Wonderful to reconnect with the owner, Jeanne Carere. I was trying to give flute lessons to my…read moresister as a birthday gift. Reconnecting with Jeanne Carere was perfect as she is one of the best flute teachers and performers in Atlanta. She and her staff provided great advice on choosing an instrument and setting up the lessons and buying a book for beginners. Her location is perfect for easy access to taking the lessons. I left very happy that this will be a nice gift for my sister. I plan to return soon to buy some other music and supplies that I need for my instrument.

Carere Music has a very comfortable, welcoming vibe! I could tell right away that these people are…read moregenuine and honest. Jeanne, the owner, is extremely knowledgeable, obviously loves what she is doing, and is continuing the tradition of excellent service started by her family decades ago. As a second generation music store owner myself, one of the things I like to do when I'm traveling is look up small, local music stores and pay them a visit so I can see how they operate. In my short time hanging out at Carere Music, I witnessed Jeanne demonstrate her great knowledge of the music business and deal with all sorts of situations with the utmost professionalism: selling and renting good quality musical instruments to eager students, young and old; taking in musical instruments for repairs; helping people find new owners for their musical instruments by selling them on consignment; teaching flute students of all ages, improving their playing on a daily basis. Jeanne obviously has a passion for teaching! After hearing Jeanne's incredible flute sound and impeccable sense of pitch on the piccolo it's no wonder she's first call for all sorts of high level concerts all over the Southeast. My mother played the flute/piccolo chair in the North Carolina Symphony, so I know a world class player when I hear one. Every flute and piccolo player in the Atlanta area should be taking lessons with Jeanne! Jeanne, her staff, teachers, and repair people are all professional musicians with a great love for music and are deeply engrossed in the local music scene. The repairman really knows his stuff and works so efficiently he has the fastest turnaround time in the area! Everyone was super friendly and giving of their time. One if the sax teachers took his horn out and played a few tunes with me. He was able to tell me where all the jazz jam sessions take place and give insights on what goes on at each one. I will definitely be back to Carere Music any time I'm visiting or traveling through the Atlanta area!

Very, very bad disappointing experience!! I was so excited to hire this Mariachi Band, I spoke to…read moreMagy and she was so pleasant. For a week she allowed me to communicate with her and ask questions. It turns out the whole time she incorrectly advised the date i was looking for was available when it wasn't. She confused me with other clients, even mistakingly zelled me $400. It was then at the cost of her errors, she showed her true colors. She accused me of stealing, harassed me, calling/texting so many times WITHIN 5 MINS even THREATENED ME AND MY FAMILY!!! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND YOU THINK BEFORE DOING ANY BUSINESS WITH HER OR HER MARIACHI.

I highly recommend Tritone. My daughter has been learning piano with Ms. Sarah for almost a year…read more We are having a great time and I believe we will continue this happiness in our future learning. Here is a few background I want to share here: My daughter started her piano since she was 5 but stopped for a while when she was 7. The reason that we stopped are: 1) part of my reason (interfere a lot with her practice) and 2) her previous teacher's style didn't fit her. We are so thankful that we found Ms. Sarah from a friend of mine. Now my daughter finds her love to piano and music again. She even would love to challenge herself on her practices. We don't have to have our fights on when and how to practice piano everyday because Ms. Sarah will show my daughter how to practice and to deal with her feelings. She makes sure everybody is in her comfort zone and willing to try new stuff at the same time. I think another best thing about Ms. Sarah is her passion. You will be sure that she loves teaching piano. She cares about her students and their parents too. We keep very good communication with each other since the first day we met each other. So as we work together, the kid is getting happier and more confident. So do I. Oh, it seems I cannot stop myself. She's the best teacher for us. Give them a call and start your lesson. You won't be disappointed.
