For…read moreexample, one day before a concert, a cello string came off due to normal wear and tear, and we reached out to Bertrand for help. Mr. Dennis G. understood the urgency of the situation and kindly assisted us in repairing the cello. In addition to the prompt service and kindness of the Bertrand team, our daughter's cello teacher, Mr. Elliot R., has been wonderful. He does an excellent job balancing encouragement with allowing each student the space to develop their own self-motivation to learn the cello. Overall, our family has been very happy with Bertrand at the Carmel Mountain-Rancho Peñasquitos location.

Bertrand's Music is a music store focused on "school band & orchestra sales, rentals, lessons, and…read morerepair," as stated on their website. Our middle school band teachers works with Bertrand's Music exclusively and I understand that they trust them. The store itself looks nice. They had some instruments for sale displayed, along with music books. They have rooms for lessons in the back. The parking lot is usually congested though and parking is not easy. Our experience is only with getting an instrument repair quote from them. I'm sure the lessons and rentals are just fine here, but we would not exactly recommend Bertrand's for repairs, especially if you weren't even referred to come here by your school band for an instrument that belongs to the school. They have to ship out the instrument somewhere off site to even give us a quote, and we had to wait ten business days just to hear back that the instrument was unsalvageable and not worth repairing. They were unable to provide us with any written detail of what exactly needed to be repaired and what the cost would be. I'm not sure why they do it like this, because it appears a bit unprofessional. If you're looking for someone to repair a specific instrument that you own, we don't think this is the perfect place to bring it. It would probably be best to find someone who specializes in repairing that instrument to do it on site. Repairs were just one aspect of their business and it's technically a relationship between the school band and Bertrand's, so it didn't bother us. The staff were very nice and accommodating, and we appreciated that. They provided us with a receipt that the school needed, and it was as simple as that. Thank you!

Emmanuel teaches various instruments to both adults and children, and he is very kind and so great in teaching and encouraging my son during lessons. Wile Emmanuel will choose certain songs and beats for learning purposes, he also allows my son to choose songs he wants to learn, and Emmanuel will even write out the music for the song if he doesn't already have it. Emmanuel is an amazing teacher and musician and because he can play multiple instruments, he will often play guitar along with a song my son is learning, which is not only a lot of fun for my son but helps with his drumming. If you are looking for drumming or guitar lessons, this is the place to go to!

He also joined a US Music Lessons rockband that has an instructor. A convenient factor is that you can do lessons online if your kid is feeling under the weather or you are out of town.

Ignacio was very knowledgeable, attentive and patient in helping us navigate the many selections! We appreciate that he was honest to help us find the right piano and not to upsell. The entire experience was easy, smooth and stress-free. The showroom was clean, beautiful with many piano options that you could test. You could smell the wood finishes as you walk in and there is a great kids play area to keep young kids entertained! Highly recommend Greene Music for your piano purchase and thank you Ignacio for the great experience!

From the moment I walked in, he was welcoming and knowledgeable -- which made such an important purchase feel easy and enjoyable. Ignacio took the time to understand what I was looking for, patiently answered all my questions, and guided me through several options so I could really hear and feel the differences between instruments. His expertise was clear, and I truly appreciated his honesty and attention to detail. He made sure I felt confident in my decision rather than rushed. The showroom was beautiful, the selection was excellent, and the entire process -- from choosing the piano to delivery and setup -- was smooth and professional. If you're in the market for a piano, I highly recommend this place and especially Ignacio. Exceptional service, quality instruments, and people who genuinely care about helping you find the perfect fit. Five stars all the way!

I started taking my daughter to Musical Children in January of 2013 when she was just over a year…read moreold. We have been going once a week for class for the past six months and my daughter has really gained a love of music, movement and a variety of instruments that are provided. The teacher Miss Carol has a wealth of knowledge about music and she shares her passion for music with everyone. When you sign up for the 16 week class you get a song book and a CD. We listen to the CD over and over and my daughter loves to dance to it. At each class we get to use a variety of musical instruments and we also sing along with little board books. Miss Carol shares with us her great love of Children's books too and she has a whole wall of books displayed and she will share with you about her favorites. I like how all of the instruments get sanitized after it has gone into a child's mouth. Miss Carol is very strict with her rules in the classroom, but as a former teacher myself, I can really appreciate her running a tight ship. I would definitely recommend Musical Children to any friends that have young children.

I enjoyed the time mostly because my daughter laughed, smiled, sang, danced and learned. I also appreciated the fast pace of activity and songs. Daddies seem to enjoy it, too. The cost of the class covers a 'semester' of classes (one day a week), musical CD and song book. Priority for time and day of sign-ups is given to current attendees. There are separate sign-up days for current parents/kids and new parents/kids. Don't delay in signing up as these classes offered 6 days a week (morn', noon, nite) fill up incredibly fast. Another bonus is second child in family is FREE! Ms. Carol Cesena is an experienced music teacher. She is inspirational and knowledgable. She keeps the studio incredibly clean and organized. No shoes inside, parents help in washing toys when babies suck on them, and small talk is kept to a minimum to keep the focus on our kids! My daughter and I attended together beginning when she was six months old. She is now 2 1/2 and in Pre-School so we don't go anymore but we really miss Ms. Carol, the class, and our friends!
