So far my experience has been great…read more The North Buffalo school is well equipped and my instructor takes the time to figure out how I learn the best and will try different ways to explain and demonstrate what they are trying to teach. You also get access to their online learning program that allows you to record your progress and share with your instructor. There are hundreds of songs in the library to help learn your instrument to and play along with the actual song. They also offer band lessons and help put you together with other musicians at your level to make a band. You can practice together and the school has performances organized etc... i am not there yet but it's cool and being able to go out to local venues and see fellow students perform is quite motivating. Overall it has been a great experience. Also the director is a veteran and you get a permanent discount if you are too.

They really care about their students and their program. My sons have had wonderful experiences at the school and have grown as people as well as musicians . Being a part of the SOR performance program has given them a sense of belonging as well as lifted their self-esteem. My eldest son was able to get a lucrative job, though he is still an older teenager due to his knowledge and hard work at SOR in addition to some other great qualities he has. SOR is a place where students up to 18 years old can be themselves and discover music and get a chance to perform in actual venues in this wonderful city that is so much defined by music. Adult students have the chance to learn instruments or singing that they may have always wanted to learn, but never had a chance, for others, it proves to be a great activity be where they can develop skills make friendships. They too get to perform in venues. All of the students have one-on-one lessons with professional musicians. I just can't say enough good things about it, and I know that my children are better for having been a part of the SOR family.

You can never get bored in this store :) ! And amazingly, most of these quality items are very reasonably priced :) !

I can give an unqualified exceptional reference for Chris as an amazing guitar teacher. We…read morestarted 2 years ago with Chris for lessons for my 13 year old son. But as my son had been playing for 6 years, he could already read tabs and learn intermediate difficulty songs on his own. So Chris asked if he wanted to learn music theory and did a great job over a year starting with a simple scale and now my son can improvise any song, in any key, in most modes. We never would have gotten this exceptional teaching from a local music store. We started with 30 minute lessons but because my son was advancing quickly, we moved up to an hour. It was money well spent. Chris also keeps it fun, switching the lessons to learning interesting guitar songs and solos. Last week, my son played Pink Floyd's Comfortably Numb and it's intricate solos at Chris's guitar recital/concert. He really stepped up his game here and for a small fee per student, hired a professional sound engineer and a videographer. He played the backing track music without the guitar, so my son did not have to play over the existing guitar player on the song. It sounded awesome! As if my son was really in the band. Sound engineer did a great job and the video turned out great! I have personally been playing guitar on and off for 32 years. I sit in on each lesson and am always impressed with the quality of Chris's teaching, including learning new things myself along the way. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced musician, Chris will make you a much better player.

"It'd be so fun to learn guitar someday."…read more "Someday." I'd told myself that for several years. I even got an inexpensive acoustic guitar one Christmas, and on more than one occasion I picked it up and looked for YouTube videos. Surely I could teach myself, right? I fantasized about how fun it would be to be able to strum through my favorite 80's power ballads around a campfire with friends. But inevitably, my efforts at self-teaching ended in frustration. I finally concluded that unless I got serious and took lessons, "someday" learning guitar would end up becoming "never." I searched Yelp for guitar teachers and came across Chris Primeau. I've been taking lessons with Chris for roughly one hour a week over the past year, and I'm staggered at my own progress. I can play dozens of songs with confidence. A year ago I couldn't play jack. It's one thing to be tremendously talented at something (which Chris is), but it's another skill set to be able to transfer that information clearly to a student. Chris strikes a really great balance--tons of patience as you work through tasks, but also continually pushing you to grow. I look forward to every lesson. If you're on the fence, just pull the trigger and book a lesson. Don't be surprised if his schedule fills up, but trust me when I say it's 100% worth the effort to get started with him. You'll be glad you did.
