What Do Our Students Think?

My kids absolutely love their music lessons. My daughter takes singing lessons with Sherma, who is incredibly talented and kind. My son takes guitar lessons and is loving them, he has learned SO much and just started last spring. I highly highly recommend this music school, it is a gem and we are really glad we found it.
Response from the owner:Thank you so much Bailey for this beautiful review. Teaching your daughter voice, has been such a joy, and we are so happy to hear how much your son is enjoying his guitar lessons. Helping students grow in confidence and skill while discovering their love for music and exactly what we strive for at DEA Music & Art. We look forward to their continued success.
My son started piano last June and we’ve been amazed at his progress! Mr. Adamy has adapted lessons to fit my son’s personal learning pace and keeps the learning engaging through a variety of exercises, including duets. He has encouraged my son’s own areas of interests and helps keep him self-motivated and practicing between sessions. A great experience !
Response from the owner:Laura,
Thank you for giving us the opportunity to work with your son. It is a joy to be a part of his continued musical growth as a pianist. We look forward to our continued work together!
We’ve had a wonderful experience with DEA Music School in Staten Island. Our son takes piano lessons with Elis, and we couldn’t be happier.

Elis is an exceptional teacher—patient, encouraging, and incredibly skilled at working with kids. He takes the time to make sure our son understands the material while keeping lessons engaging and enjoyable. We’ve seen steady progress not just in technique, but also in confidence and enthusiasm for music.

Most importantly, our son genuinely looks forward to his lessons each week. That says everything. We highly recommend DEA Music School, and especially Elis, to any family looking for a supportive and talented piano instructor.
I went there for singing lessons, amazing teachers, highly recommend!
Amazing place to learn music. Started taking singing lessons there, the teachers are very knowledge and passionate!
My son takes drum and chess lessons here and we highly recommend this establishment! His teachers are enthusiastic, attentive and professional. In addition, the location is convenient and the space is inviting.
I just signed my 8-year-old daughter up for piano lessons and had a great experience. We’re very happy with her teacher and the staff was friendly. I also love how the studio/school is set up. It’s very clean, spacious and inviting. I love the accommodations. So glad to have them in the neighborhood!
Shout out to Mr. Ronnie and Mr. Elis. Great teachers who always inspire students.
