My 13 yo daughter has been taking singing lessons with Maggie for about 6 weeks. She is developing her voice beautifully, but I'm more impressed with the effect Maggie has on her self-confidence. She told me "Maggie can correct me and somehow I feel even better about myself"

If I could give lower, I would. My wife and I took our 6 year old daughter in for voice lessons. Upon entering (and seeing signs about masks), we all walked in maskless. The front desk person offered us masks stating that is their policy. I politely stated that masks aren't our thing and apologized for wasting their time. As we turned around to leave, we were drawn back in by an older gentleman behind the desk stating "that's fine, we have over 400 students." Now let me say that if masks are their policy, fine. However, the nasty, arrogant remark about how, in essence, our business isn't needed because of a school that has 400 students was unnecessary and unprofessional. We were more than prepared to be 401, however they proved that understanding isn't their forte.

Very professional response to my inquiries; thorough explanation of what they could offer me. It was easy and quick to set up a schedule that worked for me. I was really impressed by the physical components of the building: nice size rooms, bright, cheerful atmosphere. It’s a very welcoming place. An overall wonderful experience!

The place is very nice, very pleasant. Staff very pleasant. I take piano lessons, I have a learning disability, but I have a very good teacher. Carly is very patient with me and I have learned so much. This year I will be in my first recital.

Where do I begin? I do not know of a music school more dedicated to their students. The teachers are very understanding and work hard to expand the musical knowledge of their students. They make lessons so much FUN! It's such a safe and welcoming place. The holidays are my favorite because of all the decorations. I consider Scranton Music Academy a second home!

We learn new styles of songs at our own request in addition to regular lessons. We love the teachers. They are open to new ideas and work with the kids to keep them interested.

The voice instruction given by my instructor, Chuck, is unparalleled. He tailors his technique to my individual needs and makes my lessons both challenging and interesting. Jack and the office staff are extremely friendly and courteous. Lessons at SMA or a highlight of my week.

I love it here! Everyone is very friendly and helpful! Currently, I am taking piano and voice lessons and they made it so my voice lesson is right after piano. This is very efficient for me -as I drive to Scranton from Pittston on these days. I am also a full time college student and not only is this helpful in terms of time and travel but my teachers are also helping prepare me for future auditions I'll take part in to transfer colleges! This is truly a great place. I walk out of there after every lesson excited for the next!

My 9 year old daughter takes piano lessons here and I highly recommend Scranton music academy. They have wonderful teachers, friendly owner and staff. My daughter has learned so much and the reward system they have in place keeps her so excited to get to the next level. She cannot wait to go each week.

Excellent music school. They go above and beyond to make sure you’re child is comfortable and learns to their pace. Staff is friendly and very welcoming. Worth the money and investment into your child’s natural talent.

Excellent. Teachers are certified and children learn in a safe supportive environment. Lessons are geared towards the child's abilities to learn. My son has a natural love of all music and his teacher Matt continues to foster his musical talents with ease. It's n amazing partnership and we are thrilled with our son's progress

SMA has been an excellent experience for my children to learn about music. The instructors are excellent and the opportunities to perform at the recitals is an added experience. The office staff and Jack have helped me to make the scheduling and other opportunities such as summer camp easy to coordinate. SMA is a wonderful resource for families with varied musical interests.
