STAY FAR AWAY FROM MUSIC LESSONS HERE…read more We traded in our son's violin for a pair of clarinet lessons with Victor, who I would not trust around anyone's children. Our 11 year old son, who loves the clarinet and absolutely loves music class in school, was shamed for not being as good a clarinet player as the instructor (who spent a considerable amount of time during the lesson showing off and playing the instrument instead of trying to teach). The instructor, Victor, ridiculed our son for not knowing how to read music well, and also took posters down off of the walls when he said the boy was being distracted.  When our son was crying, the instructor, Victor, even blamed our son and said, "Why are you crying? I didn't do anything." This clarinet instructor, Victor, is absolutely terrible with children and I can't believe he does this for a living. After the session, he was brazen enough to psychoanalyze the child IN FRONT OF HIM and say that "he doesn't take constructive criticism well." Telling someone that they aren't good enough or  are doing something wrong is not constructive criticism. There's nothing constructive about derisive language. An entry-level child student is looking for instruction, support, and uplifting, not negative reinforcement. Instead of clarinet lessons, what we received was abuse and an insult to music instructors everywhere. TERRIBLE. 0/5 stars

I highly recommend going to Garron for any of your Piano needs and I hope him and his business is around when I eventually plan to upgrade to a baby grand.

He is very personable and is really passionate about the quality of his Steinway pianos. He said his pianos go through a five months restoration process to make them like new. Don't expect a fancy piano showroom. The store is located in a plain storefront with street parking. He said by keeping the overhead low, he can sell the pianos for less. About ten days after delivery to the house, Bob sent Dan, the piano tuner, to make sure the piano is tuned and setup perfectly. We highly recommend the Piano Store if you want a high quality fully restored Steinway grand piano at the right price.
