I have to talk about Nick as a teacher because that is the best experience with WIMA so far. My son is happy and I can see him progressing and really motivated. WIMA academy must improve their communication regarding the time slot inscriptions since I was offered a better slot and at the end they did not manage to help me out and it was a bit frustrating after the month waiting. Still I recommend WIMA and I wish you the best.

WIMA has and continues to be a great learning music platform for our son Justin. He loves learning how to play guitar on-line with Hayden and we have never seen him more engaged and motivated. What we appreciate the most about WIMA is their personal touch with a genuine interest in stimulating and motivating their students. Keep up the great work WIMA team!

So good! I went in with a cyst on my vocal chords that was caused by years of straining my voice. My ENT suggested I get singing lessons to reduce irritation when I sing. Laura fixed that issue immediately! She taught me where the air was supposed to be flowing when I sing in the first lesson and I haven't felt my cyst since! (I used to feel it like a lump in my throat when I would sing). So insane! Highly recommend!!

The lessons are great. I learned how to play a few songs by ukulele and guitar in a few weeks and it is very efficient. The teacher is also very nice and patient.

Positive: Quality
My 8yo son took piano lessons for four months and absolutely loved it. His teacher Laura was patient and encouraging, and he took great pride in each thing he learned. This was the first music lessons my son ever took and it made him love music even more.

Great school! We started my 7 year old in drumming with Matt and I've seen my son grow so much in one season. The staff has such a welcoming vibe and I love how quickly they pivoted during the COVID-19 situation with taking classes online so we didn't miss a beat. We are super happy with them, continuing with summer and fall. It is an investment but they are top notch for your kids musical talent.
