The Gift of Music Academy

My 13 year old daughter and 10 year old daughter have been going to Miss Eileen for well over 2 years now. There is no question Miss Eileen will get you where you want to be with your voice. The encouragement and confidence she has given to my girls is unmeasurable. She is truly an exceptional vocal teacher, with wonderful teaching style. I can't recommend Miss Eileen enough!!

I have been a student of piano and voice for over 5 years. Eileen is a truly gifted artist and teacher. She is incredibly patient and positive. The academy is in a professional and comfortable setting. I highly recommend this music school.

I've been regularly taking vocal lessons from Eileen Bates at the Gift of Music Academy for the past three years. My voice has grown in leaps and bounds since Miss Eileen began working with me. She is a knowledgeable and patient teacher, at the same time pushing me to achieve the next level and do the best I can. I recommend the Gift of Music Academy to anyone looking for a singing instructor - you won't regret it!

Eileen has been an amazing voice and piano teacher. She has worked with me for just over 3 years, and over that time she has expanded my vocal ability and piano knowledge. She is very dedicated and helped me be accepted to the Summer Intensive Program at the Washington National Opera and land an audition at Peabody Conservatory. She has been very flexible with my schedule and I always feel so welcome when I come to a lesson.

I have been a student of The Gift of Music Academy and Eileen since I was 12 years old. At almost 31 years old today, and after many more instructors in my performance career, I can proudly say that you will not get an education like the one you receive from here. Eileen has such a knowledge and love for music and people that it is impossible not to grow in your learning as not only a performer, but a person in general. From the minute you walk in the door you feel like family and by the time you walk out you will have tried (an accomplished!) things musically you never thought you would but with a confidence you can only get from teachers like her! Highly recommended clearly!
