  • Request a list of other students they've taught to check their experience.

My kiddo's started practicing ukulele at Roos Music back in 2017. They were shy then (8 yrs & 6 yrs) but Josh demonstrated so much patience and kindness. He helped build their confidence and love of playing music. The kids are now practicing the electric guitar with Aaron and Joey, who are just as fun and kind. Liz is exceptional at communication and will pop out after her lessons to say hello to the waiting parents. We love Roos Music! (Google Review)
