Since then, he tunes 2 baby grand pianos for me regularly. He is by far the most accomplished and professional piano technician I have ever had the opportunity to meet and work with. His knowledge of piano mechanisms, regardless of make, is second to none. Furthermore, the patience with which he works to disassemble, repair, and tune pianos shows how much he truly cares to deliver the best possible service. Yet, most importantly, he has an auditory palate that allows him to make my '80s Schaffer & Sons baby grand piano sing like a Yamaha after multiple sessions of regulation and tuning. The value he delivers is unparalleled.

He was recommended to us by a friend and we couldn't be happier with his services. He is a professional, tall, trusting, dapper man and is very accommodating and attentive to what the bride and groom want played at their wedding. Mike is an experienced DJ who frequently plays at LA bars, clubs, restaurants, namely Wurstkuche. His equipment is top notch and you can trust him to be ready to go once he arrives at your venue. He also has a popping SoundCloud page you should check out if you need more convincing. We met with him one many months before our wedding and came out very confident with our choice. Our wedding crowd had a mix of people in their teens, 20s, 30s, 50s, 60s, etc. so we knew we needed a balanced mix to cater to everyone. Since Mike is a pro he navigated that really well on our big day. The seniors had their salsa/ballroom music, and the kids had their modern/90s hip hop, edm, pop jams. Overall everyone was on their feet most of the night and had a great time. Now he's booked for my sister-in-law's wedding later this year. Can't wait to dance to the tunes of DJ Exxxplosivo again!

Días después, me dijeron que cometieron un error y que la fecha ya no estaba disponible. Esto me dejó buscando reemplazo a última hora.

English: I trusted this band after they confirmed my event date was secured. I even followed up, and they reassured me it was reserved. Days later, they told me they made a mistake and the date was no longer available. This left me scrambling to find a replacement at the last minute. Communication was poor, and I didn't feel they took accountability for the inconvenience caused. I would not recommend them to anyone looking for dependable service. Your event deserves better.

I've been working with DREW for the past six months and have learned more in that time than I have…read morethe past 40 years. Part of that has to do with having the bandwidth to practice consistently - a little bit every day. More importantly, DREW's teaching style lines well with my learning style - he's extremely patient and communicates with precision and clarity; his instruction sheets (which I laminate and keep in a binder) are equally clear and helpful. I find all the lessons fit together in a way that continually reinforces the theory and techniques learned along the way.

Part of his focus was to push me to define my motivation, so he could focus on the things I really wanted to learn. He tailored the lesson to my beginning guitar level, but also encouraged me to discover things I didn't think I could accomplish. He doesn't give hollow praise or tell you you're awesome when you're not, which I appreciate, but he makes you feel secure and encouraged to try even if you make mistakes (Which is all part of the process!), and soon you're making progress faster than you originally thought you could! He clearly has lots of experience teaching guitar and is very knowledgable about music theory if you want to learn it. That said, he can put all theory and technical jargon aside if you want; he completely customizes your guitar lesson to your goals. The lessons never feel rushed and I can achieve higher levels of play without feeling stressed and I highly recommend him to be your guitar teacher!

Had interviewed 10 potential 80s bands and chose the Pac-Men based on how easy they were to deal with from the very first call and their prompt follow-up.

Throughout the entire process, their primary contact (and head singer I might add) Ray was professional, courteous, and had excellent follow-up on every question that I had.

This is a review for the camp only. Some things to know if you put your child in their camp. I…read moredon't usually like to post negative reviews but I do want other parents to know about the following things so they can be aware. 1) On their camp advertisements they mention instruction in many different instruments. What isn't specified is that they only have a couple different instruments to learn on if your child does not own that instrument themselves. So unless your kid has their own Oboe, Cello, Flute etc they can't get lessons. I think they have guitar and violin on hand. Thus, i would not recommend this place for a summer intro to an instrument unless you own said instrument or you double check they have your instrument ahead of time. They will say it's on the paperwork the child needs to bring their own instrument but they don't send you that paperwork until the night before camp starts. 2) They watch a movie every single day. I don't think any parent wants their kid watching tv every day at a camp they pay good money for. Why not have other activities for the kids for breaks from music? Maybe Let them run around in the park longer, or play some games, or talk amongst themselves and make a friend. Another note about the movie watching -- they show the kids PG13 movies. And if your kid isn't allowed to watch PG13 movies they will sit your chilld with the much younger children and watch a disney movie or cartoon. This is not great for those kids 7-11 whose parents may not want their kids watching PG13 movies but also don't want their kid to feel humiliated watching cartoons with much younger kids and not being around their peers in their age group. When my child was there, there were no kids ages 13 and up so it was baffling to me that they were catering to the kids whose parents allowed their young children to watch PG-13 movies.
