This means that students can create music of any genre they want, but they are making it electronically, using computers.

Nathalie Savell

This place is top of the line! From the staff upon entry to the teachers and behind-the-scenes folks I’ve met, everyone seems to be having a great time and truly passionate about music education for kids. We love it! This is my daughter doing a cartwheel in the waiting area while her brother does his electronic music lesson.

Roxanne Smalkin

Our son has learned a lot -- and enjoyed -- both Electronic Music Production and drum lessons with Jason over the past 3 years.

Kathleen Harris

My child has been attending Stages on regular basis since 2021 and I cannot say enough good things about this school. The facility is top-notch, the employees are kind, understanding, and accommodating, the teachers are highly skilled and genuinely interested in the development of their students, and the band programs have instilled skills and confidence that have far surpassed my expectations.

Isaac Lunday

I've been going here for drum lessons and electronic music production lessons for a year or two now, and to say that this place is awesome is an understatement. This place has taught me so many things about drumming, music production, and just music in general over the time I've been here. The facility here is so nice and professional. This place let me discover my love for music production and it's now something I do from home almost every day. I would highly recommend this place for anyone looking to learn how to play an instrument or how to produce music.
