Columbia School Of Music

We signed our son up for piano lessons with Mr. Kurt. Unfortunately, our son wasn't enjoying it and the lessons weren't working out, so we decided to cancel. The cancellation process was extremely painful. Make sure you read ALL the fine print because they will "nickel and dime" you anyway they can. Between Easter Monday, Spring break, the down payment and the cancellation policy, we ended up paying $620 for four 30min piano lessons. Overall, not a great experience.

My daughter loves Mr. Kurt. He is very positive and keeps her engaged.

I could not have asked for a better music teacher for my girl than Mr. Kurt. He is very caring and acknowledgeable when it comes to music.

Starting guitar lessons at Columbia School of Music has been a positive transformational experience in my life. I am in my late 40s and didn't think it was possible to learn music later in life, but Mr. Kurt proved me wrong. I am learning something new in every class and making progress everyday. The sessions are fun and engaging, and I look forward to them every week.

Mr Kurt teaching demonstrates the perfect mixture of patient practice for improvement and new pieces that keep the motivation constant. It has been worth every minute of my time.

Mr. Kurt is an excellent teacher. He is so professional. Our son has been learning and enjoying piano under his guidance for nearly 3 years now. We like how easily he transitioned to online classes. I would surely recommend Columbia school of music to anyone.

Kurt is an exceptional piano teacher. My granddaughter enjoys her lessons with him and has progressed beyond any expectation in only five weeks. I highly recommend Kurt to anyone wanting to learn piano.

During the past 8 months, our daughter has learned how to play, read and understand music at Columbia School of Music. Mr. Kurt has a unique style of teaching that brings out the best in all of his students. He is fair, patient and takes time to make sure that all students produce quality work. Mr. Kurt is truly dedicated to teaching and sharing his craft.

Mr. Kurt's online piano instructions during this pandemic have been exceptional. He has managed to continue lessons with my two elementary aged kids without interruption. I am truly satisfied with his services.

Kurt does a really good job of teaching music. My son has been taking piano lessons over 4 years and I started guitar almost a year ago. It is a lot of fun! And now we are doing virtual lessons with Facetime which works out even better. I highly recommend Columbia School of Music.

I am so glad to have found "Columbia School of Music" in Howard County. My granddaughter loves her piano lessons and her teacher, Mr. Kurt. She is progressing nicely on the piano. I highly recommend the "Columbia School of Music" program.

We are fortunate that our kid is learning Piano from Mr. Kurt. He is an awesome teacher. Mr. Kurt is a teacher who believes in students success and quality. I would highly recommend Columbia School of Music.

We have had our children attend Columbia School of Music for 6 years since the oldest was 6 years old. We cannot thank Ms. Mary enough for the kind and effective piano instruction she has provided as well as her flexibility with accommodating our changing schedules. Would absolutely recommend this school for piano without reservation.

Worst experience with this music school, both on the knowledge side and service side. The owner only cares about the tuition and nothing else. We never saw his performance, even at recital. From our only five month experience, our kid can learn all the songs within couple weeks. After telling him that we decided to leave the school, we were told that we need to pay one more month tuition, and our kid didn't learn one new song.

We then figured out he purposely cancelled our last lesson, which means we paid the whole last month tuition only with three weeks of class. I decided to write this review because I want to share our experience with everyone else. To be honest, I don't how he got voted as the best teacher in Howard County. There are many great piano teachers in our county.

He is truly a teacher for kids. He can relate and find ways to make it fun for them. His method of combining music (CD) with the lesson has enabled my daughter to advance further than I expected. She has been his student for 3 1/2 years and has enjoyed working hard to show her accomplishment to him. At first, I was skeptical about the CD since I didn't learn it that way but the CD teaching provides enrichment to the learning for the kids. It is fun.

You were by far my best teacher and I only wish that you could have moved to Grand Cayman. Think about it. Lying on the beach every day and teaching me for an hour each week. I am positive that your school is doing well; your students are blessed to have you.

Thank you for expanding our daughter's music education beyond just playing notes. She is growing in many ways right now. Children are like flowers. Our daughter's flower must just be opening very slowly. We appreciate your gardening skills!
