Top notch expertise. I've been a Nashville pro for 45 years and I've known Joe about that long…read more He's not the cheapest in town, but he'll treat you right. Recently I brought out an older Chinese-made guitar expecting snorts of derision. Another tech had told me it needed all new frets, bridge, and nut. I suspect he just couldn't get the buzz out of a few positions and wanted to be rid of me. The dude behind the counter at Glaser's, played it and then talked to me about my use of the guitar. He then told me, I would likely just need some new strings, and handed it back, no charge! That's service!

Tech asked how I like my setup and I said low action. Waited a month and half and just picked up my guitar and the action is really high and the guitar plays much worse now then it did prior. Its a 2k guitar so its not junk. Really disappointed I waited so long for a subpar setup.

Finally I decided to make that trip and I am really glad I did. Renee is obviously a pro. She listened to me and watched my body as I sang and was able to identify my strengths and weaknesses. She then gave me instructions on how to improve. Of course, now it's up to me but she was really able to communicate what needs to be done. I've already set up a follow up Skype session.

If helping improve your community is a priority for you, getting involved with W.O. Smith Music…read moreSchool is a great place to start. I have been to a few fundraiser events that have benefited W.O. Smith and donated some funds, but wish that I could just do more. Basically, W.O. Smith Music School provides music lessons to children from low-income families for 50¢ per lesson. The faculty is comprised of generous community volunteers and all all of the instruments and materials are loaned to the students at no additional cost. There are other volunteer opportunities that include library management, assisting at the front desk, and coordinating special events. In regards to donations, you may give personally or include W.O. Smith in your corporate giving plan as well. The Music School is also a gorgeous large event space an my be rented out. I happen to get all warm and fuzzy when I can participate in ways that will help better my community. All around, just a wonderful place!

She also dropped/picked up our bags from our Airbnb. Each time she was super communicative and on time. Erin's (the owner) upfront communication and estimates were so timely and very helpful!! I had ZERO worries. She did a great job of coordinating everything beforehand and during our trip. Her local person on the ground, Dana, was lovely and super reliable! I highly recommend her service whether you're traveling to Nashville or Chicago. You won't be sorry!!

I was moving back to New York and they did not have weekend availability as I work during the week so they just kept my $100. after continually emailing them to refund me for a service I did not receive they said their policy is in the fine print at the bottom which you can barely see of course. to keep $100 for not giving a voice lesson is absurd and if I have to pay up front then at least show the schedule so I can see if I am even able to do it. this is my first yelp review I have ever written and it's absolute bullshit they could not just refund me.

The moment I started lessons with Vanessa, things just started to click. My voice has radically changed for the better. I'm able to hit notes I was never able to hit and I hit them with ease.

Not only that, everyone who works there are very lovely people, dedicated to teaching, and humble; I would unequivocally recommend pursuing the many options they offer to learn or develop your or your child's/children's musical talents. I'd advise anyone reviewing the 2 negative Yelp reviews to critically analyze what Christine P and Margaret T have written. What does this have to do with their operating and successful business that they've established and owned for years? Ok, so let's go to the mistreatment of animals accusation. I'm an animal lover and have many animal companions I'm blessed to provide and care for. But....Hmmmm....look critically at the ONE photo posted. Seems like there's a nice overhang or porch where the good boy goes to get shade and his food/water. That's conveniently not included in any additional photos on the Yelp post to make such a claim, that has nothing to do with the business, and the service they provide. Not to mention how hurtful and damaging that is to accuse someone of animal abuse. I'd be VERY sure before I did something like that on a public forum. Defamation of Character is a real thing, especially with unjustified claims that could potentially disrupt someone's business. Zoom in to the picture. He appears to be an elderly dog. He does not look emaciated or lacking in care in any way (I.e. fleas, ticks, mange, starvation, sores that are indicative of "day after day" being chained up without food and water). Sometimes, people do know better for their pets than a knee jerk assumption on your part. If I had a blind, elderly dog, or if he/she had a continence issue, and I had to work or run errands, etc. and I didn't want him/her to run into the road and get hit by a car and suffer a terrible death, but also not closed in or contained in the house, denying the sun, the breeze, and smells and all the things dogs enjoy outside, I'd have him/her on a lead for sure. I'm going to wrap this up by bringing this review back to what it SHOULD be about. The instructors are not just instructors... they have been, and are, established musicians; I recommend doing the research...incredibly talented people and artful in their approach to teaching all types of people.
