I can't say enough good things about my experience at The Music Shop, and especially about my…read moreinstructor, Dave Wheeler. I'm a 72-year-old saxophonist who picked up the saxophone for the very first time after retiring from a 40-year career in biochemistry spanning academia and research. So yes, I came in knowing enzymes better than eighth notes. Dave has been an absolute gift. He brings a deep well of music theory knowledge, practical musicianship, and real-world experience to every lesson. More importantly, he has remarkable patience and creativity. He listens carefully, identifies where I'm struggling, and then designs clear, effective strategies that make practice both productive and enjoyable between lessons. What I especially value is that Dave doesn't teach from a script. He adapts to the student in front of him--age, background, learning style, and goals included. Thanks to his guidance, I've made steady progress, gained confidence, and genuinely look forward to practicing and improving. If you're considering lessons at The Music Shop -- whether you're 08 or 78 -- I can't recommend Dave Wheeler highly enough. He's the real deal. -- Michael Van Allen, student https://www.linkedin.com/in/michaelavanallen/

I'm sharing my experience to help others make an informed decision…read more I brought in a ~1-year-old student flute (purchased on the West Coast) for what I now know were minor adjustments. At the time, I followed the technician's recommendation for a full COA. When the instrument was returned, it played essentially the same as when I dropped it off. I brought it back a second time. It came back slightly improved, but still not properly adjusted. A few weeks later, I visited an independent flute technician in Brooklyn. He immediately identified the issues, charged nearly half the cost, spent over an hour on the instrument, and fixed it correctly. It has remained in excellent playing condition since. Based on this experience, I would not return here for service or purchase. I would strongly encourage others especially parents of student players to seek a second opinions and verify the quality of work.

This place was an absolute palace! I've never seen a guitar store as big. They have all types of…read moreguitars, amps, accessories, and even keyboards. Kara was very nice and went above and beyond for me!

If I'm being honest, I had lost a lot of faith in guitar center based on the Totowa location, and…read morehave been getting my gear largely online or from indie shops as a result. That all changed today. First time in this location, and I'm kicking myself for not stopping here sooner. I've driven past this particular store hundreds of times, but never stopped until today. First observation: this particular store has one of the better layouts I have seen as far as Guitar Center stores go. The space is massive, and everything is easy to find. The store has ample staff, all of whom are eager to help. Despite a large crowd on a busy Saturday, lines were moved quickly and customers were all attended to. Staff was incredibly friendly and struck up conversation about making music. From a drummer's perspective, this place was a jackpot. Nearly half the store was drums. I was thrilled to find a massive snare drum wall, including vintage snares. Cymbal room selection was impressive. Lots of new and second-hand drum kits to see. E-drum selection was massive and had something for everyone's budget. Where the store truly shined was with their ample parts, accessories, and tools for drummers. This is lacking in many other locations. Picked up some things I needed and fair prices (LESS than Amazon!). The staff, again, were pleasant and kind. That makes a huge difference in and of itself. Store was clean and well-organized. This is my new store for buying in-person. Period.
