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.

This is our 2nd year at this music school and we have been completely satisfied! Ms. Lee is professional and caring and goes out of her way to accommodate the students. They are very flexible with the hours of the classes and they go over and above to prepare the students for the Certificate of Merit testing. They even offer extra practices and reviews to prepare for the CM. They have a very family friendly atmosphere and when I'm waiting for lessons to be over, I'm in the waiting room with my other children, doing homework.

Coming in with no voice or piano experience was daunting to begin with. However, the uplifting and informative guidance i received from Raffia really motivated and inspired me. A year and four months later, I find myself still inspired and motivated to keep growing and learning.

Marie is very good at understanding the needs of her students. She has helped me complete the music courses required for a degree in music. She knows exactly what to do, and how to do it. She’s very professional. She never stops encouraging me. She is kind, and very inspirational.
