My children have been taking piano lessons with Ms. Georgia Ms Georgia's Creative Arts Academy for about 8 or 9 years. She has been an instrumental part of my children's love for music. Since starting piano, their love for music has extended passed the piano but they both now play multiple instruments. She is simply the BEST! Her and her team are absolutely the AMAZING. Very loving, caring and kind. She uses different ways to teach the kids it's not just sitting at the piano. She is always encouraging the students to do their best and to reach their highest potential. I would HIGHLY recommend the Neighborhood Creative Arts Center!!
