STAY FAR AWAY FROM MUSIC LESSONS HERE…read more We traded in our son's violin for a pair of clarinet lessons with Victor, who I would not trust around anyone's children. Our 11 year old son, who loves the clarinet and absolutely loves music class in school, was shamed for not being as good a clarinet player as the instructor (who spent a considerable amount of time during the lesson showing off and playing the instrument instead of trying to teach). The instructor, Victor, ridiculed our son for not knowing how to read music well, and also took posters down off of the walls when he said the boy was being distracted.  When our son was crying, the instructor, Victor, even blamed our son and said, "Why are you crying? I didn't do anything." This clarinet instructor, Victor, is absolutely terrible with children and I can't believe he does this for a living. After the session, he was brazen enough to psychoanalyze the child IN FRONT OF HIM and say that "he doesn't take constructive criticism well." Telling someone that they aren't good enough or  are doing something wrong is not constructive criticism. There's nothing constructive about derisive language. An entry-level child student is looking for instruction, support, and uplifting, not negative reinforcement. Instead of clarinet lessons, what we received was abuse and an insult to music instructors everywhere. TERRIBLE. 0/5 stars

A very disappointing experience! I came in with my two…read moredaughters--one needed to have her violin repaired, and the other was hoping to purchase a violin. The elderly lady who helped us showed clear disdain when I mentioned I was looking for a violin in the $100 to $200 range. She said buying a violin at that price was a joke, and repeatedly remarked how poor the quality of the violin I brought in for repair was. I found her attitude extremely uncomfortable, and my daughters felt embarrassed as well. I don't believe anyone should be treated with disrespect just because they are purchasing a lower-priced instrument. I was very put off by the experience, and I truly don't understand where this Korean lady's sense of superiority is coming from.

It was not in good shape and needed some major restoration. I was concerned about what much it would cost and while talking to a friend, he referral me to Patrick at Everjoy Music. The store is located inside of a business complex, easy to find and plenty of parking. I brought my cello to Patrick and he was warm, knowledgeable, honest, and gave me options because of my limited budget. He made his recommendations and I was able to tell him parts I wanted to keep even though it wasn't ideal to keep them; he made it work and understood I had sentimental values. He respected my wishes. I came in feeling out of depth, really haven't played for so long and not feeling confident at all handling a cello. Patrick never made me feel less or unimportant. Estimated time was about a month but Patrick contacted me after 2 weeks that it was done. I picked up the newly restored cello today and it was so beautiful and the sound made me wanted to cry. Thank you, Patrick, for your wonderful handiwork. Thank you for being so easy to talk to and work with.

Every time we call, they're always great on the phone too. The outside does not look like much but there are so many precious music instruments inside for your choosing.

My…read moredaughter has been a piano student of Stella's for three years, taking weekly, private lessons, and her technique, knowledge and appreciation of playing piano is outstanding. Stella clearly has a natural gift for music and teaching, and even more so teaching children. She knows when to push and when to comfort. Stella is talented, kind, accommodating, encouraging, and wants the best for her students both musically and in general. Her prices are reasonable and fair considering her experience and the time and effort she puts into teaching. Her studio is warm, welcoming, clean and comfortable. I cannot imagine our life without Stella and the positive impact she has made in my daughter's life so far. Schedule a lesson now...you won't regret it!

We enrolled him in Rock 101 on guitar because of his interest in music, lack of interest in sports, and our desire to get him involved in something that would force him out of his comfort zone. The results have been more than I could have asked for. We're approaching 2 years in, he's performed about 6 concerts now (each time feeling less and less anxious), and has developed a real skill. His private teacher Cameron is just awesome, and has provided our son with consistent, encouraging feedback. He's made our son comfortable in a way I didn't expect from this place. We signed up our younger son for drums, and he loves it as well. I highly encourage kids to sign up. It's free to try out and the monthly cost is worth every penny. Our kids are ages 6 and 9 and love it.

Recommend people to take the trail class they offer first before making a decision to see if that's something you and your kids are looking for.
