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.
Love this place from the owners to the instructors
My 13 year old daughter loves it here! She is guitarist and has been playing/taking lessons for 9 years.
When the studio opened, we thought it’d be a great place for her to grow her knowledge of music. She did a songwriting summer camp and really loved it. Since then, her interest in music has expanded exponentially. She takes guitar and drum lessons here, and also takes performance band (which is seriously the coolest concept ever).
I attribute her passion to the warm, welcoming, and safe environment the owners and teachers have cultivated here. The teachers provide nearly instant feedback when a lesson is finished. The end of the term performances are so fun – it is so amazing to watch the kids learn how to perform fun songs for an audience!
If your kiddo is interested in music, this is the place to be!

Great place learn to play music. Very nice and helpful staff and owners.
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!
Lame and bad business practices. 🙁
School of Rock
Address: 5810 Sheldon Rd, Canton, MI 48187 , Smalyavitski Rayon , Michigan , United States
Everyone here is so welcoming here! I was able to sign up for a trial lesson with the general manager Josh. When I arrived I was warmly greeted by Samantha who gave us a tour of the newly renovated facility. Our lesson was with Scott and he left a lastly impression on my child. I would definitely recommend checking them out.
School of Rock GR has been fantastic for our preschooler. He especially enjoys his instructor always looks forward to attending weekly classes. Mr. Connor does a brilliant job engaging and (re)directing a room full of energetic kids. He and all of staff are so kind, enthusiastic, and clearly passionate about music which is reflected in the way they interact with the students. We really appreciated the opportunity to do a trial lesson before starting classes, it was a great chance to check out the curriculum; the levels and structure of which are really thoughtfully tailored to age and skill level. Certainly for our kiddo it is both challenging and fun and we’ve already seen the impacts of what he’s been picking up in class. We look forward to continuing here as he progresses.
Great atmosphere, the staff really seem to care about music and their students. The Little Wings program is awesome and run by very cool teachers.
Kid has taken a few classes here and has enjoyed them all.
The new Community Music School building is well organized, and the design of the place is colorful and welcoming. It provides good music lessons and a place to practice on percussion instruments. The percussion studio is also much improved.
Great local music school that has private (Suzuki) lessons for violin, piano, winds, etc
Pretty limited parking here, but the Ten Pound Fiddle puts on great concerts here.
It is horibl
Small space, good show

If you’ve never been to a MSU College of music concert thou are missing OUT!
Great community. Even better musical instruction. Barrier-free entrances & parking.
Go Green!
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.
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 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.

Grosse Pointe Music Academy in Canton is great for music lessons. Our 10 year old daughter has been going there for a couple years. She is learning to play guitar and loves it. Her instructor, Jon, is excellent and brings enthusiasm when he teaches. We also enjoy working with Katelynn the office manager. The staff is very friendly and accommodating. We highly recommend Grosse Pointe Music Academy for music lessons of any kind.
We found GPMA about two years ago. After receiving our free, no-strings-attached guitar lesson, we were hooked! Everything about this place exuded a feel of warmth and professionalism right from the start. Both my daughters take guitar and piano lessons here, and we couldn’t be happier. The instructors invest in getting to know their students, and they make learning how to play an instrument fun. The receptionist is extremely friendly and keeps the place welcoming and organized. The location is also very convenient. I would highly recommend this place to anyone who not only wants to learn music, but who also wants to love music as well.
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.
GROSSE POINTE MUSIC ACADEMY
Address: 19443 Mack Ave, Grosse Pointe Woods, MI 48236 , Smalyavitski Rayon , Michigan , United States
Excellent staff. Easy to make appointment for sessions. Clean & warm environment.
I take my girls for Piano lessons and my son for Drum lessons. Their teachers are so nice and patient. Grosse Pointe music Academy is an amazing place to take your children music lessons. Everyone is so nice and helpful with everything. Love this place and I highly recommend it.
My family has had a wonderful experience with the hummingbird music together class. My children 2 &1 have a new appreciation for beats and love going to class. I would recommend for all ages!!!
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 , Smalyavitski Rayon , 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.
Going to see Momic: Botanica. Very excited. Great map google!
Beautiful facility for a graduation.
I like extra butter…. No arcade though
This is a fine Campground to camp at. Plenty of sites available and nice proximity to Downtown Traverse City. Don’t forget to stop at Bud’s down the Road!
Nice summer camp! Great concerts! The only thing is I have very limited cellular service on campus. WIFi on campus is also not great.
I just don’t want my friend to go live so far away
Was here for Summer Camp as a part of the Creative Writing Program. The cabins were incredibly outdated and dirty (the bathrooms inside the cabins were constantly prone to flooding and were the dirtiest places I had ever been in). Luckily, many of the main campus facilities were much cleaner. The classes were also very enjoyable and were a good place to meet likeminded peers. The living conditions, however, were so atrocious that they took away from the overall experience. The only other thing of note is the school mascot being “The Fighting Blueberries”, which is hilarious. Overall, programs and courses are good, but cabins should be updated.
So sad. No students. No programs. Like a ghost town.
The J-RO School of Music
Address: 4084 John R Rd, Troy, MI 48085 , Smalyavitski Rayon , Michigan , United States
My daughter takes voice lessons with Josh. He is great with the kids and we have noticed a huge difference since she started. He is very easy to work with on scheduling and finances! We love Josh!! Highly recommend him!
My son Loves his voice and guitar lessons with J-RO! He gets plenty of individual attention in the group sessions and comes out with the biggest smile on his face. I would highly recommend J-RO for anyone wanting to learn or improve their musical skills!
My daughter and I just started lessons at the J-RO School of Music, and I can already hear and feel a difference in our voices. I highly recommend this school and all the teachers there!
Classes are good but sometimes you can’t hear yourself even with the headphones as some instrumentalist will be playing acoustic instruments
We’ve been attending for several months now, underwhelmed by our child’s progress. Appears to be partially attributable to poor management
Dixboro Music Academy
Address: 5155 Plymouth Rd, Ann Arbor, MI 48105 , Smalyavitski Rayon , Michigan , United States
I’m so very happy Dixboro music academy is now open! Great teachers and professional staff. I couldn’t be happier
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!
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.
Interlochen Scholarshop
Address: 4000 M-137, Interlochen, MI 49643 , Smalyavitski Rayon , Michigan , United States
If you’ve never been to Interlochen or know itd history and what it represents….you have my pity!
Coocoo
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.
Very nice and unique. I wish I would have bought the coffee mug that said “# is a sharp not a hashtag”
Good for getting what you need on camp
Nice little store. Has all the necessities for a summer of arts camp. I wish the apparel selection was a bit more up to date, but overall the shop serves its purpose.
Village SDA Elementary School
Address: 409 W Mars St, Berrien Springs, MI 49103 , Smalyavitski Rayon , Michigan , United States
Took in the Fall with a tour with a friend. Beautiful campus!
I use to love Michigan better yet mason & Lansing. I remember when all there was to really do in E L on a Friday night ( if u wasn’t 21) was to shoot pool an play games at pinball Pete’s.
Big beautiful campus and a great place to work or study.
I was wondering why you dont expel or report rapists at your school
As a student with a disability, I can’t wait to be done at MSU. I have nothing nice to say about the school or most of its people. I used to be so excited at the idea of going here, now I don’t even think this place should be in business bc of the injustice it does to their students. I’ve never felt such discrimination and poor treatment in my life. Everything is all about getting as much money as they possibly can from you, whether it’s through tuition, unjustified vehicle towing/tickets, hidden fees, etc. The second they get your dollar, they couldn’t care less about making sure you succeed as a student. No one wants to do anything in a timely manner, be held accountable for their negligence or go out of their way to ensure the right thing is being done. I can only imagine the number of people that had to quit trying to get an education bc of the institution’s mistakes. But we should all appreciate the $10 million scoreboard they put in the stadium?! MSU is a disgrace to educational institutions.
They allow a graduate student who did not follow IACUC approved protocol to graduate with a Master’s Degree (Kate Steensma Fall 2012). By her not following the approved protocol, the cows were starved and had severe consequences to their health.
