I took guitar lessons for several months with Tedd and I had an exceptional experience each week. Tedd was structured, very observant of my personal aspirations, and molded each lesson to suit my strengths and areas of improvement. He introduced me to so many different techniques and styles; it goes without saying that I learned a LOT. Above all, Tedd's enthusiasm for guitar playing was highly contagious and encouraging! All of the instructors at LPM are extremely hospitable and I always looked forward to my many laughs with Tedd, Jamaal, and Anne! Had I not moved I would have certainly continued my lessons with Tedd at LPM. Thank you all!!

Because of that( thanks to that?) , we heard about Let's Play Music from another mom who was thinking to transferring her kid out from Levin too.

Let's play music offer the best price and flexible schedules in Falls Church. We are so blessed to have him. Thank you Tedd!

When I purchased my first brand new clarinet from Foxes, the staff was very accommodating of my…read morequestions and allowed me to look at several different ones ones before I came to a decision, giving me a very reasonable price below MSRP. Later when my clarinet developed cracks while breaking it in they offered to replace it instead of having me wait for them to send it back to the manufacturer for repair. The customer service I received has been excellent and as such they are my first choice for music instrument needs. They also have a large selection of sheet music for various instruments and you can spend a lot of time just browsing their selection. Because of this I absolutely recommend them. On top of the great service and selection they provide, they are a local business that I am proud to support and encourage others to do likewise.

The staff there are very helpful from the earliest beginnings of your musical journey and continue to be there through adulthood. I've been a customer since before I became a parent, and I've bought multiple instruments for me and my now adult children. Foxes has everything from beginner instruments to vintage professional instruments. On top of having great inventory of instruments, music and accessories, Foxes Music is very generous with helping out our local schools in need. I highly recommend Foxes Music!

They are amazing and make everyone feel welcome! I stop by time to time to browse and purchase items or get service done. I would highly recommend as I was expecting a restring of an acoustic and a small electric guitar repair to take a few weeks but I was in and out in under 30 minutes. I really have to thank Mr. Matt and the rest of the incredible staff. It makes me want to continue my music journey and come back very often. A big plus is their location now. Parking is ample and signage is clear!

**Outstanding Customer Service -- Thank You, Melody!**…read more I had an absolutely outstanding experience at the Guitar Center on Arlington Blvd in Falls Church, and the reason was **Melody Diaz**. I came in with a general idea of what I needed, but I wasn't completely sure what would work best to connect my subwoofer with my Fender PA system. Melody was incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and customer-focused. Instead of simply trying to sell me something, she took the time to listen, understand what I was trying to accomplish, and help me figure out what I actually needed. What impressed me even more was that when I mentioned I was considering upgrading my system in the future, Melody walked me through several options and gave me some great recommendations to consider when I'm ready. There was no pressure--just knowledgeable, professional advice focused on what would work best for me. That level of customer service is becoming harder to find, and Melody represents it exceptionally well. **As long as Melody is there, Guitar Center in Falls Church will be my first stop whenever I have an audio equipment question or need.** She turned what could have been a frustrating shopping experience into a truly 5-star experience. Thank you, Melody! Guitar Center is fortunate to have you on their team.

I won't go into the details, but definitely not the same energy I received from the Alexandria location.

One male teacher made my 12yo daughter feel so uncomfortable that we had to end the lessons. Another would just forget to come sometimes. The value is limited because their policy around rescheduling is so restrictive, even while their own instructors regularly move or cancel sessions.

Even though it is convenient to have lessons in your home, the instructors weren't good enough to make this worth it over time.
