BEACOCK MUSIC REVIEWS

I've been taking voice lessons here. Both Rebekah and Emily are kind people and good instructors, with different skills and talents to offer. All of the employees here that I've met are patient and friendly, willing to help out and answer any questions you have. Beacock is probably your best bet in the Vancouver area if you want to buy some music-related equipment. I bought the Encanto piano songbook here and it was sold at a pretty good price.

Excellent Customer Service! Riley went above and beyond helping me with my Ukulele. If you need help with anything that involves an instrument or music you have to go to Beacock Music . I tell everyone about this hidden gem in Vancouver, Washington.

I have worked with Beacock Music for decades. Good folks with a well stocked music store. Lessons and such are also available. They host/sponsor community-based groups.

VANCOUVER MUSIC ACADEMY REVIEWS

My 9 year old daughter joined VMA in December to receive vocal lessons from Stuart. She was previously receiving vocal lessons at a different music school, and since switching the progress she has made with her singing is exponential. She is excelling under Stuart’s leadership and has been loving her lessons with him. All the staff at VMA have been wonderful and are so friendly and supportive! Highly recommend.

I have been taking drum lessons at Vancouver Music Academy since the beginning of the year and it has been a great experience. My instructor, Alan, is patient, mindful, encouraging and helps you challenge yourself in fun ways. I’m enjoying my journey of learning new skills and techniques and excited to continue to do so.

Dylan and Gus have been exceptional teachers for my son. They meet him at his ability and stretch him to learn the foundations and cultivate a space to provide a unique and customized session. Highly reccomend them.

KEY TO MUSIC REVIEWS

We are incredibly happy with our son’s experience at Key to Music, a wonderful music school in Vancouver, Washington. The piano lessons here are absolutely magical — taught by kind, professional, and inspiring teachers who truly care about each student. From day one, our son felt welcomed and motivated. The progress he's made in just a few months is amazing. He not only learned to play music, but also developed better focus, posture, and confidence. The school’s atmosphere is warm and encouraging — a true gem in the community. We highly recommend this place to anyone looking for quality piano lessons in Vancouver WA. Thank you, Key to Music, for bringing music into our home and hearts.

Great school! Professional and friendly environment. Teachers build strong relationships with their students. They are very professional and at the same time polite, enthusiastic and encouraging. My two kids love their piano lessons. Being present almost on all of my kids’ piano lessons, I enjoy watching my kids learning piano, as well as watching teachers clearly explain how to read music accurately and neatly following all the directions and music notations.

Great music school and teachers! My daughters enjoy learning play a piano with a very professional, kind teacher Tatiana Petrovna. Highly recommend this school.
