I'm a 74 year old retired man. I have always loved acting but have had some minor challenges due to bad eye sight and I'm not that computer savvy. Jim helped me learn how to use an I-pad my grand daughter gave me to help me expand fonts to read scripts. Though I'm only doing this so far for a hobby, I can see huge improvement in my ability to memorize scripts and act convincingly. Jim encouraged me to audition for the community senior center's drama club. I couldn't believe it I got right in and enjoying meeting new people (I'm widowed). Jim has been a Godsend. I'm finding new joy and I'm enjoying seeing local theatre productions. I appreciate his kind, patient, and professional matter. Acting lessons with Jim is what got me through the horrible isolation during Covid quarantine. He is also incredibly knowledgable on health such as veganism, breathing/meditation and is encouraging me to get into a healthier lifestyle. My voice/sinuses improved after giving up dairy. I used to get chronic sinusitis. So I feel acting has been beneficial to my overall health. Though Jim is pricier than other teachers in the area... I believe you pay for what you get. The extra money I pay is well worth it. The two other acting coaches I used before Jim...were mediocre and treated me like an invalid. Jim continues to inspire me to be the best I can be in all areas of my life. I consider him a good friend and he is one of the best educators out there.

Shelah has great patience! She is pleasant and easy going.

Not only is Ainur a beautiful violinist, but as a teacher she meets the student where they are and is not afraid to try different strategies she thinks will work best for your student rather than sticking to a rigid learning plan. She has a lot of patience but simultaneously high expectations.

They are a professional school. They have detailed programs for each student. Their teachers have Master Degree in Music from university for emphasis in their particular instrument. They are member of MTAC Merit of Certificate so after certain time my kid can take exam and pass to next level. I saw the progress. School is big and clean. A lot parking lot. Price is reasonable. My daughter can participate a band and often perform in holidays. High recommend

Dr. Clancy is not only at the top of her field as a performer and academic, she is a gifted educator. I took the violin along with my daughter- I was able to se Dr. Clancy adapt her teaching style for our different ages. If you're even slightly considering taking up the violin, JUST DO IT! My life has been so enriched by my time with her. My daughter is already better than me, but that's ok!

I believe I was Chris’ first vocal student, and I couldn’t tell by the way he ordered the lessons. His patience despite a vast resume of experience in performance was a refreshing balance. There was a great mix of vocal warmups that, when practiced consistently, opened up my breathing and control, as well as many opportunities to learn songs that I wanted to learn and could prepare for auditions. Chris is proficient, patient, and pleasant and I would highly recommend him for vocal lessons.
