The BUNKE Family - Guitar, Violin, Piano & Pre-K Music, and  Rock Band Group Lessons

" We love Charlotte Music School!  We have 5 children and 4 are enrolled at Charlotte Music School. I have a son that has ADHD, and his Pre-K Music teacher is so patient with him.

My other son, takes guitar lessons. His guitar teacher is teaching him to read sheet music, tablature and how to take proper care of his guitar too.

My other two sons take piano and violin lessons and they started at 4 years old. Plus taking the music lessons have helped them with their concentration. Both are learning to play all of their favorite songs, and proper technique.

My kids are now looking forward to when they start the Rock Band class again, where they teach the kids to play as a band and to write music. They also have a music technology lab that gives the history and the fundamentals of music. My kids love the Lab!  The staff is very professional, family oriented and knowledgeable at Charlotte Music; I would recommend them to my friends and family. We drive an hour from Denver just to take music lessons here because the school is the best. We love Charlotte Music School!!!"

Mr. Nelson Sweazy - Drums - Adult Student

"As an adult drum student at Charlotte Music School, I could

not be happier. Even though I live in South Charlotte

I visited several nearby schools, but I choose to commute

to Charlotte Music School. Their staff and their teachers

are fantastic. Plus, Charlotte Music School works with drum students on the truly acoustic drum kit and that's exactly what I was looking for.

I really look forward to every week's class, as my teacher inspires me and other students to really practice on each week's lesson.

I will recommend Charlotte Music School to my friends and their families. The 2011 Spring Charlotte Music School

recital was a showcase of well prepared

students achievements, and of course, a well done drum routine from a 3 yr. old. student to adults.

At the recital were definitely

not apprehensive about performing either; as their teachers

had the kids so well prepared that they literally ran or sometimes danced to the stage to play their favorite piece.

Each student's teacher was by their side for every performance. From the look of satisfied parents around the room, Charlotte Music School probably added a few adult students for the next semester as well. A well planned and executed recital that I will attend again."

Nelson has been taking Drums Lessons for 2 years at Charlotte Music School.

“ Our son Keshav have been taking lessons for 6 years now at Charlotte Music School.

Before we found Helen and this perfect school, my son had 3 different in-home teachers. It was a nightmare. One teacher quit, the other moved away and one got pregnant and stopped teaching at our house. We had enough.

Then, we found Helen and her school Charlotte Music School. Ms. Helen's enthusiasm in teaching music is  the best and she passes it to all her staff at the school.

 Because of Charlotte Music School, I think my son Keshav has also developed the confidence to play music in public. His favorite composer is Beethoven. I have noticed during recitals, the standard and level of music of all the students is high.

As a parent, we are delighted that my son has a great opportunity to learn from Ms. Foessett.”  Durure & Smita Shah – Parents of Keshav

The RENCE Family - Violin Lessons

"My daugther Jeslyn started Violin Lessons at Charlotte Music School about 1 year ago. She took an introductory group class in Suzuki Violin Group Class here when she was only 3 years old. She excelled in her class and she started private violin lessons and she has been in private for about a year now.

What I like most about the school is that the school has the right program in place for any age. My daughter has improved so much because of Charlotte Music School. The teachers do not just teach her violin but also help with her concentration and determination, which I think has greatly improved because of her Violin lessons.  We are greatly impressed with Charlotte Music School. They do a good job here."

The TRIPP Family -  Drums & Piano

"Both teachers are great with my daughters Gwen (Piano) and Weatherly (Drums). They give feedback on how they are doing and what they need to work on every week.

I also like the computer lab. It helps with their music theory. My girls both made great progress and they look forward in going to Charlotte Music School every week. Even better is that they both want to practice their instruments at home.

The GRAY Family - Voice, Piano, Violin & Guitar Lessons

Excellent Music School! We have 3 children at Charlotte Music School, and they have thoroughly enjoyed their lessons.

Our 8 year old daughter takes piano lessons and participates in the school choir.

Our 5 year old son has tried Suzuki violin, been in the preschool music class, and now takes piano lessons.

Our 10 year old son takes violin lessons, is hoping to start guitar too, and had the opportunity to participate in the violin band summer camp taught by an Associate Concert Master of the Charlotte Symphony (that was an amazing experience for him!).

All 3 of our kids look forward to their lessons every week. Their teachers' professionalism and enthusiasm is evident. They are great at making lessons fun and rewarding for the kids, while still teaching the important basic fundamentals and theories of music.

We also love the family friendly environment of the school. They worked with us to schedule our lessons on the same night so it would be more convenient for our family schedule. The atmosphere of the school is warm, friendly and inviting. It is obvious how much Helen, the Director and the whole staff care about the students and the school, and how much they all love music.

We also love the wide variety of opportunities offered by the school. There are lessons offered on many different instruments, all taught by well educated and talented musicians. There are group music lessons, a choir, summer camps, workshops, etc. It's great that our children can try out different instruments or experience different music opportunities while still staying at the same school.

There are also many performance opportunities offered through Charlotte Music School. There are two recitals per year, and the students also have the opportunity to participate in community service performances in the area. We love that our children are able to experience the challenges and rewards of performing for a live audience, and that they have the opportunity to give back to the community through what they are learning (and loving) so much. We give our highest recommendation to Charlotte Music School."

The GOTUR Family - Piano & Drums Lessons     

  "We love the school because we started  taking lessons with Helen (director) at her house before she opened her music school.

 Her enthusiasm about music lessons is contagious. She makes everything fun and exciting for the kids. She knows how to teach. My kids have been taking lessons at Charlotte Music School for 4 years now.

The cool thing is that the pictures of the kids

on the front windows of the school are pictures of actual students. Both of my sons are there. Everything in this school is personal.

 Also, every time I referred a friend to the school, they give me a free lesson, so my kids got to try different instrument lessons for free!
