Powered by GoogleThis place is magical, teachers are adorable and amazing professionals and on top of anything they learn many types of arts expressions that will companion them for the rest of their life. The summer camp is one of the best in town, fun, educative and save. I'm very tanksful to this amazing art academy for all their hard and spectacular work they do.
My grandson has been involved with Encore Academy for over two years. He has been taking piano, drums, voice and musical theater classes. Sadly,the pandemic stopped the world in its tracks. The dedication of the teachers at Encore will not be deterred. Their passion for teaching the arts is limitless. They have worked tirelessly creating a virtual world for the students. My grandson is now taking voice and drum virtual classes at home. The teachers are willing to accommodate and guide their students through this new normal we are being forced to endure. Their expertise extends to children of all ages. I got in on the act. I have been taking virtual piano classes with Debora Sanchez all summer. She is very kind and patient. Believe me...it works. I am learning to read music and beginning to play the piano for the first time in my life. All from home. The classes are totally private. They function exactly as the in person classes. If you are apprehensive about venturing out these days.... this is the perfect option for you and your children.
I am so thankful for Encore Academy of the Arts! They have been a life saver during the pandemic. My son got a drum set for Christmas, but we hadn’t been able to set up drum lessons because of hectic schedules. Encore saved the day! He has been taking drum lessons online since April, and we are loving it! I can’t believe how much he has learned in such a short time. His teacher, Rafa, is amazing and inspires my son to do his best. Virtual drum lessons went so well that my daughter decided to take guitar lessons virtually. She had never played the guitar before. She has been taking virtual lessons with Mitchell since June. I am so impressed with how far she’s come! Mitchell is great, and my daughter is now learning Taylor Swift songs (along with the basics)! Both teachers keep the kids engaged and really help the kids learn and love their instruments. It has been so great that we are starting virtual Cuban dance lessons for my daughter next week. Everyone at Encore has been a dream to work with. They are super friendly and responsive, the utmost professionals. And now my house is filled with the sound of music ❤️
Encore is the very best place where you can take your child to learn about arts and complement his of her education. They offer instruction in a wide range of art foms including music, dance, plastic arts, etc. Their staff is superb in their dedication to the children's education amazing. It is very common to see children who don't want to leave after their lessons have ended, they have a very good time there while learning a lot.
Encore Music Academy is a wonderful place to have your children experience music to the fullest. The teachers are not only incredibly talented, but also gifted teachers. They have the patience and mindfulness to deal with children of all ages and characters. The kids truly enjoy their lessons and look forward to going to class. They involve the parents and give us updates after every class. We are able to see their progress with a bi-annual show. They also encourage them to take part of the guild, evaluations and competitions outside the Academy.
