Ms. Twila is an excellent piano teacher! While she works with my son at his pace, she also challenges him. My son enjoys going to piano class and participating in the recitals!

All of our kids have taken lessons at AHMA. It has been such a great experience for them! Our oldest kids (now young adults) continue to play guitar and drums and our youngest is still taking piano lessons and LOVES it! Twila and all of the instructors are professional, patient, and amazing educators!
