Love love love Jampro! My daughter has been a student for almost 8 years now. She has taken voice,…read moreguitar, bass and piano lessons here, but has found her passions to be vocals and bass. She has been a part of several amazing bands through Jampro, playing both at their awesome on-site stage and at festivals and businesses here in town. The improvement in her musical talents has been a beautiful and impressive journey that continues to leave me in awe. All of the teachers have been excellent and top caliber musicians themselves. Jampro often served as a safe space for my daughter during some difficult times through the years. They treated her like family and I will forever be grateful. The facility is top notch and every thing you'd expect from a high end studio and more. They even have courses to learn audio production and DJ. I invite anyone to take a tour as you will be wowed by all they offer. The programs are not cheap, but I've found them to be worth every penny and a truly worthy investment in my daughter.

Let me ask you a few questions... Would you believe that…read morethere's a 10,000 square foot facility in South Reno that has a staff of masters level musicians with performance backgrounds that provide instruction on guitar, piano, voice, and stringed instruments in 11 monitored and sound proof practice studios? Would you believe in the same 10,000 sq ft. facility there's a full scale production studio complete with top of the line computers, mixing and sound boards, and an isolation room to record vocals? Would you believe that in that same 10,000 sq. ft. facility there's a 500 person capacity theater with a performance stage decked out with state-of-the-art lights, smoke, and sound that's used to host special events and provide student bands with the real deal experience of playing before a live audience? What about if I told you they also had a full scale production lab where you can learn how to produce music and even learn how to DJ on the best digital turntables available? And last but not least, would you believe me if I told you they also have a music retail store with everything you could possibly want or need, including exclusive brands of effects pedals and other equipment? Welcome to Jampro Music Factory. This is seriously a place like no other, with no detail spared, and a passion for providing the best music education experience you can imagine. Close your eyes and picture the quintessential Hollywood recording studio, complete with wood floors, beautifully decorated walls, and big open windows to see what's going on, and that's what you'll find at Jampro. To me it seems like the new businesses that have opened in the last year have really done a lot to elevate the standards of our community. From bars and restaurants, to our local farmers and artisans, and everything in between. It seems like each week I learn about one more business adding to this momentum, and this past week, it was Jampro Music Factory. Thanks to Robert and Ly S., their Yelp photos, check-ins, and reviews, I now know what it's all about and I can't wait to return!

Tired of practicing in the garage? Get yourself a studio at MRC! Want to practice for that "big show" on a large stage with full A/V support? Reserve some time on MRC's rehearsal stage! Need a solid demo video or professionally produced DVD? They've got an A/V suite that will knock yer socks off. I've rehearsed with a couple different bands at MRC and am always impressed with how professionally the place is managed and maintained. Everyone from small local bands to large, internationally touring acts have made use of these facilities, and with good reason. There just isn't anything close to this for several hundred miles, and MRC compares favorably with similar facilities in larger markets. Can't say enough good things about MRC.

This past weekend I was going to breakfast down the way, and had some time to kill with the wait so wondered on down. This is a GREAT local music shop with small venue in the back. So many instruments and a very cozy/warm atmosphere. The converted house is the perfect building for this type of business. The owner (or one of them?) was quick to greet us and show us around the place. I tried out a couple of vintage instruments when I was there and he was very knowledgeable and informative about what I was playing. Looking forward to coming back for a live performance at sometime. They seem to have routine jam sessions as well as touring musicians stopping by the place.

We rang the doorbell and were greeted by one of the owners, Don, and his dog LadyBug. Don informed us that if we were looking for records, we were in the wrong place but told us to come check out what they DID have. Mountain Music Parlor is a cute little shop filled with all sorts of instruments. So many that you'll have to go see for yourself including endless ukuleles, cricket violins, guitars, and more. The most amazing thing about Don was that no matter what obscure musical instrument or accessory we asked about, Don had it! From cajons to violin mutes. He also showed us the performance room where they have different jam sessions including Celtic nights, Old Time, Cowboy, Aloha Ukulele, Open Mic, and Bluegrass. They also have music lessons available for various instruments. I'm so glad to have stumbled upon Mountain Music Parlor and will definitely be getting all of my musical knick knacks from them for the foreseeable future. Always excited when I can support great local businesses like this!

Recording with him is an engaging blend of easy-going attitude and challenging focus on detail. In a world full of options for recording artists to indulge their talents, engineer-producers like Tom continue to set the standard for what it means to make a professional-quality recording. Reno is fortunate to have him and his small-yet-mighty studio. Bonus props: nothing better than leaving digital behind and recording organ parts on a real Hammond B3 with Leslie cabinet. Vibrotastic!

When I got there, Tom began setting up about 10-15 different mics for me. Not only did he fit me in late at night after a long day's work, he never rushed. We found what worked for me (yes it was the U87), but it was great to know that there were others that worked for me as well. It's also invaluable to be able to hire Tom to come to my studio to make adjustments on my equipment, AND, for an incredibly reasonable price. Oh, also, the other reviewer was right...he's a Reno legend. Thanks Tom!

We had to fill out a credit check form for the rental program. They presented us with both a used and new violin option with reasonable pricing for renting and insurance. Their program is great where we can rent-to-own if we decide later to purchase it. All the rental payments are put towards the purchase which is awesome. They also allow you to switch it out if our child outgrows the size. It was a super easy process to pick up a rental instrument and seems like the store has quite the variety of supplies for both wind and string instruments.
