Our son has been taking lessons at BOCO for the past three years, studying both piano and drums, and the experience has been outstanding. When he first started, he had never played an instrument before. During this time he’s grown tremendously and found a deep love for music. I would highly recommend for kids or adults looking to learn how to play an instrument.

Love having BOCO as part of our Oak Cliff community! My daughter takes piano lessons with Miss Melanie, and I’m grateful for her looking for ways to engage her using music she likes and a patient approach.

Great space to take lessons! One of our kids is enjoying drum lessons here but they offer all types of music lessons. Plenty of space for parents to wait during lessons as well.

BOCO is life changing. We have two kiddos that have grown and developed a love for music through their programs. Melanie Silva is the best vocal coach I’ve seen, preparing our oldest for admission into Booker T. I’m grateful for her and everyone on staff! Would highly recommend

We love BOCO and Little Oaks! Ms. Melanie is joyous and engaging and the songs foster not only music but movement. I truly believe Little Oaks has helped my son learn and appreciate music-and have fun!

Both my son and daughter have been taking music lessons at BOCO for years. Every music teacher they’ve been paired with has been AMAZING! As a musician and an educator, I can vouch for the engaging instruction of every teacher that’s instructed my children since we joined the BOCO family. Lessons take place in the offices behind the renowned Kessler Theatre and recitals are held on the main stage! I admit, I am jealous my kids got to play the Kessler before me and in awe of the young musicians produced by Michael and his team.

We've been attending the Little Oaks class for a few months with Ms. Melanie and my daughter loves it! She's almost two and looks forward to the classes every week. For littles, it's a great way to introduce musical ful. And for parents it's nice to add more friendly faces to our village and s p end time together. Highly recommend 🥰

My daughter has been taking piano and vocal lessons at BOCO for over a year now, and she absolutely LOVES IT! Her teacher, Melanie Silva, has been such a perfect fit. She truly sees my daughter — her personality, her talent, and what motivates her — and has chosen songs she knows and enjoys, which makes such a difference in keeping her engaged. While we started with piano, Melanie has thoughtfully mixed in vocals to keep things fresh and fun, tapping into what she knows will spark a long-term love of music. I can’t say enough about how much my daughter looks forward to her lessons each week and how much she’s grown under Melanie’s guidance. Highly recommend!
