This music school is the tops! The staff and teachers are professional, and talented. I can see how much they love to teach children and adults. The recitals they host are a great way to see progress in your skills and look forward to songs to come in my own household! They support the kids with a Musical Ladder System and mine can't wait to get to the next level. Keeping the kids so motivated. Thank you for a wonderful business I plan to support for a long time.

I highly recommend Rochester Academy of Music and Arts. Dedicated professional staff make learning music fun. My son loves learning piano and voice. His teacher is so talented and knows most every instrument. As a parent, I appreciate the opportunities my son has to display what he is learning. He sang at the Kennedy Center in Washington DC, Strong museum of play, Red Wings stadium and a local cruise. Students take test and earn beautiful trophies to encourage them.
I also appreciate the fact that there is a camera in the classroom so I can see my son practicing from the waiting area. The waiting area is comfortable, with many books to look at as well as coffee, tea and cocoa. I have only good things to say about Rochester Academy of Music and Arts

The teachers and staff at RAMA make me feel welcome and comfortable as a learner and valued as a member of the community. I love the positive energy here. As a beginner in singing, I am so grateful that taking voice lessons at RAMA has been an opportunity for me to open up and grow as a person. It's a big deal for me.

A great music program. Voice, piano and strings to name a few. Activities and events constantly for the students to share their progress! I wanted to add that my daughter takes voice but wanted to learn ukulele as well so her teacher worked it into her lesson. In the spring she sang and played ukulele at the recital!

The staff is so friendly and accommodating. I believe their lesson rates to be pretty on-par with other local schools. My teachers have been terrific so far. They make learning a new instrument as an adult fun ... and they let me go at my own (turtle speed) pace without trying to rush it. The staff has always been VERY accommodating and upbeat. The only complaint I have is that the space is so cramped (they are located above Sound Source) and the lesson areas are set up as several small adjacent rooms, with numerous students playing simultaneously on busier days/times.
This can be really distracting when it comes to hearing drums or voice lessons right next door while attempting to concentrate. It can be somewhat chaotic, but I think they're trying to expand some. They make the best of the tight quarters and have a small waiting area with stuff to keep kids entertained and for parents to hang out. They also host and support TONS of local and destination events, from camping to picnics to typical recitals to cruises to a chance to play Carnegie Hall.
They donate a lot of proceeds from fundraisers to a local animal rescue, which is fantastic in my opinion. I'm surprised they don't have more positive reviews... I think they're super!!

My son has been taking guitar lessons here for about 4 months. We love it here! RAMA welcomes you with warm friendly faces, and caring teachers who are excellent at what they do. The music instruction is very high quality and individualized for each student. The teachers are professional and make it fun to learn. The office is smoothly run by friendly, professional staff. RAMA gives students many opportunities to perform and give back to the community. They are excellent at hosting many family friendly events to get the whole family involved and having fun! It is a GREAT place to learn!

We love the combination of professionalism, fun, high-quality music education, and contemporary vibe that exists at RAMA. My kids look forward to making music with their teachers and preparing for the upbeat, comfortable and entertaining recitals. I look forward to taking them, and to hearing as they improve and enjoy their music. Piano and voice so far, but if time allows, they'd jump at the chance to take another instrument there!

If I could describe this school with one word, it would be "SUPERB!" My two daughters have been taking music lessons in another State, as well as locally, and Rochester Academy of Music & Arts is by far the best school I have experienced for my girls. I am particularly impressed with dedication of the owners and their attention to details. Thank you for your hard work and efforts. As a parent, I appreciate all you do for my daughters. They absolutely love their music teachers!
