We have been with Triumph Music a little over 2 years and have had the best experience imaginable. We have had my daughter taking piano and drums lessons in that time and she has excelled more than we could have imagined, I have also been taking guitar lessons with James and have had a great experience. My daughter has also been playing in one of the bands that the director James Hughes has put together, they have played numerous great gigs in that time and absolutely loves it.
I cannot say enough about the staff that James has put together to ensure the best direction for their students. They are very compassionate about the music they teach the students. James does an excellent job and goes above and beyond to ensure his staff and the students excel.
I recommend Triumph to anyone wanting to learn a musical talent.

We really enjoy working with our teacher, Carrie. She is very calming and supportive for our young son who takes lessons. She works with him on fundamentals but also lets him learn pop culture songs which increases his interest in learning. We have had a wonderful experience.
