When the prices went up I found private lessons for half the price and instead of 30 minutes we get…read morean hour, when I asked to cancel I said we went with lessons elsewhere. Now I'm being charged fees for cancelling class when my child was ill. Other than the "late cancellation" charge of $50, and rising costs while being there less than a year, I have no complaints. Try at your own risk.

This place is pretty good, but pricey. There are no other options in Rio Rancho so they are the…read moreonly option though. My kids liked their teachers, but it seemed like a lot of money to see slow growth. Making up lessons was almost impossible due to the makeup times being when most kids are still in school (elementary schools in Rio get out at 4 but most of their makeups were at 4pm for example, so impossible to get to). And the one time we had a make up class on a Saturday they forgot about it so we waited but never got to do the makeup. When my oldest daughter started band at her school we decided to stop coming here. The place itself is cute and pretty. I would probably recommend to older children more than younger ones personally. Or maybe homeschooled children that don't have access to a band or orchestra program through a school.

This place was hard to get customer service and staff work attire was not worn to show they are staff.

My nephew was looking for a pedal but they were slim selection but the staff offered to order product but we declined.
