    RiverCity Rock Star Academy

    RiverCity Rock Star Academy

    (2 reviews)

    We love everything about RiverCity Rock Star Academy!…read more My daughter is about to start her 4th program with them, the Saturday Rockers. These programs run each season, with summer being a bit shorter than the others. She takes electric guitar lessons in the program, which teaches students not only how to play their instruments but also how to play together as a band. Each session includes one-on-one private lessons (which can be done anytime), then 2-hour band lessons (on Saturday in our case). So some students are learning guitar, others doing drums, bass, keyboard, or taking vocal lessons. They select a playlist of songs they want to learn and rehearse together, with full support from the instructors every step of the way. At the end of each program, they perform live in front of an audience. Sometimes it's mostly parents, other times they do shows in town, like at The Barn or Grand Theater. It's been very motivating for my daughter, and I started taking private lessons there myself recently. Every staff member and instructor genuinely cares about the success, safety, and satisfaction of the students and it shows. I think the pricing is very reasonable for everything you get, and there's not many places that do anything like this. It's a great location, too, because they can really play loud without disturbing anyone, yet it's also very close to downtown and lots of little restaurants to check out nearby. From the front, it may look small but once you go inside you and see how many rooms the place has, you'll see it's actually very spacious inside. There's also a good selection of guitars and gear to buy, with no pressure and very helpful staff. Check out their website and social media, or stop by and give them a try!

    Am I the first person to review RiverCity Rock Star Academy on Yelp? That would be my honor…read more Why is a guy from Chicago raving about RiverCity Rock Star Academy? I could list 3 things but I'll focus on the third point. I purchased a beautiful white/white Jet JS-400 Guitar from Oregon, long distance. That process went great. 1) Timely updates in email. 2) Wonderfully packed. 3) Great SETUP of the guitar. I took the guitar out of the box and it was flawless. I tuned it, that was simple. The guitar played great out of the box. Normally you need to spend $50 getting a guitar "set up". Putting on new strings and making sure the "action" isn't too high. The "action" on my new Jet Guitar JS-400 was perfect. Let's call it medium. Too high and it's hard for a beginner to press down guitar strings. Strings too low and you get "fret buzz". My Jet guitar from RiverCity Rock Star Academy played great out of the box. Her Slovenian name is "Bela" pronounced "bay luh". (Jet Guitars are owned by Slovenians.) RiverCity Rock Star Academy staff are wonderful. Buy a guitar from them locally or long distance. Best Wishes from Chicago, IL Richard

He answered all her questions and offered suggestions. Unfortunately, we didn't buy anything. I have no issues coming back when she's ready. Watching them work on the instruments in the back was interesting. The care that was shown is not an everyday occurrence. This store and its employees are a hidden gem!

On June 3, 2020 I took my daughter's play guitar that I purchase on Amazon for 17.99 to the Troubadour. The owner/ front guy is old school customer service where he enjoys getting to know the customers. After a 15 minute chit chat he tells me that all strings would need to replaced. I asked for total co$t and he said it would be $11.50 for the package of strings and $20 installation. When I picked it up the next day he gives me a quote of $56 !!!! "For what?" I asked. "Gas and oil, you know things have gotten expensive. Especially kids stuff." I stared at him and said "I really do not understand the gas & oil part. Sounds outrageous!" He said he would give me a discount from $56 to $49. I paid the $49 and went to get a 2nd & 3rd of opinion on cost. Both other places quoted me $20 and no "gas & oil" cost. I am all about supporting local business, but when you get reaped off by local vendors it makes it hard to support them. Corvallis is not a big place and variety is limited. But extorting locals is not the way to keep your business open.
