Everyone I spoke to was really nice, and I was able to get my flute serviced quickly. The instrument repair person is there on Wednesdays and Saturdays. They did a pretty good job, but definitely didn't polish my flute, which I was kind of disappointed about, especially since I asked it to be thoroughly cleaned (this was also indicated on my service ticket they typed up). I was able to polish it myself after I got it back with a silver polishing cloth that I had to purchase. They have a huge variety of instruments, accessories, and books! It does seem to be more catered to guitars/percussion, but they still had a decent selection for woodwinds and brass. They also have tons of teachers that do private lessons. I will definitely be returning if I need anymore repairs done, as they did a nice job with those!

We witnessed a man on their team publicly berating a parent just for following up on cancelled lessons (the school cancelled - not the mom). He screamed at her and hurled racist slurs! The words that were said made no sense, ignored their own errors and failings as a school, and focused only on bogus assumptions about the mom (who was as polite as can be despite the onslaught of hate). He made it clear it was for no other reason than because her skin was brown and she spoke with an accent (even though her English was absolutely perfect!). He included a comment about her "inability to communicate being the reason for her lack of success in life" (he didn't realize he was talking to a PhD with a double 6-figure job!). Still shaken by the lack of professionalism. The school also said they would refund for lessons that were paid for, but never delivered - then failed to refund. This place should be shut down. A lawsuit waiting to happen. Avoid avoid.

Guitars are largely in the…read moreFender and Gibson realm; a huge variety of them, but limited other selections and not so many alternate brands. They try to do much in a limited space, and mostly, that works. Their wind and violin/viola/cello/bass/etc space is really nice, and their acoustical guitar and bass sections are strong. The keyboards area is sort of scrunched together but top brands and a bit of variety. I liked their synths, although not a crazy variety. Prices I heard seemed a bit higher, but there is added value here, too. Huge sheet music section. Much wind instrument variety, as well as mouthpieces, reeds/ligatures/etc. It has the widest and broadest inventory I've seen in Arizona. Worth a visit; musicians will appreciate the variety.

The teachers are absolutely phenomenal with all the children and definitely bring you into the musicology family and love and celebrate your little one along side you. I have a very small "village" and am so grateful to have my musicology community supporting my parenthood journey! I've learned so much about children, music, and parenting in my weekly classes. With a medically complex child it has been hard finding places I feel safe bringing my daughter to. Musicology is one of the few places I feel completely confident bringing my kiddo. Their sick policy leaves no room for interpretation and we really appreciate the ease of scheduling and flexibility of makeup classes-- encouraging all the families to keep each other safe! Thanks for doing what you do! So excited to keep continuing on at Musicology until my daughter ages out.

I finally started feeling comfortable coming when they offered mask option classes. They also limit about 7-8 a parent w/kid. My daughter is quiet shy so I like that she can sit with me and the teachers are all so nice with her. Over the last few months she has definitely gotten more comfortable and enjoys going to class. They really do a great job making the environment fun for both parents and kids. They do incorporate a little of sign language and teach kids more than just music. Also, for a stay at home mom like me it's nice to meet other moms (sometimes dads) and their kiddos. Def recommend Musicology. I believe they have a one class trial too.

I had to take it back when I changed the strings putting everything back the same way only to have the buzzing come back. second problem was the volume on the pick up was very low so I took it back. I was told by the tech that he couldn't do anything with it and doubt if the company would send a replace part. the guitar was manufactured in France so I guess he just didn't want to be bothered. I contacted the manufacturer and they sent the part with detailed instructions how to remove the old one and replace i. I did it myself taking about 30 minutes. i own a few guitars amp and other equipment i purchased from Guitar Center but never again.
