    Learning with the pro
    Anna G.

    John is a good drum instructor, knowledgeable and patient. I see that he is developing a good relationship with my son (6 yrs old). He's taking time and effort to understand the needs and abilities of his student. He encourages his student to work on their skills and provide positive feedback. My son gets excited every time John say " you are doing great" and when he makes mistake he says "it's ok, I make mistake too". I'm glad I found a good instructor for my son. Not to mention John's studio is safe and clean.

    Carter crushing drums thanks to John James!

    When my son started begging me for drum lessons I was truly lost on where to find a great teacher. I found John James the Great via Yelp and feel it's my duty to confirm all the outstanding reviews! John James is one of the most incredibly gifted teachers, with the patience of a monk, and he has lit a passion in my son for drums and nurtured it over the past 6 months. I'm blown away by his ability to really get my *very active 6 year old* to focus for 45 min straight! I cannot say enough about how grateful we are to find such a brilliant and dedicated teacher. And if you get the chance to watch him play I can assure you it is the greatest treat! Thank you John James, we are infinitely grateful for your talent and teaching prowess!

For starters, the windows and posters have seen their days that one might think that it is out of business, but it is in fact not and quite the opposite - tons of space inside! They have a variety of instruments and supplies, including a cleaning swab which I was looking for. And the plus is that they also offer music lessons in private rooms - even same day! I had an initial same-day oboe lesson with Phil, and we had great conversation. However, I have to admit that I didn't learn too much, and that we spent most of the time talking. The person working at the front was pretty chill, but paying for lessons wasn't very clear from the beginning - recommend being more specific with those. Their website is via Tumblr (?) which is a surprise. Lessons were $40 / session, and they recommend one session per week (but how long is a session?). Overall, I wish that there was more clarity on this side from time to payment the moment that we signed up. Parking was fairly easy to find on the street or in the lot in the back. However, do note that parking on the street is via metered parking and not free most hours. Return? Potentially for some music books!
