The staff are great and the lessons are quality. I have 2 children who take piano and voice at Blair, and they really enjoy their instructors. There are monthly opportunities for recitals and additional challenging opportunities within the year. We really enjoy being part of the Blair community.

My daughter has gone to Blair Academy for several years and has had violin lessons with Fatma. They have been wonderful to work with. She has improved greatly over her time there and really enjoys her lessons. I’ve dealt with Daniel and Margo a lot on the parent side and that's always been great too.

Thank you Emily for trusting us and also helping to supply us with tremendous talent :)

My son has been with Blair Academy for a while now starting in the Mini Musicians program, then the summer music camp, and now private lessons. Every step of the way has been a wonderful experience. The teachers are amazing, patient, encouraging, and truly talented. My child has grown so much in both skill and confidence. The facility is also well taken care of, and even the bathrooms are clean (which as a parent, I really appreciate!). Highly recommend to anyone looking for quality music education for their kids.

Thank you Emily for your kind words and for noticing our clean bathrooms!

As an adult student I have learned so much from my amazing teachers. They have taken the time to work with my failing eye sight. I have met so many interesting and talented people. I feel great when I walk through the doors at Blair Academy.
