Good Life Music & Media Lessons - Tulsa Arts Academy

We are a Good Life Family. We have been for about 4 years and all what I have to say is the Caracas are awesome. This is a family-owned academy both Jim and Anji are not just talented musicians but high quality educators. They take care of small details and make every child to feel they are part of a family. I don't have enough words to thanks their dedication. If you are looking for a high quality place to build your child's skills this is the right place.

My boys have taken drums and several coding classes at this location. I can't recommend them enough! Having the recital last year on stage was such a treat and great experience for the kids. They offer SO much. Look them up online.

This place is super special! The owners make me and our kids feel like family. Love that the teachers are encouraging and see the potential in our kids when we don't sometimes! Thankful for Good Life!

I've been a musician for a number of years. One can never stop learning in music. Newly relocated to the Tulsa area, I accessed several piano/voice and guitar teachers/studios, but was met with a lack of professionalism, lack of professional preparation, experience and education. Until I went to Yelp, and found Good Life. This is the most complete, most professional ( in every way), most dedicated and educated staff that I have encountered in over 40 years of practicing music. This is the first studio ( in my experience) that can train you in digital music composition, as well as vocal, lyrical, and instrumental study at a world class level. Jim and Angi Korakis are amazing, competent, caring and possess the highest level of character and integrity. Simply, the best.

This place is by far the worse place I have ever taken my child to. The owner and also was my daughter's piano instructor, Jim, is disrespectful, hateful, two-faced, and is very unprofessional. He gets frustrated with his students easily. From around the beginning of when my daughter started lessons there, my daughter would tell me he made her feel very uncomfortable because he would show his frustrations with her. She wanted to leave, but did not want to disappoint her grandmother for quitting. We gave it a chance when we heard there was going to be another student that was going to be taking the lessons with her. It went ok until it was time for their 1st recital in Dec. My daughter's feelings were hurt when her instructor told her she wasn't good enough to play both hands for the recital and that she can only play with one. I texted them asking about it. During the conversation, the instructor thought it was funny to put the blame on her family. I asked my daughter about it and she said no and that the problem was with her instructor. At the recital, I don't know what the instructor had said to my daughter after she played, but she cried the rest of the night. I never saw any results from that place as far as teaching my daughter piano. My daughter does a lot better teaching herself to play piano by hearing than going there. 1st day back after New Year, I asked the instructor about all the missed lessons during the break. He explained it to me, information they refused to have mentioned at the beginning, which I was going to be ok with it, until he called his wife to ask how she wanted to handle the information. He said all kinds of horrible disrespectful unprofessional things about my daughter's grandpa in front of me and my daughter. Even though I called him out on it, he still continues to do so. He then handed me his phone to talk to his wife. I was furious with his behavior already, I sat his phone down on the counter and told my daughter she will not be coming back ever again. On my way out I told the instructor I don't need to talk to his wife and that he can have his phone back, it is on the counter. I walked out the door and he has the nerve to tell my daughter that her grandpa is low. Proud of my daughter for looking straight at him and told him, "My grandpa is not low, you are." After, he accused me of stealing his phone even though I told him loud and clear that his phone is on the counter. Then he slams the door behind us. I highly do not recommend anyone to this negative place. No child should be around a person like him.
