I decided to start playing my bass guitar again after being non active for a bunch of years and it needs a little TLC before I can slap my axe . Astoria music is really a mom and pop old school music shop that sells and service many different types of musical instruments and they have music teachers as well if you want your little one to learn an instrument or if you the adult want to start a new hobby . Very nice gent who i assume is the owner , looked over my bass and knew exactly needed to be done . A few parts had to be replaced and I didn't mind cause I do recall how nice my fender bass sounded when it was in peak shape . 3 days later it was ready and the sound is exactly what I remembered after all these years . Glad my friend told me about this music store and would recommend this place 100 percent. 4.5 stars on my yelp meter.

1. There is a "technology fee" of 7$+ when you pay through credit card. I don't know what that is…read more Owner didn't mention while paying. See pic. Not a tax because tax is already added to the "Base Amount" 2. Bass guitar I bought has already a bended headstock and warped neck. But the owner insists it is okay. And when I said "you are luthier, you know it is not". He refunded my money and told me he can change the headstock to a new one. 3. Website says they are open and will be opened 11am. Waited and wasted 2 hours in the cold outside went back the next day and told me they now open at past 1pm. Photos of my horrible experiences below.

I had a great experience with John at Mobile Guitars. From the moment I walked in, he was friendly,…read morepatient, and genuinely enthusiastic about helping me find the right fit. John really knows his stuff -- he's an active gigging musician who plays in bands, and that real-world experience comes through in the way he talks about gear. He gave my guitars a thorough assessment, explained everything clearly, and offered honest, practical advice without any pressure. His knowledge is impressive and his passion for music is contagious. On top of all that, the prices are very competitive. If you're a beginner trying to figure things out or an experienced player looking for expert guidance, I'd highly recommend paying John a visit. He's the kind of person who makes you excited to go home and play.

I'll admit that I have a soft spot for Pentatonic Guitars on Franklin Street. I brought my…read moreboyfriend to Pentatonic when we started dating. Because he's a musician and plays guitar, I thought he would appreciate the shop. And he did. It turned out to be a successful date. However, my Yelp rating now is not totally colored by sentimentality. Pentatonic Guitars is a cool little spot on Franklin that adds to the character of the neighborhood. It's a small space packed full of unique guitars and instruments. It's not set up like Guitar Center/Sam Ash - or even Main Street Drag - to get you to buy, buy, BUY! You don't get that salesperson peer pressure. There's relaxed vibe, so you can ask questions and not feel like you're a mark. They know their stuff. If you are into guitar bodies, pickups, frets, etc., this is a good place for you!

This place provides one-on-one musical instruments tutoring. Actually they have 2 locations in…read moreElmhurst. And we always go the one near the New Town Church. Majority of the tutors have the degree from the musical institutions. The tutor we have for years is very nice and also strict. Besides teaching all the musical knowledge and performing skills, they help the kids get prepared for the NYSSMA and RCM exams. My daughter's NYSSMA exam scores are always kept at "outstanding" and "excellent" without fail. Besides the tutoring classes, they also provide practicing time for students. They encourage customers having musical instruments at home, and provide refurbished piano at reasonable price. The price tag of their tutoring class is higher than the local peers, but has been kept the same for several years.

Tony + Jobelle are super friendly and helpful. As for my skills! I learned so much and I'm so happy I came here. Honestly, I was in a weird slump - I wanted something that I can do on my own - that I was passionate about and this did it for me. I'm definitely continuing to the intermediate level! Our class stayed small and the people in it are super cool. Everyone was super down to earth and easy to talk to. I knew nothing about how to play a guitar and now I'm actually playing along to songs which feels amazing. I always like to sing a long to karaoke in my apartment so now it feels good to sing along to my guitar lol.

I took my niece to Musipire's school concert a few Saturdays ago because I heard good things from…read moremy friends who went to the first concert. Too bad when we got the program I can see ALL THE SONGS we missed from the first show. My niece loves music and loves singing at home so I took her for her first concert! We had a good time and she was dancing in her chair. Our show had piano, violin, guitar and a clarinet guy who was pretty good. One of the kids froze on stage which was cute and sad at the same time, but everyone clapped to help him. Looking at the program the youngest performer was like 4years old - who is still older than my niece. It was alittle confusing to find Musipire on yelp because there are three branches, but I think I will bring my niece back when she gets older.

I had been in a couple of places that day while shopping with a friend for an upright. My friend didn't want to go into the Steinway location because she said it would be too expensive. Well, I beg to differ! After spending time with Steve, I learned why a Steinway piano made today verses used and pre-owned is by far the best piano on the market. I was very impressed with the service that he gave and the professionalism that he displayed. The piano I fell in love with sounds amazing, feels great and is just stunning! We had been to three dealers that day. He definitely set himself apart from the other places I visited without being disrespectful of other piano showrooms. The previous all put down Steinway and each other. That's just bad business in my opinion. There's room for everyone in any business. Everyone has a different class of elegance. Some people don't have any! That's the difference! That's my point! I'm now taking piano lessons and will buy a Steinway next year when I move into my new home. You can bet that I'll be back to Paramus to purchase from Steve Salerno. "Five stars all the way! That's why it's a Steinway!"

In the past, I've heard many performances by QMA rock bands formed with their students. They can really feel their accomplishments. I see many students coming to other lessons there. if interested, I highly recommend the QMA for learning music.
