I've tried to do business with them and have never been successful. They declined a brass repair of mine at one of their instrument repair locations which is now closed, but was very unprofessional about it. Last week my 13 year old and I spent several days choosing a new trigger trombone for him stepping up from his entry level trombone. We ended up choosing one on the Willis Music website with his middle school band instructor's approval and placed the order with Willis online late one evening. This was one within our budget and checked all of our boxes plus it was new...we thought we were going to need to take our chances on a used model. Credit card was charged. I woke up the next morning to my son still super excited asking when it would arrive, and that he had already been awake two hours watching videos and reading about it. I was really excited for him. Later that morning I received an email that the order had been canceled and a refund would be issued with no alternatives offered. They said it had been discontinued, but the manufacturer still makes this model just with a new backpack style case which is the one they displayed in their listing. They ended offering to get us that same trombone we had purchased (because it wasn't discontinued), but it would be $600 more than I had paid on their website the night before. They also assured me this $600 additional was a great deal. Such a scam and a waste of time. They certainly don't attempt to make things right in any way...unreal let down for my son. I wouldn't trust them and especially their website/online ordering. This also had our budget tied up in the authorization on my card for a week. We ordered a used trigger trombone on eBay, and will be taking it to Mehas Music to have it checked out, cleaned and any repairs.

My wife and I have been sending our daughter to her throughout the summer. The results are incredible. The Riley Academy is a hidden Gem, that is definitely a great investment for your family. This service has improved our daughters reading skills and made her excited about learning. I will also note that this is based in Cincinnati and we live in Columbus, so the sessions have all been virtual. Brittany has formed a great connection with our 5 year old, to the point where she looks forward to these daily sessions. If you are eager to keep your child ahead, and excited about learning I would highly recommend this service as a compliment to any school program. We did 5 days per week throughout the summer, and plan to do weekend sessions throughout the school year. These services have been a blessing during this pandemic. Definitely worth the money and investment. Our daughter has done sessions both on the iPad and on the computer. Thank-you Brittany & The Riley Academy! We really appreciate what you have done for our daughter.
