Nice, knowledgeable and patient staff. Went to rent a violin. It is in good condition. They have plenty of musical resources which can be bought.
My son took music lessons here for both drums and guitar. Friendly staff and good instruction. I would highly recommend Eric Denton for guitar instruction.
My kids enjoy learning music from the great teachers here so much. As I watch them growing in music, I greatly appreciate that we have a nice music school near by! The front desk lady, Ms. Carmen is a wonderful lady who makes every visit so pleasant.
Emily is a wonderful and extremely patient instructor!
I take lessons here and my daughter rents two instruments for school. They staff is all lovely. Highly recommend.Troy Lucia, the piano teacher is great too!
I have two children who have taken piano lessons from Rick Smith. The quality of the lessons, care for my children’s needs, and professionalism of not only our teacher but also the company make this school stand out! Rick incorporates what they need to learn with what they WANT to play which makes practicing fun for them!
Needed some childrens violins for a charitable function and New School of Music was more than happy to help me!! I have recommended them many times for music lessons and have gotten rave reviews from parents about their teachers and operation. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for high quality teachers or instruments for themselves or for children.
I enrolled my daughter in piano lessons 2 years ago as a 6 year old. She had never taken formal lessons before and we were looking for a good fit. She began taking lessons under Rick Smith and it has been one of the best decisions for her personal growth. He has been so patient with her from day 1, encouraging her every week to do her very best, and supports her progress and successes. I have seen her grow, not just as a musician, but as an individual. She has such great self confidence and is so proud of herself when she gets a good report from Mr Rick. He encourages her to do her very best, and he stays so involved with her. Her lesson is really the highlight of her week. We are so grateful for NSM Buford and Mr Rick and plan on staying customers and clients for years to come. I recommend them to all of my friends and family looking for a music studio.
I chose New School of Music for my granddaughters guitar lessons because of their talented and educated staff and their reasonable cost. She has been taking lessons from Mr. Bjorn Anderson for over a year now. Bjorn is great with kids and instills his love of music in them.
The New School of Music is fantastic, they have friendly staff and the best teachers. I had the best experience of having Yelena Ayzenburg as my piano teacher. She is very creative and passionate. I trust her work and her advise completely. She was so patient with me and had some very unique techniques. I learned so much from her in a short period of time. Her work with me has been outstanding and I highly recommend her as a piano teacher.
About 8 years ago, I started taking voice lessons with Rick Smith, co-owner. In more recent years, I have added piano (intermittently) with Rick and violin with Anne Anderson. Two years ago I enrolled my two young granddaughters in piano lessons with Rick. I could go to other music stores much closer, but I choose to drive a pretty long distance for my granddaughters and my lessons because I feel that Rick is incomparable as a music teacher as well as the way NSM Buford is operated. Carmen, the general manager, will do back flips to make sure the customers are happy. It just doesnt get any better!
My son has been taking guitar lessons from John Pagano for a couple of years now. John is an amazing teacher, and very patient with my son (even when he doesnt practice as much as he should!) I would recommend John to everyone who wants to learn how to play music! Now my son doesnt even have to be reminded to practice, he just picks up the guitar and plays for fun!
Great, convenient location and the folks are very nice. My son has taken trumpet lessons there all school year and Don Gardo has been a great teacher for him. I was even able to get my 35 year old trumpet re-conditioned there.
I have been taking voice lessons with Billy Valentine for over a year. He is fantastic and I always look forward to the lessons. He makes it fun and comfortable to learn.
We love new school of music! Both my boys are enrolled in guitar lessons with John Pagano. They have progressed nicely and they look forward to every lesson!The staff is friendly and always willing to help out!!
I have been taking piano lessons at New School of Music for many years. The staff has always been very helpful. I feel like I have learned a lot from my instructor, Rick Smith. I would recommend New School of Music to anyone . Its been a wonderful experience!
I have taught piano for many years at quite a few establishments. My time teaching at New School of Music Buford has been altogether the best experience of my teaching career. Rick Smith and Robert Trocina are the best--they really care about students, but they also really care about me as a teacher. That is rare in music schools these days!
I have one in piano with Mr. Zane and one in drums with Mr. Adam. The kids get a great mix of technique and fun. Adorable and easy going FREE recitals for all ages and skill sets so we have no complaints at all.
I never thought I could improve so much in such a short amount of time! Ive been taking voice lessons with Billy Valentine and Im having a blast and learning so much. The staff here, apart from the instructors, are also very friendly and knowledgeable. This is my first experience with private voice lessons and Im glad I chose New School of Music!
Pay close attention to their 24/hr notice cancellation policy. They have a lot of students and when people cancel at the last minute it causes their system to break down. Carmen, the director for the classes and I had a miscommunication but it was cleared up. The instructor for my son is good. She takes her time with him and she’s patient.
Both of my kids take viola lessons at New school of Music with Ms. Cortney Whiting and they learn a lot from their instructor. She is a great teacher. Wonderful Staffs and convenience location.
I have been teaching at New School of Music for over 7 years and they are such a great company. They genuinely care about their students and teachers. I am proud to work with the company.
Ive been coming here for volcal lessons with Billy Valentine for about a year now and Ive got to say, its been great I look forward to the lessons every week. Billy is an amazing instructor, and look forward to learning from him for years to come. Seriously I happy I decided to continue my musical journey through here. Thanks New School of Music.
Great instructors - we currently have our daughter in banjo lessons with Zane, who is an amazing teacher. Also had another daughter in guitar and french horn and without exception, all instructors were outstanding.
We have had a great experience with New School of Music. Everyone there is very nice. My youngest son takes trombone lessons with Don Gardo and he has been fantastic! My oldest son and husband take guitar lessons with Eric Denton and he is really great! We highly recommend both!
I have been a student of New School of Music since I was 11yo. The teachers are awesome! They have inspired me to be the best musician and person I can be. Thank you, NSM!
We have two children (previously three) enrolled at the New School of Music, Buford Highway location for several years. As children we did not have the same opportunity to take formal music lessons ourselves, but as adults we knew that research has demonstrated that music training has long-term positive impact on children in many areas, e.g., verbal, cognitive, and critical thinking skills. It also has lifelong positive social and behavioral impact. We truly appreciate the above-and-beyond efforts by NSM to instill the love of music in our children and the flexibility to accommodate our family (and other families) schedules.
I have been a student at NSM since I was 17 years old. 10 years later and I came back for more lessons. I am currently taking violin lessons from Anne Anderson, who is an amazing violinist and great teacher. Shes very passionate about music and understanding when I have had little practice time. I have a crazy schedule and I am able to work it out where I can be the last lesson of the day. Mrs. Carmen, who is the front desk receptionist and handles the scheduling, is really sweet and will go above and beyond to make sure the customers leave happy. Highly recommend NSM and the teachers that teach here!
Throughout the time my son has attended the school, his skill set has improved tremendously as well as his confidence and his musical inclinations. Fausto Ojito is patient, encouraging, energetic and adapts his teaching style to my son’s needs. I highly recommend this school to anyone - parent or kid - starting their journey in music.
I purchased lessons here for my wife and son as a Christmas present for them to begin this month with high hopes. We show up for their first lesson, and are told neither of their instructors are there. One supposedly tried to contact us the day before to cancel, but I never got a phone call. We were told they had no idea why the other hadnt shown up. Nothing was done to rectify the situation, but rather the person in charge just told us repeatedly it was out of her hands and the instructors fault. Very disappointed.
Signed out 9 year old up for violin lessons with Cortney Whiting, absolutely awesome lady!! Love the school and the store attached Ms. Carmin is the best and super sweet! Lessons are weekly and Cortney has let our daughter progress and develop at pace our daughter has been comfortable and it has been lightning fast! We have really enjoyed our time at the school and look forward to continued lessons with Cortney! Anyome looking for a place for music lessons should definitely stop by and talk with the lovely people at The Buford New School of Music! If you want voilin, voice or viola Cortney is the absolute best lady!! Cant say enough good things about her!
My son takes trumpet lessons with Mr. Gardo. He has done a great job and my son has improved tremendously. Mr. Gardo is great about sending the lesson schedule for each month and has worked with us to reschedule when needed.
This is the number one music school in North east Atlanta. Our teacher Angela Anzai, is so patient with both of my children. They have learned to love lessons and I dont have to coax them into practicing at home. If you are looking to choose a music school, choose this one!!!
New School of Music is both a music store and a music school offering lessons on all instruments and voice at multiple locations - it is well-run, a friendly and knowledgeable staff, Instrument repair, and excellent faculty.
My son takes guitar lessons with professor Fausto, he is excellent with kids and very patient. Fausto is also bilingual and we love that our son gets to practice Spanish at the same time.
I really love the teachers at New School of Music. Each one is unique and can provide something different to each student. Ive learned so much in such a short period of time. They really have the best of the best teaching there.
Amazing customer service offering top quality products and dedicated staff and instructors who help their students realize their passion as well as potential.
My son started band and we wanted to add to that. Mr. Robert has been really helpful My son is really enjoying lessons and is doing well!
My son took trumpet lessons from Robert Trocina, one of the owners of NSM, and it was a great experience! He loved the lessons and learned so much! Everyone was very helpful and nice. I would recommend NSM to anyone interested in learning about music, in any fashion!
Private music lessons on piano, voice, guitar, violin, and most other instruments are top notch at New School of Music in Buford, Ga. Store manager, Carmen Ezeta, provides the best customer service and is eager to help with your music lesson or instrument rental needs. Call and ask for Carmen! Youll be glad you did.
Great school, great location!Excellent teachers and staff!! :-)
My sons take lessons with Shane (drums) and Doug (guitar). We love them!
Rented 2 instruments and after taking them back more than 6 times each for repairs still did not get them to play accordingly. Lost money and time. Never Again!!! And what’s worst after I returned the instruments I’m being charge for the same repairs they could not fix while I had them!!’ SMH..
Best place to learn
