My son is loving his drum lessons. He has tried every sport, activity, and extracurricular under the sun and has never really taken to any of them. He also struggles with his confidence at times. Seeing him get up and perform at the recital with confidence was truly monumental. My son loves his lessons with Joe - his approach to teaching drums gets him excited every week and has also helped with building that confidence. It has made such a meaningful impact on my son. The recital was such a great event, and you could really see how much time, effort, and care went into preparing them.

Our son loved performing and was so comfortable on stage which made us so happy and excited to see, especially this being his first recital! We attribute a lot of his comfort to how Heston has been so creative and individualized in his teaching style. It's awesome and has been such a great match for our son, so thank you for pairing them up! I'm so happy Heston came up to congratulate our son after the show - he was beaming with pride once he realized Heston had seen him perform. We look forward to seeing him continue to progress with Heston! The recital was great - so many talented young people and clearly lots of dedication from students and teachers. Awesome!!

First off, the team at JSMS provides an amazing experience for students of all ages and talents. They truly embrace and promote inclusivity and help students explore their love of music in a safe and comfortable environment. Music is such an important part of my life and it brings me such joy to see my daughter thriving and confident to perform in front of an audience. You have built such a wonderful business and I'm so glad that my daughter has been given this opportunity. She absolutely loves her lessons with Sara and Heston and to see her love of music continue to grow makes me so happy.

My son has been taking lessons with Jesse for 5 years, we couldn’t ask for a better teacher. Jesse is always positive, encouraging, kind and fun and as a result my son has thrived as a musician. I would never have guessed 5 years ago that music would be such a big part of our lives. My favorite aspect is that JSMS has managed to have my son appreciate all different styles of music and not just stick with his favorite.

Our child has been playing with Jesse since they were 10 and they are now 14! Over the years JSMS has shown them how to song write, how to be part of a rock, classical and jazz band, helped them prepare for district auditions, held fantastic percussion workshops, amazing showcases and found them great opportunities to play gigs. Jesse always makes every lesson fun. He has a broad musical knowledge and his patient, kind demeanor, makes all his pupils feel at ease and confident they can do more than they ever thought possible. We can’t say enough wonderful things about this great teacher and school!

My eight year old daughter started singing lessons with Rachel at JSMS about six months ago. The first thing we noticed was just how warm and welcoming Jesse and Rachel are. My daughter is often shy and when she’s nervous she can shut down a bit. Rachel is able to make her feel safe and seen while pulling her out of her shell to learn and enjoy her lessons. I was shocked that after only a few months of lessons my daughter got up at open mic night and sang in front of people for the first time ever. She was confident and poised and sang the song she’d been practicing with Rachel and was so proud of herself. Not only did Rachel prepare her musically but she helped her feel like she could take that leap to put herself out there. My daughter sings at home every single day since starting her lessons and I hear the improvement in her skill and see the boost in her self confidence and it warms my heart. I would recommend JSMS to anyone and everyone.
