"Mrs Mary creates a positive learning environment for the kids. She is effusive with her praise of the children, and shows a lot of patience with everyone as they learn at their own pace. I definitely recommend this class for kids who want to learn to read and play music."

"I have had both my kids in Miss Mary’s classes for years and been very happy with the curriculum and how she incorporates games and fun while learning piano and music theory. Highly recommended!"

"Mary has no issue rejecting and hurting the feelings of five year old children who don’t follow every single direction perfectly after 20 minutes. I think my child did great in the intro class, although sometimes needs support to participate, he was happy and did what was asked, but she singled us out and rejected us in front of ten other children and parents. So if you have a child that needs a little more encouragement, this is not the place for you and spare yourself the humiliation and the sadness your child will feel when she says he is not good enough for a silly baby music class in front of the entire class. Thanks!"

"Love this school! Mary is enthusiastic, gifted and an excellent teacher for children of all ages!"

"Our daughter looks forward to her weekly class at JMA every week. She's in the toddler class, where they spend time with rhythmic activities, moving to different beats and basic familiarity with the keyboard. She has gained a better understanding of music and had a lot of fun jumping around in the process. The lessons are always enjoyable for her and her daddy."
