"I just want you all to know what a wonderful event you produced last night! The enthusiasm, energy, and passion for music was incredible from all of you! You made it special for not only the performers but the audience. I enjoyed each and every performance. Thank you for all you do for these kids to make music an enjoyable part of their lives!!!!! You were all just remarkable! None of us can wait until the next concert. You turned us into Aurora School of Music Rock Concert groupies!" - March 2011 - L. Bush., Chagrin Falls, OH
"I just wanted to let you know how much my family enjoyed the recital last weekend! The atmosphere was relaxed and fun! I was worried it was going to be "stuffy" and serious. I was so pleasantly surprised! My children who performed enjoyed it as well. We are all looking forward to the next recital!" - C. Dorrance, Macedonia, OH
"My kid has been taking music (piano) lessons here since 2005 and we love this place. They have regular recitals, fantastic (and might I add extremely friendly) instructors, a really nice and helpful office staff. They send you lesson reminder emails the day before your lesson...excellent...state of the art program. They only teach music and do it extremely well...it is locally owned and operated so if you ever have any problems, the owners take care of it right away...they also have kids playing with one another, and you can take theory classes if you want...what more could one ask for? Check it out!!!" - John M., Aurora, OH
"I just wanted to drop you a note to say how much I enjoyed hearing your young student play Toccata and Fugue in D Minor on piano at the blood drive, and our brief conversation about him afterward. I had come with my wife who was giving blood, and planned to look at the classic cars while I waited, but wound up just listening to him instead. I also enjoyed hearing you play while we ate lunch, and on our way home we heard your other student on the radio, a young woman playing I believe the Moonlight Sonata - she too did a wonderful job." - Alan and Judith Higbee
"I think I have had contact in one way or another with at least half a dozen music schools during my adult life, and the Aurora School of Music is above and beyond any I've encountered. The courtesy and professionalism of the administrative and teaching staff are first rate." - Valerie L., Hudson, OH
"Thank you for bringing more resources for private music instruction into our town. Also, I admire your courage to break out of the box and provide an actual arena for the art of "rock and roll". Unless there are respected, intelligent musicians that are willing to be flexible enough to provide a strong foundation for new music styles that our children want to listen to and pursue, then the kids will lose interest and not understand the connection of music history to the present. The enjoyment and appreciation of music as a whole can only be achieved if you are willing to listen in the first place, no matter what style is being played. Unless private music education is willing to adjust to the needs of this generation of kids, we'll lose a lot of them because we're unwilling to change our methods. Thanks for providing safe venues for all our young budding musicians here in Aurora. Your energy and commitment is infectious! Good luck with the School of Rock AND the traditional school you have already provided." - Donna D, Private Vocal Instructor, Aurora, OH
"It was amazing to see how well the kids did not only in their technique but in their spirit and their excitement and love of what they were doing. You could just tell "mom and dad weren't making me do this..." They truly loved what they were doing. That comes from good teachers." - Beth and John K, Aurora, OH
"...I have always wanted to improve my skills on piano, an instrument I grew up playing. Thanks to the lessons at ASM, I have been able to enhance my level of playing and take it to a new level. The faculty is dedicated artists and teachers and a joy to work with..." - Joyce H, Aurora,OH
"...my son, an advanced saxophone student, rediscovered the love of playing the piano...thanks to your inspired teaching...!" - Meryl G, Solon, OH
"...my daughter has come a long way toward learning to play the piano well as a result of the skillful instruction she received at the Aurora School of Music. The regular recitals (every 12 weeks) keep her focused on achieving short term goals which has meant remarkable progress within the short period of one year..." - Vlad G, Solon, OH
"...in the short period of 1 year, my daughter has gone from playing five finger melodies on the piano to playing concert repertoire from Bach, Chopin and Tchaikovsky...and she loves every minute of it! You must be doing something right! Keep up the good work. Best Wishes!" - Michele T, Bedford Heights, OH
