They are amazing and make everyone feel welcome! I stop by time to time to browse and purchase items or get service done. I would highly recommend as I was expecting a restring of an acoustic and a small electric guitar repair to take a few weeks but I was in and out in under 30 minutes. 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. Parking is ample and signage is clear!

When I purchased my first brand new clarinet from Foxes, the staff was very accommodating of my…read morequestions and allowed me to look at several different ones ones before I came to a decision, giving me a very reasonable price below MSRP. Later when my clarinet developed cracks while breaking it in they offered to replace it instead of having me wait for them to send it back to the manufacturer for repair. The customer service I received has been excellent and as such they are my first choice for music instrument needs. They also have a large selection of sheet music for various instruments and you can spend a lot of time just browsing their selection. Because of this I absolutely recommend them. On top of the great service and selection they provide, they are a local business that I am proud to support and encourage others to do likewise.

Foxes has everything from beginner instruments to vintage professional instruments. On top of having great inventory of instruments, music and accessories, Foxes Music is very generous with helping out our local schools in need. I highly recommend Foxes Music!

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!!

I'd decided to return to the store solely due to convenience and because I knew what I wanted and could probably choose it without any help, expecting none based on the last visit. Well, I had hardly stepped into the store before an employee named Thaddeus looked up and greeted me enthusiastically, asking immediately if I was looking for anything specific. He then took me over to the right display, pointed out the different options, explained how they worked, shared his own experience with the product, and answered all my questions. All with plenty of positive energy! Not sure I'm a convert, but if I do have to go back and I see Thaddeus there, I know I'll be well taken care of!

Service from Rob was great! They have a good selection of products for both wind and brass…read moreinstruments. 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.

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!)

**Outstanding Customer Service -- Thank You, Melody!**…read more I had an absolutely outstanding experience at the Guitar Center on Arlington Blvd in Falls Church, and the reason was **Melody Diaz**. I came in with a general idea of what I needed, but I wasn't completely sure what would work best to connect my subwoofer with my Fender PA system. Melody was incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and customer-focused. Instead of simply trying to sell me something, she took the time to listen, understand what I was trying to accomplish, and help me figure out what I actually needed. What impressed me even more was that when I mentioned I was considering upgrading my system in the future, Melody walked me through several options and gave me some great recommendations to consider when I'm ready. There was no pressure--just knowledgeable, professional advice focused on what would work best for me. That level of customer service is becoming harder to find, and Melody represents it exceptionally well. **As long as Melody is there, Guitar Center in Falls Church will be my first stop whenever I have an audio equipment question or need.** She turned what could have been a frustrating shopping experience into a truly 5-star experience. Thank you, Melody! Guitar Center is fortunate to have you on their team.

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.
