This business is scam, I heard so many complaints from parents over there about the billing. Thats why I stopped taking my daughter there and they still charge me. When I called to dispute and the guy in front office just said "whatever" to me. I give this school another year before it shuts down. So unprofessional

We have been supporting the school for several years, but unfortunately, we have noticed a decline in organization and communication over time. Schedules are often changed unexpectedly, and events can feel very unorganized. At times, staff members seem unclear about event planning, and parents are asked to adjust their schedules to accommodate the school’s needs, often with little or no advance notice. If you have a flexible schedule and are comfortable adapting to frequent changes, this may not be a major concern. However, if you value advance planning, clear communication, and well-organized events, you may find the experience frustrating. Based on our experience, poor communication, last-minute changes, and a lack of planning have become common concerns.

Hello Ms. Ho, Our billing is monthly, on the same date each month, unless a student stops lessons. Please email our office manager at [email protected] and they will be able to assist in whatever issue you are facing. All phone calls are recorded, so we are happy to pull the recording for you as well and investigate. Sincerely, Miriam

My 10 year old son has been taking piano lessons at Bee School for over 12 months and he has really grown a passion for it and has improved his piano skill tremendously. He loves his instructors Hung and Tyler and it's great to see how far he's progressed under his instruction. My son always looks forward to his lessons and hasn't once complained about going. We just love their approach to teaching and engaging the student. The building is well organized and convenient to access. Parking is close and plentiful. Keep up the great work Bee, Hung and the rest of the instructors at Bee Music school!

My daughter has been taking piano lessons here, and she loves it! She has had lessons at other music schools before, but this is the first time she has been thus engaged, and I am confident that it has to do with the environment. ;) The staff is very professional, flexible, and responsive. They accommodate scheduling and make-up lessons since we sometimes travel on weekends. The teachers are knowledgeable and friendly, and they genuinely want my daughter to excel. I plan to have my little one take a K-pop dance lesson soon.

It is a Great way to keep your children’s attention and continued learning of not only music, but language, memory, and social skills The dedication of the teachers and staff is commendable.

The staff here is incredibly friendly and accommodating, especially when it comes to our scheduling needs. If we’re unable to make it to our daughter’s weekly classes, they’re always flexible and allow us to reschedule for a time that works better for us. Our daughter is currently enrolled in piano, singing, and dance classes, and she absolutely loves it. Her favorite by far is the K-pop dance class, which she looks forward to every single week. The classes have really boosted her self-esteem—before coming here, she was very shy and didn’t like being in front of others. Now, she’s even performing after practice, and I often find her recording new dance moves she’s learned from school. The staff is always so warm and welcoming, which makes the experience even better. We also appreciated that the school offers a trial class, giving kids the chance to try it out before committing.

Thank you so much for your kind words and thoughtful feedback! We're thrilled to hear that your daughter is enjoying her piano, singing, and especially her K-pop dance classes with us. It’s wonderful to know that the classes have helped boost her confidence and passion for performing. Seeing her growth, both in skills and self-esteem, is exactly what we strive for. We're glad that our staff’s flexibility and warmth have made your experience even better, and we're always happy to work with you on scheduling! Thank you for choosing us, and we look forward to seeing your daughter continue to thrive and shine.

We’re thrilled to see our daughter Maria’s progress and passion for music grow under the guidance of Bee 🐝 music school. She started with the best teacher Mr. Brian and now she’s with amazing teacher Ms. Yuki who is doing her best to make the piano classes enjoyable and easy for her. Literally! The instructors are knowledgeable, supportive, and tailor their teaching to each student's needs. The lessons are engaging, fun, and challenging, making practice enjoyable. The facility is welcoming and well-equipped, making each visit a pleasure. The front desk receptionists are extremely nice and friendly! They are always available to answer your questions. We highly recommend Bee music school for any family seeking quality piano instruction with another great stuff. It’s an after school for all the activities your kids need. So if you’re looking for a musical experience or even more for your kids, this is the place you’re looking for. They truly care about their students and deserve more than 5 stars.
