There are so many positive things to say about Lott Music that there isn’t enough time or space. Aaron and Urtzi are both very welcoming and kind and make you feel comfortable the second you meet them. I have learned so much in 4 lessons than I ever did taking lessons before. Aaron is an incredible instructor! He is extremely knowledgeable, patient, kind, super sweet and hilarious! If you are considering taking lessons I would highly recommend Lott Music!!!!

I have grown up with music being a big part of my life. Now, in my twenties, I wanted to grow in vocal and piano skills. Aaron was extremely skilled as an instructor, and helped me grow quickly. The music studio has been expanding recently, which is amazing. They are able to help musicians of all ages and levels. Lott Music Studio is filling a much needed spot in the Ames community, and I cannot recommend it enough.

Aaron and Urtzi are so wonderful to work with! They made me feel welcomed and comfortable immediately. Not to mention my piano skills have improved significantly since I started lessons. The Ames community is fortunate to have Lott Music Studios around. 🙂

I cannot say enough about the quality and professionalism of Lott Music Studio. Aaron brings a patient and innovative approach to my middle school piano student. My child is back to enjoying playing piano and setting his own improvement goals. The scheduling and payment systems are like clockwork.

Awesome studio! Aaron and Urtzi are such great guys and every lesson I come to is a fun time! I can tell I’m really growing as a musician. I started lessons in May and I’m already learning full pieces that only take me a few weeks to grasp. I definitely recommend! We’ll probably still drive up for lessons when we move out of the area! Thank you guys!
