Real Stories
This is what our clients say about TMLA's tailored music programs.
I really like The Music Loft Academy because it is really warm. Everyone's nice here. It's just a nice community all together. The teacher provides feedback right away and demonstrates what it is that they're trying to show us. Absolutely, I think give it a try. This is a great place.

I love The Music Loft Academy because it is just so fun and it makes you want to learn more about whatever instrument you're playing, even if you're singing. My dream is to become one of those bands that get really famous. Having that come true would be amazing, because that's just my dream. The Music Loft Academy is helping me get there.

I think in today's world, the virtual opportunities are a game changer, because it levels the playing field for busy parents who aren't able to drive out for lessons every week. As a mother who works part time, I don't have a lot of time, so having the opportunity for them to meet with a teacher online. It's a great way to get that lesson in without having to physically be there.

The instructors do a very good job of understanding where each of the students are and what they need to do to take the student from the level where they are up to the next level. We wanted to work with real people that we knew where there could be a relationship between the instructors and the students, and that's exactly what we've gotten here.

We chose The Music Loft Academy because the teachers were great. They incorporate their wants in terms of what they like to play. They also have the Royal Conservatory music program, which my older daughter will soon be involved with so we're excited about that for a deeper understanding and experience with music theory and playing music and ear training.
