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!!

Buyer beware. Purchasing lessons at this studio guarantees you only the "option" of a lesson. After…read moresigning my daughter up for music camp recommended by the school and its instructors, this school completely abandoned her and support of her musical endeavors after we requested make up lessons she missed due to the camp. In addition, they had provided make up lessons prior to this particular event but now claim that was just a "courtesy".

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!!!

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.

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.
