"We’re very satisfied with both the face-to-face and online lessons. I have 3 kids who’ve learned piano and guitar from Applied Music Platform; and I am so impressed at how their teachers developed their skills, more importantly, the passion and enthusiasm that are evident as they play the musical instruments."

"I came across teacher Reg and has been with them a full year already. First time meeting the teachers made me really feel at ease and gave me an assurance that my kids are in good hands. Being with them is like being in a family, teaching with a heart. You'd know that what they are doing is more than just a business or a job, there's a passion to teach music. You get your money's worth plus more!"

"As a homeschooler family, we are very blessed to have found the AMP. The people there, all of them from the owner to the teachers were so nice and generous. Most importantly, we love our piano teacher here. He is so nice, always calm, and very generous. Their teaching follows the student's ability. They teach here execution, techniques, and music theory. Our son learned a lot from them. Additionally, their environment feels like a real music school, they have grand pianos and harp."

"My children have been enrolled with Sounds Kradle Inc. for 2 years now. They've been taking violin lessons with one of their most patient and engaged teachers that I know. I am very glad that even with this pandemic, their violin lessons still continue through their online classes with very flexible options. As a parent, it gives me great joy to see my children's confidence in themselves, their natural ability and sense of fulfillment grow. Thank you Sounds Kradle Inc. for continuing to provide these lessons to our kids."

"I like having voice lessons with my teacher because whenever I have a problem with a note she always helps me. She never forgets my notes after each lesson and I use these as my guide to rehearse daily. She is encouraging and she helps me become better at singing."
