We love TAM especially teacher Evin Chaves! My son used to be in a different music school before and I transferred him to TAM because I feel like he does not have any progress in the old school. When I first met Evin, I told him that I wanted my son to learn piano, to play it and know how to read musical notes. I told him I don't want it to be a supervised practice again like we used to have. And he did, he tells me every week the progress of my son, he slowly teaches him to read notes. At home I can see the big change in my son playing piano. Definitely recommended!!! 🙂☺️

What a performance!!! Just went to our first event at TAM and WOW!!!! The level of talent on stage is inspiring. The acoustics really showcase the music. The intimate venue paired with the music and artists is an experience beyond words. Looking forward to future events ❤️

Good Place to Get a Starbucks Quality Latte and Try Out Their Keyboards (Especially Compared to the Million Dollar Coffee Franchise Up the Street, and with Mountain Music Closing Down During Covid, This is a Good Place to Try Out Their Synths or Just Watch Kids/Teens or Other People do Karaoke While Having a Latte or a Beer and Nachos

My daughter has been taking piano lessons here for the last three years (since she was 3). Mary and Dave Dave Dave are absolute pros with many years of music and teaching experience and the teachers we have worked with have all been so patient and encouraging. Not to mention, they make my daughter feel like a celebrity whenever she walks in. I love that the environment is fun and relaxed - it really allows students to develop at their own pace and comfort level. My daughter was so nervous to go on stage to play piano, but once she had a little taste - she quickly began to love performing on stage. The TAM family has really played an important role in fostering my daughter’s love for music. It’s one of her favourite places to go - for the music, the people, the rock camps, and the cookies! Go support this awesome family-run business by taking lessons, seeing a show, or just having a coffee!

I cannot recommend Tabone enough! It's such a unique place. I have 3 children currently taking lessons, and over the past few years they've had the opportunity to try multiple instruments which is so amazing. The teachers have all been phenomenal, and the owners, Dave and Mary, are absolute gems. The atmosphere is one of my favourite parts. I always feel relaxed when waiting for my kids to finish their lessons, and the kids love grabbing a treat from the café. I love the stage and watching people of all ages (including my children!) perform and show off their talents. Thank you Tabone!
