John Hanson-the best! My voice, my voice has improved so much over the last year because of John’s instruction. When I listen to recordings of myself before I started the lessons I’m actually embarrassed. I started these lessons for improvement and he’s given it to me in spades! He has helped me find my correct range and vocal limits which was big. In starting out, John had to deal with somebody who had many, many years of bad habits, and I believe he has corrected it pretty much all of them. I am nothing but thankful!

So happy with my son's instruction with John! They play real songs together, and my songs genuinely enjoys learning and playing. I've seen real growth both in ability and in desire to participate in other music (band in school, camps, etc) and I couldn't be happier.

Tracy is absolutely amazing! She is very welcoming, warm, empathetic, and super funny. My daughter loves seeing her every week and her lessons really make her day. Tracy is also great with constructive criticism and knows how to help in the most effective ways possible.

My daughter began violin lessons in the past 6 months, she's 5, her teacher Tracy L. Is so amazing! She is patient and sweet; my daughter enjoys her lessons! She also progressed quickly- Tracy is great with giving her extra materials to help her as well. She communicates the music and her progress so we know what to practice at home. We live downtown but we agree that the academy and Tracy are worth the little drive! I highly recommend Tracy and Hilliard Music Academy for their kindness and dedication to my daughter's musical interest!

Kyle has been an excellent drum teacher for our 9-year-old kiddo, who started as a total beginner and has been taking lessons for over a year now. We’ve seen growth not just in his drumming skills, but also in his discipline, focus, and love of playing the drums. Kyle is patient while still appropriately challenging, which has been a great balance. He adjusts when our kiddo is struggling; he meets him where he is and helps him work through it without frustration, keeping him motivated and confident.
