Ren has progressed very quickly since he started piano at Tampa Music School just 1 year ago. Ruthie has put so much genuine interest in his talent. We are grateful to have the school available in the area with the best instructors in the area!

We've known Maestro Maines for many years, and the only thing more impressive than his musical/teaching skills is the quality of his character. You simply won't find a better man who truly lives by Christian principles. His wife and children are just as amazing, and you will be blessed when you become part of the Tampa Music School family!

Maestro Maines and all of the Tampa Music School family are great people and know their stuff! You could not ask for a more professional, fun and inviting atmosphere for learning about music and instruments. I highly recommend this establishment.

What a great place! We just signed in my 5 year old, he took his first lesson and now he is counting the days for his next lesson. His teacher is very sweet and patience. I'll recommend Tampa music school for sure!

My son has had a great experience with this music school. He has only been a student for 6 months and is already playing Hedwig's Theme. Diandra is such a great teacher, I can tell how much he has grown since switching to her.
