Liz is patient, encouraging, and keeps my daughter motivated and on track with her progress.

We're very grateful for Teacher Liz and the positive learning environment she creates. Highly recommend her for anyone looking for a supportive and skilled piano teacher!

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

We have rated The Piano Store previously, but wanted to send another shout out for Ben (The Owner)…read more If I could give this store 20 stars, it would fall short. Ben and his store has to be the best in the whole region. His customer service is beyond any. He has more knowledge than many and you can absolutely feel the passion he has for his business and the customers that visit him! In addition, the selection of pianos available to view at the store far surpasses any around Sac. If you are in the business to buy a piano, it is well worth your time to visit Ben and The Piano Store. If you had to drive 150-200 miles, you will find that it is well worth your time.

However, I…read morecan't allow a School or Program to hurt our family like it has while leaving them to keep a perfect rating. I don't know how to share our current story in a short way that anyone would bother to read. So I'll say a few quick bullet points. Current instructors - Ray and Julia I give 5 Stars. Matt as well. Ray in particular has really gone out of his way to do anything he can from a teaching perspective. I'm at a loss for why his profile is not included on the website but if you want the best guitar instructor... he's your guy. They need to fix the culture of how students treat each-other and other SoR students from other locations. This used to be one of the most attractive points of the school. Not anymore. School of Rock having Houseband students re-audition every year should stop in my opinion. If a kid is not pulling their weight or meeting expectations then they should be worked with to try and fix it. If they can't, they get pulled from the band. This is not just in regards to instrument talent but every aspect of what being a Houseband member is. Otherwise those positions and aging out positions should be the ones being auditioned for by fresh students. For most families, becoming a Houseband member is the end goal. This is where their dedication towards the School and experience recognizes them as leaders of the school and examples for others. They truly represent that location and are a MAJOR draw to getting signups. This is where they are rewarded by additional training of live gigs around town, bigger audiences, and gain gigging experience to begin their professional journey. Sending them backwards after multiple years of Houseband on their final year at the school, after years of dedication simply due to a score card in a 10 minute audition, is not benefiting anyone. You can't simply "disregard" the history of a student at audition. Their history matters. Lastly, this locations most attractive point to many families was Hazmat the locations houseband. This band just came off playing the Van's Warped Tour last year. Many families like ours have invested so much into the School for that band. Suddenly this summer, they cancelled it against all HB parent feedback. Against what all the HB members wanted. The owners or gm's... someone just wasn't concerned about parent feedback. The SoR website definition for a houseband is being comprised of fellow students from "their school". Now the Roseville students have to audition for Folsom's houseband and practice at that location. That is not representative of what the website says. It was not just unfair to the Roseville Houseband but unfair to the Folsom Houseband as well. We used to feel so incredibly valued. We have put so much of the last 4 years of our lives into this school. We believed in Nay the GM and Cecilia and Jason the owners so much! As fast as they gave us everything for our family, they took it away. They don't realize it's almost equivalent of losing your job. HB families dedicate large portions of their lives to this. Removing a student should not be viewed so lightly followed by "business as usual" lip service. So this is my rating for now. We'll see if the future goes for better or for worse and will update the rating accordingly.

I moved in February 1st, excited to start my journey back to music…read more I knew I was going to miss a couple weeks, and ended up moving in late on February. The first night, I already could tell this was a waste of money. I was sandwiched between two loud producers, one of which a non-black rapper constantly saying the n word in his music. He also said it outside in the hall. (A white man) I am a lifelong musician, loud rehearsal neighbors aren't new to me- but what bothers me is that this studio is not actually a studio. They are office buildings. There is absolutely NO noise isolation and to top that off, the door I had was broken. After 5 min of my walls rumbling from both sides with absolutely no insulation to soften the blow, so loud my head was throbbing - I realized the lockout owners were likely cash grabbers with no passion for sound. Very different from Sac Rehearsal and the other one off El Camino where you at least get SOME LEVEL of isolation and professional attempts at noise reduction. On top of that- I was offered a tour with a measly $100 off my next room selection. When I attempted to reschedule the tour, their only available hours to do so were 10A-2:45P, Mon-Fri, which as you might expect - will not work for 90% of people who can afford rehearsal studios. When I finally was able to schedule a time, they canceled for a family emergency and rebooked for Monday the 24th, leaving me a measly 7 days of a potential rehearsal experience. When I brought this to their attention, they nastily retorted, "well you've had access to the space the whole time!" A space with no noise isolation that is entirely impossible to think in, let alone rehearse in. Save your money- even if you're a mile away like I am, it's better to go to House of Hits. Even Sac Rehearsal. The only benefit of this place is the "safe" location- but it's really built with no regards to musicians and the customer service is built equally as shitty.

Poor communication with mediocre facilities. Unfortunate, since there is definitely a lack of…read moresupply in the area of rehearsal or art studios. Prices are much higher than the competition for smaller spaces. I tried to rent a room for band rehearsal. Toured the place, told them I intended to rent from them. The communication is very disjointed. They only want to communicate via text, but it's not with a single person. I had literally 4 different people writing to me in the same thread. They sent me the contract but seemed unclear on which unit I wanted even with me sending them a video that I took during the tour. The contract stipulates that you're supposed to do a walkthrough so I had to go back to do that before signing (which I assume is to look for damage since you have to pay a security deposit but I also wanted to make sure they were trying to rent me the right room since there was confusion about that in my texts with them) . I told them I wanted the unit but they won't let me give them a deposit until the contract is signed. Since they only let you schedule tours for about 4 hours through the middle of the work day, I had to take time from work to go back again as soon as I was able to find an available tour time. They texted me in the morning telling me to let them know when the tour is done so that we can move forward. I went and did the tour and took photos, texted them 6 minutes later telling them it's finished and that I'd send the contract as soon as I got home. 45 minutes later I sent the contract, assuming everything is set and waited to find out how to pay them, and it's radio silence from all of them on the text thread all of a sudden. Then 4 hours later they tell me they've rented the space to somebody else. So in the end I wasted my time doing multiple tours in the middle of the day and then got screwed out of the space while none of the 4 people I'd been in contact with had the common courtesy to let me know that somebody else also had a contract in hand for the same room and that I might be wasting my time. The only other space of comparable size they had available is a ridiculously laid out triangle shaped room that smells like urine. So that's definitely out. Very poor communication and ultimately a big waste of my time. Also, none of the rooms I saw looked anything like the photos they uploaded here. I saw stained floors, cracked drop ceilings, poorly painted walls, and some not great smells.
