great center that teaches kids all sorts of instruments, vocals, comics and acting. They also have music movement classes for the little ones starting at 6 months old. — similar I guess to Music Together. You can take a trial class but you have to pay for that session.
Admin service is friendly and down to earth. There’s a nice waiting area (a living room feel) where kids or adults can watch from a very large screen tv. Most of the time the TV is off and the parents are checking their phones or reading. There’s also a library where you can sit and wait — a quiet area unlike the front waiting area.
My daughter comes here for private piano lessons and for chorus and the instructors are keen to the children. I see tons of kids coming in to learn to play guitar and violin.
There’s a parking lot and it’s usually packed but I somehow always get a spot so I guess there’s ample parking (with help from parents just dropping off their kids and not really staying so that opens up parking spots).
