I am very pleased with the Allegro School of Music and Dance.

ADDENDUM: I am adding a review of last night's recital where my 6 yr old grandson played Old McDonald on the piano with his teacher, Paul. It was wonderful! The audience was packed and enthusiastic and cheering for everyone. We were all so proud to be associated with Allegro. Kudos, too, to Paul for managing a cadre of 6 year olds and up, for an extended period of time. Not only is Paul an amazing musician but a wonderful teacher as well. The kids adore him. Thank you for a great, heart- warming evening.

I recently joined a rock and roll/country band called Chance Romance & now I’m being asked to sing lead on multiple songs instead of singing back up all the time!
