★★★★★Monica BradleyWe love taking violin lessons, knowledge staff
★★★★★Lorie V-CWe have been an AMS family for 7+ years and cannot say enough good things about the school and teachers! Our sons did their 1st ever summer camp last week and had an absolute AWESOME time! They really enjoyed making music with other teen musicians. We were all so impressed (including them) at how great it was to be working with other teens who were experienced and that they could knock out a 5 song set list in under a week! ☺️ I just want to say thank you for offering such awesome camps like Teen Pop/Rock Camp (with awesome teachers, like Gabrielle)! Our sons have grown tremendously over the years at AMS, and their love of music continues to keep growing and maturing.
★★★★★Patty DennehyI started playing an instrument I literally knew nothing about except I thought it sounded beautiful. I’ve been a student for 4 years and throughly love it! The teachers are very knowledgeable and patient, I am very proud to be a part of the Asheville Music School family.
★★★★★Amy FineI have been taking cello lessons at Asheville Music School for over 2 years now, and I can honestly say that it has been an amazing experience. I am a business owner, who travels a lot, but I always wanted to learn how to play the cello. I didn't think starting a new instrument was possible until I started taking lessons at AMS with Ryan Reardon. It has been great because I can fit it into my busy schedule, and still grow in what I am learning. The environment is amazing! Everyone is happy to be there, and we're all learning and growing together.
