What our families say.

"Our 10yo son is taking weekly piano lessons with Cameron. He is doing great and really loving it. Cameron is a fantastically talented teacher who has somehow managed to get him hooked on piano in just 8 lessons. He gets up early every day and fills the house with scales, chords, arpeggios, and his weekly pieces."

, Jonathan Lynch

"My daughter Lillian (10 years old) started guitar lessons with Justin. She had zero experience. She LOVES it and is excelling! Justin is kind and extremely talented in teaching. She gets excited to go to lessons and comes out with a huge smile. Best studio around!"

, Antonia Schoembs

"Justin Knox is a very talented young man. He walked me through chords and reading music, as well as the details of the guitar. As an adult student, I was nervous about picking up an instrument but I am now pretty confident I can learn how to play the guitar."
