My oldest won the All-State Musician for Musical Theater when they were 6 thanks to the education they received at Harmony. Both of my children received Outstanding awards most years as well, which is like the "runner up" to the all-state winner. They both had different teachers at different times and learned new things from each. The flexibility of the studio to provide different instructors whenever a change is needed is invaluable. My husband also took Guitar lessons from Tony and learned a lot! He wasn't looking to perform, just to play for himself, and Tony was able to create a lesson plan tailored to his specific needs. I worked with Michelle when I was president of the Galveston Music Teachers Association, and I would (and do) recommend her to students all over the clear lake/Friendswood area since I retired from teaching 5 years ago.

Here is the best part though, when picking up my Martin, I inquired about them fixing one of my other guitars for me. I have an old guitar that was broken around 2005, and all this time thought was a lost cause due to other shop saying it couldn't be fixed, however after showing it to Mike and Chase, they were willing to try and fix it, and they did! It was broken some 19 years ago, and this whole time it's gnawed at the back of my mind that it was broken and would never be properly playable ever again, and they were able to fix it, for $97!!! They took a sadness that has been hanging on my shoulders for almost two decades, something I've always been mad about with how it was broken, and lifted that sadness away. Truly amazing, and I'm so grateful for their expertise. Plus, they're exceptionally personable and nice, which is everything you want when needing help. I will be a regular from here on out for anything I need. Thanks again, guys, y'all rock!

The ballet testing and advancement is structured under the Sonshine Christian Syllabus which is available online to review. We have been very pleased with the recitals as well. Absolutely moving.

My son has been going to Friendswood Music and More for over three years, and we are thrilled with…read morethe experience we have had there. There's really nothing we don't love about it. First, my son is super happy to get dropped off and even sometimes wants to go back after he gets in the car to go home. He comes home with about three really cool art projects each day, and he is always really fond of his art. I believe each project ties into some kind of lesson, so that might be why he always has an emotional attachment to his art. I've also noticed that he's become much more interested in doing art at home. For example, before, he would sort of halfheartedly make marks on paper with crayons or markers, and now he fills the paper up with scribbles and then asks for more paper. It's a special place and I know my son is better for having gone there.

*** The Motto to my Story***…read more There is only one place to buy keyboards. ////// GUITAR CENTER ////// Why? Because buying one can be a daunting experience for an older guy like me. GUITAR CENTER makes it affordable and easy. Their prices are the same as the competition... More importantly, they trust you for 45 DAYS to test your new keyboard. I went through several purchases until I settled on one. Can you imagine the shipping costs I would have endured to return several online purchases? By now return shipping would have equaled the price of the keyboard... BUT GUITAR CENTER never charged me for restocking... not one cent, ever. Now more about the Motto to my story... I am talking about the best store manager ... His name ironically is Andy Motto. Andy Motto's interest, professionalism, and patience with me made it all happen successfully. He has been with me on my journey that started one year ago... For example, my recent purchase in February 2025 had a couple of bad keys. Andy correctly ordered a replacement which arrived in 10 days, but it was a lesser model. Back it went... with another reorder... yes ... that too from the warehouse was the same lesser model. So... Andy called the central warehouse and figured out what had happened... and today I am driving to Webster TEXAS to pick up the correct replacement --- He even pictured the shipping label to be sure we had the right one. Thank you, Andy... Thank you Guitar Center...
