We feel incredibly lucky to have Brennan as our daughter's guitar teacher for more than 2 years. He is always enthusiastic, positive, and encouraging. Brennan is extremely talented not only with musical instruments, but as well as a teacher. He truly cares about his students. We can not thank Brennan enough.

Her drums teacher Brett is a wonderful instructor. Since our daughter's started drum lessons he has helped her so much to learn and grow. He is very patient, enthusiastic, and encouraging. We highly appreciate his dedication and support. Brett has been the most fantastic drum teacher we could have hoped for.

Our 9 year old son has been taking drum lessons with Brett Sellers at Stages for over a year now. Brett is an incredible instructor and accomplished drummer himself. He explains rhythm and tempo and the “why” behind everything from the drum kit setup to whatever other questions our inquisitive kid asks. He welcomes input from the students on their musical interests and encourages them with positive and constructive feedback.

I have been going to Stages for around three years, and it’s been great! My teacher Brennan knows a lot about music, and I look forward to my lessons with him!

My granddaughter, Niamh takes music lessons weekly with Molly. I like how Molly makes the lessons relevant for Niamh. It’s not a standard music book with songs you’ve never heard before, except for maybe Twinkle Twinkle Little Star. She’s sang Gracie Abram’s, played Taylor Swift on the guitar and keyboard, and the theme song from Harry Potter. She’s guided Niamh with chord selection for Niamh’s song writing. Molly encourages and promotes confidence with Niamh. Niamh loves her music lessons with Molly!!!! Thanks Molly!

Jason has been a great drum teacher. He always challenges me to improve and not to give up. I’ve gained confidence thanks to Jason. He explains techniques and always pushes me to improve. I’ve grown a lot as a drummer since starting lessons and would highly recommend Jason for every level.

Stages is the best! Everyone I've met there and have taken classes with loves music and shares their knowledge to help me become a better player. Huge shouts out to Brett Sellers and Brennan McShane. I'm in my second adult band with Brett who expertly leads us to making better tunes and becoming stage ready. And Brennan's guitar lessons make learning new songs, techniques, and methods way too much fun. Wish I had more time to play at Stages!

Mr. Chris (Lottes) has contagious enthusiasm for music and captures my child’s attention easily as he learns piano. He tailors the lessons to meet my child where his skills and energy levels are and encourages confidence that carries into willing practice at home.

Brett has been a phenomenal drum teacher for my 9 year old son. My son looks forward to his lessons with him and it warms my heart seeing my son smile after learning to play a new song. His confidence behind the kit has come a long way in a short period of time. We couldn’t be happier!

My son takes lessons with Graham Furnace, Taso Kotsos, and Paul Tokarz. He absolutely loves his lessons with each of these top notch, fantastic musicians. It is literally the only extra curricular that I have not had to “parent nag” him to go to, practice and engage to the fullest. If you are thinking about where to take lessons or where to enroll your child in lessons, your search is over, Stages top notch and these instructors beyond top notch!

I've been taking guitar lessons with Paul Tokars, and I've learned more in these 3 months than I typically do in a year. He is insanely good at guitar solo improvisation, which is really fun to listen to during our lessons and motivates me to get better at it myself. He's very attentive to the type of music I like and explains the theory behind the things we practice. He has a good memory and cares a lot about my progress. I'm really excited to keep learning from him.

Jason Cohen has been my drum teacher since my son stopped taking lessons, many moon ago! He inspired me to take up drums for the first time as an adult and I havent stopped since. He has a depth of patience, wonderful sense of humor, and amazing skill at bringing out the best in me. He has helped me progress as an adult learner, but also can work do the same with children. That is the gifted teacher, musician, performer that Jason is. He is a treasure!

Stages has been a great experience for me as a 40 year old beginner [guitar]. Brennan McShane is my current instructor and I give him an A+. He clearly puts a lot of thought [and after hours work] into planning for our lessons. Looking forward to our next lesson.

This is such a welcoming place! My kids and I all have had lessons here. The teachers help students to find what motivates them and builds their confidence. Brennan has superhuman patience and positivity, and he really knows his stuff. I highly recommend Stages for lessons and camps.

Stages has such a good vibe and energy from the moment you walk in. Whether it be performances being shown on the lobby TV screens, people chit chatting about music at the front desk, or the memorabilia and photos that line the walls, it gets you excited to show up to your lesson. Piano lessons with Brennan have been the BEST! He is so positive, upbeat and incredibly encouraging to our young piano player and is also very engaging with his students. The recital experience was also amazing and multiple ages/instruments showcased made it a joy to attend. We are so happy to have found this place!

My son loves his drum lessons with taso! He has learned so much in such a short time and says he is a wonderful teacher! He is 17 so I'm not involved in the lessons at all but just the fact that my teenage son get himself there weekly and does all of the practicing of his own accord speaks volumes!

My daughter has been working with Molly for a few years and absolutely adores her! She started with the guitar and has transitioned to the piano. Molly is always encouraging her and boosting her confidence. My daughter looks forward to her weekly lessons, never wanting to miss one. Everyone we have come into contact with at Stages has been kind and professional. We highly recommend Stages Music Arts!
