National Conservatory of Arts

We are considering the National Conservatory of Arts (near 16th and Buchanan Nw) for a 2-week Piano/Guitar camp and or early childhood music aftercare for my child who will be almost 5 this summer. Has anyone had any recent experiences with them?

No experience with the camp but our child participated in their aftercare program last year. It sounded like a good program on paper but we were disappointed with our experience. I’m not sure what the kids do at aftercare besides play the bucket drums and color. The owner is really bad at communicating. At one point we stopped getting monthly invoices and asked her repeatedly to bill us. She never did and then in September sent us a confusing and incorrect invoice that double billed us for the few months we had paid for. Getting the invoice corrected was difficult and took weeks of back and forth with the owner who is very disorganized. We did not return this year.
