"Every teacher that has worked with my child in the Early Childhood Classes at the Champaign School of Music has had not only technical skill, but also a contagious enthusiasm for the subject matter and most importantly, a manner that is friendly and inviting to children. I appreciate how the instructors use the teachable moments that occur during class, (for example, using the situation where a child has been having trouble producing a steady beat to introduce the technical terms for slowing down or speeding up the beat). The teachers obviously put their time into the preparation and follow-up of each class, and that made every lesson challenging but not overwhelming for my child. My child looks forward to music class, and he's always eager to play music games at home. He is proud of his accomplishments at the keyboard, and it is a joy to see how happy playing music makes him."

"An institution with exceptional instructors!"

"Katie's progress in playing piano constantly amazes our family. Champaign School of music has been a part of Katie's weekly schooling for the past 5 years. She always looks forward to her lessons and what new things she can learn. She has enjoyed working with different teachers throughout the years. All the teachers at the Champaign School of Music come with impressive professional backgrounds,their love of music shows through in the ability to patiently teach children. Katie performed recently at a small talent show. Their were many other children playing piano, yet Katie's performance caught the attention of many of the parents. As we were leaving the talent show I had one parent after another congradulating Katie and asking us where she took piano because they were so impressed with her performance. We were pleased to reply that Champaign School of Music had been where Katie had learned piano and her love of music."

"Jenny was a great teacher who really catered to how I wanted to learn. Very sweet and super smart."
