I really have to thank Mr. Matt and the rest of the incredible staff. It makes me want to continue my music journey and come back very often. A big plus is their location now.

I took guitar lessons for several months with Tedd and I had an exceptional experience each week. Tedd was structured, very observant of my personal aspirations, and molded each lesson to suit my strengths and areas of improvement. He introduced me to so many different techniques and styles; it goes without saying that I learned a LOT. Above all, Tedd's enthusiasm for guitar playing was highly contagious and encouraging! All of the instructors at LPM are extremely hospitable and I always looked forward to my many laughs with Tedd, Jamaal, and Anne! Had I not moved I would have certainly continued my lessons with Tedd at LPM. Thank you all!!

After putting my saxophone down for 36 years (yeah that's right), I've regained interest in playing it again. Yup, still the exact saxophone I played back in 1990. It was already considered vintage back then, but a good instrument, like one's body and mind, maintained and repaired, will last a very long time. Dropped off my sax for a tuneup and pad replacement where needed today, and their turn-around time is 14-days. You can pre-authorize a charge limit, and if any repairs will exceed that amount they will call you to discuss. What's also good, is that they'll inspect it first before performing any work and let you know if the instrument is worth the cost of repairs or not. Rob said they'll provide you an evaluation, as well. When my sax is ready to pickup, I'll follow up and update this review.

Predatory Scam - Stay Away!…read more Signed up for lessons, got billed for services I never received. No lessons, no communication, just automatic charges to my card. Tried to cancel-- they ignored it and kept billing, then tried doubling the amount after cancellation. And this was four months ago... This is straight-up fraudulent and predatory. Do NOT come here and do not give them your credit card info or sign any contract. I've filed complaints with the FTC and CFPB.

FINALLY started taking lessons a few months ago with John, and I'm loving it! It's so much fun, and John is an excellent teacher. He teaches to my learning style, he's patient and thorough, and consistent with his reminders of how I should be playing (finger placement, posture, and all). Though his style may seem scattered at first, he really does a great job of building off of what we learned from the previous week while keeping it interesting. If you're like me and thinking that you'll eventually get around to taking lessons, DO IT NOW! (Before they realize that they're not charging enough!)

We also really appreciate the performance opportunities they offer, from the annual recital to unique experiences like performing with a live band--such a fun and motivating way for kids to build confidence.

This place is huge. Pictures don't do it justice. There is a large open "main" area devoted…read moreprimarily to guitars and accessories and sound systems and sheet music and whatnot. Off this main area there are many additional spaces with all sorts of cool stuff in various adjoining rooms, halls, alcoves, and other curious display areas of varying size and shape. Acoustic gets its own special room with a door and everything that you can access at the back of the main area--I didn't go inside because it looked a bit too exclusive for me and too dangerous for my little kids to go near of course, but if you're looking for acoustic stuff you'll probably love it. You'll also look really cool going inside. Other areas and offerings: a huge drum section filled with drums and drum stuff and related accessories and all sorts of things that I have never even seen or heard of because I do not play drums, all located in a large room/additional area just to the right of the entrance as you walk in the store from the parking lot (with potentially more spaces located off of that first "drum area,"--I didn't venture that far in). Another several adjoining areas off the main space are similarly dedicated to pianos, keyboards, and synthesizer type stuff. Further back into the distant corners adjoining piano land, you'll find another room or two full of speakers, amps, and all sorts of sound systems and devices for DJs and sound engineers and audiophiles of any sort. I wouldn't be surprised if there was a secret entrance to another realm entirely back there, with dancing elves playing trumpets and harps and accordions and other strange creatures of that sort, given how many corners and alcoves and sections they had there already, and the relatively short time I had to view the space on that particular occasion. I think I saw everything over there but it's a cool tricky place so who knows... On the other side of the store, I saw--but did not enter as the store was closing at that point--additional rooms and areas for music lessons and rentals and a few other doors to miscellaneous realms of musical store excitement. I'll have to check that side out next time. But you get the idea. This place is BIG. In fact, the "main" area alone is as large or larger than the entire square footage of the few other guitar center locations I've seen before (and mammoth in comparison to the other independent music stores I've been to, though the latter are actually better small IMHO...but that's a whole other issue to address in their reviews or at least not right here since I've gone on about space here long enough). This Guitar Center is great for what is. It's pretty darn cool and makes me want to learn more about everything there and maybe learn to play a few more instruments in the future. I've only been once so far, and I don't have enough music store experience to comment extensively on the quality of their actual stock or their prices in comparison to other stores. But they have a TON of stuff there for musicians and DJs and sound engineers and audiophiles and anyone else seeking musical instruments and music related goods. And they do price match other stores, so if you find something cheaper at another store they'll give you that price (up to 45 days after purchase, with some exceptions of course). I have not tried the latter, but I have purchased something fairly expensive (for me anyway) and the process was smooth and nicely handled. Customer service guys were nice but unobtrusive overall--they're not necessarily going to greet you enthusiastically when you walk in, and almost certainly not going to follow you around the store to see if you need help. If you want all that, this might be a problem. But it's more like Home Depot or target or a grocery store or basically any larger store really. I much prefer this approach. They're there and quite helpful if you need them, but otherwise they'll let you explore and do your thing. If/when you do need them, they are there and happy to help. Just ask the one closest to you or go up to the front desk and toss your question out to them--there should be several associates up there who will be willing and able and even happy to help you. Even if you're a distracted weary looking mom with three very little, very rambunctious kids with you, and you seem highly unlikely to have any intention of purchasing a crazy expensive guitar and/or fancy sound stage gear or concert level musical equipment or anything exciting like that. They're still nice and very helpful and patient. Which is cool. I'm a fan.

When I walked in with 2 big boxes, everyone in the store just kinda stared at me. Not welcoming at all.

I won't go into the details, but definitely not the same energy I received from the Alexandria location.
