I don't normally write reviews but I have been overly impressed with this organization. They have been extremely professional, the instructor we have has been terrific with the kids and surprisingly the kids really learn how to play like pros. This afternoon I watched a phenomenal recital. A true testimony that within about three months the kids are in performance mode and did terrific. I'm very impressed with what I saw.

My son and I have both taken instrumental lessons here for years, and have always been more than pleased at the level of experience, patience, and demeanor of our instructors. They are practically extended family in my eyes. The staff members are very kind and have never been anything but pleasant to work, with. I have personally been on hiatus, but would definitely sign back up here again once I have time to work with music again.

Lone star music academy is by the best facility with the best instructors in the DFW area. I will say the best in the country. The instructors are by far the most educated and really create a bespoke program for each student. I have been playing for over 30 years. I played first jazz band during my undergraduate. After moving to Texas I was unable to find a place for advanced study. Then I found Lone Star Music Academy. I can not say enough about Lone Star. If you're a beginner, intermediate, or and advanced player Lone Star has you covered!
