Columbus School of Music and Dance

"As an adult student, I greatly appreciate Miss Jen's enthusiasm, encouragement, and patience. I had to wait a long time to be able to afford the music lessons I dreamed of as a child, and I'm so grateful I found the instructor I did first try. The star deduction isn't regarding the quality of the lessons, but the scheduling for the school overall. There are week long and multi-week-long breaks from lessons 3 times a year at least, on top of other holiday closures, and this can be very jarring to learning and practice. There was less than a month and a half between the return from Spring Break and the start of Summer Break this year to boot. And admittedly, some of the actual furniture and school equipment could use some extra love or timely replacement. All that said, I've experienced and heard nothing but good things about the music instructors, and I've met students of all ages and abilities. The front desk employees are always kind and patient, too. It's a wonderful staff for lessons!"

"Very poor experience in the 2 years that my daughter danced here. They constantly change teachers and class times without informing parents of the schedule changes. The billing errors are a constant every month problem. They over charged and then they refuse to reimburse the money or even credit it towards classes the next month. When I asked to speak with a manager or the owner about the billing errors, I am constantly told by a the young male at the front desk that he will leave them a message and call me back to set up a call. He never does any of that. And honestly the dance classes are not worth the money. There are better dance studios in Columbus that are way more organized."

"We absolutely love Columbus School of Music. Ms. Amy and staff are amazing."

"This is an amazing music and dance school in Columbus, GA! They have done an exceptional job transitioning to both in-person and Zoom lessons during 2020. My daughter has enjoyed her guitar lessons this fall with Mr. Steve, and the staff has been so welcoming. Highly recommend to anyone looking for music lessons and dance classes in the Columbus area!"

"My daughter was a new student last year and really enjoyed it but this year they went through do many changes and not for the better. Instructors left and office staff was changed 3 times since August. New instructors and new students didn't follow the code of ethics and they had bullying during class without consequences. It has been a nightmare and wouldn't recommend it to any new dancers."
