My children especially my oldest daughter has been a student of Conway Institute of Music for 5 years. They offer the best instructors for all instruments. They work hard to listen to the parents and the children in their music choices from playing rock or country to doing more classical or jazz. We have taken multiple lessons from multiple teachers and have yet to meet an instructor who is not well-versed in what they are teaching or finding the best way to teach each child individually in the best way that they learn. Please consider them for all your music needs.
Our 11 year old, Lucas, took viola lessons for almost a year and a half with Cory Abbott before our recent military move away from the area. Lucas loved taking lessons and has learned so much. He learned to read music and played in 2 recitals. Cory is a great instructor…very down to earth. He played along with Lucas on occasion, which Lucas loved. My husband and I were always welcome to sit in on lessons. Lucas left every lesson with a smile and is still practicing every day as we look for a new instructor in the DC area. The atmosphere at the Conway Institute of Music is great and all the staff members are very friendly. The make-up lesson policy is very convenient. I highly recommend the Conway Institute of Music, and especially Cory Abbott, for viola and violin lessons. Thanks for everything, Jim! -Rose
I’ve been teaching at the Institute for 6 months and it’s the best job I’ve ever had. I really enjoy teaching music here and the other teachers I work with are friendly, professional, and extremely talented. Jim (the owner) works tirelessly to make our jobs as easy as possible. If you’re interested in music, I strongly recommend coming to see us!
