My daughter Hannah has been learning flute in Alliance for nearly 5 years now since 5th grade, the instructors here are great. Paige is the greatest and makes learning playing flute so much fun. Hannah loves to come to Alliance Academy and has made great progress. in her 6th grade, she became the youngest in her middle school's highest band. and made all region every year she is legible and was the first chair in her middle school's top band.

This summer Paige told my daughter that she can tryout the Greater North Texas Youth Band, my daughter tried and made it first chair. My daughter went to high school this year, and made to the 2nd highest band in the all region all age bands. Thank you Paige and Alliance Academy for teaching my daughter, You guys are simply the best and I really mean it.

George teaches my son guitar and has been doing it for the last 2 years now. We are extremely happy. I can say with all honesty that he plays the guitar and practices because of Georges classes. He enjoys playing because of him. Paige as just started teaching my daughter and within the first couple of weeks of lessons, my daughter has already fallen in love. Great place to begin your journey into learning music.

Our ten year old just started learning piano at Alliance Music Academy. His teacher, Ms. Carleigh is so patient and is great about correcting his form so that he learns food habits from the start. Everyone I've spoke to has been wonderful and accommodating.

My son recently started to take guitar lessons at the Alliance Music Academy. We love that place. The teachers are great, Page is very responsive to e-mails and always helps us if we have schedule changes. I highly recommend the AMA! My son David learned a lot for the short time we've been there.
