"Thank you for all the wonderful work/experience you provide, making homes brighter!"
"This is very nice. I was not present during the lessons for both my children; however my wife was and said it was a very pleasant experience. She was very impressed with the instructors as well as how much our children enjoyed their lessons. Both of them immediately had to show me what they learned when they arrived home, which is stupendous. Ty for reaching out and offering the opportunity for their inner musician to blossom. We look forward to our next lesson."
"Thank you...you all are awesome."
"My daughter LOVED her first lesson! She had a huge smile leaving and immediately starting practicing the new things she learned. As a parent, I am VERY impressed with how this academy is run, including your social media management, the use of email and texts for communication, the timelines and thoroughness of communication, and the people. So excited to be starting this journey with Okemos Music Academy!"
