I have long wanted to learn how to play the drums and 1.5 years ago I chose this school. The rooms are well renovated, the rooms are always warm, however, they are absolutely not equipped for playing drums (no sound insulation).
There is a strong feeling that you are needed here ONLY for the sake of money. At first, I studied with Anton. I don't know if there's something wrong with me, but absolutely all the lessons were the same: you come in, play the same beat the whole lesson, the teacher turns on the music and plays the song himself, you leave. Then, by chance, I got to the teacher Pasha (I know that he no longer works there). And to be honest, it was the best thing that happened at this school. After several months of classes with Anton, I had to re-learn everything, since the mistakes (which I made as a beginner) were not corrected, and subsequently became a habit.
I also remember the situation when, when buying a subscription, payment by card did not go through (as it later turned out due to a malfunction of the terminal), the administrator said that everything was fine and I could pay next time, but at the same second the manager of this institution blew up (as I understood) and began to demand that I call my parents and they brought it from the other end of Minsk (!!) I need cash to pay for my subscription (I was underage at the time, so she successfully found the pressure points)
I admit that other areas (vocals, piano, guitar, etc.) are more developed, but I definitely do not recommend drumming at this school.
A pleasant place, convenient to get to. There is always parking. There are many teachers in different fields, it is convenient to study at the same time with the child. And if you really study, then you can make good progress in a year!
My score is zero!
I was at a vocal trial class. Everything was fine. I have even more enthusiasm for learning! I even managed to relax. After the first trial lesson, I decided to sign up for the next time and buy a subscription, but since the terminal was not working, the administrator offered to leave an advance payment so that the discount on the subscription would remain (at that time there were promotions for subscriptions).
So I signed up for the next lesson.
As a person who values my time and other people's, I arrived a little earlier. The teacher arrived at the appointed time. As a result, it turned out that the administrator was not in place, and we could not get into the office, since the keys were in the administrator's office.
After 15 minutes of waiting, I personally decided to call the administrator. No one answered the phone. All this time, the teacher wrote to the group in the hope of finding out where the key was. But even here, everyone was silent.
I wanted to wait, but I ran out of patience. I had enough for 30 minutes of waiting.
The most interesting thing started later.
The guy called, apologized, said force majeure, offered to reschedule the recording. I refused, saying that I would come and collect my prepayment. No one objected.
After that, the girl called, apologized, said that the administrator was ill, offered another free lesson and 20% on the subscription. And this time I refused.
After that, the head of this institution called, it is clear that she apologized for the inconvenience and offered even more favorable conditions. And then my refusal.
If you have an employee who is ill, there should be a replacement and yes, learn how to answer the phone.
It's not about the money!
Appreciate your own and other people's time!
