Rochester Pro Music is your typical local music store…read more They have a good number of electric, acoustic and bass guitars from common brands like Fender, Ibanez, Les Paul, etc... As well as a good selection of pedals and amps. As would be expected, they also sell PA equipment, drums and mixers, as well as a pretty hefty selection of used gear. The store also has six (I believe) teaching rooms, and a number of guitar and bass teachers. My former guitar teacher is now working there. As expected, they do repairs on musical equipment. There are a couple of reasons I am giving them four stars instead of five: 1)Their pricing isn't too competitive. 2)The owner does not like "random jamming" on the guitars, because they wear on them a bit. While this is a perfectly valid point, every other music shop I've been to will let anybody borrow a cable and pick and play with their guitars whenever they want. Why? Because they'll buy sooner or later. 3)The brother of one of my neighbors bought a Les Paul guitar there, and brought it in for service on something that was under warranty, and they would not honor the warranty. While I certainly don't know the whole situation, it's still something to consider.

Every time I have a musician buddy in town we go to that store. I never leave empty-handed. I've bought my soundboard. All my strings. You name it whatever I need. I've gotten it from there. Everyone has been great. Until today. my buddy is in town and he is a fantastic country artist. I took him up to show him the ultra or the Texas T as I call it. I planned on buying this guitar. I planned on getting it soon. I've been saving up for it. The guy working the counter was just very dismissive of us. I didn't recognize him . I don't think he's ever been in there whenever I've gone up there before. Today I needed some new cables. I'd get a new condenser microphone, but they only had these cheap little things that aren't worth recording vocals on. So I was gonna leave the store with some XLR cables and a 3.5 splitter that I needed. He had them sitting on the counter for me. I should note I am blind. my buddy and I had moved into the acoustic room and just started playing a song when he came in and ran us off. I didn't have a guitar in my hand for more than two minutes. And he said that there was some rule that only 10 minutes were allowed in total to play any guitar in the store. Which I know is not true. I've been in there for over an hour playing on guitars and never been ran off. This dude was super disrespectful and I left the store empty-handed. I don't think I'm ever gonna go back. Which sucks to say because it was convenient and usually nice in there. The owner is a good guy. I hate that this happened. But I won't tolerate disrespect. i'll just go to guitar center or stick with Logan over at rock bottom.

We wanted a teacher who was a good fit, so asked about trial. It's a PAID trial, but in my opinion very worth while to make sure it's a fit for both instructor and student. My son liked the instructor very much. When I called to enroll, I was told we had to pay an "enrollment fee". However, the offer online was NO enrollment fee and FREE book for summer classes. The owner told me it ONLY applies to families that don't do a trial lesson. Because I had a complimentary trial, I DO have to pay enrollment fee and buy all books. I'm not a fan of bate and switch. I looked back at the offer and it didn't say anything about paid trials disqualifying the offer. How is the trial complementary if we paid full price for it...... Needless to say, we went just down the street for a true free trial and are making pure rock music with a much better music school that has many more instructors, more economical rates and are honest!! I can't in good faith recommend this music school.

Such a great place for music lessons! We are having so much fun learning the guitar. Thank you!read more
