"Music lessons here have been a game changer for our family. The best thing we have seen is the tremendous growth in the confidence of our children. It is a lifelong gift to give your children, and this is the best place to start."
"We have had the most amazing experience with CSOM. They paired our daughter up with the most amazing teacher ever. Everyone is super kind and the studio rooms are so fun. My daughter loves her piano time so much."
"Our six year old granddaughter has been taking piano for about four months and she is loving it! She cannot wait to show us what she is learning every week. Her teacher Sharon is wonderful. She is patient and such a great teacher. I think we will be here for a long time!"
"Our experience has been great! It's so easy to schedule and adjust lessons. My daughter's teacher Dale makes learning piano fun for her. This passion carries over to my daughter and she gets more confidence each time she plays."
"I signed my granddaughter up for guitar lessons. She has only been to 5 lessons and is already playing some popular songs! Her teacher Porter is fantastic — so engaged and genuinely excited by her progress. You can tell he absolutely LOVES what he does."
"Our 7 yr old daughter was eager to learn guitar and Hunter has wowed us from day one. Only 1 month in and our gal is already getting the Led out and properly learning her chords! The school is clean, attentive to communication, and staff is professional."
"Will has done an outstanding job taking a young kid with zero experience and building confidence and enthusiasm, working to the speed of the student so they don't get overwhelmed or frustrated."
"I can say without a doubt that Autumn is the best teacher I've ever worked with. I learned more from her in my first couple of months than I did through 15+ years of other teaching. She is genuinely caring, and I leave my lessons feeling confident."
"Big shout out to Lexi who helped transform my son into being more comfortable with his voice, which led to passing a major audition! She is the best!!!"
"My 3 children take voice lessons from Ms. Natalie. She is the absolute best. She makes it fun, keeps them motivated, and their musical talents are always improving. She knows how to nurture potential in young people!"
"My son has been going there for about 2 years now and he loves his drum lessons! The staff is friendly and his teacher is very attentive to my son's abilities and needs. My son has performed at two recitals and has done an amazing job!"
"Our 7 year old son is loving his time with Mason learning drums. It is his first instrument or music lesson ever and Mason balances fun with progress that keeps our 7 y.o. excited every week."
"I take drum lessons with Matt (the greatest, most patient drum teacher alive) and have learned so much! The staff is extremely accommodating and they all seem to really love what they do. If you're looking to learn drums, Matt's your guy."
"I've been taking violin lessons here with Korah for a couple months now and I love it. She's the sweetest and is very patient with me. They are flexible with scheduling and I really feel like I'm learning my instrument."
"Our daughter has taken both violin and piano at CSM for a year and enjoyed every lesson. She was even able to take extra violin lessons in preparation for a high school violin event and received the highest scores possible!"
"They responded immediately to my inquiry by phone, email and text. Made it incredibly easy to sign up. My son has been doing lessons for a few weeks now and we couldn't be happier. Flexible, reasonably priced, and very pleasant to work with."
"As an adult in my fifties I was a little concerned about starting guitar. My experience turned out to be great — thorough communication from the staff and a fun, knowledgeable instructor. I highly recommend this school for kids and grown ups like me."
"I am going back to learn piano after many years. My goal is to play with my grandchildren. Vincent is a nice and patient teacher. He understood that I am also busy with my family life and work. I really enjoy the experience of learning music at CSM."
"CSM is a fantastic school for re-educating and getting rid of bad habits. I haven't taken a lesson in over 30 years. My instructor has been very patient and we make breakthroughs during every lesson. I really appreciate and enjoy CSM!"
"Absolutely the best! Working with CSM as a working mom of two is so easy. They text, email, call and the responses are timely — like REALLY timely. The customer service is the best I've experienced in a long time."
"Our experience the last 2.5 years has been wonderful! Clear, closed loop communication, and someone is always available to answer any questions. They are also VERY flexible as far as scheduling and try their hardest to meet your needs."
"We love the Cincinnati School of Music. Our oldest started here 8 years ago. I have three kids with various levels of interest and aptitude and they have all been happy here. Low pressure recitals for all levels. Highly recommend."
"CSM was a great experience! The administrative staff takes care of literally everything. The owners, Anna and Joe, were great, friendly people who always got back to me promptly. I loved the relaxed atmosphere and the freedom to tailor my teaching style to each student."
