My Students’ Impressions

My experience with Octo Music was beyond excellent!! Ronald is undoubtedly a music genius! If you're a parent trying to find a reputable teacher who exercises patience, professionalism, dedication, and wears a smile during lessons, Octo Music Studio is the BEST place! Ronald loves music with a passion and teaches from his soul, he is awesome!!! My daughter started lessons at
age 5 and was able to play and sing after just 4 months! Give him a call, you won't regret it and your child would definitely benefit! BEST teacher ever!!

Karen Williams

Very pleased with my decision to have my child enrolled in classes here. Mr. Ronald came highly recommended and I have yet to be disappointed. The class in enjoyable for my 7 year old and Mr. Ronald is extremely patient and communicates well. He provides a comfortable environment to learn via zoom and is thorough enough in his teaching that a student of a young age can understand and grasp the information without difficulty. Will definitely refer to anyone looking for good quality lessons.

Khamelah Ford

Ronald is a very experienced and knowledgeable teacher. He is a patient teacher and flexible with time scheduling. My daughter has been going for a while now and is doing well in both piano and guitar lessons. She loves classes and looks forward to every lesson. I would recommend Octo Music Studio to anyone.
