Trusted by Families. Loved by Students.
Hear from families who’ve seen their children grow creatively and confidently at DEA Music & Art.
Sherma (an owner) is absolutely lovely. She is warm, and inviting and the children are obviously at ease around her. Her speaking voice is so melodic, and smooth. I can only imagine what she sounds like when she sings!
Mark (another of the owners) is obviously very knowledgeable, and the few lessons my friend's son have taken with him have been great.
Very excited to check out there summer camp offerings. Feeling very lucky to have such a high caliber school right around the corner!

“When children are given an opportunity to express themselves creatively, their self-esteem skyrockets. They feel empowered and excited about the future because they know that there is no better feeling than being able to create something from nothing!”
