We've been taking lessons with Lara for almost a year now and she's the best! Lara is professional and patient, her teaching style just really helps our 12 year old learn piano.

Very unprofessional. I booked my appointment on June 1st with my first appointment being June 12th. On the day of my appointment (today), the instructor contacted me to confirm my appointment time and provide a brief description of myself. 2 hours before my appointment the instructor informed me that she had reached capacity with scheduling and could not take me on as a student. I do not appreciate having to wait 12 days to be canceled on just a couple of hours before my lesson. This was not a good first experience with Take Lessons. Hopefully, my next instructor is more considerate of others' time.

Lara was very thorough and VERY patient with my hyper 5 year old. She has a nice set up and is welcoming. Looking forward to more lessons!
