Wonderful staff with Christian values! This location is a neighborhood local gem! I've met so many…read moreparents and kids that pass through for lessons. The locals are really friendly and sweet. They say great things about Southtown and shared how they have been in this neighborhood for quite some time. Just yesterday I was speaking to a parent and she had been bringing her kids for over 5 years! Kendra is on staff and I believe the manager there. She is very knowledgeable, fun, and accommodating to all the guests that come through. She doesn't shy away from letting you try any instrument in the store. Dean is also on staff and he is very helpful. No, I mean like, very very out of this world helpful! We actually chatted through Thumbtack to get things arrangeds for my daughters piano lessons. I wanted in home, but he was determined to find a teacher that would be the best fit for our schedule and needs. Here's a little secret about Southtown. I had an experience with a guitarist I found through a Groupon deal at Southtown. It discouraged me a little from playing. But Kendra and Dean really redeemed themselves. They don't know this, which is why I can say their service is genuinely from the heart of caring about sharing their passion for music. Thank you Southtown!

Dean not only recommended the right string (costs only $1) but also put it on my guitar free of charge. Such a genuinely sweet guy. He has a free 30 mins session which I think I will try out soon. And the guitar cum music lesson store is so brightly lit and well organized. I wish Dean all the best and recommend this place to everybody.

I came in with my husband who recommended this place to my son who owns many guitars. We actually…read morecame in with the intention of buying him another. He asked the salesman if he could play the guitar that was one if the more expensive guitars. The guy, who by the way looked like he crawled from under a bridge with a heroine needle in his arm asked him if he planned on buying it. My son who immediately decided, oh I'm being judged by my appearance told him not today. He was then told no you cannot play this guitar. So I wondered if any of the older white customers would have asked if they would have been asked the same question. My son went to Sweetwater and was handed with a smile any guitar, at any price that he wanted to play. So how dare the meth head behind the counter look at us and decide we couldn't afford anything in your store. Your small minded staff is a great credit to why you will stay small. I will be to let everyone I know to avoid coming here. I guess if your a person of color there is no way you can afford to buy a guitar in your store.

Aziza is amazing, I have been taking voice lessons off and on with her for years, and this year I…read morehave gotten back into taking voice lessons with her regularly. She is really great at teaching, and helping to break a person out of their comfort zone to achieve their dreams as a singer/musician. Whether your a beginner or advanced singer or somewhere in between, she will work with you where you are at on your journey. She also brings a lot of knowledge, wisdom and years of experience along with a positive attitude to the table. I also hired her along with a piano player named Scott Taylor for my wedding back in October to perform 5 songs, and they both did a phenomenal job at it, we had them play two songs as my Wife and I's first dance, and had her sing The Lord's Prayer during the ceremony, her voice is so beautiful and really did each song justice.
