My nephew Cameron does guitar lessons with Tommy. He really loves it. Tommy does a great job. Really happy we chose here and got Tommy.
I love music. I love concerts. I always imagined myself as a musician, but failed at piano and guitar previously. At School of Rock, their approach worked!
In three months, i went from never having played the drums … to I can play solid basic beats over the whole kit l. Our beginner band even performed a public mini-gig with an audience at a local bistro. A fantastic experience.
Teachers so talented and patient with me. Great equipment to practice on too. Everyone is chill and really supportive. Weekly private lessons and a separate group/band session with other players learning instruments too…awesome and the key to getting better.
Shout outs to my teachers Mandy, Matt and Jordan and owners Jon and Sarah. They are the best.
This place is truly special in terms of learning music in a non traditional way! The owners, Jon and Sarah, really go all out for both their staff and students! I’ve seen kids run to their parents in excitement when wanting to sign up while learning high levels of music theory and note reading. It’s really amazing!

Both of my kids have been going to School of Rock for over a year and absolutely love it! There has never been a day when they don’t want to go. The instructors do a great job making it fun yet educational and my kids love being able to choose the songs they want to learn. I’ve recommended School of Rock to close friends (that have also loved it) and I will continue to recommend them to anyone looking for a great music school.
School Of Rock on Jackson is an amazing establishment. You will be greeted by a warm smile every time and you will have professional instructors. Your lesson will be tailored to your needs and interests. I love School of Rock!
Great place learn to play music. Very nice and helpful staff and owners.
Lame and bad business practices. 🙁
School of Rock
Address: 2505 Burton St SE, Grand Rapids, MI 49546 , Machulishchy , Michigan , United States
My daughter has been a student with School of Rock, Canton since it opened in 10/2019. She loves the private lessons and group band practices. The best time of all is performing gigs out with the band. She has grown as a musician, singer and performer in a very short time. As a mom, I really appreciate the good people who teach and run the business at School of Rock Canton.
So excited SoR came to Canton! Love the vibe of the place and how passionate the staff is!
I was truly amazed of how my 9 year-old boy was able to go from zero knowledge of playing a keyboard to performing in front of an audience in a very short time. They have outstanding teachers and staff that are very professional plus motivate them and help them shake off first time stage-fright jitters.
Thanks, Chris! I’m thankful that Canton has the best School of Rock
They were super kind and accommodating but my child seemed to plateau in the rookies class. I fished for information on moving him forward and never got any real answers as to why he wasn’t ready for one on one lessons with one instrument as the focus.
They also restaffed the front desk and the new person doesn’t really know what they are doing. They also double charged me and more or less called me a liar when I informed them of it. I had to provide bank statements showing the double charge because they didn’t believe me. It was really bad customer service. Never got an apology for the double charge.
Between the lack of information and progress and the double charge I ended up ending our contract with them. Which was really sad because like I said they were super nice. Only reason they didn’t get 1 star was for John and Lorelei.
The Detroit School of Rock and Pop Music®

I have personally played gigs with many teenagers who came out of this program and they play like professionals, with top-notch proficiency and excellent attitudes! I recommend this place more than any other in the Metro Detroit area!
in love.
I been going here for almost 2 months and it just feels so familiar and new and exciting every visit. I have improved in my vocals so much thanks to my teacher Sherry! she’s so enthusiastic, kind, passionate, and educated on her crafts. I am someone with HUGE anxiety but I am telling you coming here you will not feel that sense. I’ve already improved so much it’s honestly scary. Sad that it’s once a week and 30 minute sessions but that’s totally acceptable and appropriate but it’s honestly so dope you’d wanna be here 24/7 cause you learn and have fun at the same time. Covid-19 protocols are in place and safe staff are vaccinated and wear masks. While singing with Sherry we both maintain distance as much as possible and wear clear face shields they have plenty provided as well due to being able to see vocal technique and to hear clearly) so that is not a worry. Not to mention it is a clean space and is affordable for families. I love it here
I’ve been a local on & off gigging musician for 35 yrs & didn’t know this place ever existed!! I’m glad it’s here!!!
Blue Lake Fine Arts Camp
Address: 300 E Crystal Lake Rd, Twin Lake, MI 49457 , Machulishchy , Michigan , United States
Purchased tickets for Saturday night performance. Very friendly and professional. Busy place. Nice to see expansion is coming along.
Sing thy praises MSU! Go Green!
If you’ve never been to a MSU College of music concert thou are missing OUT!
Undergoing a lot of updates and expansion. The facilities are out of date and all need a big update. May increase score to a 5 when the refurb and expansion is complete. The programs they offer are great but like all schools the program you want may or may not be what you want.
My Fiance goes here and it seems like her masters program is top notch.
This is one of the older, traditional buildings in the old part of the Campus. Mostly office and rehearsal spaces, but Cook Recital Hall is the scene of a lot of student and faculty performances.
My experience with the admissions department was very frustrating and disappointing. I auditioned for the Woodwind Specialist MM program. I received a letter from the graduate school at Michigan State saying I was admitted. I even received the same letter in snail mail. A week later I received a letter from the music department saying that I wasn’t admitted for the Woodwind Specialist program, but they would admit me for the clarinet performance MM if I desired. When I called asking why I received the first letter from the graduate school, the man seemed confused and said I [didn’t] receive a letter because it wasn’t in the records. Why would I make up receiving a letter that I was admitted? He reiterated their policy that the letter from the music department comes first. I said that obviously, their letter had NOT come first. When I emailed a copy of the letter I received from the graduate school saying I was admitted to both the associate director and the director, I received NO response. My problem was NOT with the faculty’s decision. My problem is with the administrative issues. It does not speak highly of the university and does not motivate me to spend 30K on tuition. Simple empathy or an apology of some sort would have gone a long way. Instead, I am sadly writing this Google review to tell you about my experience.
Community Music School
Address: 4930 Hagadorn Rd, East Lansing, MI 48823 , Machulishchy , Michigan , United States
Excellent staff. Easy to make appointment for sessions. Clean & warm environment.
I absolutely love teaching here. A great environment for both kids and adults. Our desk girl/secretary Kala is absolutely awesome. Our owner Henry is a very kind and good man. I am proud to teach here and highly recommend all of our staff to work with you or your kids. The efficiency with which both Henry and Kala manage to run this place is unprecedented.
This is really comfortable place to learn music. Great people, nice environment, and they have music together for young children. Just love it. Look out for the meters in front during the day though, the city issues tickets a little too easily. I know the music studio has asked the city to be gentle on their clients.
My kids have been taking music lessons for few years now at Grosse Pointe Music Academy. Since then my wife and I have noticed improvements with their musical performance and self confidence. Thanks and Great job!
I attempted to take singing lessons here. Unfortunately, on the day my lesson was scheduled, there was a power outage, so it was postpones. Now obviously this was out of their control, but they told me that they would call to reschedule and never did. We attempted to contact them numerous times about it, and they never got back to us.
The lessons could be the best in the city, but if they’re this difficult to work with…
Interlochen Center for the Arts
Address: 4000 J. Maddy Pkwy, Interlochen, MI 49643 , Machulishchy , Michigan , United States
Went to a concert at Corson Auditorium with the Interlochen Adult Band directed by Tom Riccobono. Excellent concert and what a terrific experience.
Incredibly magical experiences during my years attending the 6-week summer camp. I learned so much through the intense program.
It gave me so much courage and confidence every time I sang, danced & acted.
Saw Harry Connick Jr- Amazing show – beautiful venue. Will definitely be back!
Far from perfect but a great arts camp overall
I like extra butter…. No arcade though
Nice summer camp! Great concerts! The only thing is I have very limited cellular service on campus. WIFi on campus is also not great.
So when I booked it only had one picture of the lake and a deck which was nice. When we got there it is actually located in a summer school academy which I thought was a little weird. The room was small and looked like an old college dormitory. The bathroom was very small and outdated. The shower did not drain well. I almost fell on to the toilet because it was so low to the ground. However the good part of the hotel was the short walk down to the lake where you could sit on a deck, which there were multiple ones and relax. I don’t think I will stay here again as it is not the environment that I expected for a hotel.
So sad. No students. No programs. Like a ghost town.
Racist school that thinks poor students are disposable. Went to school there my freshman and sophomore year. One red-headed individual reported me to the Dean for acknowledging whiteness in a conversation and the history of enslaved peoples on existing racism at the time, and I was penalized after a week of no one explaining why I was in trouble.
Canton Music Academy
Address: 5880 N Canton Center Rd #425, Canton, MI 48187 , Machulishchy , Michigan , United States
My grandchildren are attending the Music Together program and it is a fun and carefree approach to introducing music to little ones. They sing, dance and play to a variety of songs that encourage a love for music in and out of the studio.
From the day I considered enrolling my kids, to 4 years later, the Grosse Pointe Music Academy has always been flexible and willing to accomodate my needs as a parent of 4 children at different levels of training, and to best work my busy life. Caitlyn is a superstar, who runs the office and my kids absolutely adore. She always has something to keep them busy while the others are taking their instructional course. And the instructors are loved by my kids. Not only the instructors excellent at their instrument, but they are great with kids. I think my kids actually enjoy spending time with the people there, as much as the piano lessons. And listening to my kids play piano at home is so calming and peaceful. Money well spent.
The music teachers at Canton Music Academy are great with the kids. My son enjoys every second of class with his guitar instructor. The teachers are knowledgeable and qualified. everyone there bends over backwards to make the experience complete.
It was nice the guitar teacher was knowledgeable and kind. Check it out if kids want music lessions
The secretary it’s not friendly at all.
Birch Creek Music Performance Center
Address: 3821 County Highway E, Egg Harbor, WI 54209 , Machulishchy , Michigan , United States
I’m so very happy Dixboro music academy is now open! Great teachers and professional staff. I couldn’t be happier
Good experience at Dixboro music. Super convenient to schedule different options for music lessons for my daughter. Easy to reschedule. Owner is very accommodating, friendly, and organized.
Only stopped in for a drink but the place is beautiful and this paloma was amazing. Staff was very friendly and attentive. Hope to go back and try dinner soon!
Interlochen Scholarshop
Address: 4000 M-137, Interlochen, MI 49643 , Machulishchy , Michigan , United States
The Scholarshop at Interlochen is great, whether you’re looking for that last item your student forgot to tell you they needed for the school year or wanting to pick up a window sticker and tee shirt to let everyone know you’re spending almost the GNP of the Faroe Islands for your students’ high school education!
They have lots of everyday items that your student will need and often run out of before letting you know or remembering to pick up for themselves, when in town, which is why the Scholarshop stocks them. There is also a section for food that the students like to indulge in, a decent section of school books, a tech section to grab a new cable from and a small area for students to hang out in.
The Scholarshop is also where you will be able to access the Interlochen Box Office and Melody Freeze during the Winter months, which is much saner than standing outside during a blizzard trying to purchase an ice cream cone or tickets for the upcoming show…
All in all, the Scholarshop is a perfect blend of necessity, convenience and indulgence all stuffed into a cozy space on campus and ready for students and parents to grab whatever it is they find a need for. Stop in the next time you’re on campus and I bet you walk out with something.
If you’ve never been to Interlochen or know itd history and what it represents….you have my pity!
They got everything
Very nice and unique. I wish I would have bought the coffee mug that said “# is a sharp not a hashtag”
Beautiful campus with woods, lake and state park. Caring, kind staff. Cabins, dorms, amphitheatres, multiple auditoriums. Convenient parking including handicap.
I get an employee discount there.

Michigan State University
Address: East Lansing, MI , Machulishchy , Michigan , United States
Thanks for every thing Michigan University I love you
Going to Mi state for Dr.
It took 45 minutes to get a bus ticket from the tailgating parking lot on Farm Lane. It took 30 minutes to get into the stadium because of the long lines.
Great place to get a degree, but the tuition, like all big colleges is high.
Pigs!
Shame on MSU for enabling a monster to sexually abuse women for decades. Shame for not investigating this sooner and properly.
There will be consequences for failure to act sooner.
These women will not be silenced or shamed any longer.
FIRE your President. She needs to be held accountable for her actions in the Nassar scandal!!! Stop degrading this University more by letting her keep her job!!! Stand up for what’s right!
