And another mini room dedicated to puzzles for all ages, jigsaw puzzles organized by age level and number of pieces, as well as mechanical puzzles and brain teasers. I was able to find a 100-piece glitter puzzle featuring unicorns and rainbows, perfect for my niece's bday. Staff was hard to find, roaming around the store blending in customers wandering the aisles. But once the employee saw me waiting at the front counter, he helped grab my selected puzzle off a top shelf and the purchase process was quick and easy. Free street parking was limited on a Friday afternoon, but not impossible to find. I secured a spot just a block away.

My teenage son has taken piano lessons at Galina's Music Studio for several years and is now taking…read moreguitar lessons there, as well. He has had two excellent piano teachers, who are formally trained and know how to teach. He has been learning a combination of classical music, theory, and now jazz improvisation, and he's even been getting tips on how to record and edit music using an iPod and computers. His guitar teacher is also formally trained and is teaching fundamentals along with how to play songs. On both instruments, his pace of learning has been fast and his teachers have inspired him to practice and to enjoy music. The studio also sets up recitals and other events at quality venues. Overall, I highly recommend the studio.

We can help advanced students develop their skills to prepare for auditions and competitions while introducing music to students who are just getting started. I admire and appreciate all of my students, whether they are continuing their studies, learning piano for the first time, or returning after a hiatus. With the studio, I aim to combine the best of the Russian and American approaches to music. We provide students with a strong foundation in classical music while giving them the freedom to explore their interests. Music is so universal--I have lived in three countries and traveled to many more and music is the one language everyone immediately understands.

Unfortunately, because of my mindset, I let it sit in the corner of my home office all that time. I finally started Guitar lessons back in January of this year with Chris Dunleavy, my teacher once every week for 30 minute sessions. WOW.......This has been the greatest thing in the world I did to get this new skill heading in the right direction. Learning to play the guitar doesn't happen over night, just like anything else we learn that is worthwhile. Chris helped me to make progress week by week, step by step, skill by skill. He is an accomplished musician, just like ALL of the instructors in that store. I now know for a fact, that I will accomplish, together with Chris exactly where I want to go. Im seeing it come alive week by week ane Im so happy with the results,. I started with zero Guitar skills. I am actually playing songs now. The entire staff in this store all amazing!! Its like a fun place to be for learning and support - super cool family culture and they all love music. Shout out to Sid the store manager for creating a great culture, Cathryn Price - the manager of the instructors and lessons department - truly a "PRICE"less personality; and of course to Chris my personal instructor!! If youre sitting on the fence... JUST DO IT..... and remember it's about PROGRESS NOT PERFECTION! Take advantage of the FREE 15 minute Trial sessions and the scheduled Free Saturday Group sessions. So much to learn from gredat musicians!!

I highly recommend Chris Ansuini and Seeds of Music Academy for music instruction. Obviously, he is…read moreexpert in all types of guitar instruction and has been teaching me bass, electric, and acoustic guitar as well as music theory and reading music. He also knows the local music scene, has introduced me to other players at my level, and has coached our band and set up shows for us to perform live. Our band also worked with Jules Leyhe of Seeds... who is also excellent. Regarding whether you should get a music teacher, my experience is that I progressed much faster, maybe twice as much, because a teacher pushes you to do the things you need to do, but hate doing, in order to improve, e.g., tempo, theory. Put another way, you spend much more time practicing and much less time noodling.

As I sat and thought about it, I couldn't let that happen, so I found Sweet Sound Piano. I got so lucky that they just happened to be in the area and came over within a few hours, picked up and stored the piano for 2 years because I didn't have the space for it at the time. After purchasing another home, I had the perfect place for it, they delivered my piano and it was in perfect condition! I highly recommend Sweet Sound, they did an amazing job for me. I have read some of the other reviews about them trying to sell services, etc. and honestly, I don't understand what's wrong with that. They are a business and if they have products and services that help preserve the fine instrument, why would they not offer those services? They offered additional services to me as well, I chose what I wanted and said no to what wasn't important to me at the time. I'm adding this in because I am going to choose to use them again soon and I am very happy with their service and my decision to continue to use Sweet Sound Piano!
