Lee gave us such an amazing offer on one that was too great to pass up and just buy it. The flute was so beautiful, along with a case. I can not express the amount of thankfulness we are to him.

This place is a joke! The inventory is abysmal and the owner, Lee, is a transparent, pushy salesman…read morewho reeks of desperation. I came in looking for a guitar on a Saturday which wasn't in stock. After waiting around for him to call his "guy," Lee said he could possibly order it. Cool. He didn't get back to me until Monday afternoon around 4. By then I had already found what I was looking for at another dealer. After I thanked Lee for trying to find what I was looking for, I inquired about getting a guitar repaired at his shop. Instead of hopping on the chance to secure some business for his clearly struggling store, he decided that was the best time to rant about the "hard work he did" to find the guitar and how it was "unfair that I didn't want to buy it from him." (even though no order had been placed on my end) He didn't even give me a quote for repairs, he just whined about losing a sale to a better equipped business. Talk about shooting yourself in the foot. He could have made a quick buck on a few guitar repairs and possibly earned additional business if he didn't feel the need to lecture customers about their purchasing habits. Don't let the absence of a website trick you into believing this place must rely on strong word of mouth to get by. Other than an out of place Ariana Grande drum head, Lowe's Music has nothing worth checking out. It's cramped, unorganized, and is a perfect example of incompetent ownership that is keeping large stores like Guitar Center thriving. While I'm all for supporting local businesses, this is one SVC shop that I wont feel sorry for after the owner runs it into the ground.

Our youngest 9 has been learning the electric guitar with Matt. She's always excited for her lessons and has learned so much.

She's finds it cool that he's so talented in so many different instruments, His passion for music really shows. We highly recommend them to anyone who is looking for a positive and encouraging place to learn.

I went to this music store to inquire about saxophone lessons and rent an instrument for my child…read more They took my information but never called back. After multiple calls from my end, I finally got in touch with the manager, ordered the instrument online, and scheduled the first lesson. The manager promised to call when the instrument arrived, but again, no follow-up. When I called, another associate informed me the instrument was there, but the instructor had pushed the lesson by a week without notifying us. When I arrived to pick up the instrument, the staff seemed completely disinterested. No one provided guidance or assistance beyond just handing it over. Overall, the lack of communication, customer service, and general interest in helping new clients--especially kids excited to learn music--was disappointing. I ended up finding another instructor elsewhere. This place clearly does not value its customers or take pride in bringing up the next generation of musicians. Would not recommend.

Armando is a natural teacher and is especially wonderful with kids -- patient, encouraging, and able to make learning both fun and motivating. Over the years, my son has progressed tremendously as a guitarist thanks to Armando's guidance. Recently, LSM gave him the opportunity to play in a rock band with other students and perform at a music festival. He absolutely loved the experience, and it has made him even more excited and committed to practicing and growing as a musician. We are incredibly thankful for the opportunities, support, and community that The Little School of Music has provided. Highly recommend to any family looking for music lessons for their kids!

I appreciated how thorough they were with their safety practices including background checks for staff, doorbell and front desk staff monitoring who is entering the facility, and their kid-only zone where even parents need to be escorted back for the children's safety. We received a tour of the facility, my child had their drum lesson, and I was able to run and grab a coffee knowing my child was safe. The culture at school of rock appears to be one of kindness, respect, and inclusivity. Needless to say, we signed my child up for their first ever music lessons and I could not be more excited to return next week!

Unfortunately, the experience was disappointing due to poor communication and a lack of professionalism from the staff--specifically Holly, the assistant general manager. At the first class, no one explained what to expect. Holly didn't offer a tour, walk us through the process, or provide any orientation. My daughter was taken to the back without explanation, and I was told I couldn't accompany her--no reassurance, no details, nothing. I had no idea what was happening during the class. The next day, we returned for the Rock 101 group trial. Once again, no one offered any guidance. When I asked if I could see where she was/what she was doing, Holly stated only instructors could be in the back and passively allowed me to peek into the back but didn't bother to walk me through the space or address my concerns. After the second class, I asked about pricing. Holly told me she'd email me--she never did. I waited until the following week and then had to follow up myself, but never received a reply. My daughter enjoyed the classes themselves and was excited to continue, but the lack of transparency, poor follow-through, and dismissive attitude from the front desk staff made me uncomfortable moving forward. Parents deserve to feel confident and informed, especially when leaving young children in someone else's care. Disappointed overall.

I had additional questions as a first time electric guitar purchaser so I asked the front staff for assistance. Thankfully Joseph was able to help me. I have to say, it felt like talking to a genuine friend. He treated me with the greatest of respect and I felt like his input was sincere. It made what can be a daunting experience a thoroughly enjoyable one. I was able to ask the millions of questions I had and his help eased my mind. I left a happy customer and for further purchases I will be coming here. Can't wait to go pick up the amp! Thank you, Joseph! EDIT: Not sure what account I posted this originally.

We are so grateful for having found Susan. She not only is an extremely talented musician, but as a teacher, she has such a special way with her students - she is patient but firm and has a way of encouraging and inspiring her students to do their best. My son thrived under Susan's care. And the most amazing thing about Susan is how she raised 4 daughters who are also very accomplished and beautiful inside and out! Raising 4 kids successfully, above all, is a testament to Susan's commitment and character. I highly recommend Susan as a piano teacher. She's one of the kind. My whole family will definitely miss working with her when my son goes to college next year.
