β€œThe Bartell Music method taught me two songs after just one lesson. Felt pretty accomplished.”- Lynn Dwyer

β€œMy biggest concern was that they would have me practicing endless scales and never really playing music! From the beginning, they had me playing β€œgreat lively and fun songs” and emphasizing artistic impression. Not just playing notes! They were teaching me music and I was playing the accordion!” – Dale Johnson

β€œThe method used by Bartell Music Academy has been so encouraging. I had assumed that piano lessons would be much more stressful than they have been. Bartell Music Academy has made learning music fundamentals natural and stress-free.” – Joshua Miller

β€œBartell Music Academy is a great place to learn because they teach you in a manner that will help you learn to play. They don’t teach generically so that you have to conform to the teaching methods, but rather the instruction is tailored to your needs.” – Ricardo HernΓ‘ndez

β€œI enjoy playing musical instrumentsβ€”If I had the time, I would take the piano, accordion, ukulele, and guitar lessons at this Academy! Nothing like the drill sergeant styled lessons I grew up with. Not only do the teachers know you can learn to play- they adapt their teaching to your learning style.” – Deborah Johnston

β€œMy biggest concern about taking piano lessons was that I wasn’t good enough. While I do tend to be hard on myself, I grew so much in so little time that this statement (concern) seems ridiculous. I am proud of the effect of lessons from Bartell Music Academy on my piano skills.” – Jack Bross

I highly recommend this place for anyone who wants to receive fun, simple, and rewarding music lessons.” – Maya Phipps

β€œMy favorite part of my lessons is the speed in which I’m learning to play, I could play a song the very first week and add something every lesson.” – Kelly Corson

β€œLarge-group school music programs left my girls feeling lost, and their enthusiasm for music faltered. Bartell Music Academy’s innovative approach jumped immediately into the joy of making beautiful music.
