My son is taking piano lessons from Angele and she is so warm, caring and truly wants to teach young kids the value of learning of how to play the piano. Not only does she teaches piano, she also introduces the kids to different composers, what their styles are and how to truly listen to the forgotten art of classical music. She is also teaching my son a few of his favorite pieces from John Williams. I highly recommend this program!

Dexter Music Academy works hard at finding the right instructor for you and your child's needs. We wanted my son to continue to want to play piano after taking a break from 3 years of playing. We had some scheduling challenges based on our location and small window of time we could schedule a lesson. DMA found an instructor who challenges my son both in theory and in what he plays. My son looks forward to his lessons and has developed the confidence to play alongside other young musicians.
