We started my daughter at DEA about a year and a half ago, continuing her violin journey. In that time, she's completed 2 books in the Suzuki method, learned so much technique, entered her first competition, and genuinely enjoys her instrument...and all of that is largely due to Gvantsa's masterful teaching! She has such an uplifting personality, always positive (even when about to give a correction), and she's so wildly skilled at her craft. The rest of the team is wonderful too, making you feel like family from the second you enter the foyer. We don't take lessons with Mr. Phil, but hearing his interactions with his young students and talking with him before our weekly lessons, I can tell his students are equally fortunate to have him as a piano and voice teacher. Everyone is so personable, I highly recommend the studio to anyone looking for strong, skilled music teachers who understand children AND music in an advanced way.

The staff has been friendly to work with. Learning at the School has had a number of benefits. The teachers provide structure for your learning, which I did not have when trying to teach myself an instrument. They will also help you tailor your learning to meet your particular goals. They'll recommend music books to work through and come alongside you as you go through each lesson. The instructors, there, are also good at pushing you past your comfort zone, especially when it comes to live performance.

We are thrilled with our experience so far at DEA. I am very impressed with the owners and staff. My son has had a few lessons with Mason and has fallen in love with the guitar! Mason is teaching him fundamentals, while still keeping it cool for my (8 yr old) son by teaching him riffs from his favorite band, and even some power chords!
Sherma (an owner) is absolutely lovely. She is warm, and inviting and the children are obviously at ease around her. Her speaking voice is so melodic, and smooth. I can only imagine what she sounds like when she sings!
Mark (another of the owners) is obviously very knowledgeable, and the few lessons my friend's son have taken with him have been great.
Very excited to check out there summer camp offerings. Feeling very lucky to have such a high caliber school right around the corner!

This place is great! My son, who is seven years old started piano lessons just over two months ago. He has made some great strides and really loves taking lessons with Mr. Mark. It’s actually hard to believe it’s only been two months since he seems to be flying through the books. I will say I do have him practice every day for about 20 minutes and that is making all the difference with his progress.

When I first learned of DEA, I loved that it was super conveniently located in Morristown. I had heard of them from a friend who had a great experience, where their daughter was given the option to try lots of different instruments before picking what she would like to pursue playing. We decided on piano and couldn’t be happier. Sherma, who is probably the one you will talk to first, is so nice and sweet and very helpful. She also does voice lessons and we are hoping to sign my son up for that as well in the near future. If I could, I would sign him up for all the lessons, because the caliber of teaching is very high quality. They also really want to get involved with the community, and I think building connections and supporting one another is incredibly important now. I definitely recommend checking them out!

My experience here has been an amazing experience. I am learning more about myself with music than I knew Yes The people are nice and friendly, and the teacher is amazing.

Sherma and Mark are wonderful people, talented musicians. I went to visit before signing my daughter up for summer camp and I got instant good vibes. My daughter loves camp and only wants to go to camp and not school. Celia the art teacher is very kind and great with the kids. I feel really thankful to have DEA and Sherma and Mark in my community. This is a wonderful little gem that everyone in Morristown and surrounding areas should really check out.

I just got my first bass lesson here by Craig absolutely phenomenal teacher insanely impressive guitar player the atmosphere of the place was very welcoming sharma was very friendly and kind to speak with as well as mark very cool guy who is a virtuoso of numerous instruments from brass to the strings all in all his place was absolutely terrific I definitely have plans on returning

This place rocks!! The music teachers are all of the highest level of quality, both personally and musically and the space is comfortable perfectly designed for learning, creativity and fun.
