My family bought various instruments for twenty years from Henson's Music Store in Camarillo, CA…read more We always loved this family owned music store because of the loving care we received. My four older children developed a lifelong passion for band and music because of this lovely store. Henson's family run music store is deeply missed in Camarillo. The Camarillo music store staff helped my four children survive and thrive after the death of a sibling. Music helped my surviving children so much! Music can be so healing. Music helps students academically in math and reading and to focus well when children play instruments beginning in fourth grade or sixth grade through twelfth grade. Playing in band or orchestra helps students be organized and concentrate. it improves self esteem too. Again, music helped to save my four surviving children emotionally. Thank you to the wonderful Henson family! It is truly rare to find such knowledgeable and caring staff in a special family music store. There are many young sales people at other music stores who seem to lack the ability to care about other human beings or develop any concern to learn much about instruments. It appears to be just a job for these sales people. So, it is such a blessing to know Lisa at Henson's Music Center in Oxnard who absolutely understands customer's needs and has excellent values to help them continue loving music. It is their passion to help people gain a love for music and playing instruments. Excellent job Oxnard for having such a great family run music store! I highly recommend you drive to Oxnard to meet Lisa, Lucy, her mother and their caring, knowledgeable staff or extended family. That is why loyal customers keep returning to Henson's Music Center in Oxnard. Customers never need distant or seemingly uncaring music store salespeople. People need knowledgeable and caring music professionals to help transform their lives through music. Thankfully, Henson's Music Center is still in Oxnard. Lisa Henson looked over an almost brand new Yamaha Tenor Sax 480 to check how well it worked. She is a remarkable person. My fifth child and youngest son, is forever grateful to Lisa Henson for her help. The Henson family at Henson's Music Center and their caring staff in Oxnard put so much loving effort into excellent repairs on instruments, lessons and every interaction with all customers. Their authentic nature shines through in all their interactions with people. I highly recommend you drive to Henson's Music Center in Oxnard and avoid any sales people in nearby music stores. The drive to Oxnard especially on side streets, past lovely fields is enjoyable. Plus, the parking is great near this inviting and warm music store. You will be forever changed by the entire knowledgeable and friendly staff.

Quick facts: Sneakers only (no flops, etc.), wear a sweatshirt, call in advance to schedule an appointment, they offer safety glasses (dust, etc.), and hour in length. What we enjoyed about our guide was that he was not only knowledgeable, but sincere. All to say, it's great to know there are still cool dudes in the world :) It fun to speak with some of the employees, though felt a little bad because I did not want to interrupt their work flow. Learned a lot about DW drums, the founder, musicians who believe in Mr. Goods work and would love to purchase from them one day. The full set is their 50th (check the pics) WELL: Though a bit lame nobody returned my call after leaving a voicemail, I would definitely go back again.

The music instruction is gentle and fun yet very thorough and comprehensive. My girls have learned to read music and write their own original compositions.

Over the past four years my girls have learned to play the piano beautifully and it is such a joy to hear their music throughout our home. Music will definitely be a life-long love for our family.

She has a super positive attitude which makes my voice lessons fun and productive. Connie's most common students are learning piano/keyboard. I've watched her with children and she is excellent at keeping them interested in their work. I tutor kids myself, I can say she's really good at communicating and encouraging children. She teaches a lot of kids but I see adults there as well. One thing I really like to do is go to the recitals she hosts. At these recitals she allows the opportunity for her students to perform for an audience of parents, friends and peers. I've actually played my violin at one of the recitals and she allowed me to bring a bunch of friends so we could make up a band! For singing and piano lessons, I totally recommend Paradise Music Academy!

Charlie was patient, friendly, knowledgable and methodical in his approach helping me to begin to master some of the foundational basics, while also providing insights into music theory. He is a multi-talented musician who plays more than just guitar and his teaching style and pace worked well for me as an adult. The one thing I would do differently is to take 1-hour lessons from the start versus 30 minute session. That was a poor decision on my part. While my initial time learning with Charlie was fairly short due to some other commitments of mine that disputed our ongoing schedule, I learned a reasonable amount during the time we worked together and could go back again when time permits.
