What Parents say about CSCA:

PARENT EMAIL:

​

Dina Altum is the best for vocals and composition. My 15 year old daughter has been working with Dina for almost three years. Dina is professional, patient, warmhearted and so sweet. My daughter’s vocal skills have developed significantly while working with her. Not only is Dina an amazing vocal teacher, but she is also very talented at composition. Now my daughter and Dina are working on composing original songs to record in a studio which is really exciting and fun! We are so grateful for her expertise!

 

You're amazing and we really are so grateful for your work!

Thanks!

Laura

Email Message: Tom taught both of my kids piano. He was wonderful and used the best approach for each kid. They went on to love trombone and baritone. Jay is now teaching high school music and Ben was just accepted into the Hayes School of Music at App State!  (Feb 2022)

"I want to take this opportunity to thank you guys for your help with Eva. We can see so much improvement and confidence in this short period of time we couldn't be any happier. Dina is amazing and a great fit for my once shy little girl.  You were so right  when you matched them :) 
 
I am happy to share exciting news. Last week Eva auditioned for a Peter Pan Jr. role. She  was complimented for being well prepared and the director told us she had an excellent audition (Thank you Dina!) Eva was called-back for Wendy and was finally  chosen for Tinkerbell (which was the role she was originally hoping for).   As you can imagine she is gleaming with the news. "

  • "Great music teachers. Best experience with voice, piano and digital recording lessons, my daughter is learning and improving her singing and piano every month, what I like the most is the friendly environment where my daughter is able to express herself choosing lessons that are not boring at all so she keeps interested at all times. Thank you Ms Dina, Mr Justin and Mr Tom."

  • 5 Stars! We have been attending the Saturday morning Anime Drawing at CSCA for over 4 years. Mr Eddie has been teaching my daughter how to draw anime style and any other type of technique she inquires about. Mr. Eddie works with each student to develop their skills at their own pace by letting students choose their own pieces that inspire them (as another parent mentioned). Mr. Eddie is an outstanding teacher and great with children of all ages. It has been a great place to meet other like-minder friends who have developed a friendship outside of this class! I highly recommend CSCA. It is a great learning environment with outstanding teachers                                                  Chris   (2017)

  •   I just wanted to say thank you again for letting my son,  have the opportunity to explore his music passion this summer.  He is still talking about how awesome it was.  He had a great time with Kam.  I'm sharing the video I took of him at the end of the week performance.  We will definitely be signing up again next summer and recommending it to everyone!
