When we moved to Florida in 2021, we knew noone but we found this GEM and are so thankful we did! We first began with our oldest daughter in piano with Mr. Cody, our middle in ukulele with Mrs. Stephanie and our youngest in Mom and me with Mrs. Kat! It wasn't long until we realized this was the place for us and we added more instruments! My girls have been able to learn multiple instruments, vocal techniques to further their giftings, and even learn to play collaboratively on a Christian band and the vocal ensemble group! We were also VERY blessed to have gone through and amazing, growing year of music therapy with Mrs. Kat! WOW! Through minds on music, our children have found community, LOVE for music like never before, confidence, stage presence, knowledge, purpose, and my oldest even found what she aspires to achieve in her career and she dreams of working as part of the dream team at MOM one day soon! I could never recommend this never studio quite enough!

My children started at Minds on Music in the Moms and Me class. We had such a great experience…read more Once my oldest was able to take piano, we enrolled him in it. He has been playing for about 10 years there. My daughter started with piano lessons. She tried the flute and then went back to the piano. She then went to drum lessons for a year. Mrs. Kelly and her staff are amazing. They truly care about the kids. It is an honor to now call her my friend. I would recommend Minds on Music to anyone, and everyone!!

I recently placed an order and request to be shipped and it arrived 2-3 days after. Affordable materials and good programs they offered. Now that ai have to visit the place, the service we received today was the same service we got when we first purchased the violin 2019. Very professional. They made it so easy. The string snap and we have to put a new one. They took care of it 15 without a fuss. Great job!!!

We bought a sax from them on the rent to own plan, and had no trouble getting the thing fixed as good as new (100% free under the rent to own plan) in just a couple days.

Music Mart is full of surprises. The store looks small from the outside, but inside it is…read morejam-packed with equipment. Most of the equipment is 6-string guitar-centric and bass guitar-centric, but there are many other instruments as well as tons of accessories. The staff is knowledgeable, and they aren't out for your money. They have no issues letting you test out their products. If they don't have a particular item in stock, they'll order it for you. I recently bought a quarter stack from them, and it was a pleasant experience doing business with them.

Educated me on recording stuff and explained where to spend a little more and where to cut back, for max quality from a meager budget. Please -- seriously -- don't tell ANYONE how great these people are. If word gets out the place will blow up. Lifetime beginners like me who are not cool, not wealthy, not famous, and definitely not talented, will no longer get past the door security.

I learned of this local music shop when I met the duo Top Hat & Jackie recently. They're talented…read moreand fun performers and Top Hat invited me to stop by his store here. Well the shop is very small with not much room inside, not a lot of instruments or inventory. It's a bit disheveled and honestly pretty funky. So if you're looking for a music store with selection and a shopping experience, this ain't it. However I bought some guitar strings and picks and scooted out as Top Hat was just starting a guitar lesson, which by the way took up half of the available floor space. He's a nice guy who's very friendly and I'll certainly support his locally owned and operated business any way possible but just calling it like it is. Bottom line: It's small but you can get some music supplies here from a good guy.

Very friendly and knowledgeable. If they don't have what you are looking for, they will find it.read more
