My experience with Banjo Studio was online and was fantastic. I'm sure in-person experiences are…read moreeven better. I recently purchased a Deering White Lotus banjo from Banjo Studio. David, the owner, answered the phone on the first ring, took the time to speak with me and answer all questions about the banjo. He provided excellent info with a no pressure vibe. Once I ordered, the shipping was lightning fast, well packed, with real time tracking info provided via email. Ordered an accessory for another banjo a week or so later, and it was also shipped immediately with excellent email info. David is also a damn fine musician and used to work for Deering. He knows his stuff. Banjo Studio will henceforth be my first stop for all things banjo - thanks David!

Just wow! I was traveling to New Orleans from Georgia and did a search for banjos. A place called…read more"Banjo Studio" popped up and I couldn't wait to get there. I grabbed an Uber from my hotel and we ended up in a residential area! Confused, I called the studio where I was informed that it was by appointment only. But I could be shown his banjos if I could wait five minutes. It was well worth the wait. David Bandrowski was a very courteous and knowledgeable host as well as an accomplished banjo player. He had a vast supply of quality instruments. I played each one and was impressed with the tone that each banjo brought to my ears. His prices were spot on due to the lack of overhead from using his residence as his business. I highly recommend Banjo Studio and David if you are searching for a lifelong partner to enjoy making some awesome music together.

I was able to find a few good records here from local jazz based artist. I also picked up a cool baseball cap that was created by a local artist. Be sure to stop by this spot as you could potentially run across something pretty unique to the area

I approached this shop about the possibility of trading some of my used cds that I no longer…read morelistened to for used cds in their store. The young man in charge that day said I should deal directly with the owner who would be on premises the next day. I came back with 9 of my cds & asked if the owner would consider a trade. He said that he did not usually engage in trades, but without hesitation he said sure and let me pick out 9 used cds for a straight trade. It took awhile to go through the shop's jumbled collection of used cds, but I ultimately succeeded. Overall a pleasant experience, although I will say that the vast majority of the used cds he had for me to choose from were not to my liking.

This practice space just so happened to be only 5 minutes away from where I am staying in town. It…read moreis also a music school. The staff is very accommodating and hospitable. I believe I met the owner, and if so she is sweet and very helpful. The space has everything you need if you want to practice drums and any other instrument. It's also super affordable, super easy to schedule time to practice (or rehearse for bands and seasoned drummers). I hope to utilize this space a few more times before I leave town. There is free wifi, and you can also rent the bluetooth speaker for $5.00. I am super happy this place is here!

Shortly after moving from Atlanta, my daughter fell in love with the idea of going to NOCCA, the…read moreperforming arts high school in new Orleans.  Wanting to audition in the Jazz discipline and having only classical experience, we knew that she had alot of work to do in a short amount of time.  Finding a jazz piano teacher was our first and biggest priority.  We were so fortunate to find Josh and with his ability to break down jazz music, it's scales and technics, etc., she was accepted into the school the following year.  Truly the first piano instructor she looked forward to seeing, she says he speaks to her like a fellow musician and helps her understand music in that same vain... rather than just notes on a piece of paper.  She leaves every lesson energized and excited about the pieces that they are working on.  I'd recommend him without hesitation.  So very thankful to have found him, he is a gem. (Ps, we gladly drive from the northshore for her lessons... we find them that valuable).
