I started playing as an adult, for my own enjoyment (a hobby) and have discovered that my life is richer as a result of playing. I would not be where I am as a pianist without having a commitment to continuing regular weekly lessons with Nancy. It would be "easier" sometimes to do other activities, but then I would not have the added pleasure of music in my life!! My only regret is that I did not start sooner!

My son was cut by a razor blade left carelessly in his instrument case…read more My child's instrument was returned to us after being in the store's care for repairs. When he reached his hand into the case to get the mouthpiece, he encountered a loose razor blade. He was cut on his index finger and required first aid. The next day, his school nurse contacted me because the finger continued to bleed throughout the day causing discomfort and disruption. This incident was incredibly frightening, shocking, and confusing for our family. Unfortunately, the company's handling of this matter compounded the harm. When I contacted their Customer Support line immediately after this happened, the response was so flippant, I wondered whether this was a normal and common occurrence. Then I was contacted unexpectedly by Sedgwick, the company's claims administrator, hours before I'd even received any response from Music & Arts management taking responsibility for the harm. This made me feel as though the company viewed us first as a liability rather than a parent whose child was harmed by their carelessness. Despite the severity of the situation, it took nearly 48 hours for anyone at Music & Arts to provide written acknowledgment or take any accountability. When I did finally get a response accepting responsibility, the employee identified himself as the "Head of Stores" while having an entirely different title on the email signature and on Linkedin. His response was surface-level and lacking in humanity- clearly AI generated. Their email was boilerplate: it did not address the seriousness of the breach, provide meaningful investigative findings, or explain how they concluded the incident was accidental rather than intentional. It felt like they were trying to sweep this under the rug. Take your business anywhere else. We're going to Sweetwater.

If I'm being honest, I had lost a lot of faith in guitar center based on the Totowa location, and…read morehave been getting my gear largely online or from indie shops as a result. That all changed today. First time in this location, and I'm kicking myself for not stopping here sooner. I've driven past this particular store hundreds of times, but never stopped until today. First observation: this particular store has one of the better layouts I have seen as far as Guitar Center stores go. The space is massive, and everything is easy to find. The store has ample staff, all of whom are eager to help. Despite a large crowd on a busy Saturday, lines were moved quickly and customers were all attended to. Staff was incredibly friendly and struck up conversation about making music. From a drummer's perspective, this place was a jackpot. Nearly half the store was drums. I was thrilled to find a massive snare drum wall, including vintage snares. Cymbal room selection was impressive. Lots of new and second-hand drum kits to see. E-drum selection was massive and had something for everyone's budget. Where the store truly shined was with their ample parts, accessories, and tools for drummers. This is lacking in many other locations. Picked up some things I needed and fair prices (LESS than Amazon!). The staff, again, were pleasant and kind. That makes a huge difference in and of itself. Store was clean and well-organized. This is my new store for buying in-person. Period.
