If you are looking for a friendly, helpful music environment, the American Music Centre is the place to go. In all of the Rochester area I have only found the following there: Friendly, helpful, honest treatment. They make you feel like you are the only important thing while you're there. Jimmie Jam and his staff are top notch in fitting you or your children to a correct instrument and lesson schedule with highly competent Instructors! I have found their prices to be very comparable, if not less than other musical sources and their knowledge will help you choose exactly the correct item(s) for your specific needs. Also, let me say that since I picked up the Clarinet again (at the age of 74), I have been taking lessons with them for a year now. The highly competent Instructors (who are all accomplished musicians in their own right) form an easy rapport with the students, and give more than just a "lesson", they actually teach the instrument, along with the theory (which is indispensable when learning any instrument). You could not get me to change Instructors or Stores for any amount of money. I highly recommend the American Music Centre as a music source to all of you. You will not be disappointed! read more

This place has truly blown me away, and I am a former guitar shop manager (not Guitar Center). The level of professionalism and friendliness that I have experienced with Jimmy at American Music Center has been unmatched by any other. He handled my purchase of a 1999 Ibanez Universe so well that I called him to search for a PRS Modern Eagle II for me, with some pretty exact specifications. I received a call 30 minutes later and he had located the perfect guitar in Miami. HE handled the price negotiations with the Miami location, HE assumed all risk in the shipping of the guitar, HE maintained constant and consistent communication with myself and the gentleman in Miami, and HE went above and beyond for me when I do not even live in the same state as his store. I live in the Dallas, TX area so he could have easily blown me and my PRS "needs" off. I could not be happier with this location and wish they were closer to my home. The people here treat you like family. 5 stars all the way. read more
