Both are gifted musicians and talented teachers. Having two locations also makes it convenient for the summer camps that are offered and also if we need to reschedule and get a makeup lesson at the other location. There are also several recitals throughout the year so my son has really learned the performance aspect of being a musician. My son has ADHD and his teachers are able to engage him throughout the lesson. As someone who is experienced in both adolescent development and pedagogy, Orpheus is, in my opinion, the best music school in central Texas.

If you advertise that you work with children as young as 3 then have the experience, knowledge, and self esteem to understand that children learn through play and repetition. Also, since you are being paid for the lesson, allow a child to adjust to the new environment before formulating an opinion. After all, it's not like this is the Juilliard School of Music.

I have had the pleasure of learning piano under Neli and I cannot recommend her highly enough. Her…read moretalent is evident from the very first lesson, with a deep understanding of music and a remarkable ability to convey complex concepts in an accessible way. What truly sets Neli apart, though, is her patience and passion for teaching. She creates a warm, encouraging environment that makes each lesson something to look forward to. Whether you're a beginner or looking to refine your skills, Neli has the expertise and dedication to help you achieve your musical goals. BTW all of my family members have been her student at some point of time. So that speaks volumes about how great she is!

Neli is a truly wonderful teacher that I cannot recommend highly enough! My two kids have taken…read moreyears of classes with her and so have I, starting as a total adult beginner. She is able to adjust her teaching style based on the student's maturity level and interests. Neli is constantly pushing you to improve but in a patient and nurturing way. What impresses me every time is comparing where I start with a piece of music and where I end up. The understanding of the piece, the subtle refinement, and the growth that I experience with every piece of music is truly inspiring. She encourages her students to record themselves playing the same piece at different times to witness that growth, and that is amazing to see. Students can participate in two recitals a year and those recitals are so, so amazing to watch and speak to her talent to develop her students' talents. Many of her students go on to compete at various levels and regularly earn highest awards. Some have even gone to college to major in music because of the love and understanding of music she helped develop. I can't recommend Neli highly enough for young kids, teens and adults!

I have been a customer at the Killeen store for several years…read more I had some repair work done and the guy at the register misspelled my name. I told him that my name is misspelled and I would like it corrected. He not only didn't correct his mistake, he acted like it was no big deal. I went today to pick up my guitar and said the same thing. This other guy wouldn't correct the error either. He said that my account would have to be deleted and that I would have to have a new account. I'm a 100% Disabled Veteran with over 40 years of Federal Service in my middle 60s and I don't understand treating paying customers like this! It's just wron!

Absolutely blown away by the customer service we received at Guitar Center today --specifically…read morethanks to Lane. It's honestly rare these days to come across someone so knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely invested in making sure customers walk away confident and satisfied. Lane went above and beyond to ensure we had all the information we needed to make the right decision, taking the time to explain our options thoroughly without any pressure or rush. We've shopped here before, and without naming names, let's just say the experience hasn't always been this smooth or helpful. Had we encountered Lane the first time around, we would've been spared from making an uninformed decision that ended up costing us in the long run. His professionalism, attention to detail, and clear passion for what he does completely shifted our perception of the store. If every employee brought the same level of care and service that Lane did, we'd never think twice about where to go. Truly a standout experience--thank you, Lane!

DO NOT take your instrument here for setups…read more I visited Musicians Woodshed last week and initially spoke with one of the guitar techs, Jett Boyd, who was polite and professional. We discussed my bass guitar and the possibility that some frets might need adjustment. When I returned the following week after noticing some fret buzz, I spoke with Miles Manglos. I explained that I prefer a very straight neck with low action and that I was not interested in adding more relief to the neck. Because of that, the logical solution would have been to address the fret work. Instead, he suggested doing a setup that would involve adding relief and raising the action--the exact opposite of what I had just explained I wanted. When I asked whether that meant adding neck relief and how that would affect the current setup, he couldn't clearly explain it. I also mentioned that at a different shop in another city, a tech had previously performed a setup even though I specifically asked him not to and only wanted the jack repaired. I brought this up simply to explain why I was trying to be very clear about the work I wanted done. Instead of addressing the issue professionally, Miles abruptly declined to work on the instrument and told me to leave. He was dismissive and repeatedly said he didn't understand what I was saying. A competent guitar tech or luthier should be able to translate what a musician is describing and communicate clearly about the work being recommended. If a shop cannot or does not want to perform a certain service, that's fine--but it should be handled respectfully and professionally. Unfortunately, this interaction came across as pretentious and unhelpful, and it left a very negative impression of the shop.
