School of Rock Rockwall I never thought I would be writing…read morea negative review for SOR Rockwall but I feel my granddaughter needs to be heard. She cherished the past 61/2 years with SOR Rockwall. However, she has been in the program for the past 7 years. When a senior leaves the program there are 2 major events that occur. One is the student will receive a plaque depicting their time there. She received the plaque with the wrong last name and she said, "it's okay they are really busy with the new studio". In all fairness one of the owners had a medical emergency and we totally understand. She was given a corrected photo and told she could replace it. Second, is the senior gets to choose a senior song where they are showcased during the concert. She never even got to tell them her song choice. Again a lot of changes so we were disappointed but okay. Her final concert was July 27, and as we walked out, no one from the SOR said anything to her. She was on social media and another senior from the same SOR had their plaque correct and a senior song. There was postings of the SOR staff celebrating the other students at the same venue we were at. The last 6 months are her final moments at SOR, and her memories at this time are true devastation.

When I got it back, the intonation was still off and I'm not sure they really did anything. They also told me it would be available on Tuesday but they never called. When I called they were closed. I guess they closed early for the holidays. I left a voicemail and never got a call back. I ended up having to call them a few days later and was told it was ready. It would have been nice to get a call telling me what was done and when it was ready. TLDR: Might be a good shop but poor communication means I'll go elsewhere.

Coming in from Florence to visit my in-laws who live just down the road from this shop, I had to…read moreswing by and check them out on this trip as I have been meaning to for the last five years. Brett Morrison greeted me upon entering and gave me the tour of his cute little boutique guitar shop. I call it boutique because they have their own line of guitars and are so far removed from the heartless Guitar Center experience. They are a huge breath of fresh air in a soulless world of shopping mass produced guitars that are average at best. Their guitars are not for beginners looking for cheap $150 starter guitar kits. But if you have been playing for a few years and like me know that it's more than just a passing interest, they have some wonderful instruments. They have their own guitar line designed to their specs and after handling them I can tell you that the construction and finish on them are excellent! I found a few that really peaked my interest, and Brent spent a lot of time with me showing me different guitars and just shooting the breeze with me, without the hard sell which was much appreciated. Check this place out if you're n the neighborhood, you won't be disappointed.

I stepped in to Norris Family Music one day with my dad. I had brought my violin along - I had…read morejust bought it, and had absolutely no idea how to set it up or, you know, get sound out of it (which is usually something you want out of a musical instrument). There was a 20-something guy working behind the counter. He informed us that his uncle would fix my violin, but he was out to lunch. Apologizing profusely, he recommended we come back in an hour or so. No big deal! My dad and I headed out to lunch ourselves and came back. Uncle Man wasn't back yet, so we browsed the store. There's not a huge selection of musical instruments, but the guy and an older woman both made friendly conversation with us, talking about music and a bunch of other things. When the man (I'm assuming he's the musical whiz) returned, he apologized for taking so long and asked me what the problem was. I told him, "I have no idea what to do with this thing." He smiled, laughed, and set to work on it, replacing the strings (I had broken one of them when trying to tune it the day before), all the while humming to himself. When he finished, he showed me a few things on it, some basics on how to get sound out of it (yes, I bought a violin with no prior knowledge of the instrument - I'm an impulse shopper). He tuned it, but my dad and I theorize that he didn't need the electric tuner to do it, that he had perfect pitch and only used the tuner to reassure us. All in all, I absolutely adore this little family-run place, and it's now where I go to do all of my musical shopping!

Got a call in the middle of the week and said instructor was all booked up and was suggested to book with another instructor there at the school. so I scheduled with another instructor on Saturday 12 noon. Call ahead to make sure everything was scheduled correctly on Saturday morning and they told me they did not have her scheduled. The school did not try to reschedule and basically said they don't have any records of anybody calling me. I was just told I will get a call on Monday to discuss situation no call on Monday so beware they do not follow through on what they say nor try to make it right. with a lot of violin teachers out there you can find one who will operate with integrity.
