Came in to get some help for the fret buzz on my new beginner bass from amazon. Help was offered as…read moresoon as I walked in the door and the employee immediately got to work after quickly diagnosing the issue. He told me it wouldn't be perfect since it is a very affordable bass and that I could purchase a full set up, but that it'd probably be a better investment to put that cost toward an instrument upgrade down the line instead. After a few minutes of adjustments, I was offered a cable to hook up to one of the in store amps to try it out. SO much of an improvement! I wasn't even charged for the service. I wanted to look at gig bags afterward but noticed they seemed to all be in an employee only area. A staff member almost immediately noticed me and showed me their options. When I said I'd do some more shopping around and would keep theirs in mind, there was absolutely 0 pressure to try to make a sale. The customer service was fantastic and felt very genuine--no pushing to make a sale or upsell something I didn't really need. Especially as a beginner who wouldn't necessarily know better, it's so valuable to feel like the person helping you actually cares about your best interest as opposed to just making a sale. Super happy with my experience and I'll definitely be back in the future for any of my musical needs!

They also do music lessons. I have interacted with three different teachers and all have been fantastic. The service is top notch and they also have a little café in the middle to get coffee. Highly recommended if you are in the market for an instrument, lessons or just want to go and look.

In my experience of almost 8 years now (time really flies), not only Chris but the entire staff has been nothing but friendly and accommodating. They were flexible when I wanted to try something new, and totally supportive of how I went about it. They really are fantastic teachers, and the results speak for themselves. if you are considering Perfect Harmony, I say sign up in a heartbeat. You won't regret it!

Oh boy where to even start first of all these people are only just teaching kids songs from other…read moresingers/songwriters they barely have any class about writing your own songs as a band it is really expensive for what you get there if you want to learn songs at a cheaper price and way more than what you would get here then opus is the place for you go check them out I'm more successful learning from a retired guitar teacher I have lots of friends that go to opus and they tell me how awesome it is there one of them went on about how much better that place is which I refuse to say the persons name so don't ask plus there was a day when they bought dominos pizza and were reselling it for 5 dollars a slice!!!

First of all, when you walk in the door you are treated like a good friend. Everyone truly cares…read moreabout making you the musician you want to be. I have been playing since I was 14. I am 50 and taking guitar lessons for the first time. In just 4 sessions my playing has progressed by leaps and bounds and I've never enjoyed playing more. They customize sessions for almost any instrument and any age. Kinda cool sitting in the lobby at 50 with my guitar, next to a 6 year old girl and her guitar. I dont want to be in a band, but if you do they will teach you everything you need to know from how to play an instrument to how to play with others. They actually set up gigs at local locations and put you and other students center stage to actually play in front of a crowd. Whether you are 50 and just want to shred some Metal in your livingroom, or 6 and want to be a drummer in a band, you are surrounded by fun friendly folks that want you to succeed just as much as you do. Go to Hammersmith.rock and join the family. You have a dream and they can make it come true. Friendly, fun and flexible. The instructors and the students are awesome. Hammersmith truly rocks. Get in there for enrollment is limited and fills up quick. Weather you want to learn an instrument from scratch, or like myself, take what you already know to a new level, this is the place, these are the people. ROCK ON!
