I really wanted to have a positive experience with Music Makers Workshops, but unfortunately that…read morehasn't been the case so far. I have personally visited their location three separate times during their posted hours of operation to ask questions about their workshops, and each time the door has been locked. What made this more frustrating is that there were no signs posted indicating holidays, special events, temporary closures, or when they would reopen. No notice on the door, no explanation--just locked up. As someone genuinely interested in learning more about their programs, it felt discouraging to make multiple trips with no information or communication available. I think this business has potential, but better communication would go a long way. Updating hours online, posting signage, or providing some form of notice would help customers avoid wasted trips and confusion. Hopefully this feedback helps improve the customer experience moving forward.

If you want a voice teacher that makes you run scales on a piano for an hour and then charge you an arm and leg, then Michael is not for you. The people who left negative reviews are insane. His policies are transparent and ALL OVER his materials and website. He's never canceled on me and has always been accommodating.

I found Michael Daniel to not only be a good voice teacher but a great coach. When I first started…read morewith Michael I had potential and his no nonsense style coaching of vocal drills led me to knowing exactly what to do at home to keep getting better. While it's true many tools can be found on Youtube, Michael gives you in the moment feedback to ensure you are practicing correctly and developing powerful, useful habits. Using his tools and guidance, I made great progress that led to my first recording for a personalized affirmation song client who paid over $1000 for a song. Our voices are our instruments as a vocalist and after combining what I learned from Michael Daniel with opening my body through yoga and learning to ground myself better...my voice really took off. Applying what I learned from Michael, I've had the confidence to sing in front of over 1000 people at once, sing at house concerts and start a personalized affirmation song service. Michael may not seem like your sunshine and flowers teacher per some of the other reviews BUT if you're serious about practice and advancing yourself, Michael Daniel can get you a long way. Also, if your first session is much spent reviewing an action plan, consider sticking with it. Good things come to those who focus on the principals of success and I found Daniel to do so with what he teaches in lesson.

Bruce suggested that he could simply replace the "nut" which elevates the strings above the frets. Well, bingo he was right. Saved me some serious $.

Everyone I spoke to was really nice, and I was able to get my flute serviced quickly. The instrument repair person is there on Wednesdays and Saturdays. They did a pretty good job, but definitely didn't polish my flute, which I was kind of disappointed about, especially since I asked it to be thoroughly cleaned (this was also indicated on my service ticket they typed up). I was able to polish it myself after I got it back with a silver polishing cloth that I had to purchase. They have a huge variety of instruments, accessories, and books! It does seem to be more catered to guitars/percussion, but they still had a decent selection for woodwinds and brass. They also have tons of teachers that do private lessons. I will definitely be returning if I need anymore repairs done, as they did a nice job with those!

Very fascinating & if you walk through the back hallway of the store, you will see many photos of the various artists & celebrities who have visited this amazing music store! I'm a drummer so I will definitely return when I need something. I invite you to check this place out & say hello to my new friend Jon. Once you visit Milano's, you become part of the family!

Guitars are largely in the…read moreFender and Gibson realm; a huge variety of them, but limited other selections and not so many alternate brands. They try to do much in a limited space, and mostly, that works. Their wind and violin/viola/cello/bass/etc space is really nice, and their acoustical guitar and bass sections are strong. The keyboards area is sort of scrunched together but top brands and a bit of variety. I liked their synths, although not a crazy variety. Prices I heard seemed a bit higher, but there is added value here, too. Huge sheet music section. Much wind instrument variety, as well as mouthpieces, reeds/ligatures/etc. It has the widest and broadest inventory I've seen in Arizona. Worth a visit; musicians will appreciate the variety.

I had to take it back when I changed the strings putting everything back the same way only to have the buzzing come back. second problem was the volume on the pick up was very low so I took it back. I was told by the tech that he couldn't do anything with it and doubt if the company would send a replace part. the guitar was manufactured in France so I guess he just didn't want to be bothered. I contacted the manufacturer and they sent the part with detailed instructions how to remove the old one and replace i. I did it myself taking about 30 minutes. i own a few guitars amp and other equipment i purchased from Guitar Center but never again. I had a pleasant experience years ago when I had a pickup installed on my Martin Guitar but that was a totally different luther.
