John helped me to learn four songs on the ukulele in about five weeks when I had never played the ukulele before. He had lots of great suggestions about easy ways to learn chords, strumming patterns and how to tune and take care of my uke. John was patient and clear in his directions -- two great qualities to have in a music teacher! If I didn't understand something, he was easily able to demonstrate it for me until I figured it out. I highly recommend him!

I took guitar lessons for several months with Tedd and I had an exceptional experience each week. Tedd was structured, very observant of my personal aspirations, and molded each lesson to suit my strengths and areas of improvement. He introduced me to so many different techniques and styles; it goes without saying that I learned a LOT. Above all, Tedd's enthusiasm for guitar playing was highly contagious and encouraging! All of the instructors at LPM are extremely hospitable and I always looked forward to my many laughs with Tedd, Jamaal, and Anne! Had I not moved I would have certainly continued my lessons with Tedd at LPM. Thank you all!!

After putting my saxophone down for 36 years (yeah that's right), I've regained interest in playing it again. Yup, still the exact saxophone I played back in 1990. It was already considered vintage back then, but a good instrument, like one's body and mind, maintained and repaired, will last a very long time. Dropped off my sax for a tuneup and pad replacement where needed today, and their turn-around time is 14-days. You can pre-authorize a charge limit, and if any repairs will exceed that amount they will call you to discuss. What's also good, is that they'll inspect it first before performing any work and let you know if the instrument is worth the cost of repairs or not. Rob said they'll provide you an evaluation, as well. When my sax is ready to pickup, I'll follow up and update this review.

Predatory Scam - Stay Away!…read more Signed up for lessons, got billed for services I never received. No lessons, no communication, just automatic charges to my card. Tried to cancel-- they ignored it and kept billing, then tried doubling the amount after cancellation. And this was four months ago... This is straight-up fraudulent and predatory. Do NOT come here and do not give them your credit card info or sign any contract. I've filed complaints with the FTC and CFPB.

FINALLY started taking lessons a few months ago with John, and I'm loving it! It's so much fun, and John is an excellent teacher. He teaches to my learning style, he's patient and thorough, and consistent with his reminders of how I should be playing (finger placement, posture, and all). Though his style may seem scattered at first, he really does a great job of building off of what we learned from the previous week while keeping it interesting. If you're like me and thinking that you'll eventually get around to taking lessons, DO IT NOW! (Before they realize that they're not charging enough!)

She does a great job connecting with students and keeping them engaged, which has made a big difference in our child's enthusiasm for practicing and learning.

We also really appreciate the performance opportunities they offer, from the annual recital to unique experiences like performing with a live band--such a fun and motivating way for kids to build confidence.

It's refreshing to find stores like the Guitar Center Falls Church that really care about the customer relationships. Highly recommended!

When I walked in with 2 big boxes, everyone in the store just kinda stared at me. Not welcoming at all.

I won't go into the details, but definitely not the same energy I received from the Alexandria location.
