 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Took piano lessons with Dean and my wife took violin lessons with Charlotte: Both were amazing teachers - super patient with adult learners, and very flexible in learning paths. Staff were always polite and helpful.  Would recommend to anyone looking to add music to their life!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This place is as nice as they are professional. They actually care about the kids who come in to learn music. I would say their primary goal is to help kids learn music and their secondary is about earning a living. I don't know if you know this but usually businesses don't give a shit about the first part and they are all about the money. Not here. This is an A+ place. I'm not an easy sell either. Neither are my kids because they couldn't get into it at different places they went for music lessons. Then we came here and the rest is history. They love it

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We have been at the Grosse Pointe Music Academy for about 2 years now.  My family has had lessons in saxophone, drums, and piano.  We have a great experience with them and have seen my advance in her skills with Mr. Dean.  He is always there for his lessons and works well with my daughter.
