It was a great experience, the prices were fair and the service was excellent. George also made it super easy to coordinate schedules, especially when so many places' hours are varied due to COVID right now. Thanks, George. I'll definitely be back for all my other music needs.

    I bought a used 1/4-sized violin on eBay and wanted to get a new set of strings for it. Astoria…read moreMusic is the only music instrument and repair shop in the area that I'm aware of, so I decided to go there and take a look. The owner had only Sonora SV10 steel strings for full size 4/4 violins. But he was absolutely certain that they will work great on the 1/4 kids instrument. Because I really wanted the new strings, I bought them, but the price of $46.95 felt a bit steep. So, when I came home and checked the price online, the same strings are sold for $18 per set, or in a 5-pack they are sold for $13 per set. Which means, he charges 300% of the actual value. You can buy premium / professional-grade D'Addario or Thomastik-Infeld strings for $40-50. Yeah. I also asked the guy if he would be willing to buy (or sell from his shop) one of my used guitars, and he basically told me that he only buys for bargain prices (like $100 or less), fixes the instruments and resells. This lines up with the story from the other reviewer who bought the bass with a crazy bent headstock. So, my overall impression is that the shop is not very trustworthy, you have to compare prices with Amazon, Reverb, or eBay before buying, and if you are a guitar player then, honestly, just learn how to setup your guitars yourself - it is easy and rewarding - there are so many instructional videos on Youtube that you can learn everything about basic guitar setup in 30 minutes, quicker then it takes to drop off your instrument at this shop. And if you want to learn real cool stuff about fixing badly broken guitars, check out Ted Woodford's youtube channel https://www.youtube.com/@twoodfrd The end of the story about buying Sonora strings: I came one more time to Astoria Music try to return the strings, but the shop was closed. I returned home and bought online a set of Thomastik Alphayue (1/4-size) for $28, which were great.

    My son attends the "Rookies" class (6 and 7 year olds) and he really loves it. The teacher, Mr…read more Nick, is excellent and keeps the students engaged. What makes the Rookies class unique is that students are allowed the opportunity to explore different instruments (guitar, bass, keyboards, drums, and vocals) so they don't need to commit to a single instrument just yet. Group instruction allows the students to work together as a band - playing with other musicians is one of the best ways to improve your skills. The Bayside/Queens location recently changed ownership and was acquired by School Of Rock of Long Island around October 2022. I believe they are going to expand to Forest Hills as well. The students learn 1 new song each month which gives students exposure to many different musical genres (rock, blues, pop, metal, hard rock). They could be playing "Roar" by Katy Perry one week then AC/DC's "TNT" another week. Most recently they were learning the "Twist and Shout" (Beatles version) and "Rockin' Robin" (Bobby Day) - I just realized that School Of Rock probably has to pay a decent amount of money for the licensing/ASCAP fees. At the end of each month of the Rookies class, the parents are invited to watch the children perform the song and it's impressive how much the student pick up after a few hours of group instruction. The older students who receive individual lessons actually perform at a live venue for an authentic rock star experience. I'm looking forward to seeing my son continue to learn and grown at School of Rock!

    I'm saying this here now because when we contact Elena Diaz she refused to take our call. Instead…read moreof talking to us like a professional she rather ignore us. This is not the type of teacher you should hire who steal your students. This review is for the voice teacher Elena Diaz. She promised me and my husband a recital when we first started. Initially my husband was a piano student of Alejandra at Juliet Music and she took him under her wing as her private voice student making him leave Juliet Music. I myself was a student of Juliet music and left to study privately under Elena because she said it would be better for me. She stole me from lessons at Juliet Music. She promised us a recital and other concerts to perform in but from 2013-2018 since we were with her nothing happened. She kept teaching us the same songs and our skills never got better. My husband went to her to study countertenor and tenor. She can't teach him the right way let alone going back and forth on two types of voices. This was really unfair. She forces us to sing karaoke songs from YouTube as our lessons. She had workshops which were all about money and not learning. She doesn't know how to teach the music and harmony. She personally has something against my husband because he was the only one who questioned her. We continued to sing the same songs over again. She didn't know how to drive so many times she had me drive her around for free. Places like from her house to Juliet Music which is ironic since I was a student of Juliet Music, to a wedding we're not invited to where she made us sing without practice, and the college recital of one of her other students which she always describes as "hot". She calls him the Prince of India who at the time was a high school student . The most offensive thing was how she talked about her boyfriend and their sex life during lessons. One time she talked about how she likes the beast and Rolf because they are hairy like the men she likes. She also talks about getting pregnant with her boyfriend during group practices in front of others. This is sexual harassment. She said this in front of young girls and should not be tolerated. She is too friendly with her students and it's as if she's crossing the line. When I first came to her she said I was a soprano so I thought that she would train me. After 5 years with her I never had a performance or recital. Neither did my husband. And I never learned how to sing soprano. In the end my husband did not learn any of the right skills to improve I don't think she ever had an intention of giving us success. My husband and I sing in church where we are well experienced and she had the nerve to teach us songs we've been singing all our lives. Many times my husband and I want to do duets. She can't even figure out the harmonies. She also forced us to watched the recital of her favorite student who has nothing to do with us. Also a wedding in the city who we don't know at all. She wants us to do what she wants because we're "friends" and she wants me to drive her. I was being used for my kindness. She's takes advantage of people especially through her lessons. I really feel that Elena Diaz is not a good teacher and should be terminated.

    My child has been taking piano lessons here for about 8 months…read more Pros: teacher is attentive and genuinely interested in helping and teaching children to love and appreciate music. Parking is convenient. Flexible scheduling for make up classes. Cons: facilities are old and outdated. The rooms need a paint job and cleaning. There is weird household trash in the practice rooms. Front desk is a bit scattered. Messed up our payment and scheduling a few times.

Let me tell you, I've met with other local flute/piccolo dealers in NY/NYC, but none can compare to experience you get when going to Weissman Music! Once you meet Jeff and his team, you'll immediately see how passionate they are about the profession and why they are, in my opinion, the best in the world! My main instruments are the clarinets, but I adore the flute and piccolo and thoroughly enjoy playing them in the local community bands. Knowing this, Jeff eagerly guided me through the entire 9 + hour process of trying a plethora of piccolos and headjoint combos. Not only did Jeff help me choose the piccolo that was perfect for me, he also imparted invaluable tips and expert techniques. I can finally say I have the piccolo of my dreams and can't thank Jeff and his team enough for the extraordinary opportunity! I look forward to going back and getting my dream rose gold flute upgrade!! Thank you to Luke Panella for doing a wonderful job overhauling my flute! This is the ONLY place I send my flute and picc to be serviced and repaired. Below are pictures of the magnificent Weissman handmade professional cocobolo wood piccolo with silver keys and traditional cocobolo wood headjoint with 14k gold riser and mother of pearl crown. The second darker headjoint is made of grenadilla wood and is a wave style headjoint with mother of pearl in the crown.
