THE PEOPLE WHO KNOW US BEST
Trusted by Families.
Loved by Students.
Hear from families who’ve seen their children grow creatively and confidently at DEA Music & Art.
My kids absolutely love their music lessons. My daughter takes singing lessons with Sherma, who is incredibly talented and kind.
He has encouraged my son’s own areas of interests and helps keep him self-motivated and practicing between sessions. A great experience !
I have learned many things from Mark and my skills on the violin have increased. He also has flexible schedules.
Creativity starts with people.THE HEART OF DEA
