My instructor is an awesome teacher! Learning to play the guitar can be frustrating, but he was very patient with me and made sure I understood what we were learning before moving on to another lesson. I started as a beginner and after only 3 lessons, I was able to play chords and notes that I had no idea I was capable of learning! I highly recommend taking lessons from the Atlanta School of Musical Arts, you won't be disappointed!

My daughter has been taking piano lessons with the Atlanta School of Musical Arts since September 2011. She started as an absolute beginner and shortly after was already able to play her favorite songs by Alicia Keys and Coldplay. We have found her instructor to be very friendly, knowledgeable and talented and my daughter LOVES her piano lessons! If you are looking for quality music lessons we highly recommend the Atlanta School of Musical Arts.

My daughter has been taking Voice Lessons with Atlanta School of Musical Arts for about a year and a half now. Their customer service is exemplary! Whenever I have a question, I am always provided with a prompt response. The care that is shown to ensure that information is clearly communicated goes such a long way! My daughter's instructor is Ann Montano. Ann is truly AMAZING and my daughter's voice is getting stronger each lesson. Ann is very patient, caring, and an overall joy to work with! I would recommend her and the school as a whole to the entire world and beyond!

My kids have been going here for about 4 months for their piano lessons, I can only say it has been a great experience. The kids love it, the instructor ( Oliver ) is very professional and has a lot of patience with my kids. They love how he explain things. My kids are already playing piano by themselves.

Our 12 year old boy has had piano classes here for over 2 years. We pay just a little more for in-house lesson which is so much worth is considering the time spend preparing and driving to the school. We've had 2 teachers throughout, and both were excellent although different at the same time. This worked out great for our student. We also have started our 8 year old in piano as well. We highly recommend Atlanta School of Musical Arts!

I took guitar lessons from Mostai for about 7 months to prepare for college jazz auditions. He was well-versed in all genres and was able to instruct me in whatever direction I wanted. I came to him having learned much of music theory online through Youtube videos. He was able to direct what I had already learned and show me how to apply it in the right way. In addition, he showed me new theory but always demonstrated it in the context of a song. During those 7 months, my chord vocabulary, knowledge of scales and complex harmony, and technique all drastically improved. I wouldn't have gotten into the music colleges I did without his help.

Our 5-year-old boy has been taking piano lessons for a couple months now from ASMA and so far we've had a great experience. First, our instructor, Bridget, comes to our house for lessons, which is amazing in itself. Second, she really meets our son at his level and makes each and every lesson fun for him, so that he looks forward to the next one. As a guitar player, it seems the great majority of people I've known who have attempted to take piano lessons as children (or even adults) end up quitting, usually because the traditional approach to piano is so dry, boring, and intimidating.
The first order of business in any music instruction is to make it fun - play to the joy of making music, which is in most people, really. Our instructor does this - she makes piano fun and accessible for our son. I think the number one metric of success at this level is if your child is having fun and wants to continue.

My son has really enjoyed his piano lesson with Cameron Carey. My son started this school with no knowledge about the piano and now has progressed so much in a year. Cameron has given him insight on the ins and outs of the piano and is very detailed when teaching. This class has helped my son with being more independent having to come home and learn his lessons on his own. I would recommend anyone to Atlanta School of Musical Arts.

Great program and dedicated team! My son started piano here at age 6, and loves it. Want to give a special note of thanks to our teacher Ms. Ann- she is very kind, encouraging, calm, and patient. And very talented! She makes learning fun for him- She has been a wonderful teacher and we love working with her! Thank you Mr. Mostai for all your efforts. The recitals are awesome as well. a wonderful way to meet other students and help the children gain more confidence in their talents. Thank you, Atlanta School of Musical Arts!

Our daughter (6 yrs.) is learning the piano and enjoys every session. Now I have started playing the guitar as I like the setting at home and professional and personal way of learning. It is so much more fun and inspiring to learn playing an instrument by choosing the songs you like. It is amazing how much we have accomplished in only a few sessions. I can highly recommend Mostai and the Atlanta School of Musical Arts.

I have been using the services of Atlanta School of Musical Arts for over a year now and have been extremely satisfied. My son really likes his piano teacher Oswald, and he has shown great improvement since under his tutelage. I personally have been very happy with the level of instruction given and the ease of working with this company. I have not had any issues with scheduling, payments and overall communication with Mostai or Oswald. They have both been great to work with and very accommodating. I would recommend the Atlanta School of Musical Arts to anyone thinking of taking music lessons.

We have 2 boys who have been taking guitar and drum lessons for the past 8 months and have been having a great time and learning a lot. They started at age 7 with no prior musical experience and each has a 45 minute lesson taught by the same instructor (so one instructor comes to our house and does the lessons back to back) and this has worked really well. We are really happy with everything and most importantly, our kids are learning music and having fun. I highly recommend this for anyone whose kids are interested in learning an instrument. The instructor is dependable and has established a great relationship with both boys and has been great.
