MTS Studios

★★★★★Megan Sanchez

Both of my children have learned instruments (piano and guitar), at MTS and it's been a great experience both times. I really love the approach of letting the student's choose which music to learn as it keeps the lessons fun and interesting for them. My daughter is currently with instructor Alda who has been wonderful! She's kind, knowledgeable and a great musician. In just a few short months my child can play three of their favorite songs on guitar. Highly recommend this studio and highly recommend Alda!

I've been taking guitar lessons at MTS Studios going on three years now. Gabi has been my instructor during this time. I've had a wonderful time learning music and honing my skills here. Gabi has been a great instructor, she is incredibly knowledgeable and supportive. It's easy to tell that she is a highly experienced teacher. The classes have included a wide breadth of topics from fundamentals and music theory in solo classes, to band classes with multiple students learning to play together. The studio is a wonderful resource in the community and I'm glad to have the opportunity to take classes here!

Both of my kids have been taking lessons at MTS for over a year, and they really enjoy it! We especially appreciate the variety in the lessons; they include basic warm-ups, teach some music theory, and let students choose any song to learn. Gabi is teaching piano to my 6-year-old. She's excellent at explaining everything so he understands -- he says that she makes learning easy. My 10-year-old has been learning ukulele and just started working with Amita. She is very patient and is helping my child build her confidence.

We’ve had such a wonderful experience with MTS Studio over the past three years. Our older child started with ukulele lessons, and from the very beginning we were impressed by the quality of instruction and the warm, welcoming atmosphere. The instructors are truly exceptional—especially Gabi and Alda, who are not only talented musicians but also incredibly supportive and encouraging teachers. Over time, our older child decided to switch from ukulele to guitar, and the transition was seamless. After spending some time building skills and confidence on the guitar, they were encouraged by their instructor to join the band program. That encouragement made a huge difference, and joining the band has been such an exciting and rewarding experience for them. After seeing how much our older child enjoyed their lessons, we enrolled our younger child in violin. Our younger one needs a bit more patience and sometimes has difficulty focusing, but Gabi has been amazing. She’s incredibly intuitive and adaptable—when our child wasn’t feeling enthusiastic about playing, she would switch things up with clapping and rhythm exercises to keep the lesson engaging and productive. It made such a difference in building both skills and confidence. Our older child has loved the studio so much that they’re now starting voice lessons as well, which really speaks to how versatile and well-rounded the program is. Beyond the excellent teaching, the studio is also very well organized. Communication is clear, parents are kept informed about any schedule changes, and they’re always accommodating when adjustments are needed. We truly love MTS Studio and feel so lucky to have found a music school that nurtures both skill development and a genuine love of music. Highly recommend!

I’ve started learning cello with Gabi and I absolutely love her! She’s been a great teacher. She’s easy to talk to, very patient whenever I have questions with the material I am learning, and helping me learn to engage with some of my favorite music. 10/10 would recommend learning music from Gabi.
