Larry S.

well after looking all over town for a saxophone for my son, we stumbled onto lee's sax worx on taravel street. the place is wonderful. lee is a very knowledgeable, friendly & was willing to take the time to understand what i was shopping for. he even asked me to bring my son in to try out the saxophone before we purchased it as it was a sizable purchase. well having done my homework before hand & scouring the city looking for certain types of saxophones, i settled on an american made saxophone by selmer for my son which he had in stock. lee check over this saxophone to make sure it was in good order, he included a case, neck strap, mouth piece, reeds & all the necessary things my son needed to get started at no extra cost. well after playing the saxophone for awhile my son needed a new mouth piece & new reeds per his music instructor, well i took him to lee again & lee helped him out. he let him try several different mouth pieces to see what he liked within the parameters of the music teacher. he does carry the vandoren java reeds, most music shops do not carry these or they offer these only as a special order as they are quite expensive but they were not too expensive here. well soon after a year of playing the saxophone it needed to be re corked, so i took it back to lee. well lee re corked it for me for 25.00 & he serviced the entire saxophone at no extra cost. i have always supported my local businesses as much as i could. lee's is a prime example of how a local business will step up & provide you excellent customer service beyond your local chain & larger independent music store. the service is always friendly & knowledgeable. repair service time is quick & he stands by all his work. lee's sax worx is my only place i will take my business for all my saxophone needs.

Before !!!

See all

Lee and Don are fun to be with. And they do excellent work on clarinets. Convenient too. They are close to the post office.

My son has been studying piano here with various instructors for a little over three years now. I'm…read morevery happy with his progress. In fact, I'm writing this review while he is practicing "Scarborough Fair." He's come a long way since playing early pieces without chords. :) The owner hires excellent instructors. That's one of the advantages of going to a studio instead of trying to find someone on your own. He's had the same main teacher for his whole time here, but every substitute teacher that he's had has been very good with kids. That's another advantage of a studio: weekly lessons whether or not your main instructor can make it. If you want to make progress at an instrument, you need to make a weekly commitment. The system of instruction seems to be well-thought out. I like the main set of piano books that they use, and they also add other types of pieces--jazz, some pop tunes--so that he is learning more than just the classical style. The teachers have also been willing to work with my son's interests. When he expressed an interest in playing Master of Puppets (not my idea ...) and Pinball Wizard, they found suitable music for his level so that he could give the pieces a shot. Everything is really well organized. The shift to online instruction with COVID was handled very well. It's been easy to get online with the music teachers. We also get emails after the lesson detailing what he needs to cover in the following week. I think the class makeup policy is completely fair. It is simply unreasonable to allow students to reschedule classes. For one, there is no space for it in a teacher's schedule, and it is unfair to ask teachers to reserve a couple hours a week for makeup slots that might be filled or might not be filled, effectively denying them compensation for those hours in their week. A teacher should not be robbed of income just because a family can't make a regularly scheduled time slot. And the makeup lessons they do offer are fine--they kept my son on track with his musical development, which is what I really want to see. By the way, this is not just a studio for kids who love to practice and do so without being asked. My son is not always enthusiastic about practicing, but the teachers have done a great job of keeping him motivated and working with him on those days when he hasn't done enough or is feeling a little unmotivated. Also, the studio does a great job of using a rewards system to motivate kids to keep practicing regularly. Getting music lessons can be a tremendous benefit for your child's mind and spirit. If you are thinking about music lessons for your child, but hesitant about the investment, take a look at the research that shows how music benefits cognition, memory, and mood. For a few hundred dollars a month you can potentially help your child get more out of school, as well as open up new worlds of possibility for career and social life. Amabile is a great place to make that happen. Our family is very, very happy with how we have seen our son progress.

We had some disagreements with the school about scheduling and they hung in with us and we worked it out. It's nice that there's a person (in our case, Cheri) at the other end of every email who is quick to respond to our concerns, flexible and has partnered well with us on solving problems.

Derek is an excellent teacher and musician. Over the past few months, he's helped me tremendously…read morein working toward every one of my musical goals: songwriting, improving technique, vocal development, and performance. He is also a very encouraging and supportive coach. When I began working with him, I wanted very much to perform but was terrified of it! Derek created a relaxed and positive environment for me to build up my skills and confidence, sharing wisdoms and advice from his extensive performance experience at every lesson. And when I finally felt ready for my first open mic, Derek generously came along and played with me. Having him participate in my progress--all the way to that memorable night--was invaluable. Wherever you are in your musical journey, and whatever you want to accomplish, Derek will help you get there. I highly recommend him!

I started going to Derek when I moved to SF and wanted to learn to sing to accompany my guitar…read moreplaying. My guitar playing improved immensely under Derek which I was not expecting. He gave me very valuable exercises to improve my rhythm, speed, and dexterity. I had been playing for 1.5 years before seeing Derek. When I first visited Derek, I had sloppy finger dexterity for soloing and difficulty with certain barre chords. Now I've been playing for 3 years, and I would consider myself an intermediate on the cusp of advanced guitarist. I can solo across the fretboard, play nearly all chords and chord voicings easily, and add percussive elements to my playing. I can play Jack Johnson pretty easily now. I'm currently working on perfecting a red hot chilli peppers song. I doubt I could've progressed this fast without Derek. I was pretty bad at singing when I started. Pretty cringeworthy. I've had roommates and family comment on my improved singing and overall musical ability. Lastly, Derek is kind and easygoing. I felt very at ease in his home. Within 6 months, my voice went from horrible to at least listenable. I appreciate his judgement free zone in his home while singing, which can be a pretty nerve wrecking experience. If you're on the fence, I highly recommend at least trying a few lessons.
