Amazing!!! This was our first time here but it was the best indoor play place (not counting…read moremuseums) that I've been to in NC! I've definitely been to a few that I thought were overpriced for what you get. I highly recommend this place. It's super affordable ($10 per child to start and cheaper when you are paying for more than one kid, better value overall to get a monthly membership which I believe starts at $34 a month). It pays for itself if you just come here 3x a month or more. They've also got little snacks for sale up at the front desk and you can purchase socks for $1 (they've got music notes on them haha). We arrived early around 9:20am when the inflatable bounce houses were still getting filled but the doors were open and the person at the front desk said it was unexpectedly busy this morning! The place gets pretty busy but emptied out around 11:30 when I assume most people left to go get lunch/put kids down for nap time. Tons of cute little snack tables and chairs for the smaller kiddos and bigger ones for waiting parents/grandparents/caretakers etc. Lots of sanitizer on every counter. They also had Kleenex boxes out (they know their audience) and Clorox wipes at the front desk. There's 2 big bounce houses (a blue one and a red one). The red one is more for jumping and running around in circles and the blue one has a rainbow "floor" interior that is super fun to run across. There are also 2 karaoke rooms with an expansive music selection, colorful overhead lights, and microphones which you ask for from the front desk. They've got the giant piano on the floor like the one from the movie 'Big'. They've got music classes which I believe take place in the back near the restrooms. Love the giant guitar slide and it makes guitar sounds when you slide down. I went down the slide as well and it goes super quick!! I was definitely more scared going down than climbing up haha. Oh and they provide a shelf of croc sandals to wear if you need to rescue your frightened child (I made use of them). I could really go on forever about how amazing this place is. Absolutely exceeded expectations. Incredible experience and place and definitely will be returning!!

I took my almost two year old here, with my younger babe in tow, for the first time today and they…read moreabsolutely loved it. The play area is open and spaced out with a nice variety of musical things to play with. Before coming, I really was curious if there'd be enough to keep the little one interested. Big or little, the kids will be interested! By musical things, think less handheld instruments and more installments for lack of a better word, such as the interactive world map where touching the musical note plays music of that geographic location. The percussion pots and pans and bells room was a big hit. My toddler wasn't ready for the big guitar slide, with climbing handholds and bars, but was able to enjoy everything else, including the small slide. I found it easy to carry my infant around and plop him on the floor from time to time with little worry. Some bigger kids run around but there are many side areas that are safer for the wee babes. There's music playing in the background and of course sounds coming from the many installments, and children shrieking. But overall, I didn't find the sound to be too loud or nauseating like it can be in some restaurants and such. There's plenty of space to enjoy snacks outside of the play area and clean bathrooms. The staff I checked in with were quite friendly. Oh and I really thought the price per child to be reasonable compared to most other indoor museums and play places. We will definitely be back!

You know that feeling when store employees act nice, but it seems like a façade? That's the vibe I…read moregot from here. After seeing an online promotion for a "free" guitar if I paid for lessons, I signed up. After taking the initial trial lesson, I asked to see the guitar because I was ready to pay for the lesson package but I was told to come back the following week to actually pay and receive the guitar. Apparently, the promotion wasn't available yet. I wish they had told me this over the phone when scheduling the initial lesson, but whatever. They were kind enough to put my name on the guitar to hold it, and I came back the next week and paid, as I was asked to do. At the following lesson I arrived early and was waiting for the instructor to arrive. While waiting, I heard an employee complaining to another person about the guitar promotion. He wasn't keeping his voice down, which made it seem as if his conversation was intentionalIy loud enough for customers to hear. My instructor was polite and professional, but his teaching style was not a good fit for me. It happens, but I was disappointed. I'm a musician that has had lessons on a variety of instruments, plus I teach my own instrument, so I'm not new to music instruction, especially as an adult. It just took me a while to warm up, I guess. Maybe I'm not in the typical demographic for who takes lessons at this store, I don't know. I decided not to continue with lessons, and I probably won't come back to this store to buy any music or accessories in the future.

There used to be four great music stores here and now we are down to one, and luckily, they are hanging in there. Harry has actually retired but the employees are still there. I always steer my students there since you can get a decent uke for just over $100. Then you can take your time to get a better uke once you are sure you want to get better. If you don't get their complete attention, it usually means they are dealing with a difficult customer, but they will get to you.

I haven't been in every "guitar shop" in Raleigh. I would…read morevisit other shops but I don't have a reason for it. I met Harry Tueting the year he opened Harry's Guitars on Glenwood Avenue near downtown Raleigh. I bought strings and played new guitars I could not buy- no steady job. Still I had a clunker to bang on. I took lessons from Steve Howell in the early years. I met Terry Dineen when he began some years later. He was just a kid but he knew a lot more about guitars than I did. I'd played since I was 12, on cheap guitars, but I played. Thanks to the things I learned through visiting this business, I've developed into a modestly decent player. I've met musicians of every skill level in a place where I feel welcome. I've listened to people crank the amps and play for HOURS. No one ever objected. I know and understand the value of a good guitar. I've bought -and returned- guitars from Harry's. Nobody complained. I read the bad reviews given herein and I am STUNNED. Perhaps the reviewers are (1) upset because they did something out of ignorance and can't get over it or (2) have an ax to grind because they weren't regarded as royalty or (3) are simply mean spirited. I cannot in any way associate anyone I know, or have known, at Harry's Guitars with the ugliness I read in those "reviews". Not under Harry's watch. Not under Scott and Mike's watch. Not in the real world.

I have been working with Dr. Steve Fiess of High Range Piano for the last 10 months as an adult…read morepiano student, and I have been extremely satisfied with his instruction. I have been making great progress, and I've been improving faster than I have in the past with other teachers. Overall, Steve is a quiet, calm, all-around kind person. He is always encouraging, even when offering constructive criticism of my playing. I always look forward to my next lesson. After each lesson, I leave feeling good about my playing, and also like I received good feedback, so I know where I need to improve. Steve has been great at helping me select songs to play. As we move on to new pieces, the next one is always just the right difficulty--challenging enough to help me progress but always within reach with a little bit of work. He's also always open to me bringing in pieces that I want to work on. I usually bring a few in, and he helps me decide which piece will be the best fit for my current skills. Steve's depth and breadth of piano knowledge is also impressive. I often ask him questions about why a particular piece is written a particular way or some other detail about a piece. He always has a thorough answer that covers the relevant areas of music history, theory, and practice. I've never met another piano teacher who is so knowledgeable about the piano and piano music. It really helps to give some context to the music I'm playing and helps me understand it better. Overall, I've been very pleased, and I would not hesitate to recommend High Range Piano to anyone looking for a piano teacher.

My husband and I have been in the adult group for many years (7 for me and 10 for my husband)…read more Steve and Neal are extremely gifted musicians and as teachers they are patient and kind. They instill in all of their students a love for music. If there is a piece I want to play because it speaks to my heart, they will find the music and help me learn it. When my left hand was injured and unable to play for over a year, Neal played the left hand of my pieces and later when I had the use of that hand back, we continued to incorporate duets and a trio (with my sister on the violin) into our music lessons. They knit all of the adult students together in adult studio class, an informal pot luck at which we played for each other. It has been wonderful. We are continuing with on line lessons and adult studio class by Skype.
