Testimonials

I'm happy that I found a great teacher Meagan for myself, an adult learner of the cello. I'm finally learning correct form and its greatly improving my playing. I'm also thrilled they have a student orchestra I can join! There are others in my age group I can play with in addition to the younger players. Great fun! Holly M. Dec 13, 2021

 

I have enjoyed taking piano lessons from at West Colfax Academy Golden Music in Lakewood. I have played off and on for many years, and I'm learning a different set of skills than I was taught previously. Deborah H. Feb 15, 2022

Joe on Cello Is an exceptional person. Not only is he talented, he is caring and enthusiastic about not only music, but life. He has been understanding about my scheduling issues, due to my travel, as well as my health issues. As an older ( well, sorta older) person, this has been a very positive experience for me. Patricia S. Lakewood Jan 18, 2022

 Her whole 10-year-old life, Hannah has loves to sing, anywhere, everywhere, and all the time. We call it, the Han-dora (Pandora) station. The first time she met her teacher, she said, "I could sing with him all day long. He is SO much fun! Can I have a voice lesson every day?" She loves to practice her vibrato, her up and down chords, and her breathing.  We are so happy to have found West Colfax Academy at Lakewood.  Suzanne 2/3/22

My 5th grade son started playing the French horn this school year. He has a beautiful instrument in great shape and is really enjoying learning to play it. West Colfax Academy in Lakewood has been a part of the process.  Music is part of my life in that...I love music. I can't imagine a day without hearing music. I love hearing my son make music and replicating music that he hears! I wish I had that gift!  Julie 3/3/22

FIVE STARS 11/30/2020:
For a while, I had only one kid taking music lessons at West Colfax Academy at Lakewood. My other child wanted lessons too, but we had to wait for another teacher to open up at the same time. Kelsey kept me in mind and let me know as soon as the time i needed was available. She made scheduling easy and convenient and was always very helpful!  Brandon Dennis 11/30/22

 

 

I was a proud band kid growing up. I tried the flute at 11 years old, and totally fell in love with it. Looking back, some of my best memories and friendships were created because I played music. (I even met my husband in marching band.) I’m a big fan of music education for kids, to say the least! 3/6/22

Music Education...

It is a known and widely studied fact that music education in children leads to measurable benefits, including increased literacy and therefore improved academic results. But it is also a wonderful way to build confidence, encourage good behaviors and commitment to teamwork, and create a sense of belonging. Starting children in music education young is great, but anyone can learn any time.   Lakewood
