Both my 5 year old and 8 year old daughters are enrolled at AMDC.

Ms. Carly is the ballet teacher for my 5 year old (who is very shy and doesn’t interact much with other kids). Ms. Carly works with her well and ensures that she feels included in all the group activities. As the school year ends, I can see progress in my daughter’s social skills through being enrolled in her class.

Ms. Annie has been such a great ballet teacher to my 8 year old. She gets the help and feedback that she needs and makes each class enjoyable.

Both my daughters are learning a lot of dance techniques and look forward to their lessons every week.

Ms. Annie and her assistant Ingrid are fantastic ballet teachers. The respectful command these teachers have over playful 3 year old girls is beautiful to watch and such an important part of my daughters development. She is learning to appreciate Ballet as a skill set that makes her proud. She remembers that she has to listen and focus during practice and we can carry that over into other parts of her life. I have seen such an improvement in her focus and her confidence as a dancer. She's always floating around doing ballet dances. I like that they treat the dance as a discipline and hold the students to a standard. The student's rise to the occasion. I love this place and my daughter will continue to take lessons here as long as she is interested.

I absolutely love the piano lessons my kids have at AMDC. Their teachers are very engaging and are quite responsive to the kid's specific style and pace of learning. It has also been amazing to see how well they pivoted to online learning during the COVID-19 pandemic. My kids have not slowed progress on piano thanks to Zoom, Ian, and Michael!

My daughter just began singing lessons and my son started drum lessons here with Lisa and so far we are really happy with the teachers, staff and level of service! They were very accommodating with my kids schedules, everyone has been friendly and communication is great. Highly recommend.

Ms. Annie is such a great teacher to the younger age group!! So patient and supportive, and has a great understanding and way of teaching all the kids. I’ve had a chance to see her with the older kids when bringing in my daughter and it’s easy to see that she is very good at what she does no matter the age group!

I have multiple kids taking lessons with AMAD.
Jordan has been teaching my son guitar for two years now. He's a reluctant learner, but Jordan has been able to keep him excited to practice and learn an instrument.
Annie is both of my girls dance teacher. My older daughter has gotten to participate in the combo ballet and tap class, I'm impressed with how much she's learned in a year!
The "My first ballet" class is fantastic for the little dancers just starting out. Annie makes it fun while also doing a good job of keeping control of a class of 3 and 4 year olds. Both of my girls are excited for class each week and the end of year recital, so they can show off what they've learned.

All three of my children take lessons at AMDC. Jordan is fantastic at making violin fun and at just the right level for my first grader. She really enjoys her lessons!
Alex is excellent at teaching my fourth grade child piano and really making sure she knows her skills.
And Vince and Marlo are great at instructing my twelve year old at guitar. They make sure he knows the basics and really help him have fun exploring and playing different types of music from the Beatles to classic rock to Irish jigs.
Annie is great dance instructor too!

Ms.Annie is a fantastic ballet teacher! She engages my daughter by incorporating fun and silly movements while still teaching her the art of dance. We started at AMDC last summer and have loved every minute of it! I highly recommend Ms.Annie!!
