Best Piano Instructor Cary Near Me

Rob F: I recently finished a semester of taking voice lessons at this school. I had a great experience with one of their teachers, and I'd like to address an earlier review from Lily:"...but when my work schedule became more intense and I couldn't make my lessons, Cary School of Music charged me anyway. They will not refund the money and will continue taking drafts out of my account until the end of the semester. That means over $500 in charges for no lessons at all. This school is not understanding that things come up in life..."I completely disagree with this review! Note that the school's policy of requiring students to commit to their set time schedule of lessons *in advance* was communicated clearly up front. You do not have to sign their agreement and provide bank details if you don't like that policy and can't see yourself committing to it steadfastly. This is a fair policy that respects the teacher's time commitment. Teachers are not automatons, like vending machines dispensing a product. They are human beings with a skillset that is in demand by many in the community. They commit to the same exact schedule that the student commits to - in advance. If the student can't make their slot(s), the teacher would not be paid if the student expected a refund for their missed lesson. That is simply not fair and, furthermore, the teacher *could* have had a different, more reliable student agree to that same time slot up front, which would have guaranteed that teacher the set income that they have an expectation to rely upon, as any skilled professional would for their valuable time. Furthermore, the school itself has upkeep/admin costs and have a right to expect that the slots of time for the use of their building and resources are paid for by all students, whether they can attend at the times they agreed to or not. When a student can't attend, that revenue would be lost unexpectedly if there were an expectation of a refund - and again, that revenue *could* have been guaranteed had a more reliable student committed to those same slots of time.I highly recommend this music school and I completely endorse their payment policy, mainly for the sake of the teachers who are their most valuable resource.

Michael Hudson: Wonderful experience.

Barbara Smith: Looking to add students to my growing studio of talented folks! We have so much fun learning to play and understand the cello! 😀

Jack Sayam: Positive:Communication,QualityDr. Fiess and Mr. Wegener have been incredible teachers who have helped immensely in my piano development. They are both knowledgeable and provide impeccable observation to help push my abilities further. I wholeheartedly recommend them for piano instruction.

Alex De Lara: I had piano lessons at the same time my daughter were also taking lessons, long ago. All I have to say is, Catrina is such an amazing teacher, excellent with kids and also adults if you are interested in piano lessons.

Tommy Briley: My daughter loves going to Kinder Village Music and Ms. Wendy is awsome at getting the kids engaged. She knows her students and the music selection takes advantage of learning with ears, eyes, and tangibly. I truthfully didn't think much of it until I noticed our lil girl was doing the things she was learning in her Saturday class the same way while at home. We ended up purchasing unit 1 and 2 music instruments which she gravitates to quite regularly. I should have thought of this idea for a buisness.

Joan Smemoe: My boys(9, 12) have been studying piano under Kellis in the Dryers Music Studio for the past 4 years. We had studied with 3 other teachers in the Cary area and we could not be happier finding Kellis. I totally see my kids studying under her until moving away to college!Kellis is a classically trained pianist. Her piano curriculum includes not only the piano playing techniques but also the musical theory and history about the pieces and the composers. She has a perfect balance of being nice and stern. She is extremely patient, however, she also sets clear expectations on practice. She encourages and prepares her students to compete in various piano competitions and festivals as ways to push and challenge them. She also participates in the National Guild program where students work towards a set of goals every year to continue to improve themselves.Annually she holds two formal recitals, as well as informal duet parties and other charitable performances. Whether you are a beginner looking for causal learning as a hobby, or a serious player looking to advance your skills, I would highly recommend Kellis from the Dryer Music Studio.
