Not only does my violin sound better than it ever has, it's easier to play too. They also did some cosmetic work, and it really does look much nicer. When we went to pick the violin up, we returned our rental and we were greeted with an opportunity to go to a practice room and test it out. Everyone was extremely kind and helpful, and I could really tell that they cared about my satisfaction with the repair. They also gave me great care advice when I asked. I'm so thrilled to have my violin sound so nice and for it to be so well taken care of. For any string instrument repair, I would extremely highly recommend. I am sure their lessons are top notch too, though I haven't experienced for myself.

I started my son Alexander who has a IEP in school and is on the spectrum (special needs) when he was 8years old playing ukelele. He since has continued playing uke and over the past 4 years has been taking lessons for piano to get ready for his next year marching band audition for Cherry Creek High School! He had held a A+in his middle school band all through 6th, 7th, and now 8th grade he's way ahead of his peers in so many areas of music. Fast forward to 2 years ago our oldest son wanted to audition and compete for first chair trumpet in his band class as a junior in high school at cherry creek high school. He felt he maxxed out with where he was at and needed that extra push and tutoring to acheive more. He asked me to sign him up for private trumpet lessons this past summer. Here we are in September of same year and after a summer of private lessons he auditioned and made FIRST CHAIR TRUMPET in his band class and for Cherry Creek Marching Band !!! (Did I mention CCHS ranked #1 for welcome week and in 5A tournament )!!! Wendy&Dale are the best ! All the instructors they hire are top notch and our invested in their students to succeed and not just in music but the why behind music , their self esteem, and technical skills that go along with it. I could t be more blessed to have found this school for my children. I have two other kids that will also play music this year. One more trumpet and one more piano or drums!!! This school has an amazing g new facility that they are in the process of moving into because they grew out of their old one ! They are so humble but I feel like if there is anyone out there that is looking for a true music school who will help their child learn music, love music appreciate music and embrace music this has to be the school they enroll in!!! Thank you CMI for all you have done and continue to do !! Congratulations on your award for National Music School of the Year!!!!!!!!

School of Rock Highlands Ranch is one of those gems, and we are so grateful to be part of this amazing community. From the moment you walk in the door, you can feel the difference. Andy, Holly, and the entire staff are phenomenal people--kind, caring, and genuinely invested in every student's journey. Every child is greeted by name, every parent feels welcome, and you immediately know you're in a safe, comfortable space where people matter. It's not just a music school--it's a community. Our daughter is thriving in the Rookies group class, where she's not only learning music but also growing in confidence and teamwork. On top of that, my wife and I are part of the Adult Performance Program, and it has been an absolute blast. Playing music together, laughing, and sharing the stage has been one of the most fun and rewarding experiences of our adult lives. The quality of instruction here is second to none. The teachers are talented, knowledgeable, and--most importantly--relatable. They know how to connect with kids and adults alike, making lessons inspiring and fun while still challenging students to grow. The vibe is electric--you can't help but feel motivated and excited to learn when you're here. It's hard to put into words just how much this place means to us. School of Rock Highlands Ranch is more than a school; it's a place where you will be seen, valued, and encouraged. Whether you're just starting your musical journey or looking for a place to keep growing, look no further. You'll learn, you'll be challenged, and most of all--you'll have a ton of fun. We wholeheartedly recommend School of Rock Highlands Ranch to anyone who wants music to become a joyful, life-changing part of their story.

If only I had taken…read moreas much care to put my Vintage Guild Acoustic securely on the stand as I do my daughter on the changing table, I might have never had a need for Victor Guitar. Nevertheless, a face plant to the hardwoods left me with a broken headstock. I dropped it off at Victor Guitar and they gave me two options: 1. The pro fix involving splines 2. The less invasive fix involving pressure and glue for about 1/2 the cost. Since I don't gig anymore, I went with the second option. Two days later, I picked up my Guild and could hardly tell anything had ever happened. A quick scan revealed the action a bit higher on the bass side of the neck, so Tom happily adjusted the truss rod for no extra charge. I'm happy to note that I've since since enjoyed a second session with my little girl, who was 100% satisfied with dad's performance as Dad is with Victor Guitar.....I think. Great guys. Custom shop and feel. Great customer service. Highly recommended.

You can also see where the old pick guard was and when you lay the old pickguard on top of the new they are not the same size. First time I've came here and I came because of all of the reviews. I need to have tuners replaced. I won't have them do it. It cost $410. I also failed to mention that when they repaired the cracked bridge, they put in new pins and kept the originals. That is on me for not noticing and asking about them. I don't play and I inherited this guitar from an old friend who just passed away. They did leave me the old original pick guard. I am now going to have the guitar completely refurbished.
