piano
Kourosh M.

We had a great experience purchasing our piano at greene. Ken was very informative and helped buy the right piano for us at a great price. thank you!

My new baby!

Highly recommend Greene Music. On Saturday I went in to buy a piano. I knew what model I wanted, but if you don't, they have a tremendous selection at all price points and all styles. Our salesman, Ken, is a piano expert, teacher, and accomplished musician in his own, right. He was absolutely phenomenal. The whole drive home my mother couldn't stop talking about how terrific he was. We expected it to be about two weeks till my piano came, but to my surprise, it was delivered in 48 hours! Got lucky for sure! No matter what age your piano student/player is, green will have the best piano for you.

Very knowledgeable and friendly staff. We found a great newly used piano for our children at this place. Our kids have been taking piano lessons for several years and this is a major upgrade from an upright piano to a baby grand!

I went to Greene Music the weekend they had an SDSU Private Piano Event Sale. The first day, I did look around and they had a great selection of acoustic pianos and I found one that I was interested in purchasing. I went home to do some research and came back a couple of days later. I called back and made an appointment and Ignacio greeted me with a friendly welcoming. He played the piano I was interested in. And I wanted him to compare it with another piano that was a different brand. So glad Ignacio played the other piano and I was so impressed by the beautiful acoustic sound, the color, the keyboard slide cover and the overall appearance of the other piano. I am so happy with the purchase of the Yamaha Piano. Ignacio was very knowledgeable and very helpful. He made it easier for me to decide on which of the two pianos to purchase. Thank you Ignacio and Greene Music for the wonderful experience of buying my first acoustic piano. It looks and sounds beautiful!

Bertrand's Music already did a great job marketing last year to introduce the kids to various instruments, and to provide parents with information about how to secure rental instruments and lessons. The fliers and information were helpful to return to this location. We were fortunate to identify a couple of violins from close friends but they desperately needed restring and repair. We came in Saturday to meet Troy - who was the nicest young man to help us identify the services needed. He provided detailed information about timeline and quote and made the whole experience painless. Mind you~ this is their busiest season at the start of the school year. Even though the building was filled with families, students, crying babies, and various instrument noises.. Troy provided top notch service and executed all needs without a hitch. We submitted instruments on Saturday and received a detailed telephone call by Monday to retrieve the instruments. Even upon return, we had the high fortune of meeting with Troy again. One of his fellow associates (newer in her training) helped us at first. Troy came to the rescue to help clarify the transaction, identified a computer error in billing, and skillfully provided us with the close of transaction needed. He went above and beyond to then offer to tune the instruments using one of their tools behind the counter (and he doesn't even play violin! just knows the ear and use of equipment). The violins sounded lovely. I never met this young gentleman before, but if Troy is the standard of hiring at this type of establishment, he has secured my business and my recommendation to come back to this Bertrand's. He was kind, well informed, and efficient. I was able to have two instruments repaired, tuned and timely prepared for the this wretched band season (I have two very excited musicians and a new box of earplugs.) The prices were reasonable and the service quick. He couldn't have provided better service. Be sure to ask for Troy when you return if you need anything related to music service needs. He made the experience fantastic and we will return and recommend.

She is disciplined and sets clear expectations, which creates a focused learning environment where students truly grow. Both of my children, Ivan and Natalia, have made so much progress under her guidance. She doesn't just teach techniques--she helps kids build confidence, creativity, and attention to detail in their work. What stands out most is that she is a true artist herself, and that passion shows in every lesson. We are very grateful for her impact and the way she inspires her students to improve and express themselves

Update in response to the owner's reply: To San Diego Music…read moreAnd Art owner/contact Max: Your response actually reinforces the reason I left this review. Your instructor, Olga, publicly criticized my child in front of other parents and children. My child is neurodivergent. At times, he may have difficulty following directions, transitioning, or completing more complex instructions. That does not give any instructor the right to shame, embarrass, or publicly criticize a child. What is especially unacceptable is that your staff was already aware of my child's needs. Instead of speaking with me privately, giving me a warning, or trying to understand what support he might need, Olga chose to criticize him in front of others. When I brought this concern to you, I expected the owner to at least investigate what happened and listen to both sides. Instead, you immediately defended your instructor and treated my child as if he were simply the problem. You did not appear interested in understanding what actually happened or in finding a constructive solution. Instead, you joined in criticizing my child. Then, rather than addressing my concern about how your instructor handled the situation, you suspended my child's classes for an entire month. Children--especially neurodivergent children--deserve to be treated with dignity and respect. If a child is struggling to follow instructions, the appropriate response is to communicate privately with the parent and work toward a solution, not publicly embarrass the child and then blame him when the parent raises concerns. Parents should know how situations like this may be handled here before deciding whether this is the right environment for their child.

I've been waiting for 15 mins for the store to open even though the hours say they open at 11:00 am. Their voicemail is full but the recording also says 11:00 am opening. Their website says open at 11:00 am. I'm not quite sure if everything says the store should be open but they aren't open. I purposefully came here to get my guitar strung with fresh strings. I wanted to support local stores specifically. The worker came in around 11:18 am. We all have hard days. I only dinged one star because truthfully it was only one worker for the whole store he was very very apologetic... He cleaned, oiled, and strung my guitar. He took his time and carefully did everything while also having to man the whole store by himself! He apologized profusely when he had to step away to help customers. I could be upset set, but it's the beginning of the year and we're all human. $12 for full restring (all 6 strings) you pay for the cost of the strings you want put on. I chose Elixir for my acoustic electric and those run around $20-ish bucks

It took some convincing (most of last school year), but my 5th grader "decided" to play an…read moreinstrument this year--the violin! Yay! Our school provided a list of required items, based on the instrument selected. They also listed local places where parents can go to rent or buy an instrument. Disappointingly, both of the recommended places are owned by the same big company that has been absorbing local shops the last few years. So I busted out Yelp on my phone and Music Central came up as an option. I gave this shop a call and Charlie was kind enough to answer all of my questions over the phone. He left a great first impression from the different shops I reached out to that morning. I decided to take the afternoon off from work and pick up my daughter early during her minimum day so we could see Charlie while he was working--glad I did! Charlie answered more of my questions and measured my daughter for her first violin (insert proud parent tears of joy here). We discussed rental terms and Charlie answered another round of questions to help make me very comfortable signing a contract. I like how standard repairs (like string replacement) and maintenance (like tuning) are included with my rental. And I LOVE how I can "trade in" my rental for the next size up instrument (in similar condition) without breaking my contract! During our first visit we picked up a few of the required accessories listed for the violin and Charlie gave his recommendations on what is really needed to help save me some money up front. As a dad on a budget, this was much appreciated. This shop has a large collection of acoustic and electric guitars in the back. There are also lots and lots of music sheets in stock too. Much to my surprise, Music Central also has a large collection of ukuleles from different manufacturers. My eldest daughter has been interested in ukuleles for years (we have owned a few inexpensive ones to foster her exploration of this instrument) so this may be the focus a future visit. I mentioned this to Charlie and he shared that he teaches ukulele for the shop. How cool is that?! Thanks for an awesome first visit Charlie! Looking forward to a long relationship with Music Central to help my daughters make beautiful music.

Kyle is a young and energetic UCSD grad (woo hoo go Tritons!) who is passionate about music. He makes learning piano fun and exciting for kids. Kyle was very patient and helpful with our son. He took the time to understand our son's learning ability to tailor his first lesson accordingly. He created such a positive and supportive learning environment where my son felt comfortable. He provided clear and concise instructions, so our son was able to follow along. I value Kyle's integrity because he was honest in advising that our son was a bit too young to comprehend piano instructions and might not fully benefit from taking lessons at this time. We appreciated Kyle's honesty and agreed with his professional opinion. We will revisit having him teach our son next year. I highly recommend Kyle to anyone looking for a great piano teacher. Kyle is a talented musician, a patient and helpful teacher, and he makes learning piano fun and exciting for everyone!

If you want your child to learn and enjoy playing piano, I highly recommend Kyle.
