Gifted Music School

"I've taken two of my kids here for a Suzuki Toddler Mommy & Me Music class. They do an excellent job! Very talented and knowledgeable instructors, even for the toddler class! It was very beneficial for the kids."

"We're heading into our second year with two students taking private lessons with a GMS teacher. Our teacher deserves 10 stars and is worth dealing with GMS for, but GMS itself is a bit of a mess. It's incredibly difficult to get any insight into what specifically the significant tuition increases are going toward (after multiple emails there is zero transparency, and the services provided are exactly the same as before the increase), and the administration seems to be top-heavy (i.e. the vibe is that someone's getting paid a lot and it's not the teachers). I've also heard directly from three private music teachers that GMS is not teacher friendly and that there is nearly 100% turnover from year to year in the strings area. We're staying for another year because we really do love our teacher, but for us GMS doesn't provide much value-add over private studios (every good private teacher includes group lessons and recitals, etc., and there are multiple high-quality ensemble opportunities in the valley)."

"My older son has been receiving clarinet lessons with teacher Erin at GMS. He has had multiple music teachers prior to her and we feel like we hit the jackpot with her. She is kind, patient, but also holds high expectations of her students. She is awesome! The school staff is super organized and friendly. They do an awesome job of pairing students with teachers. My younger son will start piano lessons next month with teacher Yelena. We are super excited!"

"We drive down from Park City for the excellent music instruction provided by Gifted Music School. It is more than just lessons - it is truly a learning community. We especially appreciate the increased number of group classes this year. The teaching musicians are fantastic. We were first put off by the pretentious name "Gifted", and disappointed by the facilities (lack of sound insulation between rehearsal rooms) - but the amazing teachers and community achieve amazing results."
