Your Top-8 list of music camp in Aurora

Amazing crew! My daughter had been going here for a year or so, and she absolutely love it! The teachers are fantastic and incredibly talented. Would recommend CMI to everyone!

Teachers are great, staff is great! Pricing is fair and this business is up on their technology! My son and I both take lessons here!

Very safe and COVID-19 conscious (masks and sanitizer everywhere, etc). Great effective people and teachers/staff.

Great teachers at a great environment.

Teachers rotate often, so it is difficult for kids to build a connection.

This overall has been a positive experience for my daughter. Wish they guided you more to explore more than one discipline. And the price increase was not favorable but the quality of the teacher my daughter sees must be worth it!

This place is great if you have the right teacher, I would have loved to give it a higher review. We’ve had so many issues with communication, our teacher not showing up and just lack-luster lessons in general. My son was supposed to perform at one of their recitals accompanied by his teacher and the instructor left him high and dry even after we told him what time we would be performing, that we would be rescheduling lessons because of sports and a whole host of other things. Very dissatisfied with their lack of timeliness, lack of efficient communication between instructors and the rest of the staff setting up their schedule. Pulled my son out after he said it stopped being fun because he was let down by his teacher one too many times.

Let me preface this by saying everything noted here is a personal experience and your mileage may vary, clearly this is not a regular occurrence as their reviews are traditionally positive. Onto my situation; I had an instructor assigned named Quentin for learning Cello as an adult beginner. We did four lessons together, following I missed an appointment due to a family emergency. I apologized and told the instructor they could have the payment as if I attended (I was very distracted and didn’t notify Quentin that day). However I was ghosted from my instructor (we communicated via SMS) and I felt this situation wasn’t handled professionally. So I forfeit the rest of my paid lessons and stopped lessons. I may try another Cello instructor in the future, if successful I will change my review.

so many reasons, first we went there after No seeing a special offer on fb which said first month will be $35 off… (before you judge- i am a student with kids, and every penny counts) which we never got even after following up the next month on this. only answer they gave was, will get back to you after talking to manager.
then they have weird policies. You cannot discontinue with them if you are not calling them before 15th of the month. Even if you are moving out of town. I am being given an option to take makeups which do not work. Other option is I can gift to someone, really?
Their make ups dont work cause the teacher is very busy, I have two makes ups and so far but only 15 minutes have been given as an extra beyond the 30 mins regular class. I have followed up with teacher multiple times and surrendered after that.

Edited to add on 7/24
1. I never threatened your staff that i would leave bad review. I said I didn’t have good experience and i am unhappy about it. Perhaps you understood correctly that I will leave a bad review, which you were so right.
2. The free class was a trial class which you should not boast around here.
3. your facebook ad never said that it won’t be combined with referral. Your staff was supposed to get to me after checking with manager, which never happened.
4 . what about the never given make up classes i am unhappy about and following up with teacher since april? do you have s story to tell on that too, if not please come up with one. let the public know how good a storyteller you guys are.
5. I never checked with my friend if he got $25, perhaps I should check that too.
6. what about considering a special request coz I have to move out pretty soon from here. How can we take these make ups considering 45 mins of 2 make ups are pending since april and may after multiple follow ups.

take it with a pich if salt and improve on points where you can inprove rather than attacking me with false allegations.

The best thing we have done for our son was to get him involved in SOR. ALL of the instructors are amazing, talented, passionate, upbeat and encouraging to the kids and I couldn’t say enough good things about this school. My son has totally blossomed and is now confident on stage (and all around) in just a short amount of time of him being there. The community is also supportive and fun and my son has made some amazing new friends. Would highly recommend!!

The staff are wonderful and keep my son motivated. The progress my child has made in one year is impressive.

Alex is an amazing general manager for this school. When you walk into the school the enthusiasm for the kids and for rock n roll and music is contagious. It is indeed the happiest place to be in a regular basis. Allison as well handles herself with such poise and kindness, she always puts families and kids first and responds to parents in a way that makes us feel that we are the most important part of the school. All concerts are so well done! All venues are selected with the adventure of the stage in mind and everything is first class even down to the timing of all shows. We are so grateful to have found this school. It has changed my sons life and our family’s life in an incredible way!

We have had a horrible experience with their remote online lessons. We signed up two kids (one keyboard and one guitar) and have given it almost 2 months of time, in which, they have yet to learn or be given a single song to practice. We have never been sent a copy of the Method book either. Every week the instructors get on and tell them to practice chords and scales but don’t assign any music in which they could practice chords and scales within. We have reached out to the school numerous times to try to work through these as we know we are all struggling to adapt to the CoVid 19 world but week after week, no changes are made. This is a total waste of money for beginners. The school does not deliver the services for the money you pay.
