I rented a violin from here in 2024 for my son and everyone has always been so kind. We're here at least once a week for the lessons. They really have great customer service. I've always a felt little bit intimidated by music as I have no musical background whatsoever and never tried to learn at age 40. Watching my son excel due to their support made me want to try an instrument, and naturally I immediately popped a string due to not knowing what the hell I was doing. They replaced my string for free and showed me how to restring it. I deal with Daniel, Veronica, and Jessica on a regular basis but the entire staff is very kind. I really recommend their rental program, it's pretty affordable. I'm only paying about $25/mo so I paid for 6 months up front.

We had the pleasure of purchasing a piano recently and the process couldn't have been smoother…read more Daniel was extremely professional, very responsive and so knowledgeable. The store had a good selection and we were happy with our choice. The delivery process was also super quick, professional and hassle free. After the piano was delivered, Daniel came over to make sure it sounds perfect. He was thorough and found a slight issue, which he spent a good half hour fixing. I'm so thankful for his time and expertise. We're very happy with the instrument we purchased because we definitely got it for a competitive price and are very pleased with the value. Thank you to Daniel and everyone involved in this exciting process for my family.

I've been here a few times now because my son decided that he's a ninja and flutes are made for…read moreninja stuff, so we had to get the flute fixed. One of his keys was bent and he had some dents on the instrument. I don't know if that's normal and if any other parents has gone through that, but man....... it's super expensive. Several times while paying for the instrument to get fixed I contemplated on trading the kid in for drums or something, heck... even a harmonica, but Nick Rail wasn't budging. They didn't want a kid that breaks instruments, so I was at a lost. Such a bummer. Having said that, Nick Rail did an amazing job getting all the kinks and ninja attacks out. The instrument looked new. It was bright and shiny once more. I probably haven't seen it in this shape since he first had gotten the instrument about 5yrs ago. Processing time of the instrument was a little delayed and didn't get fixed in a timely fashion, but overall I was happy with the fix. The staff was super friendly and very helpful. I also didn't know they actually give lessons inside, so if your child is a music enthusiast or even yourself, then check it out. I'm not too sure on pricing.

Students are allowed to experience the class how they wish. Some choose to stay on a lap, while others wander around the circle or room. Either way, they absorb everything! We get to sing songs from the semester's CD, use a variety of instruments such as egg shakers, bells, sticks, drums, scarves, as well as get up and dance. Then it's time for free instrument play, which is the favorite for most children. I have truly enjoyed watching my daughter grow musically while attending these classes. Now we have so much fun in the car or at home singing our songs and doing movements from class. Miss Pyper also came to my daughter's 2nd birthday party and did a music session for the kids. She brought instruments, and we sang songs that went along with the farm theme. She even made us a CD to keep that included a personalized Happy Birthday song! The kids and parents all enjoyed themselves, and we made great memories.
