Both my sons have been taking classes at Darell Leffler's Music Academy. My older one (15yrs) took guitar classes with Mr.Aaron. My younger son (13 yrs) has been taking Piano lessons for 2 years with Mr.Sky. Mr.Sky is a very passionate teacher. Both my boys have had lots of fun while also learning alot and developing interest in music. I will highly recommend this place for kids of all ages to help with their music journey.

Very unprofessional place, I would highly recommend trying a better school for your kid. They have hired school students as teachers who have no idea what to do with kids. Teacher used to be on phone during 30 mins class and she will give bunch of papers to color. Also, half the time they sent wrong invoices and applied false charges. If you don’t check, you probably would pay random.

I want to share my heartfelt recommendation for Darrell Leffler, who has been an incredible piano teacher to my daughter on her piano journey. From the moment my daughter re-engaged in piano lessons with Darrell, I knew we had found someone truly special. Darrell holds a rare combination of passion, talent, and dedication that shines through in every lesson, making each class extremely fun and motivating as my daughter tells me. Darrell has a remarkable ability to connect with students on a personal level, creating a warm and nurturing environment where my daughter feels comfortable exploring and expressing herself through music. He takes the time to understand my daughter's unique learning style and interests, tailoring lessons to suit her individual needs and goals. One of the things that sets Darrell apart is his passion and enthusiasm for music. He not only teaches the technical aspects of piano playing but also instills a deep appreciation for the art form. Through his guidance, my daughter has developed a love for music that extends beyond the piano keyboard. Darrell's teaching methods are innovative and engaging, keeping my daughter motivated and excited to practice daily. He not only teaches the fundamentals of piano playing but also provides valuable insights into music theory, interpretation, and expression. He would provide me with feedback with patience and encouragement, fostering a growth mindset and instilling confidence in my daughter's abilities. Beyond his role as a teacher, Darrell serves a positive role model and mentor to my daughter by demonstrating professionalism, integrity and a genuine passion for helping students succeed. I am deeply grateful to Darrell for the impact he has had on my daughter's musical journey. Under his guidance, she has grown not only as a pianist but also as a confident, creative, and resilient individual. I wholeheartedly recommend Darrell to anyone seeking a dedicated and inspiring piano instructor for their child. He is a true gem in the world of music education, and we feel incredibly fortunate to have him as part of our daughter's musical journey. Thank you, Darrell for your unwavering support and inspiration!

My nine-year old daughter has been taking piano lessons with Darrell Lefler Academy of Music for over 2 years now. Ms. Gina has been her instructor, and she is absolutely the best! She has so much patience for her students, she uses her creativity to engage interest from her students, and she sets a positive learning atmosphere. The curriculum incorporates a theory portion which is key to understanding the fundamentals of music. My daughter always looks forward to her weekly lessons! I would highly recommend Darrell Leffler Academy of Music!

My son has been learning Piano for a few months now from Ms.Gina. She is absolutely awesome. She is super trained to handle little ones who have shorter attention span. The structure of the class is great as they have some theory time, playing time and some games that are music related too. Kids always look forward to the game time. The class size is 4-5 which is perfect to get some 1:1 time every week. Mr.Darrell who runs the class once in a while is funny and kids enjoy his company. We have been enjoying the virtual classes and can't wait for the in-person lessons to resume.
