"We love the Academy of Music and Art!
My 10-year-old son has been taking guitar lessons with Chris for several months now and has absolutely loved the experience. Chris is a patient, attentive instructor. 
My 6-year-old daughter takes beginning ballet classes with Ms. Keeley, and she loves her Monday classes! Keeley is energetic, friendly and fun. 
I cannot say enough positive things about the Academy of Music and Art!"
