“The instructor was right on time, as I was. He made me feel comfortable & important. He also was quite amusing, in that he made me laugh & not feel so serious. This is a dream of mine to do, so I'm ready to go full speed ahead!!!” Kayte L., Violin Lessons “Everyone was very professional. The rates are great. My son came away from the lesson with more confidence.” Kristie I., Tuba Lessons “My son takes piano lessons at Strand. We absolutely love our instructor, she tailors the instruction to how each child learns best and keeps each lesson interesting.

A lot to offer.” Catherine V., Acting Lessons “Through an online site, I was quickly matched with Strand Studios, and a teacher promptly contacted me.

He and his teachers are top notch and make learning FUN! Pat H., Voice & Piano Lessons Thank you so much for finding a way to continue lessons during social distancing. It gives structure to our day with practicing and our week. It’s a little “normalcy” and a much- needed connection to the outside World.

Knowledgable, patient, and informative.” Andy. S., Drum Lessons “My son LOVES coming to acting class! He definitely has a new found love for acting.
