My kids started taking music lessons here a few years ago. They switched from a more traditional…read moreprogram where they were growing bored. Here, students learn the basics but can also bring in music they want to learn. We have tried piano, guitar and now drums and have been very happy. The school also participates in community events and finds great locations for their recitals each year. No long term commitments - they charge on a monthly basis. I do wish they offered a sibling discount or family discount though.

The community at Hochstein is so warm and welcoming- seeing our friends at "the orange music school" has quickly become my little one's favorite part of the week.

Out of the 6 different music stores recommended by my daughter's teacher, their rental pricing is…read moremid-range and comparable to others. I remember String House decades ago when I used to play so I knew they were reputable. They also carried the book and CD that we needed to purchase. Look for the white house with the bright red door on Monroe Ave. Parking is in the back. It was a short wait while they finished with other customers. The rental process was easy and quick. My daughter was already measured, but the associate did a quick double check and tuned the violin. It came with the basics - violin, bow, case, rosin, and a nametag. The price includes insurance and repairs during the rental period, which is a school year or 12 months. We didn't have to buy a shoulder rest because sponges usually work fine for the little ones, but it fit her well so we bought one, in her favorite color pink. Seamless rental process and so beautiful to see the instruments displayed all along the ceiling. It was nostalgic!

They have everything from concert tees, albums (vinyls, cassettes, cds), guitars, pedals, etc Some stuff you see in there just isn't preserved correctly though which is really sad... some stuff has been sitting in sun light so long and is so faded its heart breaking. They could definitely go through a lot of stuff to make some space in the clutter. I know that's part of the charm but it really makes it look like shit in there. I know I sound harsh but that place really is dope and is a true gem especially with the artists who have come through to take pics and play there!

He made everything so easy - asking questions about the history of our piano and how we used it up front, explaining what he quickly found and what his plan was, and then getting it to sound great. No judgement at all about the fact that we hadn't ever had it tuned since we got it in estate sale years ago (eek!). I didn't think it sounded too bad before - hence putting it off for so long - but now I know how bad it was! Piano sounds great and I'm even more encouraged to play now. It was great supporting a local, truly family business (and for a totally fair price). I already scheduled my follow up in six months and look forward to seeing Steve or his team again then.

They seem to truly care for our daughter and that brings us peace of mind. We can that Kids First is a nurturing environment based on the daily snapshots and also by our daughter's happy demeanor when picking her up. It's nice to have consistent teachers with low turnover. I think Melissa has been with Kids First for almost 20 years. We are so much happier at Kids First than at the other previous daycare (DoodleBugs). It seems smaller and close-knit with excellent caring staff. I'm hoping that when our daughter graduates to the next classroom, the teachers will just be as good.
