My daughter has piano lessons with Miss Diane and art classes with Miss Sarah once a week and she loves both classes! Both teachers are fantastic, and very patient. We have had a great experience here at Fine Arts Connection. Both teachers have helped my daughter grow in her skill and confidence with piano and art. I would highly recommend Fine Arts Connection!

Thank you so much!
We love working with your daughter!!
This art school is a fantastic place for kids to learn and create. The instructors are kind, patient, and great at working with children. They explain lessons clearly and make learning fun while still teaching important art skills.
The classes are well organized and engaging, and kids are encouraged to be creative and confident in their work. It’s a positive, supportive environment where young artists can grow and enjoy learning.
If you are not sure about enrolling your child, I would highly suggest to attend a session that the art school offers for children on an occasional Saturday.

Thank you so much your kind words regarding our art instruction. Our Teachers have degrees and many years teaching experience. They thoroughly enjoy working with your children and helping them develop their special gifts and talents.
Mary is by far the best teacher for my kids! We have one in piano and the other guitar, and I’m always amazed at how much they can play!! They look forward to music lessons every week, and we tell everyone how amazing she is.

Thank you for your kind review! Mary is an amazing instructor in voice, guitar, piano, drums, ukelele, band leader, worship leader, etc. and we are blessed to have her at our school!
My daughter loves coming to do piano. Ms. Mary is a wonderful teacher and encourages her to express her creativity while also meeting her where she is at for the day.

We are so happy that your daughter loves studying piano with Mary.
She is an excellent teacher with a degree in vocal performance and a background in music therapy. She has many years of teaching and
performing experience and has the ability to relate well to students with
interests in voice, piano, drums, guitar, ukelele, etc. She is also a composer, recording artist, and has worked as a Worship Leader and Youth Band instructor for over a decade.
Mary has been doing vocals for my son for over 6 months and I’ve seen significant improvement in his vocal range, skill level, and confidence. I have recommended Fine Arts Connection for anyone looking for improvement in the arts.

We are delighted that your son enjoys his vocal lessons with Mary and have seen a significant improvement in his vocal range and overall musical ability.
I enrolled in piano lessons at the Fine Arts Connection at 81 years of age and have taken lessons for two years. I have the utmost respect for the school and my teacher. She has helped me do something I have always wanted to do, and I have learned so much these past two years. I have been given confidence to continue. She makes learning easy and comfortable, particularly for an elderly person who finds piano instruction helpful for cognitive stability. I highly recommend the school for all ages.

I thoroughly enjoy teaching Phyllis! She is proof that if you have a desire
to learn an instrument, you will be able to learn, have fun and accomplish great things at any age! She has progressed at a rapid rate due to her dedication to practice and challenge herself to continuously grow! Phyllis is a joy to teach!
We’ve had such a wonderful experience! My children both look forward to their lessons every week — one takes drums with Mary and the other piano with Diane. Both teachers are fantastic, patient, and make learning so much fun. They’ve really helped my kids grow in confidence and skill. They also love the art lessons — it’s always a highlight of their week! Highly recommend to any family looking for a fun, creative, and encouraging place for kids to learn.

We Love teaching your girls! They have been growing and developing their
skills and talents both musically and artistically. They are also very sweet
and caring towards the other students they encounter at our school and
try to help them as partners growing and learning together!
My daughter has been taking piano lessons here, and the experience has been nothing short of amazing. Mrs Diane is not only incredibly talented but also patient, encouraging, and genuinely passionate about helping her students grow. She strikes that perfect balance between structure and creativity—my daughter comes home excited to practice.
The school has such a welcoming atmosphere—it feels more like a community than just a place for lessons. You can tell they really care about nurturing a love for the arts, not just teaching the technical side.
If you’re looking for a place where your child will thrive musically and gain confidence along the way, Fine Arts Connection is the one. We couldn’t be happier!

Your daughter is very fun to teach because of her outgoing and very expressive personality! She is always enthusiastic and excited to learn
new things about music performance and new songs! I love that she
will also try to sing along with the songs that have lyrics she enjoys which is helping her develop her skills, techniques, rhythm, coordination and
overall musicianship! She has progressed much further than most students her age.
