The school has really good teachers in all levels and all instruments. The owner Leon is very knowledgeable, fun and has a strong passion in music and music education. He spends a lot of time in the studio to teach and makes the studio better in terms of the environment and teaching quality. I take my daughter to learn piano in the school with Miss Katya.
She is great, very friendly, sweet to kids, and also hold them to do it right. I really like her style when kids building their music foundations. BTW, they also have group classes if you want to try it out and make some music friends.

Both of my sons have been studying bass with Leon for over 6 years. They thrive as musicians, not just bass players, as a result of their training. I know the same high expectations are in place for every instructor at Federal Way School of Music to ensure a quality and professional institution for music education. Although my sons have only studied with Leon, every instructor I've met has been professional, skilled, and supportive to students. There truly is no better place for private music instruction in Federal Way.

My son took piano here for a little over a year. It was an awesome experience. He was a beginner without any previous training and was able to learn so much. He always looked forward to his lessons and spoke so highly of his instructors. Instructors are communicative, patient, and so helpful with advice and knowledge of extra curricular for advancement and future growth and planning. Thank you to Ms. Soudek and Mrs. Dizney- for a great experience that helped nurture a love for music!
