DEA Music & Art School

It's been great since Mr. Elis took over my son's piano lessons! He is knowledgeable and friendly. He is easy to get in touch with. Scheduling is better. Overall, we are pleased!

Very knowledgeable, helpful and skillful instructors for piano and guitar. Administrative staff is also pleasant and flexible in schedule. Update: We have Elis as our new piano instructor. He has been teaching since few months now and I can see further improvement in my child's piano skills. Also, I was initially skeptical about online teaching, but now after few weeks of watching him teaching online, I don't see any major differences in the teaching style. Very glad to have my child learn piano at DEA.

I have taken piano lessons at DEA since I was very young. I have learned a lot of important fundamentals in Classical Music with Magi which have helped me as I explored other genres of music in high school. I wanted to continue to expand my repertoire before leaving for college and joining a band in the future. In the past few months I have been immersed in the Jazz and Classic Rock genres with my current teacher Elis.

I feel that, even with the change to virtual lessons due to the pandemic, I am learning a plethora of musical skills that will have lasting impacts as well having a lot of fun! Whenever a change in scheduling is needed, he is very easy to reach. The communication and quality of every teacher at DEA is exceptional.

My 8 year-old son is learning piano with Elis for over a year now. I appreciate the teacher's approach very much. Elis makes sure my son knows both playing piano and the music theory. He makes the classes engaging and fun, picking the songs my son truly enjoys, while making sure he continues to learn. I'm grateful for the flexibility and ability to continue my son's development remotely when so many places are closed. Highly recommend DEA school and the teacher.

Highly recommended. I've been taking my kids there for over 4 years. Magi is awesome, she is very dedicated and always tries hard to accomodate any schedule conflicts. Updated review: my kids started working with Ellis about a year ago and words cannot express how much I appreciate him and how much the kids feel relaxed and happy with him. We have moved on to learn pop music piano, the kids are loving it and he's been very accommodating. Thanks Ellis!

Both my son and daughter love this school. My son has been taking guitar lessons for couple of years and my daughter takes piano lessons. The teachers are so wonderful, attentive, and accommodating. They expect the students to apply themselves and practice at home yet they make lessons fun and enjoyable. This place is both very educational and entertaining.

We really enjoyed this past Halloween party they threw for the kids as we enjoy every single lesson and every single end -of -year recital. Thank you dea music and art! We love you.

My daughter has been taking classes from Ellis Elishi for over 2 years. We are very happy with this great teacher who is always punctual, clear in expectations, patient but at the same time encouraging growth. Since she started learning with Ellis, I font need to remind her to practice. She does it with so much joy. Before we started DEA, she did not show such a vivid interest and was not motivated to practice.

I give a credit to the teacher for that. Her technique is improving day by day. And the fact that we are taking classes remotely did not affect the quality of instructions. In addition to regular instructions, students are offered (at no additional cost) 3 more classes a week of group practice, music theory and game time. Which makes this as an unbeatable deal.

All via zoom. We were able to continue learning even through the COVID months which shows that DEA staff has been very flexible to ensure that learning continues. Highly recommend DEA for music and art classes and Mr. Ellis Eloshi for piano instructions. We also took violin, art, vocal classes at DEA and were very pleased.

We are very happy with our instructor, Ellis, because he is extremely talented and he is very patient with the learning process. His passion for music and piano is inspiring mommy to take lessons, as well. We really feel like we hit the jackpot with our instructor. Our son absolutely loves to perform what Ellis has taught him at the recitals. I Highly recommend Ellis.

I made the best decision to sign my kids up to DEA Music School. My kids have been practicing piano with Matteo for 3 years, who is a great musician and composer. He is result-oriented and caring as a teacher. Matteo knows how to inspire kids to be interested in music and practicing piano. He is engaging, talented, and would instill a lifelong love for playing music.

My daughter has been coming to DEA, Rosebank location for the last 8 years. She was not yet 4 when she started with piano and art and immediately took to them. Over the years, she has taken voice lessons as well as theater and still continues to take piano and theory lessons. This is a great place for kids to start off, find what they love and continue. The staff is proficient and friendly and provide a safe environment. Annual recitals are a great exposure for the students as well. Highly recommend this school.
