If you are looking for music lessons around the twin cities metro this is the place to be. Structured well and a place to have your children to make music a passion. They also train the students to participate in MMTA competition and exams. Kramers music school has been a constant to my son’s after school activity for the last 13 years

Subhash Negi, Eden Prairie, MN

Our daughter has been attending the Kramer School of Music for over six years, learning piano, and for over three years, learning flute. The experience has been nothing short of exceptional. Her music teachers have been incredible—nurturing her musical talents and helping her develop a deep passion for both instruments. The teacher selection process at Kramer is outstanding, with every instructor being highly skilled and adaptable to the needs of each child.

Our daughter wouldn’t have become the musician she is today without the guidance and support of the Kramer School of Music. We wholeheartedly recommend this school to anyone looking to learn music in a fun and engaging environment.

My daughter takes lessons on piano with the teacher Mina Park who is a great teacher to work with. She is very caring and teaches the right lesson. We loved the Halloween recital organized by the school and thankful to Mina for leading the kids.

Love Kramers in Eden Prairie and especially our instructor, Tracy! We’ve been bringing our kids here for more than 6 years. My oldest is 12 and my middle guy is 9. They both love it. Soon, my youngest will start too!

I’m always appreciative that they are so flexible with scheduling and they work to find pieces to practice that interest the kids. A favorite was the theme to Zelda this year!

My son has been studying at Kramer’s School of Music for the past 5 years and it has been an incredible journey. His teacher, David has played a huge role in his musical growth and personal development. Over the years, my son has built strong skill and confidence. I highly recommend Kramer’s to any parent who is looking for a place where your child is truly thrive.

Hi, We have been associated with Kramer’s School of Music for couple of years now. Before my daughter joined the school, we did do our research, went to number of other institutions but they always felt either very informal or too commercial. Right from our first contact with the Kramer school, we felt very welcomed and since then everything has gone well. The school feels more organized, well planned and with right amount of push that kids need.

The best part is getting wonderful teachers and in our case it’s DAVID INTROWITZ-WILLIAMS. David has been a great teacher right from the introductory class to now. We have seen so much musical development in our daughter that it makes us feel very fortunate. We cant wait to get our second younger daughter enrolled here and be taught by David.

With the new location that Kramer has opened for South St. Paul families at Inver Grove Heights school, it just shows the trust that other families have shown to Kramer at other location, that they can expand and share the music with more people.

My children have been taking music classes at Kramer School for the last 8 years. My daughter has been taking piano lessons and she also tried the guitar, and my son started by playing the violin, but later on he switched to the clarinet. The beauty of the school is that they offer so many musical instruments, so that if one is not a good fit for your child, they can switch to a different one. There are also regular music recitals and they offer classes that prepare students for the MMTA exams and contests. All the teachers are experts in their instrument and have advanced musical degrees, but they are also encouraging and they know how to work with children. You can always ask for a trial lesson, and see if the teacher/instrument is a good fit for your child. Also, don’t forget about the drawing classes, as my children truly enjoyed these, too.
I highly recommend Kramer School to everyone. Thanks to the teachers here, my daughter has passed the 8 levels of the MMTA piano exam and this year is her 6th time that she will be performing at the Honors Concert, and my son is one of the best clarinet players in his school.

Mrs. Junko is an absolutely incredible piano teacher! She’s so easy to talk to, bringing boundless energy and positivity to every lesson. Her teaching style is the perfect balance of technical instruction and warmth, making learning both effective and enjoyable. My daughter has grown tremendously under her guidance, especially in her technique, thanks to Mrs. Junko’s keen eye and attention to detail. Beyond her musical expertise, she is funny, kind, and supportive, creating a welcoming environment that inspires confidence. We feel so fortunate to have her as a teacher—she’s truly one of a kind!

Our daughter- Kyra has been taking piano lesson at Kramer’s School of Music in Eden Prairie with Ms. Junko Durant for the past 3 years. Ms Durant is a fantastic teacher, very patience and thorough with Kyra. She supports and encourages Kyra to work towards perfection. Ms Durant has always willing to work around our busy schedule if something is came up that we can’t get our daughter to the lesson. Kyra has taken lesson at different music school prior to Kramer’s and one thing I can say that Kramer’s is very professional and the best. We are truly appreciate Ms Durant and Kramer’s School of music given our daughter an opportunity to explore the music world. Highly recommend the school and ESPECIALLY Ms Junko Durant.

Cathy did an amazing job with our young son Collin. This was his first piano experience and he is in first grade. She provided patience and guided him to the building blocks of piano and reading music!

My son takes voice lessons with Cera and really enjoys her as a teacher and is growing in his vocal abilities. Cera’s warm and bright personality make lessons fun for my son as he not only sings songs that he enjoys but also learns how the voice works along with practicing sight singing which is a very practical skill for any musician but is sometimes overlooked with voice students. Cera’s knowledge and proficiency in piano are greatly appreciated as she can also easily accompany her students. We highly recommend Cera and Kramer’s School of Music.

Isabelle Fishman, Plymouth, MN

I have been taking singing lessons with Mrs.Cera Finney online for the past year. She is a very good and organized teacher! I greatly enjoy having lessons with her! I have already participated in the school recital and it went very well! I highly recommend Kramer’s School of Music to anyone who is serious about music!

Thanks to the amazing team at Kramers School in Plymouth for inspiring my daughter to love music. My 9 year old has been attending school for more than a year. Dr.  Mina Park has created such a positive learning experience for her and Piano has become an eternal part of her life. Totally recommend Kramers!

Worth everything. A year-round weekly commitment we have made for nine years that benefits our three boys in music and in all of their pursuits. In their lessons with Ella, they have discovered that when they work hard and pay attention to detail, they can make beautiful music–and the ethics of hard work helps in school and sports and anything they do. Ella’s attention to detail and focus on technique creates a foundation of musical skill and confidence. They have learned to be confident performing and speaking in front of others. And they have learned how good it feels to see other people appreciate when you make music.

Karthic Family, Eden Prairie, MN

Our daughters Kavya and Kanya have been taking Piano lessons from Kramer’s School of Music for the past 6 years and it has been a wonderful experience. We have seen remarkable improvement over the years and the kids really look forward to the piano lessons. Ella is extremely committed and really expects perfection from the students which reflects through her student’s play.

Parents are informed about different piano exams/contests. By participating in contests, kids get an opportunity to be in MMTA Honors concert which is a pride! Teacher plays an important role in helping the kids for selecting the right musical piece to play. School arranges performances for each season, I would call this a Highlight as it gives confidence and motivation to kids.

Apart from practical learning, kids gain the theoretical knowledge about music and has special classes for the same. The symbols, notes are familiar for the kids which allows them to learn any other instrument!

Divya Shree, Parent Eden Prairie, MN

Eleonora started teaching my son, Anirudh, when he was 5. She is a very dedicated, talented proficient piano teacher. She is very patient and follows a high standard in her teaching. She supports and encourages to progress and work towards perfection. I am also very much impressed with her senior students during the recitals. My Son enjoys her lesson a lot.

Scott & Maria Pearson, Parents, Eden Prairie, MN

Our daughter has been taking piano lessons for just over 4 years at the Kramer’s School of Music. Words cannot demonstrate how impressed we are with her teacher. She is a true professional and a magnificent teacher. She has impressed us with her skills and depth. She always takes care and the time necessary to explain how to play piano in the right way and instills a feeling of confidence with her students. As a result, our daughter has grown in talent and has participated in several competitions. I highly recommend Kramer School of Music for you they have exceeded our expectations.

Elena Kramer is an accomplished pianist and a superb teacher. Through years of studying music and the teaching of many students she has accumulated a vast amount of music knowledge and the skills necessary to instruct, inspire, and motivate a student. Elena is an outstanding piano teacher with the expertise needed to bring out the best in her students and provide the mentorship required for students seeking greater achievement and enjoyment in piano studies. Her extensive experience and professionalism is evident in how she conducts her lessons and in the results she creates in her students. She challenges her students to do their utmost best with every piece, paying attention not only to technical detail, but also to the artistry, emotion and story that the piece should express. During the lesson process, Elena teaches not only what to practice, but more importantly, how to practice. She uses analysis as part of approaching a new piece and gives clear and concise explanations. I have studied baroque, classical, romantic, contemporary pieces with her. I would highly recommend Elena for anyone seeking piano instruction, theory and a well-rounded music education.

Heng family, Eden Prairie, MN

Ella is a superb piano teacher. She has been teaching my children for ten years now. I would recommend Kramer’s School of Music to any parents who want their kids to learn piano.

Sumita Saini, Parent Eden Prairie, MN

My 12 year old son and 9 year old daughter have been getting Piano lessons from Kramer’s School of Music for more than 6 years. They have a wonderful teacher who is passionate about bringing out the best in her students. Her teaching style has encouraged my kids to love music and learn it the right way. She provides several opportunities in the year, for kids to perform in front of public and make it fun too. My kids love the Halloween recital each year when they get to wear their costumes and play “scary” music. I feel fortunate to have a talented teacher here in our community. If you are thinking of getting your kids into piano, look no further.

Yi Du, Parent Savage, MN

My piano teacher has been a wonderful for my 9 year old son. She is not only kind, caring, and very patient, but she truly inspires her students to enjoy learning and to love music. The passion for teaching at Kramer’s School of Music is evident: it can be seen at the recitals where students of many years perform with great skill and excitement; it is evident as she prepares each student for theory tests and performances; and also as she gently encourages frequent practice, attention to details and dynamics, a fun and relaxed learning environment, and a genuine interest in each student and their family. The instructor is an amazing pianist herself and her love and dedication to music is apparent in her teaching. She has a very well rounded approach and includes theory lessons, performance classes, recitals, and competitions as part of her yearly curriculum.

Erin Falk, student, Eden Prairie, MN

I have had a great experience with taking piano and theory lessons from Kramer’s School of Music. The theory lessons helped me prepare for the MMTA exams and also apply what I learned to the pieces I was playing. I also really enjoy the piano lessons, and I am learning so much. My teacher helps me keep improving the pieces I’m playing and she always has helpful suggestions. She is good at explaining things and helping me understand the theory behind the music.

Claire Song, Student Eden Prairie, MN

I have been playing piano at Kramer’s School of Music for nearly ten years now. I began playing in second grade with no knowledge of music, and I think I can say that this education has given me the tools I need for a future in music. Some competitions I have participated in include Schubert Club, Young Artists, Thursday Musical, North Star, and Northwestern, not to mention the numerous MMTF, MMTA and studio-hosted recitals and concerts. I also passed Level 9 piano with high distinction and completed level 4 theory. Through my experience I have learned not only how to excel in music but also discipline and a respect for the arts.

Huizhen Chen, Parent, Eden Prairie, MN

Mrs. Kramer opened the door for my daughter of the wonderful world of classic music. Her great passion and techniques as a piano teacher and most importantly as a great pianist encouraged and nurtured my daughter’s love on piano playing. We can see her skill growing every day. We feel fortunate to have Mrs. Kramer guide and accompany our daughter in this musical journey.

Lei Parent, Eden Prairie, MN

Elena Kramer is the most incredible piano teacher who is kind and nurturing, yet never fails to instill important life lessons of discipline and accountability. She is extremely committed to her students learning, and patiently works with them in building aptitude, interest and skills. We have often marveled at her level of engagement with the students. Our family has thoroughly enjoyed this musical experience with her and we highly recommend all our friends and family to her.

Ankita Borah, Parent, Eden Prairie, MN

Elena is the piano teacher for both of my kids (10 and 5). She has a unique way of teaching based on the kids’ capability and learning style. Without her patience, encouragement and various ways of inspiring and motivating, my two kids would not be enjoying music so much and take pride in playing piano.
