Poor customer service. I took an instrument to them to be repaired, called them 6 weeks later and…read morethey did not know where my instrument was. Megan said they would call me back. I called them back later that day and the next day, the manager did not bother to get on the phone with me but was relaying messages to Megan on the phone. They assured me they would be calling me back. The next day. I received a text message letting me know it would be six more weeks and the manager would update me. I had yet to talk to a manager or receive an apology. I texted back that it was unacceptable since they already had it 6 weeks and they lost it. They said they would try to get it done as soon as possible. Two weeks later I was informed the manager would be picking up the instrument and would contact me. A week later Gabe contacted me and was very apologetic for the situation. This was the first apology that I had received. Gabe is the reason this review got one star. He went above and beyond to apologize, communicate and called me more than once. I did get the instrument back. However, when I went to go pick it up, Megan acted like she did not want to help me or recognize that I was in the store. I paid over $300 to have the instrument fixed and my daughter informed me not all the pads were replaced. Very disappointed in this music store and the customer service received. I will be using a different music store in the future

From the owner: I truly believe in unique approach to every student in my music studio. Every student is different…read more If we acknowledge those differences, embrace them and help students develop the skills where their best talents are, the job of a piano teacher can be considered well done. Surely, the best way to become a great pianist would be to pay the most attention to piano basics and hardcore techniques, hence playing scales, technical studies, Sonatas, other numerous technical exercises which can open the path to even having a whole career in music. I have a lot of students that put their piano technique at the top of their priority list. Although, there are also those who need something different. One may want to learn how to play by chords, improvise, transcribe music or make piano covers like that YouTuber Rousseau. You never know what talent may be uncovered when the teacher lets a student be oneself, be unique and receive the best information and skills needed for them to strive! I come from Ukraine where I received my formal education and diploma in Piano Performance and Teaching. It's been 11 years since I moved to Sacramento (Antelope, CA) and started teaching full-time. I miss my country a lot, and I also miss the high standards of music education that was established deep in our culture there. There are good piano teachers in Sacramento area as well, but not all of them. I can refer you to those I believe the good ones if you would prefer a different location.

I got my first guitar in July 1960. I've bought and sold 1,000's of guitars., amps, drums,…read morekeyboards, etc... No exaggeration. I owned a 1,500 square foot musical instrument shop from 1998 to 2007. So I know equipment. I've visited Skip's several times over the past few decades. But my last visit was long enough ago that it was at the former Watt Ave location. This new store is visually impressive. Plenty of space which gives the room a majestic feel. It's dramatically lighted. The overhead music system is not obnoxiously loud. It's a fun place to browse. The inventory is all good quality. Every item is a real musical instrument, not a junky toy. No Amazon type crap here. The 5 staff members I interacted with were all friendly and helpful. I stopped in with my family to buy some Xmas gifts for the grandchildren and a few cables for myself. I pre-shopped the items on the Skip's website. The items were in stock. We bought a mini electric guitar for the 6 year old grand niece who actually knows already how to play some basic chords. We also got her a small amplifier, cables, guitar strap... Everything she will need to start her musical journey. Pricing is pretty standard MSRP. I know the price structure at wholesale and retail level and was not going to haggle for a discount out of respect. Profit margin after all the business expenses is meager. There's a high riser stage for in store events & concerts. There's also programs when students perform. Great experience for students to begin public performances (Where, hopefully, they get prepared for paychecks when they graduate to playing at bar gigs, weddings, birthdays and maybe even the big time (if they work really, really hard)). If you or you little virtuoso wants some gear I highly recommend that you shop here rather than at Guitar Center. Shop local, support a family owned business rather than a corporation.

Definitely a perfect gift for babies that will keep them entertained, I want to return to get her more instruments he he! I would highly recommend The Strum Shop that's been in business for 13 years!
