Do you like to gamble with your money? That's what you're gonna do if you shop here. It is insane…read moreto me that a musical instrument store could tell me a product with keys that don't work. That is like selling me a cell phone without a battery in it and then when I come back to exchange it or get a refund, you tell me I'm shit out of luck.

Gabrielle and Jeanette are awesome! I get the joy of bringing my 3 nieces here for lessons every…read moreFriday night and they always look forward to it! My 2 older nieces go to Jeanette (so double kudos to her). They describe her as patient, kind, funny, and encouraging! They both really love the fact that they get prizes for finishing songs in their lesson books! Jeanette always has a bunch of fun and cool prizes that the girls get to take home with! This really encourages the girls to always want to go above and beyond and learn more songs. My youngest niece goes to Gabrielle and she is awesome. I sit in there with her through her lessons and my youngest is super shy so there are a lot of times where she will be silent but Gabrielle always makes her feel comfortable and will accommodate to my youngest and not force her to talk. My youngest describes Gabrielle as patient, nice and funny. She has learned a lot since her lessons with Gabrielle and loves getting stickers and balloons all the time.

Buyer beware! They charge way more than others, and after our instructor told us on 10/28 he was…read moreleaving we called to cancel and we're told no! They billed us $180 for another month of lessons and despite never signing the "contract" - they kept referring us to it which says nothing about situations where the instructor leaves/ quits....Heather the manager told us we were being held to the terms....because she sent them and even if we didn't sign.....sending them was enough ‍ We have disputed with our credit card and hopefully will get money back. We won't be returning. So sad after 2 years this is how we have to exit.

I have been taking our granddaughter (now 4) to the Portland Harmony Road Music school on 82nd Ave…read morefor the last several months. Miss Andrea is a wonderful teacher and keeps these little ones on task while singing, learning all about the piano and most importantly, having fun. Our little one will be playing her first songs this weekend at her first recital. The method used here at Harmony allows little ones to actually learn how to play songs before they can even read or write. She has gained so much confidence and loves to learn and then "teach" her mommy what she has learned. By the time I lose her to full-time kindergarten, she will be reading notes and playing songs with both hands. Amazing!! While the right-hand notes are being solidified, the left-hand notes are also being introduced. Having Fun, Doting Grandma

Came in to get some help for the fret buzz on my new beginner bass from amazon. Help was offered as…read moresoon as I walked in the door and the employee immediately got to work after quickly diagnosing the issue. He told me it wouldn't be perfect since it is a very affordable bass and that I could purchase a full set up, but that it'd probably be a better investment to put that cost toward an instrument upgrade down the line instead. After a few minutes of adjustments, I was offered a cable to hook up to one of the in store amps to try it out. SO much of an improvement! I wasn't even charged for the service. I wanted to look at gig bags afterward but noticed they seemed to all be in an employee only area. A staff member almost immediately noticed me and showed me their options. When I said I'd do some more shopping around and would keep theirs in mind, there was absolutely 0 pressure to try to make a sale. The customer service was fantastic and felt very genuine--no pushing to make a sale or upsell something I didn't really need. Especially as a beginner who wouldn't necessarily know better, it's so valuable to feel like the person helping you actually cares about your best interest as opposed to just making a sale. Super happy with my experience and I'll definitely be back in the future for any of my musical needs!
