I put both of my kids in piano lessons here and they’ve had a very positive experience. Friendly, knowledgeable teachers, a great little facility, and even recitals and music events to attend. Vesper is a wonderful option for music lessons and I definitely recommend it!

I cannot speak highly enough about Stephanie and Vesper. Stephanie has built such a mentor role and bond with our daughter that is invaluable in the learning process. Thank you so much for providing such a great place to learn and love music!

I have been taking guitar lessons at Vesper for the last couple years. It was intimidating to start an instrument as an adult., but Vesper and my teacher Stephen made the process welcoming and fun. I recommend them!

Vesper is such a great school! My son (9 yrs old now) started piano lessons at the young age of 5. He’s had 3 teachers, over the years and all of them have been top notch. His current teacher, Addison, is wonderful! He’s calm, patient, and encouraging, and his commutation is great! My son has improved significantly, especially in the last year or so. Practice at home, not always a popular activity, has become something he truly enjoys now, and even when we had to push him to practice, he never wanted to stop his lessons. He gets so much from piano, beyond just the music skills. It’s a time to slow down, to build mental agility, and confidence. Vesper also puts on biannual recitals. Participation is never required, but always encouraged. They do a great job of preparing the students for the recital. They even run through a mock recital at the lessons leading up to it. The recitals are a fabulous way for the students to showcase their hard work and dedication, as well as to have the experience of playing in front of an audience, in a venue that feels professional, with fantastic acoustics. I’m continually impressed by the talent showcased by the student performers, and it’s so fun to see them improve each time. Becca (founder) and Paul (general manager) are wonderful to work with, and are really great people with a true passion for sharing their love of music. I’m grateful to have such a gem of a music school in the community.

Vesper has been great to work with on both music lessons that make sense for our kiddo and getting us into our ideal time slot, once it became available. Would recommend to anyone looking to get their kiddo started with music lessons.

I've been taking piano lessons with Lissa since January, and it's been incredible. She is very knowledgeable, a fun teacher, and very understanding and patient. Vesper has also been flexible with my work schedule, and I'm very grateful for that. Can't recommend this place more! 💜
