    The best violinist for events in Birmingham! I hired Karen for both my anniversary dinner at my…read morehome on solo violin and for my daughter's wedding with her string trio. She played all my requested songs at my private dinner and surprised my husband when she played his favorite Beatles tune Blackbird on violin. For my daughters wedding, Karen gave us a private consultation (you'll pay extra for this - but totally worth it) where our daughter could discuss and hear songs played on the violin. I thought she would want Traditional wedding march like I had when I got married. She asked Karen if she knew Elvis Presley Cant Help Falling in Love, All if Me, Cohens hallelujah and Mozart Eine Klein Nachtmusic. Karen did not blinkj an eye and said yes to everything. We did not mind paying a little more for special services like the amp and playing a little longer for the prelude and after for cocktail music. Karen suggested an amp for the cocktail music which was perfect for our venue. I'd highly recommend Karen for your event. She is highly professional offering more than expected and playing beautifully.

    I haven't been to Guitar Center in forever! There was an ad for a free guitar lesson/open house and…read moreI will forever do something random that is free. The air wasn't working and Jacob (my instructor) and I were definitely sweating like we were in a sauna. Lol He was great though as far as answering questions and being patient. I didn't necessarily get far, but I did get an idea of how to play a few notes on an electric guitar and I actually had fun learning. He also helped me pick out a couple of starter guitars that were cheap if I wanted to just grab something, but not feel like I wasted money if I didn't use it often. The manager, Brandon, checked in before my lesson and after. Both individuals were personable. Tip: Go ahead and have an idea of what you would like to play and have a song in mind. I was under the impression that they had select guitars that they would allow you to use and that there were set songs to choose from but I was wrong. It is nice that you have choices though!

He said he had only been at that store a short while. To make a long story short I went in, and he was very nice and helped me pick out different guitar and I am very pleased with it and the service he gave. I'm sorry I forgot his name.

    First of all, I would highly recommend Fred Song, he is an amazing piano instructor at Birmingham…read moreSchool of Music. We loved the instruction he gave my son and the growth my son displayed over the past year on piano with the school. Thank you, Fred. However, I was shocked at Russ Maddox, the owner of the Birmingham School of Music's response to my statement of cancellation. We had previously had a very positive relationship when he supported a sound project my son was involved in and I even wrote him a great recommendation for his website and gave him a gift for the time he spent helping us. However, I was totally taken aback by Russ' unprofessionalism and threatenting remarks that were made to me when I told him I was terminating our contract with the school. I gave him a 30 day cancellation notice to immediately terminate my son's existing contract (which I was told we could cancel anytime). This decision was based on multiple factors. The BSOM's business model requires you to be a part of the performer program that charges more each month and also charges parents and family members to attend the performances each month that they perform. They also elect who performs and how often they perform. It really wasn't working out for us and I wanted to return to regular lessons as a result and not incur the additional charges since the benefit didn't outweigh the cost for me. Over the year and quarter we were there, and a part of the program, my son only performed 4 times. I told Russ we were willing to go back to regular lessons without the performer status at the original price and he said they don't offer that option. There was no flexibility in his business model, so I told him that we will need to cancel immediately, since he was unwilling to compromise and I was never told we couldn't go back to the original rate. I had already paid for the month of November (since the notification was on Nov 3) and we would end it after that. He then told me I had would have to pay for the month of December too after giving them a 30 day notice at the top of November. Really! I responded by saying: "When does anyone have to give a 2 month cancellation notice for any service when I was clearly told at registration it was 30 days?" As a result, I told him we would not be taking lessons through to the end of December and to cancel the subscription immediately and only pay for the month of November, as I had given him a 30 day notice. Russ responded by saying:" You don't have the money, it's a Money thing." And then he threatened to report me to the Credit agency for not paying. . . like, WHAT? What business professional would tell someone they don't have any money and threaten to report a client who has been in great standing for over a year and never missed a payment. AND BTW, it's not a money thing, Russ! It's YOU, and the business processes you put in place. You are working on getting the most you can out of your exisiting client base instead of being flexible with your business model to accomodate your clients needs. We were being overcharged for a service that wasn't what we wanted to continue as the value was NOT outweighing the cost. Instead of increasing charges on existing customers you might benefit by focusing on customer retention and drumming up new business. This mother knows you catch way more bees with honey vs. vinegar. No where on earth do you HAVE to give a music school 60 day cancelation notice, we've been to a few. You may also benefit by actually sitting in on the sessions of your students to understand the caliber of talent you have in your school instead of just announcing them on performance day. Note, threats directed at me or any of your clientel will not and should not be tolerated - it's offensive at best.
