They have never made me feel foolish or uncomfortable. The place is always clean and professional. They've worked around my busy schedule every time I've had to travel for work. I look forward to bringing my grandchildren here someday for their music camps. I can only imagine how wonderful they are from how great my private lessons have been.

  • My daughter took piano lessons at Leading Note Studios for about 6 years and unfortunately we had to say good bye last December because we moved to another State. For all those years, I couldn't wish for a better place! Camille, the owner, was extremely professional and a good human being; my daughter's piano teacher, Ms. Mary, was outstanding! I highly recommend Leading Note Studio!

    - Neide S.

  • Gabby had a great first engineering class! She can't wait to do the rest of her three classes. My daughter felt an immediate connection with Amber since their phone conversation. Meeting her today for the first time had truly made Gabby look forward to her remaining classes. The studio feels like home not only for my daughter but for me as well. It is such a welcoming and comfortable environment. We are so happy we found you guys!!

    Mary S.

  • I cannot put into words how grateful I am that we found Camille and Leading Note Studios! My daughters have been taking piano lessons there for almost 3 years now, and Camille has taught them so much, not only technically and musically (I am a violinist myself), but she has also been such an important influence on their character.
