It's rare you…read morefind such a clean cozy music store with such warmhearted people and I was delighted to find one. It was definitely a welcome refresh from the corporate music stores of today. They had a wide variety of things in the store which is what first brought us there and we were not disappointed. When we first walked in they instantly remembered us from the phone and allowed us to use one of their rooms in the back to test out some of their products. When we went to check out it was clear it was great value especially considering the level of service. We even chatted with the owner, Dale for a bit and he gave me some helpful tidbits on things like reeds and maintenance. Everyone in the store was so welcoming and kind, it definitely made me feel like a part of such a warm music community. Was a bit out of our way but definitely worth the drive any day. We will for sure be coming back for other essentials and repairs if needed since it was clear it was a shop we could definitely trust! Would absolutely recommend!

As I said, a true gem!

Instruments including guitars, amps and ukuleles. They have a lot of interesting memorabilia type items and kitschy decorative stuff also. They give music lessons too! Becky and I wandered in just to mill around a bit. I found a cool little Fender amp lunch pail that I just had to have. It was under 20 bucks! The two guys working were cool, friendly and helpful. We're very glad that we stopped in. If you go, don't forget to stop and say "Hi" to Rizzo the pug dog!

I booked a consultation with Sal hoping for some pointers and confidence to get through one karaoke song on a cruise. I explained that I'm terrible and not looking for a career, just a little guidance to keep from freezing on stage. He insisted that I might actually be good (and I again told him I'm not) and said he would assess my potential during the consultation. Sal stopped me one minute into the first singing exercise and said I didn't have what it takes to be a singer [agreed]. What was especially disappointing, though, was that he told me not to get on stage because it would "hurt people's ears" or cause people to leave. He didn't charge me, which I appreciate, but I left feeling deflated. Two stars instead of one because the five minutes spent there were free, but it still cost me a hit to my confidence for the cruise. I really wish he had listened to everything I told him I was looking for over the phone so we could have avoided wasting both his time and mine.

I took lessons from Sal for a little over a year. He taught me a lot, and helped me get to a great…read moreplace vocally. He has an incredible amount of skill and knowledge and very fair pricing. What he does not have, however, are healthy relationship skills or communication skills. He becomes cruel when things don't go his way. He made me uncomfortable numerous times during lessons when he would criticize other students to me. This past Sunday, I told him that I was ready to quit lessons after it became very clear to me that I did not have enough time to be at his studio 4-6 hours per week. I explained to him my husbands frustrating work situation and my lack of childcare. I also just received news that a family member has cancer and told Sal I would need to take a trip to see this family member soon, and that would also take away from my time at his studio. He always told me during my lessons that if I ever feel that I don't have the time to let him know because he does not want to waste my time or his. So, I let him know. He responded by calling me stupid, calling me a liar, and he said I have no talent and no future, (which is hilarious because he has told me time and time again how incredible of a voice I have and how I could make it big). He also used demeaning expletives. Please, save your money and time. Sal knows a lot but he is vindictive and cruel. You can find many other vocal coaches with the same amount of knowledge and expertise, without the cruelty. I worry for other artists that may come to him and be crushed by his words, especially younger people who may not be able to see through the verbal attacks. If you disagree with him, his goal is to make you feel small and insecure and like you are nothing without him. It would be wise to seek vocal coaching elsewhere. And Sal, if you reply to this review with the same vitriol and cruelty that you did to others, just know it reflects poorly on you.

Janet plays piano beautifully, and you can really tell how passionate she is about music. She's extremely knowledgeable and has such a natural way of teaching and explaining things. What I especially appreciate about her is how patient she is. She takes her time, makes people feel comfortable, and creates an environment where learning feels fun rather than intimidating. She's also incredibly friendly, caring, and welcoming, which I think is so important in a teacher, especially when someone is learning something new. Her beautiful home provides such a comfortable and inviting setting as well. Between Janet's talent on the piano, her passion for music, and the patience and kindness I've personally experienced from her as an instructor, I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a piano teacher. Five stars!
