Children's Music Academy of Parker - Parker, Colorado

My daughter is in her 2nd year at CMA and we LOVE this program. I am so glad a friend shared it with us. I am also not experienced in music and in attending with my daughter, I’ve learned so much myself. The program is awesome and I have seen my daughter grow so much. The pace is fast and the practice is necessary. Ms Kasey is so knowledgeable, her passion for music and teaching is amazing. I’m so impress by what my daughter has learned and how well she plays. It has been a commitment for sure, but absolutely worth it. We have also done classes with Ms. Totah for my son and she is equally fantastic! If you want to seriously learn music and learn it well, I highly recommend this program and these two amazing teachers!

My daughter has been in the CMA music program since she was 6. I participate in the classes with her and I must say we have both grown to love the school, Mrs Kasey, and the program, more and more with each class. I am beyond amazed at how Mrs Kasey sneaks in music lessons without the children realizing they are learning. All the children are advancing very quickly, not just in a single instrument, but in music. My daughter (now 7) refuses to skip a class for any reason, and truly enjoys practicing piano. We couldn’t be happier at CMA and plan on staying with the school as long as possible.

I love this music school. Best price in the market! My kids have been here for 6 years. They learned so much more than just playing songs. By year 5, they learned theory that equivalent to the college level. They learned how to write songs, played ensemble, and played songs (both classical and market songs). The teachers give out so many prizes weekly to encourage students to keep up with home fun (homework) and class activities.

My family loves Children's Music Academy Parker! I have had at least one child enrolled for almost the last 10 years. My children have learned so much about music (and so have I), but they have also gained confidence, self discipline and perseverance. Because of the program's group format, my children have learned confidence to perform for their peers. Most importantly, my kids have gained a love for music that will last their lifetimes.

Children's Music Academy has made the biggest and best difference in our home! The program is excellent and the teachers are excellent. It is worth every penny and beneficial to the whole family! We love CMA!

While we believe in the CMA curriculum, our teacher (who runs this facility), has demonstrated unprofessional conduct on a number of occasions. During COVID when everyone was online, she reluctantly offered online classes, and made it very clear that she did not want to be doing online classes. She did not require masks when kids couldn’t be vaccinated and the CDC recommended them and all schools were using them, and during hybrid classes, she consistently made comments that shamed the families that chose to participate online, though that was the only safe option at that time. I did bring up this concern to CMA but got no response or reply at all.

In our last month of attending, she failed to show up to class on a couple of occasions. When we showed up, the other teacher said she had a conflict but she never told us and never followed up with all of us that showed up (several families). She didn’t even reply to our emails.

She didn’t manage class time well so the kids were not well prepared for recital and during recital, she played so loud that you couldn’t actually hear the kids playing.

She combined classes without any input or discussion, and scheduled things such as make-up classes at times when we couldn’t go, even though we had already paid. It became a poor investment for our family because she does not seem to care about whether you actually get the in-person time that you paid for.
You pay month or yearly, regardless of whether or not you actually get the opportunity to participate at the agreed upon time.

I would highly recommend getting the CMA curriculum from another location.

If you have a bright 6 year old you should seriously look into Children's Music Academy. This is an exceptional way to teach children the language of music at the age they will most internalize. The kids think they are having fun they don't realize they are learning piano, music theroy, playing by ear and in some cases perfect pitch.

Wonderful piano teachers, cariculum is perfect for young ones to learn both by site and ear.
