This place is great! My son, who is seven years old started piano lessons just over two months ago. He has made some great strides and really loves taking lessons with Mr. Mark. It’s actually hard to believe it’s only been two months since he seems to be flying through the books. I will say I do have him practice every day for about 20 minutes and that is making all the difference with his progress.When I first learned of DEA, I loved that it was super conveniently located in Morristown. I had heard of them from a friend who had a great experience, where their daughter was given the option to try lots of different instruments before picking what she would like to pursue playing. We decided on piano and couldn’t be happier. Sherma, who is probably the one you will talk to first, is so nice and sweet and very helpful. She also does voice lessons and we are hoping to sign my son up for that as well in the near future. If I could, I would sign him up for all the lessons, because the caliber of teaching is very high quality. They also really want to get involved with the community, and I think building connections and supporting one another is incredibly important now. I definitely recommend checking them out!
My experience here has been an amazing experience. I am learning more about myself with music than I knew Yes The people are nice and friendly, and the teacher is amazing.
Sherma and Mark are wonderful people, talented musicians. I went to visit before signing my daughter up for summer camp and I got instant good vibes. My daughter loves camp and only wants to go to camp and not school. Celia the art teacher is very kind and great with the kids. I feel really thankful to have DEA and Sherma and Mark in my community. This is a wonderful little gem that everyone in Morristown and surrounding areas should really check out.
