4. What are the top classes that Further Music School offers? Why do you think most parents enroll their kids in these classes?

Wow, it is very difficult to choose! Most of our music lessons are very popular among students and due to high volume students are put on our waiting list. But, if we had to choose, I would say it’s our private music lessons.

In the past years, Forest Hills neighborhood attracted various regional residents to move to here. This led to more and more businesses being founded.
