I just bought my first electric guitar in 8 years from here, and the experience was top-tier. I've…read morebeen looking for the right fit for a while, and the team at Nick Rail Music really knows their stuff. They were super knowledgeable and didn't pressure me at all. One of the best parts was that they actually let me try the guitar out in their studio space so I could really hear the tone and get a feel for it before committing. It's rare to find a shop that still offers that kind of hands on, expert service. If you're in the SCV and looking for quality gear and people who actually understand instruments, this is the spot. Super happy with my new setup!

Our daughter started band this year. She was assigned the flute. We contacted Lee about purchasing…read moreor renting one. Lee gave us such an amazing offer on one that was too great to pass up and just buy it. The flute was so beautiful, along with a case. I can not express the amount of thankfulness we are to him. On top of everything, we found out that he offers classes. He is very patient, excited about what he does, and the price of his equipment is amazing. Lee is a great asset to our music community.

This place is a joke! The inventory is abysmal and the owner, Lee, is a transparent, pushy salesman…read morewho reeks of desperation. I came in looking for a guitar on a Saturday which wasn't in stock. After waiting around for him to call his "guy," Lee said he could possibly order it. Cool. He didn't get back to me until Monday afternoon around 4. By then I had already found what I was looking for at another dealer. After I thanked Lee for trying to find what I was looking for, I inquired about getting a guitar repaired at his shop. Instead of hopping on the chance to secure some business for his clearly struggling store, he decided that was the best time to rant about the "hard work he did" to find the guitar and how it was "unfair that I didn't want to buy it from him." (even though no order had been placed on my end) He didn't even give me a quote for repairs, he just whined about losing a sale to a better equipped business. Talk about shooting yourself in the foot. He could have made a quick buck on a few guitar repairs and possibly earned additional business if he didn't feel the need to lecture customers about their purchasing habits. Don't let the absence of a website trick you into believing this place must rely on strong word of mouth to get by. Other than an out of place Ariana Grande drum head, Lowe's Music has nothing worth checking out. It's cramped, unorganized, and is a perfect example of incompetent ownership that is keeping large stores like Guitar Center thriving. While I'm all for supporting local businesses, this is one SVC shop that I wont feel sorry for after the owner runs it into the ground.

We are so grateful to have found The Little School of Music and especially Armando! My 11 year old…read moreson has been taking guitar lessons with Armando for the past 2 years, and he absolutely loves working with him. Armando is a natural teacher and is especially wonderful with kids -- patient, encouraging, and able to make learning both fun and motivating. Over the years, my son has progressed tremendously as a guitarist thanks to Armando's guidance. Recently, LSM gave him the opportunity to play in a rock band with other students and perform at a music festival. He absolutely loved the experience, and it has made him even more excited and committed to practicing and growing as a musician. We are incredibly thankful for the opportunities, support, and community that The Little School of Music has provided. Highly recommend to any family looking for music lessons for their kids!

I went to this music store to inquire about saxophone lessons and rent an instrument for my child…read more They took my information but never called back. After multiple calls from my end, I finally got in touch with the manager, ordered the instrument online, and scheduled the first lesson. The manager promised to call when the instrument arrived, but again, no follow-up. When I called, another associate informed me the instrument was there, but the instructor had pushed the lesson by a week without notifying us. When I arrived to pick up the instrument, the staff seemed completely disinterested. No one provided guidance or assistance beyond just handing it over. Overall, the lack of communication, customer service, and general interest in helping new clients--especially kids excited to learn music--was disappointing. I ended up finding another instructor elsewhere. This place clearly does not value its customers or take pride in bringing up the next generation of musicians. Would not recommend.

She is a a member of the Music Teachers' Association of California, and if desired, she trains her students for MTAC's Certificate of Merit examinations. Her teaching style consists of a diversified curriculum. In addition to the usual learning of piano pieces, there is a healthy regimen of technique exercises, theory, composition, sight reading, ear training, piano duets and other instrumental accompaniment. In general, it is a more robust learning program in my opinion and her piece selection is purposefully broad from the Russian masters to pop music. My son likes the breadth and now has a deeper understanding for different musical styles. He appreciates that there is no singular "right" style and that the arts are very personal to the composer, the artist and the audience member. It has helped inspire him to write his own compositions, which I feel is an exceptional thing. It has also motivated him to play duets with other instrumentalists and take a more active interest in performing in his school shows, etc. Finally, Olga has encouraged my son to be disciplined and organized with his weekly music theory homework - something not all piano teachers do. Olga is an exceptional teacher and we feel fortunate to have found her.

We are so grateful for having found Susan. She not only is an extremely talented musician, but as a teacher, she has such a special way with her students - she is patient but firm and has a way of encouraging and inspiring her students to do their best. My son thrived under Susan's care. And the most amazing thing about Susan is how she raised 4 daughters who are also very accomplished and beautiful inside and out! Raising 4 kids successfully, above all, is a testament to Susan's commitment and character. I highly recommend Susan as a piano teacher. She's one of the kind. My whole family will definitely miss working with her when my son goes to college next year.
