MUSICWORKS REVIEWS

My daughter has been taking vocal lessons here for a few months, and the improvement has been incredible. Teacher Ella is patient, encouraging, and really knows how to connect with her students. She’s more confident and excited about music than ever. Highly recommend!

This place is amazing. I take my daughter Wren here for violin class, and the teachers here are great. They really are very patient and knowledgeable. Joshua the owner is also fun to talk to, seems to be very passionate about music and can sing quite well himself.

Thank you to the staff of Musicworks NE for amazing service! They polished and re-stringed my Charvel Pink Guitar! They are very professional and got the job done on time :) excellent service indeed!

SCHOOL OF ROCK CALGARY REVIEWS

We've loved our time with School of Rock. Our 6yo daughter is in the Rookies program and has enjoyed the classes a lot. So much so, that she asked santa for a drum set! She now has a rental set at home she practices on between her Monday classes. It was amazing to see her confidence at their season end show, and she constantly finishes the class with excitement and pride. We've kept her in lessons and she's enrolled in the August summer camp for Rookies. Awesome program and amazing staff.

I am an adult drumming program member. I like the program planning and the course content related to my skills and knowledge level. The method app is great, it has very wide content and is pretty useful. I like the assignment feature, so the instructor can share my assignment's song sheet, and I can listen, change the tempo, also can share my practice back. The band option is also nice, I am waiting till I feel comfortable to play together.

We are very happy with how the drumming lessons are going and my son just started. We love the fact that the teachers have their instruments right beside and can show the students right there how to play.

CHINOOK SCHOOL OF MUSIC REVIEWS

We took a music class called Music Kids in the Park with Miss Kassandra, and my whole family was impressed. My son is very small, only 10 months old when the program started, but he enjoyed playing the instruments along with Miss Kassandra's singing and games. Each class followed a similar plan so that babies knew what to expect, but the actual songs were varied enough that it kept kids entertained. It was a wonderful exposure into music lessons for my little one, and we hope that we will be able to return next summer!

All the grandkids attend music class Very friendly and supportive staff The instructors are absolutely wonderful with them children Miss Cassandra is so wonderfully talented and so great with the little guys class She keep the child well entertained and there follow her Love how all the kids follow her lead She is so kind and patient.

My daughter learned more on the guitar with Ryan in one 30 minute lesson, than she did last year somewhere else. I like being able to take both kids children here to have their lessons at the same time. They teach guitar, piano, voice and more ....
