Place Des Arts

My daughter has been taking music lessons here for 4 years and it's been consistently of high quality. It's been great to see the improvement over the years.

The instructors and the staff are all very professional and experienced. Our daughter's teacher is a good fit.

The class structure is very rigid. Do not expect any credits if you need to skip a week. On the flip side, the instructors are allowed to cancel with short notice for their own personal reasons. Our daughter's teacher has musical commitments a few times each year and this she misses out on lessons 4 or 5 times a year.

The actual spaces can be hit and miss. Our daughter is in a small room in the basement, with very poor acoustic control, immediately adjacent the early learning room where very young kids clang and bang loudly on instruments including pianos and other loud instruments. Not very condusive to a quality private lesson environment for our child.

In general we are happy.

Place des Arts is wonderful! They have courses for children as well as adults in everything from music, dancing, drama, visual arts and more. I have taken three courses here (two spinning classes and a weaving class, as well as a short felting workshop) and have loved them all. The instructors are so knowledgeable and experienced that even in a beginner class you come out of it feeling like you can take on any project. If you are interested in the arts, this place will surely have something for you. And one of the best things about them, other than how incredibly affordable the classes are, is that they offer most of their programs in the evenings as well as during the day so those who work or go to school can still go.

My kids take music lessons at Place des Art. My son plays the sax and my daughter started playing flute this year. They both really enjoy their lessons and come home WANTING to practice. How often do you hear that?!
