PrivATE LESSONS

"Our family has been with Encore for the last school year and we have been so happy with our experience. The location is great, the class offerings are extensive and we love that the whole family can participate either in classes together or separately. We are excited to see Encore grow and evolve."

~ Nicole (adult student and parent)

"I love Encore because the teachers are encouraging even when things are hard, and you can learn just about any instrument you want. I learned to love my music practice, and the music homework is the most enjoyable I've ever had. I really love to play my instrument now."

~ Lila (youth student)

"Wonderful place. Loved the course and the instructor was fantastic. Very passionate, smart and engaging, and his character really brought out the best in all the students. I can’t find anything quite like it, diverse offerings with passionate artists."

~ Andy (adult student)

"Where to start! The arts are introduced to children in a way that really speaks to them, and the children enjoy it so much! At the same time, it is real education, with the opportunity for real performances. The quality is high, and yet it is not stuffy or uptight. There is nowhere else like it. It seems to me that Ms. Danika has a refreshing philosophy of life, which is: if you want to do it, try it. If at first it isn't perfect, just keep trying, and enjoy the process. And she shares many tips and tricks to decode music. Her can-do and joyful approach to the discipline of the arts is such a special energy for children to witness. Thank you!"

~ Anne (parent)

"It’s a fabulous learning environment. I sat in almost every class last semester and it was great. Every Encore team member I met has been friendly and helpful. They all have positive vibes and it shows in the environment of the studio."

~ Gina (parent)

"I want to say how much my daughter's personality and confidence has grown so much this year being in musical theatre. She really enjoyed being in class again. I was so surprised that she had a solo part singing as well as taking on two different roles. The show [at the Nampa Civic Center 12/29/22] was so much fun, and we're grateful to have shared that with family. The amount of work that was put into the show is amazing!"

~ Alicia (parent)

"My kids are so excited to go to Encore each week. They get to be creative in a fun and nurturing environment while learning tons. We’ve taken at least 4 classes there so far and every teacher has been skilled, patient and friendly with the kids. I would definitely recommend Encore for a little extra learning fun outside of regular school or in addition to homeschool programs."

~ Kate (parent)

"All of the instructors so clearly love what they do and sharing it with all of their students. I've been looking for a place like this where I can learn from people who want to help you as an individual find and strengthen your unique skillset and style of art. I've been in a few different classes and choirs around the valley, and I've never found any place that is so accommodating to every student of all ages and skill levels and has so many students and instructors who genuinely love being there!"

~ Bailee (adult student)

"Encore truly is a unique studio. The variety of classes and lessons offered allows a child to explore their interests all in one place. As a parent of multiple children, I so appreciate that. It’s such a blessing to have one studio provide amazing opportunities for all age ranges. I have been very impressed with the level of professionalism, compassion, and flexibility of the staff and instructors. We have seen tremendous growth in our daughter since she started taking private piano lessons with Encore. Very impressed!"

~ Dana (parent)

"They start the classes on time and always greet us with a smile. If I ask how my girls are doing, the teachers are more than willing to take a few minutes and discuss their progress."

~ Kelsey (parent)

"Class goes so fast -- I can't believe 2 hours went by because it is so fun!"

~ Stella (youth student)

"We have been so thrilled with our discovery of Encore! I have a very artistic 12 year old who has been dying to take drawing classes for years. It had been very difficult to find any classes for his age that were specifically for drawing. Not only were we able to find drawing classes with Encore but the instructor is fantastic with impressive credentials and is a great teacher. I feel she is very aware of my son's ability and helps him push to the next level."

~ Jenna (parent)

"Sofia comes home so energized and excited after her class! We had been looking for an outlet for Sofia's desire to perform, and we've been so happy with Encore."

~ Ruth (parent)

"Before we started taking Piano at Encore, there would be complaints and excuses about going to Piano Lessons. Now there are none. They really enjoy the group piano class."

~ Helen (parent)

"Fun, positive studio. Kids love the piano lessons and art classes."

~ Scott (parent)

"We've been with Encore since Encore started and have no plans of stopping our involvement ever! The growth I've seen in my daughter through our involvement there has impacted her on many levels. She has had so many opportunities to shine and grow in creative arts, confidence, leadership, and life skills. Encore has made such a difference in my daughter's life!"

~ Heather (parent)
