Very welcoming and diverse place to be apart of. My music experience here as a kid was the reason why I kept my math scores up in school. As I visited it as an adult. It still offered the same benefits. Glad to see it still being ran graciously.
Fantastic tap dance instructor - Cheryl Johnson. Builds on the students strengths. My 8 yr old son actually likes dancing!The theater is beautiful and students perform as a crowning achievement of the semester.The administration also has been responsive and helpful with my questions, and I appreciate that the academic calendar is readily available online.
Nothing recommend about this school. All they want is your money, do not take your child there or you will face problems after problems.
I absolutely love Hochstein. I studied there from 2000-2002, in 2008-2009 and now from 2013 to present. I have studied with three different piano teachers and they have all been amazing! I lived in Boston, MA for a while while I went to Berklee College of Music for Piano Performance and Music Composition and then when I moved back to Rochester, NY I continued my private Piano lessons at Hochstein. I am becoming more advanced on the piano every day. I plan to study with my teacher at Hochstein for a very long time.I love that Hochstein has the All School Recitals. I have performed in so many of them. They also have Open Mic which is open to Music and Dance students. I have also participated in this. And I have participated in other performance opportunities at Hochstein.Hochstein is a great Music and Dance School and is perfect for the beginning student all the way up to Concert Musician level and very advanced/serious Dancer.I also have taken Music Composition lessons and Voice, been in an Ensemble, and have taken a Dance class at Hochstein.I am very thankful that Hochstein is helping me with financial aid and would like to give back to Hochstein one day if I make money from publishing music in the future.I recommend Hochstein for everyone at any age.
The staff are excellent, very passionate about what they do. It is an awesome school and I would highly recommend it!
A wonderful school with many outstanding and accomplished teachers. For students dedicated to music as well as those just looking for an enrichment experience.
While I can say that this particular school has produced many fine musicians, I have to say that their location, in particular the theater area, is without a doubt an awful venue. It is just not a welcome feeling as it wasnt intended to be a performance hall. The acoustics are not the best either. Sightlines are also sometimes not great here. All in all, the space feels a bit outdated for Hochstein. I can see where it was nice in the beginning, but its time to spread their wings and find a new home, or perhaps, build a new home theirselves.
Worst experience ever, don’t let your kids go there
Best Music school in the city! Great teachers and friendly staff.
I attended hochstein for a couple years as a child. I took trumpet lessons from Nate Rawls who had a ton of patience and excellent instructional skills. My memories of hochstein are all fond and happy. To this day the lessons I received are incorporated into all my musical ventures
School for children of retarded parents. The Middle of Plymouth is not a parking space.
The worst experience ever ! I wouldnt recommend this music school for anyone. Not worse your time and money.
BEST. MUSIC. SCHOOL. EVER. PERIOD.
