Mr. Nate is an awesome instructor! Highly recommend the 402 and Mr. Nate for anyone wanting to learn piano... our 5 year old had a blast and built such a great foundation for future learning.
I took the actors sandbox with Nicole and had the best experience. I learned so much in such little time. I recently had an audition and nailed the callback and got into the show! Thanks Nicole :)
Just finished the Actor’s Sandbox with Nicole Callahan & WOW! Amazing experience! I learned more in the first class than I learned in years of training in Houston. She pushes you & forces you to think. If you are serious about learning & furthering your acting career, I highly recommend!
I took Cello lessons here over the summer and it was a great experience! They have very friendly staff members and a really cool artsy coffee shop. Feels great to be supporting a non-profit with a great mission as well.
402 offers lessons in a wide variety of the arts: visual, vocal, instrumental, and audio engineering, to name a few. After several months of lessons, I can say that their instructors are very knowledgeable and accommodating, even (or especially!) for an adult student like me. As a plus, the collective is a 501(c)(3) non-profit that sponsors numerous community outreach programs. If you're looking for high-quality lessons at a reasonable price, definitely check these guys out!
