We have been taking our 3 sons to Rick for 2 years now, after having at least 3 different guitar…read moreteachers. My only regret is that we did not start going to him sooner! He is extremely knowledgeable and experienced, and always comes to our lessons prepared - often having to go hunt down some music or research some far out question one of my boys has asked. Each of my boys has different tastes in music and different ways that they learn, and Rick readily adapts to to their likes and learning styles. He easily switches back and forth between the son who plays by reading music and the two who prefer tab. If they want to journey into the depths of music theory, he teaches them that too. He encourages them when they need it and pushes them to be better. He makes sure the son who just does it for fun is moving along and having fun, and works at an accelerated rate with the one who is obsessed and eats and sleeps guitar. He tries to get them to branch out and stay well-rounded as guitar players. Every minute of our lessons is used (which is a god-send after having one teacher who spent the majority of each lesson talking about himself or sitting on his computer finding the music for whatever they wanted to learn). I cannot recommend Rick enough!

Not an old ladies house teaching old school tunes with no advancement, or a fancy place that charges you an arm and a leg for lessons. Mila teaches out of a super cute studio, she is so kind and patient and actually expresses a genuine interest in your learning. I really like that she has an educational university level background in Piano and Music and doesn't just teach you piano songs back to back. (Like the teachers I had growing up). She delves into music theory, history, composition, form, sight reading, ear training etc. it really makes the learning effective and long term. She continuously updates her curriculums to new techniques and keeps up with modern pieces. She even offers educational music group classes for toddlers while also ranging to adult students. She is very organized has great communication, not sure what the other review was talking about, they probably just didn't read her payment setup which is super easy and convenient. She stays up to date with all of her students and will always answer questions about her policies. I have learned so much from Mila, she is an incredible piano teacher.

The Martin Jr in stock was hanging with the other guitars was ready to play & she set me up to try it out. They had a good selection Martin accessories including a good assortment of guitar strings including the Martin brand so I also bought a spare set of the Martin LifeSpan Phosphor Bronze Light strings. I was short on time so did not get a chance to fully take in the ambience & experience of Dan & Sara's music store, but reading up on Crossroads before hand on their website & stepping into their store, I felt the warm embrace of some good vibes, and appreciate their community involvement in local music events in this very charming waterfront town. I like contributing to local businesses so I not only walked away with a very nice Martin acoustic electric guitar, it felt rewarding to give back. I hope to explore more of the Washington peninsula & look forward taking more time visiting Port Townsend & Crossroads Music.
