“I am so happy to have enrolled my 4 year old in piano lessons at Shock City. When he goes off track and starts hopping around like a frog or some other 4-year-old behavior, it is anticipated and accepted as part of the process. The redirection is gentle, and the learnings adapted for where the child is that day. I am grateful for the caring, patient, and talented professionals at Shock City to help my musical child explore his curiosity in such a knowledgeable and joyful way.”
- Amy, parent of student
“Very welcoming and easy to work with. Taking lessons for the first time as an adult can be daunting, but the folks at SC made me feel very at ease and welcomed.”
-Garett, adult student
“My daughter has been taking piano lessons at Shock City for about eight months now. Thanks to the positivity, patience, and expertise of her teacher, she's making fantastic progress--and she's having a lot of fun! Both of us look forward to her weekly lessons and especially to the studio's recitals. We'd recommend Shock City to anyone looking for private lessons or group instruction.”
- Ben, parent of student
