I have been a student with Joe from the beginning of my guitar and musical career. Started out…read moredoing guitar lessons. Learned everything from music theory to song writing to guitar repair. I then made the switch to a rock band mentor ship. Joe provides such a great learning environment that I was comfortable enough to try singing as-well. Good thing I did, because I love it! He cured my stage fright and taught me how to talk to the crowd. The rock and roll conservatory is a great school and is very affordable. I recommend it to everyone I know for all of their musical endeavors. At your own pace. Joe makes it very easy to learn.

With a focus on the mentoring of students, as opposed to a conventional method of teaching, the RnRC develops more than just an understanding of music within its students. The RnRC works closely with each student to help them develop an understanding of themselves and help them learn how to apply that understanding to the exceptional music education received through the RnRC.

I had an outstanding experience working with Sam Scott at Washington Pianos. From the moment I…read morewalked in, Sam provided truly personal service--he took the time to understand exactly what I was looking for in a piano, asked thoughtful questions, and patiently guided me through the options. His expertise and genuine interest in helping me find the perfect match made all the difference. The piano he recommended has exceeded every expectation. On top of that, the prices were extremely competitive, making the entire experience both enjoyable and affordable. Highly recommend

Went in just to look around, left with a great piano at a great price. Very nice experience.read more

I heard one of her students sing, and loved the rich sound and tone with the right amount of vibrato. I knew immediately that I needed to seek her voice teacher out and start voice lessons again.

I own several Taylor trumpets and I took all of them in to get a thorough cleaning and also to get…read morethe valves more responsive. Sam couldn't have been more gracious and informative and kind. I received all my instruments back in Superior condition then when I submitted them to him. My son took lessons from that old bearded man that a one star below complained about. My son adored that man. Unfortunately the old guy passed away and the world is a sorrier place without him. I've read through all these comments and it's striking how most of them are five star with a few four stars and then there's several one stars. When you see mostly five and four stars and then a scattering of one star you need to understand that those are people that won't be happy no matter what you do for them. I highly recommend Sam and music trader and you can feel confident that he will not only take care of your instruments as if they were his own, you're going to get them back working better than when you took them in.

Where to start? Robert has done 3 jobs for me in the past year. First, he setup an Epiphone 339…read morethat looked great but didn't sound so hot. After his setup it sings and is now my favorite guitar. Next, I gave him a VOX Guardsman amp that had some static issues. He checked and cleaned every connection. When I got it back it sounded clean and loud. Next, he did a repair/restoration of an old LP that I did not take a care of. He straightened the neck, installed new frets, gold hardware and tuners, adjusted the nut and polished the whole thing. Robert returned it to factory condition. The neck is straight and the action is sublime. The quality of Robert's work is very high and he is equally gifted with instruments and amps which is rare. Additionaly, Robert is really easy to work with, a great communicator and his rates are super reasonable. I am very glad I found him and will be bringing him more work. I've had some good repairs before but Robert and Smithway are the best I have experienced.

Back to back lessons with other students where we never get the full 30 minutes. She also just taught out of a lesson book from Amazon so if the lesson of the week only took 10 minutes, she would end the class early. Since my son is a beginner I can teach him from this book. She should have just taught as many pages as she could fit in especially since my son understood the concepts. Not worth $140 a month at all.
