★★★★★Heidi KinkelOur daughter has been a member of the school for the past 2 years and couldn't be happier! Beautiful school right in the hear of Garden City with convenient parking and waiting room. Flexible hours and easy bookings for make up lessons. Their amazing staff and diverse range of music instruction programs can fit everyone's needs. As the parent of a busy teenager, it was hard at times to keep her focus in music. Violin is a very challenging instrument and thanks to the help of her talented and encouraging instructor, our daughter looks forward to her lesson every week. We would love to thank your school for helping Sarah achieve top score on her NYSSMA performance. The Kinkel family will be a proud member of your Music Academy, for many years to come!! If you're looking for a great experience in music education, look no further!
★★★★★Theresa GiammonaMy daughters have been attending the Music Academy of Garden City for the past 5 years. The Music Academy has provided my daughters with professional and quality instruction of their selected instruments with patience, encouragement and understanding. Besides their regular weekly lessons, my daughters have participated and enjoyed many of the extra musical workshops and ensembles that are offered by the Music Academy. The facility is big, beautiful, and very friendly. There are windows in each of the classrooms so you can look in on your child's instruction. The Music Academy of Garden City staff has become family. They have a sincere and genuine interest in each one of their students and will support them in any way that they can. I would HIGHLY recommend the Music Academy of Garden City! We have only had the BEST experience with MAGC!!
★★★★★Eric B.The Music Academy of Garden City is an exceptional institution. Our three sons have attended the Academy for more than five years and studied a number of different instruments giving us the opportunity to work with a variety of the Academy's instructors. Every one has been an accomplished musician, a great teacher and an absolute pleasure to have as an instructor for our children. The consistently high quality of instruction and the high level of professionalism with which the Academy operates make the Academy an unusual find. I would highly recommend the Music Academy of Garden City.
★★★★★Maya BensenMy three sons go to the Music Academy of Garden City for a number of years now. The owners of the place are professionals who happened to be quite talented musicians as well. The teachers they hire fit the same criteria: they have at least a bachelor degree and either have or are working on their masters in music and/or education. Besides the education, my boys' teachers over the years exhibited a lot of talent, enthusiasm and love to music, which might be the reason my three sons enjoy this place so much. I have in the past and would in the future highly recommend the school to my friends and family.
★★★★★Sabine PavoneMy son has been attending Music Academy of Garden City for over 5 years and has had a wonderful experience. The owners, John and Peter Coco, are always courteous, attentive, and professional. All the teachers are excellent musicians and educators. The support staff is efficient, friendly, and helpful. I would highly recommend this school to any musician, from beginner to experienced. My son has become a proficient drummer because of what he has learned at this school. Thank you Music Academy.
