Testimonials
“Kat is the best singing teacher I have ever had. Not only is she funny and has a great energy, she teaches in a way that suits how I receive information the best, with visuals and analogies. I improved my singing so much in her lessons and am completely confident with my vocals now and how to use them ๐ she helped me find my voice and self expression.” – Nat
“I enrolled my daughter in music lessons (singing, piano and songwriting) as an activity after she broke her wrist earlier in the year and was banned from sports and dance.It completely filled the void and she has embraced it so well that she is continuing with music even though her cast is now off and she is back at dance two afternoons a week.
She has also moved her guitar lessons to Downtown as well – the studio really suits her.Sam and Kathleen and her teachers have been very flexible in adapting what she has been able to do and in growing her confidence.
I’m looking forward to the concert in two weeks to see what this quiet little girl can do now she is in a ‘rock band’ with her BFF.” – Lee anne
“What would we do without Downtown?! Kathleen and Sam have challenged my son and bought the absolute best out of him musically. They have given him multiple performance opportunities and continue to work closely with him to help him reach all his goals. Would highly recommend Downtown Creative Studios to everyone!” – Aimee
Frequently Asked Questions

For younger children aged 4 to 5 who are just beginning their musical journey, Downtown Creative Studios typically recommends starting with piano, as it provides a great foundation for understanding music. That said, if a child shows a strong interest in another instrument, itโs always best to follow their passion โ enthusiasm is the key to long-term success and enjoyment in music!
What lesson length is reccomended? Downtown Creative Studios recommends starting with 30-minute lessons, which is usually enough time to learn new material and have plenty to practice during the week. From there, lesson length can be adjusted based on the studentโs progress and enthusiasm.
