Report

Critical: Professionalism, Quality The assistant RJ whom I know teaches fiddle is rude arrogant and has no pace in such a fine establishment with the likes of the fine gentlemen Mr. Flores whom I cannot say enough wonderful things about as a kind and caring teacher.

They have some of the best instructors - Flicka Rahn has been a wonderful classical vocal instructor for my daughter. This level of instruction is hard to find. I have watched my daughter grow so quickly under her instruction. John is a phenomenal guitar instructor as well. He has not only taught classical guitar, but bass guitar and music theory as well. My daughter loves his instruction!

We have gone to this establishment for around 4 years and R.J. is great. My daughter took lessons with R.J. and felt very comfortable with her. Wish her the best in life and many blessings!

My wife has been going to BAM for several years. The progress she has made in that time has been outstanding. She gets excellent one on one instruction in an atmosphere that encourages success. Everybody at BAM is very professional and supportive. The facilities are great, and the concerts/recitals are very well planned and attended.
