I started learning guitar with Gordon earlier this year and he's been an amazing teacher. I am…read moreneurodivergent, and Gordon has been patient and very helpful with explaining things in a way that land in the way my brain thinks and learns things. He is accommodating, friendly, very passionate, and very willing to teach you in the way you learn best. Highly, highly recommend if you're looking to learn guitar.

Gordon has the flexibility to customize lessons to match the student experience level. He also…read moremodified a couple of my favorite songs, which I am able to add to my practice. As an older student I appreciated the guidance on a better sized ukulele that would accommodate my fingers. I am totally enjoying learning the ukulele!

I loved their selection. They have gear and guitars you don't typically see in the big box stores…read more The guy was friendly. Keep in mind that if you are going there to sell, you will NEVER get market value and you would be a fool to think that. It is like a pawn shop and will get offered about 50-60% tops. They need to resell it for profit.

They have a little of everything here, it seems, though not always what you want when you want it…read more The service is good though, and knowledgeable. They can order what you want, and their mark-up is reasonable. I'd much rather pay a little bit extra here than give Bozo any more of my money. If you prefer supporting the local like I do, and you're of a musical bent, check them out. They have a decent selection of used merchandise too, and the sales staff is super friendly, which is way more than I can say for Chicken McMusic (Guitar Center) or, especially, Hugo Helmer Music, who has gotten so comfortable resting on their laurels they haven't noticed that the world has lit them on fire... For better, at least from a drummer's perspective, you'd have to go to American Music in Seattle. I'm glad Bigfoot is up north here for us Watcom and Snohomish rockers! Recommended.

Erica is a wonderful teacher. My kid loves her. She is knowledgeable, patient, kind and creates a…read morewonderful relationship with her students (adults and kids).

I took voice lessons from Erica for a year and was thrilled with my experience. Erica is a very…read moreknowledgeable and experienced teacher. She is really great at explaining difficult concepts. She has a talent for giving feedback in a constructive way that does not make you feel discouraged. My singing improved much more than I expected going into lessons. I would recommend her for anyone looking for good voice or beginning piano teacher.

Small business but it carries what it needs for my daughter's guitar class. We were directed to go…read morethere to buy school supplies.

The musical talent is definitely there with the instructors. The organization with lessons and…read moreonline pay portal;not so much. Would not recommend. You can do one lesson and then come back the next week and the instructors have no idea what you did the last week, which throws everything off and stunts growth. I was charged for a full month worth of classes when I did not do a full month of classes. When I called to cancel, the young lady got an attitude with me. I will not be stepping foot in this establishment anymore.

With such short notice I didn't expect any kind of refund. However, the next day, a check was in my mailbox for a nice sum minus a little for some unavoidable expenses. What a lovely surprise.

Travis is a wonderful teacher, with a deep understanding of music theory and an almost childlike…read morelove for music performance that ignited a similar passion in our (then) 9 year old for both jazz and classical piano which continues to this day, and now (at 16) has him enthusiastically rehearsing and performing with orchestra, jazz bands and choirs all year long.

Tanya Otto is an incredible piano teacher. She doesn't just teach the techniques of piano (through…read morethe Royal Conservatory program), but also focuses on the art of playing, on developing the student as an artist, and on the history of the musical pieces and composers. Attending lessons with my 10 year old has been just as compelling for me as it is for my daughter!

Tayna is an excellent piano teacher and extremely talented. Pianist as well. My daughter has been…read morea student of 7 years and has grown from the beginning stage of learning the keys to playing classical pieces as well as writing music. Also, her learning piano has refined her dexterity and critical thinking skills. I highly recommend Above Piano if you are thinking of either learning how to play or just need refreshment as a pianist. Tanya is not only an instructor but a well accomplished pianist herself. She sets the example for all her students. - Rachel W.

I have no idea what the crap reviews are about but my experience couldn't have been better!…read more Gary is a busy guy and doesn't want to bullshit or butter you up on the phone. He is a straight shooter and is pretty frank. Most sensitive and passive Seattleites can't handle this but I assure you if you want your gear fixed properly and quickly just put your emotions aside. I had my mid 90's KR-series Roland 88 quickly diagnosed and fixed in 24hrs! Gary has a bunch of sore parts and is an authorized repair guy for Roland amongst a few others. The only con about this shop is location but I'd take an experienced and crazy fast pro who lives in the sticks over an over priced, amateur Guitar Center or crotchety old McIntyre guy any day. Thanks Gary!
