She has been a part of several amazing bands through Jampro, playing both at their awesome on-site stage and at festivals and businesses here in town. The improvement in her musical talents has been a beautiful and impressive journey that continues to leave me in awe. All of the teachers have been excellent and top caliber musicians themselves. Jampro often served as a safe space for my daughter during some difficult times through the years. They treated her like family and I will forever be grateful. The facility is top notch and every thing you'd expect from a high end studio and more. They even have courses to learn audio production and DJ. I invite anyone to take a tour as you will be wowed by all they offer. The programs are not cheap, but I've found them to be worth every penny and a truly worthy investment in my daughter.

Would you believe that in that same 10,000 sq. ft. facility there's a 500 person capacity theater with a performance stage decked out with state-of-the-art lights, smoke, and sound that's used to host special events and provide student bands with the real deal experience of playing before a live audience? What about if I told you they also had a full scale production lab where you can learn how to produce music and even learn how to DJ on the best digital turntables available? And last but not least, would you believe me if I told you they also have a music retail store with everything you could possibly want or need, including exclusive brands of effects pedals and other equipment? Welcome to Jampro Music Factory. This is seriously a place like no other, with no detail spared, and a passion for providing the best music education experience you can imagine. Close your eyes and picture the quintessential Hollywood recording studio, complete with wood floors, beautifully decorated walls, and big open windows to see what's going on, and that's what you'll find at Jampro. To me it seems like the new businesses that have opened in the last year have really done a lot to elevate the standards of our community. From bars and restaurants, to our local farmers and artisans, and everything in between. It seems like each week I learn about one more business adding to this momentum, and this past week, it was Jampro Music Factory. Thanks to Robert and Ly S., their Yelp photos, check-ins, and reviews, I now know what it's all about and I can't wait to return!

Proverbs 3:27 "Do not withhold good from those to whom it is due, when it is in your power to act."…read more Over the decades I've noticed that many non-profits boast about helping Veterans or seniors or disabled, than fail at helping A Veteran, A senior or A disabled. Not so with national non-profit Rebuilding Together, formerly known as Christmas in April, as I've saw at their Rebuilding Together Day events I've attended in Northern California and Northern Nevada. There's no place like (a safe and accessible) home. April is National Rebuilding Month and National Rebuilding Day is a day set aside annually to bring local communities together in the effort to assist low-income homeowners in need of home repairs, maintenance and small improvements. It's observed on the last Saturday of April. 30 April 2022, I attended two National Rebuilding Day events hosted by Rebuilding Together Northern Nevada. Shazam! Here I saw a salient way, both the anchor and the pixie dust, to save and help seniors and disabled at the same time. Because none more cherished in a senior's or disabled life than those who lighten the burdens of a senior or disabled from age and / or disability / limited fixed income. Chance favors the prepared mind. This non-profit was great at being prepared. I started the day at one event location and ended it at the other event location. Although it was clear its Board of Directors, Executive Director and staff were new to their jobs, it was just as equally clear they all had meaningful transferable skills and are quick learners. They did an admirable job for National Rebuilding Day 2022 in Reno and Sparks, Nevada. Rebuilding Together Northern Nevada had chosen two homes, they were organized and prepared, put up banners, assembled some couple hundred volunteers, brought in donated equipment, supplies and materials, provided no-charge water and lunch to volunteers, and accomplished a LOT of no-charge to the homeowner home repairs, maintenance and small improvements, all at each home in one day. Wow. What was particularly heartwarming to me as was that the two homes chosen were the homes of two different individual Veterans, AND that each Veteran was elderly and disabled. It brought tears to my eyes to see just how up close and personal Rebuilding Together Northern Nevada was with each individual Veteran at their home. Truth is the highest virtue, but higher still is truthful living. --Sikh Guru Nanak. Something snollygoster George Santos lacks. This non-profit did what they're in business to do and delivered what they advertise. No one here offered to commit fraud to reward us, pay us or compensate us for posting 5 star reviews of this business. Good intentions only go so far. To truly help others, you have to take action in some way. Similarly, you have to be active in your faith in order for it to be truly meaningful. It is business such as Rebuilding Together Northern Nevada that are on the front lines of fighting to reduce the staggering and horrifying number of Veterans, seniors and disabled who daily succumb to suicide. Veterans succumb to suicide at twice the rate of non-Veterans. In Nevada, Veterans succumbing to suicide is a staggeringly 74% higher that that already horrific rate. Older adults make up 12% of the US population, but account for 18% of all suicide deaths. CDC also reports adults with disabilities were 3 1/2 times more likely to report suicidal ideation in the past month compared to persons without disabilities. A little consideration, a little thought for others, makes all the difference. -- Eeyore Rebuilding Together Northern Nevada is always in need of money and volunteers because they EVERYDAY are repairing, maintaining and improving Veteran, seniors and disabled homes; NOT just during National Rebuilding Month or National Rebuilding Day. https://www.facebook.com/ReBuilderNNV/ Only issue was that in my checking back with these Veterans, there were some warranty issues that still needed fixed months later. Probably because they need more volunteers.

They unfortunately did not tell me they moved, so I first drove to the wrong location.

The staff were all very sweet and the teachers did such a great job with the kids. I got to watch the class from a window in the hall which was nice. The teachers were patient and gentle with all of the kids and my daughter seemed to have a wonderful time. Can't wait to be back!
