My three sons have been taking piano lessons at EMS for the past six years, and it has been an incredible experience for our family. While EMS is an outstanding music school, the recitals and festivals have been especially valuable in helping them build confidence and develop their performance skills. Ms. Elizabeth is exceptionally kind and truly passionate about music education. Her enthusiasm, dedication, and joy for teaching piano are evident in every lesson, and her commitment to her students is unmatched. We are so grateful for the positive impact she has had on our children’s musical growth and confidence.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My kids have been students in the Let's Play Music program for two years. This program provides and excellent base for a child's musical development. I feel my kids understanding of music theory gained from Let's Play Music will allow them to pursue any instrument they desire in the future. The teacher's and staff are responsive and kind.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My daughter is finishing year 2 and so excited to do more. Ms. Karah is phenomenal. She inspires the kids to be curious and to put in the work. As a lifelong musician myself, I wish I had something like this when I was younger. The approach to learning theory, developing the ear, and understanding music in general is extremely accessible and intuitive.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We have two kids taking lessons at EMS. Our youngest has taken piano lessons for two year and has learned a ton from her teacher (currently Ms. Jean).  Our son just started drum lessons from Mr. Charles a few months ago. He is also learning a lot and having fun.
