Virtuoso Music School: Top-Notch Instruction and a Nurturing Environment Both my sons have flourished at Virtuoso Music School since 2021. The highly qualified and experienced staff, like Mr. Bard and Mr. Matthew, provide excellent personalized instruction that caters to all skill levels. They go beyond technique, fostering a love for music and building confidence in every student. Virtuoso's friendly and supportive atmosphere sets it apart. Their annual recital, a professional showcase of student progress, is a highlight of the year. We've witnessed significant improvement in our sons' musical abilities and performance skills, thanks to Virtuoso's dedication and expertise.

Great school! My daughter goes to School of Little Talents and takes weekly half an hour private voice lessons with Eric. While she’s not the most focused student, Eric manages to keep her interest and is very flexible in his teaching. He lets her pick her favorite Disney songs and works with her through the difficult parts, which keeps her engaged and motivated. I had zero expectations when we signed up, but was amazed to see how much her voice developed throughout the year.

I was looking for an online music school, as I work until the evening. And in social networks, I accidentally found the Virtuoso School of Music and Art. I live in the Netherlands and we have a big time difference. Despite this, I decided to contact the director of the school, Ms. Svetlana. I explained to her that I was very interested in starting to learn to play the piano, and that was my dream for many years. She kindly showed me through FaceTime her beautiful school, which is very nicely decorated and helped me choose a convenient time for classes. She introduced me to a very professional teacher, Mr. Eric, who has a lot of knowledge. He is very kind and very patient. He gives me a lot of advice on how to be productive and achieve very good results. I have been taking piano lessons for more than a year and I am very satisfied. From time to time, Mrs. Svetlana visits my class and listens to my performance, which motivates me to practice more and shows my progress. This is a very organized and great music school that I highly recommend!
