Wonderful staff with Christian values! This location is a neighborhood local gem! I've met so many…read moreparents and kids that pass through for lessons. The locals are really friendly and sweet. They say great things about Southtown and shared how they have been in this neighborhood for quite some time. Just yesterday I was speaking to a parent and she had been bringing her kids for over 5 years! Kendra is on staff and I believe the manager there. She is very knowledgeable, fun, and accommodating to all the guests that come through. She doesn't shy away from letting you try any instrument in the store. Dean is also on staff and he is very helpful. No, I mean like, very very out of this world helpful! We actually chatted through Thumbtack to get things arrangeds for my daughters piano lessons. I wanted in home, but he was determined to find a teacher that would be the best fit for our schedule and needs. Here's a little secret about Southtown. I had an experience with a guitarist I found through a Groupon deal at Southtown. It discouraged me a little from playing. But Kendra and Dean really redeemed themselves. They don't know this, which is why I can say their service is genuinely from the heart of caring about sharing their passion for music. Thank you Southtown!

Just returned from Southtown Guitar store which is now within the Meijer grocery store on Alpine…read moreAvenue. I had to get the high E string replaced. Dean not only recommended the right string (costs only $1) but also put it on my guitar free of charge. Such a genuinely sweet guy. He has a free 30 mins session which I think I will try out soon. And the guitar cum music lesson store is so brightly lit and well organized. I wish Dean all the best and recommend this place to everybody.

I came in with my husband who recommended this place to my son who owns many guitars. We actually…read morecame in with the intention of buying him another. He asked the salesman if he could play the guitar that was one if the more expensive guitars. The guy, who by the way looked like he crawled from under a bridge with a heroine needle in his arm asked him if he planned on buying it. My son who immediately decided, oh I'm being judged by my appearance told him not today. He was then told no you cannot play this guitar. So I wondered if any of the older white customers would have asked if they would have been asked the same question. My son went to Sweetwater and was handed with a smile any guitar, at any price that he wanted to play. So how dare the meth head behind the counter look at us and decide we couldn't afford anything in your store. Your small minded staff is a great credit to why you will stay small. I will be to let everyone I know to avoid coming here. I guess if your a person of color there is no way you can afford to buy a guitar in your store.

My family is really enjoying the Academy of Music. Our 9 year old son has been getting piano…read morelessons there for over a year. We have been very pleased with the lessons and his teacher. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The recitals were run very efficiently and were set up well for the families to enjoy their children's performances. The waiting areas are comfortable. You can hear the practicing students in the rooms and if you sit near your child's room you can hear him or her practicing. The music fills the air and it's enjoyable to us. If we pursue other instruments for our son to play or are interested in voice lessons, our son has said he would love to have lessons at the Academy of Music.

My family loves guitar so we tried new lessons and we loved it. We will be coming back.read more

Four months later it was still not fixed.
