We paid for 30 min piano for my 5 year old once a week. If my son didn't love his teacher, I would…read morehave cancelled sooner since they are worse than your average doctor's office. Back to back lessons with other students where we never get the full 30 minutes. She also just taught out of a lesson book from Amazon so if the lesson of the week only took 10 minutes, she would end the class early. Since my son is a beginner I can teach him from this book. She should have just taught as many pages as she could fit in especially since my son understood the concepts. Not worth $140 a month at all.

He walked us through the possibilities which eventually led us to have the new system installed that would meet our needs. The installation crew was professional and completed the job on time. It is wonderful to have a system that accomplished our goal. He followed up to make sure all was going well. I highly recommend using their service for any of you AVL needs.

When I'm ready for additional or upgraded equipment, I will definitely seek him out!

Ms. Smaga pays attention not only to whether the notes my son plays are correct, but also to how he is playing, and all the other little details of how he approaches the piano, even from the first lesson. She provides him with useful exercises to develop his technique, and treats him like an equal. She is serious, but also fun. We love her.

The choices and the value are so fantastic. And how he knows where everything is shocks me every time! Treat yourself!

Can I give negative stars? We tried to use this company for lessons in August; however after…read morepaying for 4 lessons the local store had no record of the lessons. I was able to get my money back. Fast forward 8 months later. Tuesday I was charged $184 four times for lessons I did not request or authorize. Customer service would t help me stating they don't deal with billing. They would not connect with with anyone who could and said I needed to call the store - hung up on me. I called the store and had to leave a message for the manager to call me back. Have not received a call back. Today, I was charged $920 dollars for online lessons that I did not order or authorize. I called the store again, and was told several people have had similar issues this week and that it may not be corrected until next Friday (8 days later). This is unacceptable - I am disputing charges through my bank and have cancelled my card so no further transactions can go through.See less

A solid business deal; ideal if they sell. Sad to let go but good things end too, just like us. Only drawback was the location, a trademark Tacoma style spot to this "northerner". The fact that St Helens Street splits by design was strange and unsettling. To the owner the location is prime property even next to the tavern dive next door. It works for him. No knocks, since parking was in front at no cost. Try that elsewhere! A great deal for guitar and band fans. Need more of these elsewhere in the vicinity.
