““Studying piano at Ballard Academy of Music and Dance is important to me because it is special to me to make music. My teacher, Rob, is funny. He showed me fast songs that made me happy when I was sad. The Ballard Academy is cool. I also like seeing some of the kids I go to school with at the Academy.””
““Studying dance at the Ballard Academy is important to me because I love ballet, ballet is a sport. It can help your body when your body is tired or out of shape. It has lots of stretches, and steps. Some are fun, some are slow and some are hard. I like to practice every day after school, and practice makes perfect. I feel happy and excited when I dance. I like all the nice teachers. They are so nice, that’s probably why you have so many kids. I also like the Ballard Dance Academy because there are so many classes that you can do!”

“My 9yo son and I take joint guitar lessons from Clark since maybe 4/10. Clark is an awesome teacher and we both like him a lot—-to the point where my son wants to emulate his playing style. I have some prior experience with guitar but this is my son’s first time playing. We’ve both made a lot of progress and love being able to play and practice together. The Academy is run by professional staff and is a fun, clean, and lively place to learn.”
