We enrolled our kid in piano lessons with music teacher, Jay Smith. Signing up was really easy, communication with the teacher, and the schedule have been great! Our kid went into the program, with very little to no knowledge about piano. He has been going once a week for about six months now, and wow am I so impressed with the progress and interest! Highly recommend!

My 10 year old daughter takes violin lessons here, and my 7 year old takes piano. Both of my kids love it and have learned so much! This is a solid group of professional musicians with amazing reputations in the community, so I know my kids are in the best hands. Highly recommend!

Mr Jay is the best piano teacher in town! He teaches the basic skills, he keeps his students interested in learning and makes every lesson fun! He is a very talented piano player and teacher! You can tell he loves to teach and it shows in all his interactions with his students! If you are considering music lessons, this is the place to go! You will not regret it!

It’s a 180 degree positive turnaround for us since my son’s piano class location changed from Nick Rails which was very far from our home (City in the Hills). We were very happy for Jay to open his new business at a much better facility than his previous location. We are very happy with the piano instructions our son is receiving from Jay. The instruction is excellent and it definitely shows in our son’s results gone from a beginner to a now more accomplished perhaps intermediate to advanced student. Thank you Jay very much!!

My son has been taking piano lessons from Jay Smith for many years. The lessons are reasonably priced but the experience my son has acquired with his encouragement is priceless. Jay is very knowledgeable, enthusiastic, supportive and patient. He studied music in college, so he talks music theory with my son all the time. He is passionate about music and a fantastic musician. The best thing about Jay is his personality. He is one of the most positive, uplifting people I have had the good fortune of meeting. With his support my son has become more confident in his own musical journey, which he hopes to major in. Jay you’re AWESOME!
