My son needed to pick up an acoustic guitar and the staff could not have been more helpful. They had a roomful of choices and expertise on each. Store manager Jon Bon insisted on restringing the floor model for him. He and Billy Darling have been on the staff for decades. Added a hard case and off we went. Great experiences like that you can't get online.

There is no voice mail. Service phone often rings for 20 rings (gave up after then) and never is answered. The people in the store know about these problems, but the corporate office does nothing to fix it. The corporate call center went so far as to tell me they couldn't control the hours on Google. What? Again, less than stellar workers. Also, personnel is not properly trained. ie: I was told I could get a flute repair done in a week, then I found out it was a month...after I flew to the USA with my flute from another country. So, I bought a new flute. I asked the service department to check it over completely as I did not live in the USA and wanted to make sure there were no issues. Note this was a rather expensive silver flute. They gave it to me saying it was perfect. Well, it wasn't! The interior was filthy...used. The f# key leaks. I am flying back to the USA. It took me 12 phone calls including 2 useless calls to the call center before I could speak to someone. I was promised a call back from the call center in 40 minutes. Never called. Bottom line is, good selection, knowledgeable sales people, lousy service and not the brightest in the call center. I think some of the staff is good at some of the stores, but really, they need training.

She will make sure you are fitted with a flute that gives you the kind of response and tone that is best for you, and that will give you many years of pleasure playing. Go for it.

We originally hired Brian to give guitar lessons to our teenage son. After hearing my son's…read moreprogress, I wanted to learn, so now I take lessons too. Here's what I like about Brian's teaching style, and why I recommend him as a teacher: * gets students off to a fun start - the first chords and strum patterns are used in songs by lesson two or three. If you only study for a few months, you'll still end up knowing how to play some great guitar songs. If you stick with it longer, you'll learn more. * teaches songs the student likes - selects songs that match the lessons and student preferences. * drills the fundamentals, but in a nice way - He won't let you forget to use that metronome and practice those scales * catches mistakes before they become habits - This is so valuable - I don't know what I don't know, and an online you-tube teacher doesn't know either. * encourages students thru the hard stuff - There were skills I did not think I could master - picking strings, barre chords, to name a few. Brian said yes you can, you will, and then sure enough, the skill came in and I am glad I did not give up. * endless patience - Sometimes I need to hear something about a zillion times before it sticks, but Brian never makes me feel bad for forgetting, again. And then eventually it does stick and we move to the next thing. In summary, Brian knows what he's doing as a teacher - knows how to introduce concepts and build from fundamentals, in a way that motivates and is fun. He knows what is hard for students to master and encourages students to push through. Brian took me from complete beginner, to now where I'm having lots of fun playing my guitar, by myself and with friends. And still learning. Five stars for Roswell Guitar Lessons.

We left School of Rock a few years ago. Now that there is new management, we had hopes for families involved and were extremely disappointed to find out that a parent of a very talented School of Rock student received an email threatening enrollment because another student accused her of "blowing" at him. The student in question is very talented and has been a part of School of Rock for 5 years. There were no witnesses to this "blowing at," and it was not captured on camera. The complaining parent stated that the girl made her son uncomfortable because the accused student is on the Autism Spectrum. School of Rock could have used this moment to educate others about neurodiversity, but did not. FYI, School of Rock had no prior instances or concerns about the talented student prior to this one complaint
