My then-fiancée and I were planning a very DIY wedding and we didn't want to hire a DJ. Looking online we were starting to think that we were going to have to spend a lot of money to rent an audio setup that would accommodate our needs. One of my wife's coworkers suggested we try Libertyville Music, so we called for an estimate and were shocked to find out how affordable they were. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable. I picked up the equipment the day before the event, and my family returned it the day after. Couldn't have been easier. Oh, I should mention that the map displayed in the sidebar gives the wrong location for this business. Libertyville Music is located on the southwest corner of Milwaukee Ave and Lincoln Ave.

The staff is so helpful and friendly. I know little about musical instruments but they put us in a good position to have our kids excel! We have only had wonderful teachers amd flexibility with lesson times has been great. One cool thing is the lesson rooms have cameras, so you can sit in a little lounge area and watch as the screen rotates through the rooms. And of course you can hear them play from the lounge too!

Our account kept getting disconnected from autopay, so we had to call in every month to make a payment. And every time you call, you end up explaining the same thing over and over again. I went in today to return my child's instrument because we're moving, and even after explaining that, I was asked multiple times if we wanted to keep it. The pushiness was unnecessary, especially coming from the store manager. I don't care if they have locations nationwide -- we're moving and I just wanted to end the contract, but it felt like they were trying hard to keep the sale. I can recommend them for pricing, but that's about it. Expect billing issues, long wait times, and a lot of hassle. Also, at the start of the school year, they run out of instruments fast, so inventory is another issue.

No I talked to him on the phone before our appointment for 20 minutes and never felt rushed. He's patient, but more importantly, very pragmatic and articulate. He is a true educator. He could identify issues in my playing literally in seconds, he can explain things in different ways, and demonstrate them. I am that guy who just plays 2 riffs he's comfortable with over and over, and then won't pick up my guitar for a month. Im 2 lessons in, and Justin has given me a path forward. I can see myself improve, I actually want to play. He's got a chill attitude. I think he also has a good sense for pushing your limits, but not so much as to be frustrating or stressful. It's actually FUN. 11/10

Justin is an exceptional guitar teacher. I've been having difficulties finding the right teacher…read moreuntil I came across his page. He is very straightforward with his lessons. My past guitar teachers seemed either impatient or bland with their lessons. I was learning chords from them and simple songs but I was easily bored. With Justin, he educated me on modes and economy picking, which set me off to a great start. I actually looked forward to our lesson even though he was an hour drive away from my house. In addition, he is full of knowledge with the metal world and would educate me on where certain riffs came from or the history of death metal. I think it's important to understand the history of the music you're passionate about and he certainly helped me become more knowledgeable about the music I love. He's incredibly patient and every time we had a lesson, I would feel more comfortable playing in front of him (I have stage fright). He truly loves teaching and I'm happy I found him. You won't be disappointed. Take lessons from him and you'll fall in love with guitar in no time.

He can look like a scary guy behind the counter but that is so far from the truth. He is an amazing guy. So friendly and helpful to everyone. Honest business man and great music lessons.

Go check it out if you need lessons or just need new strings. Support the little local guys like Jimmy.

I brought up the price on my phone found him again and showed it to him and although he obviosly didn't want to look and be bothered he glanced quickly and said that's only the price if you order online and tried to walk away again. I got frustrated and spoke in a louder than normal tone and said so your telling me you won't honor this price? He responded angrily and said why don't you just go down the street to JC Licht if you don't want to buy it here and walked away/
