I have 3 children that take 5 different lessons with HGS. We have been there for 2.5 years now, and…read moreI cannot imagine going anywhere else! My 11 year old has grown SO much in his piano, and my 8 year old, her violin playing amazes me! And, I have to say I have the most difficult 6 year old (personality-wise) and how Mr. Alex is able to teach her ukulele is beyond me. He has the patience of a saint. The two older ones also take voice, at first we just started it to offset the fact that their friends were in summer sports and they weren't interested; however, they didn't want to stop when school started. Being at HGS is something we all look forward to every week. Not only are the teacher talented, and REAL working musicians, but they have a caring for children that I do not think we would find somewhere else. I would recommend them to anyone!

I absolutely love this place, and the people who work there…read more All of their prices are very fair, and they'll even match lower prices (most of the time). I dropped my guitar off there the week before Christmas (busy) to get my pickups replaced, and to have them completely re-wire my guitar in a new way. It was done in a DAY, and cost nearly half of what I thought it would. Their professional setups (electric guitar) are spot on, for a GREAT price. I do not have one complaint about this store. They are FANTASTIC.

She knows how to teach children and keep her attention. Seeing all the parents taking their children here to learn music made my decision on House Of Music that much easier. The first lesson was free and the fees are reasonable. Highly recommend anyone to take their children here to learn music. Minus a star for lack of parking and the rotted wood that is a tripping hazard when you enter the door from the parking lot. I know it's a converted house but that should be removed already.

This review is not about lessons but about their repair services:…read more Took my sons guitar in for a restringing on a Saturday. I was called the following day and Notified that the guitar restringing was Completed but that the neck needed adjustment & the repair person for that isn't there but would "probably" be in on Monday and someone would call me back. From Monday to Thursday I called daily to get an update on when the guitar would be ready and each time I got a different person and had to explain the situation to each of them and each time I was told I'd get a call back with a date it would be complete. On Thursday afternoon, I went into the store and asked for my sons guitar back as it still had not been repaired. I then drove directly to Axes Music in Mokena where the owner, Bill greeted me as I walked through the door. He inspected the guitar, took it in back and within 10 mins, completed the adjustment. He also commented on the "odd" restring job that was done at House of Music. I gave two stars instead of one because everyone I talked to at House Of Music was considerate, it was the last persons suggestion that I just come and get the guitar as he admittedly had no idea when it would get repaired after texting with a "manager" about it.

I live a block and a half away and would rather drive 30 minutes to Guitar Center…read more.... After Gratz music closed this is the only music shop in Valparaiso. You can get music lessons and a few instrument accessories here like strings, picks, etc... They have a very small selection of guitars and amplifiers, some sheet music books, and other doodads but their showroom is about the size of a large closet. They Host open mic nights which are a favorite for some local artists and music fans. However, I have always felt the staff was fairly condescending and curt. Your mileage may vary. They seem to cater to blues/folk musicians mostly so people who play other genres may be out of luck when looking for gear or advice. If you are looking for stage gear, lighting, recording gear, drums, effects pedals, an extensive selection of guitars, basses, microphones, straps, picks, beat machines, synthesizers, well.... pretty much anything relating to any genre of music beside folk/blues, this place does NOT have it. and if they happen to have it, it will be 50% more expensive than any other music store on the planet. Anyone who isn't friends with the owners or isnt a local blues/folk musician should definitely invest the 3 dollars in gas to go to guitar center a few towns over. The only time i ever go here is if i need strings for my acoustic guitar. The rest of my thousands of dollars of music equipment was bought elsewhere because Front porch didnt have it or it was so expensive it was worth driving an hour to get it somewhere else.
