I have taken a series of lessons from Scott over two different periods. Through both sets of…read morelessons I came away with a broader understanding of how music works, and my playing was opened up and expanded as a result. If you are not familiar with Scott as a performer, a quick web search will reveal his credentials. He's been teaching for nearly 40 years, and is an active performer playing jazz, classical, and fusion. He is an expert player in a number of different styles, and counts a number of famous musicians as his students. I told Scott what I was interested in learning, and he tailored lessons to my desires. He has a tremendous accumulation of supporting materials - lead sheets for jazz standards, decompositions of rock solos, pages of scales and licks, and the list goes on. It seemed that after every lesson there would be some well-prepared supporting information that I could take home to further my practice and advancement. Scott is also very friendly and patient. His love of playing is infectious. Highly recommended!

His performance inspired me to get serious with my playing, but I didn't find the right instructor until last year, when I found out that Quinn gave lessons! I've been working with him regularly for 12 months via video (Zoom) and couldn't be happier with my progress. Quinn is extremely knowledgeable and patient and has been tremendously helpful in enabling me to learn all of the songs I've always wanted to play. Do not hesitate to up your game by taking lessons from him.

We really appreciated how he learned several special songs that weren't even on his list for our ceremony. He was very patient and understanding as we developed what we wanted and we loved how he even sent us recordings before hand to make sure it was going to be what we wanted. Working with Quinn was very easy and we got exactly what we wanted. I cannot recommend Quinn strongly enough for any of your musical needs!

We hired Puget Sound Strings to play a private event in our backyard for 30 friends this summer…read more Despite horrible traffic that day, the musicians arrived promptly and in great spirits. However, as most of our friends were delayed, the quartet was very flexible and gave us extra time to accommodate them. We designed a more interactive experience for our friends, and the musicians were delightful, entertaining, and "read the room" very well in regards to the music selection. Their musicality and showmanship were outstanding. We look forward to continuing the tradition next year!

The string trio was simply, AMAZING. They truly made our wedding ceremony unique and helped bring our vision into reality. My guests were raving about that portion of our ceremony and cocktail hour - they were so impressed and enjoyed the music! It was Rebecca who we communicated mostly with through email prior to the wedding day. Let me just say, she made the communication and booking process so easy. Their repertoire was definitely impressive and we had a lot to chose of pieces to from. There were 3 specific songs we wanted for our ceremony (Bittersweet Symphony, Here Comes the Sun, & Stand by Me) and I was thrilled to find out they were able to play for us! I also want to thank Rebecca for helping us decide on a song for our bridal party to walk out to after the ceremony. We wanted something a little more upbeat, but still elegant at the same time. She helped us decide on Viva La Vida - the PERFECT ending! Overall, we were so happy with our decision to have Puget Sound Strings play at our wedding. The booking process was so easy, the string trio came and did an amazing job and everything was just executed so professionally! It truly made our wedding extra special - I had no idea how magical the write music would make the most important part of our day. If you're thinking of booking PSS for your big day or event, DO IT! I assure you, you will not regret it! :)

The Kennelly Keys Music on 196th Street Southwest in Lynnwood was our second go-to Kennelly Keys…read morewhen I was growing up. We were required in elementary school to take part in the school band or orchestra for 5th grade with 6th grade optional (I took part both full academic years: 2002 to 2004), so with an older sibling and me, my parents were looking for reliable music stores. There was a Kennelly Keys close to the house, as well as this Kennelly Keys, that we habitually frequented. This was our destination for questions needing further answering and products not available closer to the house. Workers were friendly and the store well organized. When choosing my musical instrument for band, I decided I wanted to play the alto saxophone. My parents were okay with my choice so long as it was not as pricey as my sister's cello. On one of our visits to this location, the store was having a big sale on used instruments and they had a working alto saxophone available for a good deal. So, I got my first alto saxophone that day. I used it for both years and held on to it for a while before eventually parting with it. It worked well and served its purpose reliably.

I would definitely hire him again for an event, personal or business, and recommend him to anyone. We met with Adrian initially at his home after scouring various DJ's in the Seattle area. He immediately put us at ease. He had all the right questions from being a DJ for many years at clubs and through his business. He gave us a worksheet to let him know exactly what songs we did and didn't want and the order of the ceremony and reception. A $200 deposit held the date. Adrian confirmed with the venue the details for his set-up and electrical needs and was already familiar with it having worked another wedding there previously. He arrived on time and was professional from start to finish. Adrian kept everything running on time and smoothly and there were absolutely no problems, not even little ones, throughout the entire day with him. He checked in with my husband and myself to see how things were going and if we wanted anything changed. I performed at our reception, and Adrian had the mic ready to go and was right on cue with our original music. I did a survey with our family and guests for any comments on Adrian. Everyone said he did an amazing job, was friendly, polite and knew what he was doing. Also, Adrian's pricing is very reasonable! He also has photo booth rentals available.

Not only had he worked at our venue before, but our coordinator was also singing his praises and rightfully so. I had a fear going into it that the dance floor would be depressingly empty (we come from a more sedentary group of friends and family) but Skip did the impossible and we had a good group of dancers on the floor the entire night. Our wedding was on Halloween night and he did the perfect job blending in great dance music with thematically spooky songs as well. He took silly requests from our friends and was even able to procure an obscure song for the mother-son dance. He ensured the day had a healthy flow and I would recommend him to anyone looking for a DJ who has mastered the art.
