★★Lauren

Underwhelmed. The instructors were just OK. We felt our instructor was just letting our kid dictate what she wanted to do the entire class instead of challenging her to her full potential. Also, super expensive for just 1/2 hour lessons. Not to mention the admin team is a bit all over the place and difficult to deal with. Would definitely not recommend.

★★★★Hannah Tollison

It was good. An artists' space for sure. Pictures, pianos galore, along with some other things. Small, cozy feel to it. My son was really interested in the drums, but didn't like the ones there. They are electronic hah. My daughter was interested in the pianos. Nice guy who helped/"taught." He taught a scale to them and rehearsed it vocally several times. It was a free trial class so we didn't really do a whole lot. It was a little hard for my kids to figure out what they like. There wasn't much organization or planning ahead of time. But, I think we can make it work on what to pursue with them in the future.

Love CSCA! Both my daughters have been taking piano here for a while, the teachers are very nice and engage the kids. Their summer camps are also really fun. Highly recommend CSCA for music and art lessons!

★★★★★Jennifer Pierce

We have been at CSCA for years. Mr Tom has been an amazing instructor! He works with them on pieces to develop their skills AND he lets them choose pieces that inspire them and are developmentally appropriate. Our home and our holidays have been infused with music our daughter learned from CSCA. Would highly recommend giving CSCA a try. We now have several friends there as well that are so happy.

★★★★★Mary Collins

Our son has been a student at Cary School of Creative for nearly 7 years. He has had not only excellent instruction in music and art, but has also had the opportunity to enjoy Rock Band Camps that led to performing Rock bands, now in his second one mentored by professional musician/instructors. Tom Hutchison, the school founder and owner, is a father of 3. He understands that schedules are tight and time and money need to be spent wisely. He teaches keyboard/piano, and also artfully students to the ideal instructors. Because there is such a range of instruments and teachers, from very classically trained to currently performing rock musicians the youth and adult students can get just what they need and want. As students grow there is opportunity to learn more including opportunities to write music, record, and perform. Recitals are truly entertaining for all parents and students. Our son has been able to assist at the school the past school year and this summer, he loves the school and so do we!
