The whole experience was effortless. Will surely rent from them again if need be!

My 8 yr old is taking lessons with Jaime, and she is very patient and explains why things have to be done a certain way, which my daughter really likes.

Lessons here are super affordable and rescheduling is easy. They even let you play the instruments for lessons so if you don't have one you can still learn.

Sometimes there is a wait to check kut when they are busy but otherwise it's been a mostly good experience for us.

I've been taking guitar lessons from Joe Polito at Allegro for about a year now. Joe is laid back,…read morefunny, super friendly, very patient, and most importantly, a great teacher. If there's a such thing as intrinsic musical talent, I have none whatsoever, but Joe believes that anyone can learn to play music. When I started, I literally didn't even know how to hold the guitar properly, but over the past year Joe has helped me make a ton of progress. He's great at explaining both the theoretical aspects of music, and the practical aspects of guitar playing, such as what finger placement to use when playing difficult riffs. I've still got a long way to go with my guitar playing, but I'm certain that I wouldn't have gotten nearly as far as I have without Joe's instruction.

The location is very convenient, with a large parking lot. The price is very reasonable and much cheaper from where my child initially took violin lessons. When everything shutdown due to shelter-in-place directives, Eric quickly pivoted to holding his lessons on Zoom and my child's lessons just continued on as normal. Eric is also flexible with rescheduling lessons. I am very happy with Eric and very highly recommend him for anyone who wants to learn a string instrument.

My son is 9 and has just started the bass. He had 2 lessons and then his 3rd lesson was cancelled…read more We turned up the next week and the scheduler realised they had made a mistake and the teacher was away this week not last. His teacher then cancelled the next lesson. We turned up today and the teacher was 15 minutes late, told us the scheduler told him we had cancelled and then disappeared into the back to argue with the scheduler about it and never came back. My son has now missed 4 consectutive lessons. 2 of which we drove him to and had them cancelled after we arrived. Really spirit crushing for a kid who's just getting into an instrument. He's been paractising the same 5 notes at home for a month now. We're going to cancel and take him somewhere serious. Total time wasters here.

Rescheduling lessons is a pain, though. For my son's instrument there is one and only one teacher who teaches 3 days of the week, and their flexibility when they've had no available make-up slots has varied. It was nightmarish a year ago, and better lately. My kids have been in lots of other classes/programs and rescheduling at Bach to Rock is just different. Also, when my son has been a little sick, well enough to play but didn't want to expose his teacher, they still charged us for the lesson... which is in line with their policies, but the other private teachers we've worked with have been kinder about illness especially when the key concern is protecting them.

Would definitely recommend him as a teacher!

I have learned to play a wide variety of songs from several Beatles tunes to some classical. I strongly recommend lessons from Brian. BR

I've been taking guitar lessons from Half Note Music School for about six months now and I highly…read morerecommend them! First, some background: I considered myself an "adult beginner", though I've played around with a guitar since high school. I knew the basic open chords and a few songs from the various "Teach Yourself Guitar" books I'd gone through. I'd often thought about taking lessons, but never quite got around to it. As it turns out, one of my friends had been taking guitar lessons at Half Note Studio for about two years. When I asked her about it, she said she'd learned a lot and recommended I give Jack a call. I arranged a free initial lesson with Jack. I was nervous going into the studio, but Jack was quite friendly and quickly made me feel at ease. We went over what I knew and talked about what I wanted to get out of lessons. In my case, I was looking to learn more music theory and get some "proper" guitar instruction. Six months later, I still look forward to my regular guitar class! I'm developing a better understanding of music theory, improving my ear training, getting better at sight reading and generally developing a deeper appreciation for what I can do with the guitar. Jack's a great instructor and very flexible in terms of tailoring his lessons to the needs of the particular student. If you've ever thought about taking music lessons as an adult, I say give Jack and Half Note Music Studio a try!

I've played the guitar on and off for over a decade. Jack - my guitar instructor - quickly learned where my past musical experience placed me and tailored our lessons to my skill level. I have no formal singing experience, and Amy has been wonderful helping me learn how to better use my voice. She has given me several different techniques that are easy to practice in my spare time. I have come a long way with both my instruments and I'm very satisfied with these lessons. As is common these days, my lessons were all over Skype and Zoom, but I hear the studio is open now for those that can attend in person.
