WHAT PEOPLE SAY
Testimonials

“My daughter recently graduated from CMA and I can honestly say it was one of the most valuable investments that we have ever made. She was given excellent instruction in piano, music theory and ear training, and most importantly, a love for music! A wonderful bonus is that because it is parent/child, I too re-learned how to play piano!”
Kati, CMA mom
CMA was a great program for our family. I love the approach that involves parents in the learning and teaching. CMA involves lots of different methods of learning music and that kept our son interested and engaged.
Kathleen
Mother of a CMA graduate
I’ve been very impressed with the amount of musical knowledge my son gained in a very short time. I took piano lessons for over 10 years and (at CMA) I found I was still learning many new things. I highly recommend this program. It’s a gift!
Lynne
CMA Mom
CMA has been a wonderful experience for me and my son. I think music does make a difference in brain development and just knowing the basics and fundamentals will serve my son all of his life.
Victoria
CMA Mom
I am in love with CMA. I have seen such confidence and growth in my son since he started. I think his confidence growing in piano has flowed over to other areas of his life.
