A different luthier had tried to correct it, but probably did more damage than good. Chris and company swiftly and correctly diagnosed a number of problems and fixed them all. The guitar, of great sentimental and professional value to me, came back in better shape than it had ever been. The quality of the work is unmatched, and the rapid turn around time was startling. This is a top-notch outfit, and really personable to boot. Hod Rod 6 Strings is my one and only shop for all things guitar from now on.

He has a comfortable little space for lessons, with flexible class times, and various pricing packages. The flexible class times are a huge selling point for me as a busy, working professional who may not be able to attend the same class time/day week in and week out. Mark does a fantastic job of breaking down complex concepts into easily consumable learnings to expedite your results/progress. In addition to being an excellent teacher, he graciously helped me navigate the guitar buying process, when I was ready, to make sure that I was getting something that suited my needs, and not overpaying for it. If that isn't enough, he's still active on the local gig circuit and performs fairly regularly, talk about a guy who walks the walk!

I was a piano student at Edgewood from elementary school all the way until my high school…read moregraduation. While I disliked practicing at home, I fully appreciate the valuable lessons learned at Edgewood. Edgewood Music Studio employs extremely talented and knowledgeable teachers who work well in identifying student's weaknesses and develop techniques in order to help improve them. The teachers are extremely flexible in scheduling. In the nine years I went there, I rarely had a canceled lesson, and in the event my teacher could not be there, a suitable substitute was available. The director, Joan (who was also my teacher), holds lessons at her house. In addition to an annual recital, we had regular master classes so we could socialize with other students and hear them play. Joan pushes her students to the best of their abilities (we had to memorize our recital pieces). Joan did a great job in customizing a lesson plan with me. I started off with the Alfred Music books, which were divided into levels (1A/1B through 6). Each level progressively got more challenging. Once the I learned basic concepts in different styles of music, a classical component was introduced, and I was given more chord and note exercises to improve technique (I did Hanon's Virtuoso Pianist in 60 Exercises, which got more challenging each week). Students were also required to complete weekly theory exercises in order to retain new concepts.
