Rochester Pro Music is your typical local music store…read more They have a good number of electric, acoustic and bass guitars from common brands like Fender, Ibanez, Les Paul, etc... As well as a good selection of pedals and amps. As would be expected, they also sell PA equipment, drums and mixers, as well as a pretty hefty selection of used gear. The store also has six (I believe) teaching rooms, and a number of guitar and bass teachers. My former guitar teacher is now working there. As expected, they do repairs on musical equipment. There are a couple of reasons I am giving them four stars instead of five: 1)Their pricing isn't too competitive. 2)The owner does not like "random jamming" on the guitars, because they wear on them a bit. While this is a perfectly valid point, every other music shop I've been to will let anybody borrow a cable and pick and play with their guitars whenever they want. Why? Because they'll buy sooner or later. 3)The brother of one of my neighbors bought a Les Paul guitar there, and brought it in for service on something that was under warranty, and they would not honor the warranty. While I certainly don't know the whole situation, it's still something to consider.

I've purchased a few bass guitars from Brickhouse with my most recent being an Order-Option G&L. Tom was insanely helpful through the process. The other cool part is that they have a far better assortment of guitars, basses, and amps than the big box stores. But local and support the small business instead! I seriously can't recommend this place enough!

My son signed up for lessons, he has been playing for 2 years already- so not totally new to music…read more But looking for something to keep him busy over the summer. We wanted a teacher who was a good fit, so asked about trial. It's a PAID trial, but in my opinion very worth while to make sure it's a fit for both instructor and student. My son liked the instructor very much. When I called to enroll, I was told we had to pay an "enrollment fee". However, the offer online was NO enrollment fee and FREE book for summer classes. The owner told me it ONLY applies to families that don't do a trial lesson. Because I had a complimentary trial, I DO have to pay enrollment fee and buy all books. I'm not a fan of bate and switch. I looked back at the offer and it didn't say anything about paid trials disqualifying the offer. How is the trial complementary if we paid full price for it...... Needless to say, we went just down the street for a true free trial and are making pure rock music with a much better music school that has many more instructors, more economical rates and are honest!! I can't in good faith recommend this music school.

Such a great place for music lessons! We are having so much fun learning the guitar. Thank you!read more

Not only did they do an amazing and fast job on removing the buzz on the fretboard on my new bass but it was more than a fair price for the job.

To me the best part about the place is you get big city value services and products without having to go into Minneapolis and dealing with all that insanity.
