Eastern School of Music & Arts 254-18 Northern Boulevard, Queens, NY 11362

"My daughter has taken ballet here for a year and my son started viola lessons a few months ago. Nothing but high praise for their instructors and for the dance recital experience. A lot has changed with the new owners. The owners are professional and care a lot about our kids. Wanted to post after seeing some of the negative reviews."

"Not a good school. Severely antiquated. My child became disinterested in ballet class, same routine week to week. Similar situation with art class, lack of creativity in the crafting ideas. Onsite management not friendly. There's a big fishtank stinking up the place on most days because they probably don't care to maintain it, just like how they don't maintain good programs."

"Warning parents: stay away from this school! They are a rip off and take advantage of anyone they can. I took my 2 children there to CHECK OUT the place. We walked around and I wanted to see the place before I register and commit to the school. There was absolutely no lesson and nothing was taught to my kids. I was forced to pay $95. When asked for an explanation, they couldn’t give me one. When asked to speak to someone, they referred me to their other school. When asked for a receipt, they couldn’t provide one. When I called the other school, I still wasn’t provided an explanation and they hung up the phone. This school is a scam. Extremely unprofessional and needs to learn how to speak to human beings. If this is the way they treat potential paying parents, I can only imagine the way they would treat our children, unattended and alone!! Do your children a favor and take your business elsewhere, ie, a real, well run school."

"My kids have taken piano&string lessons. They have been progress in music. And teachers and staff are professional and nice. I have recommended this school to friends."

"Learned to play the drums here ever since middle school. All the teachers are skilled at what they do and are all nice. Lots of practice rooms where students can learn all types of instruments!"
