If you ever get a chance to follow someone who invites you to the upper levels, go do it no matter how not into guitars you might be. Up there you will see the collection only extremely serious buyers and collectors are interested in. This also includes George's personal collection.

Just had an experience with Rumble Seat that made me question which year it was…read more Saw a guitar listed online that interested me, and then saw that it was not too far from me -- right here in Nashville. Called the store. A human answered, pretty quickly. I mentioned the guitar and my interest. He went and physically found the guitar, so that we could talk about it. My budget only allowed for a certain amount, so I made him an offer. He said yes, if I came in today, we could do that. When I came in, I found the guitar needed some work. Nothing too bad, but above my skill set to make it really shine. As I left, I thanked him. He thanked me also, and said, "Now you don't have to wonder about it!" The rest of the world may be somewhere between 2026 and 2097, but Rumble Seat Music is a portal back to my first music store experiences in the early 1990s.

Had the pleasure of working with Joey in California and found his instuction to be highly…read moreprofessional and knowledgeable. Could not give a more enthusiastic recommendation. Unfortunately one day he indicated that soon he would be "moving up the hill"(his home was about half way up a beautiful hill). When the move became imminent i offered to give him a hand moving up the hill and he replied "what hill, I'm moving Nashville". Too many years of wife yelling in my ears i suppose. Our loss, Nashville's gain. Again, if your a beginner or a pro, i would urge you to speak with Joey.

When I heard School of Rock had an adult program, I was ecstatic. Sure, $320 a month isn't cheap,…read morebut breaking it down into a weekly lesson and a band rehearsal actually amortizes pretty well. I walked into my trial lesson fully intending to sign up. I wanted private instruction to help me move past the intermediate plateau--learning the fretboard deeply rather than just robotically regurgitating tabs. Unfortunately, the trial was highly disorganized. While the instructor was a skilled player, he ran a complex exercise that didn't match the baseline I had explicitly laid out. Instead of pivoting when I clearly struggled, we just burned through the clock. Worst of all, we spent zero time on what is supposed to be the core School of Rock curriculum: breaking down specific song parts to learn the technicals. Just as we were finally about to start, he ended the lesson early. Assuming the trial lesson was meant to mirror a regular lesson, I was shorted a significant chunk of the advertised time. This place seems excellent for beginners, and I'd highly recommend it for kids. But the onboarding for adults needs work. When I gave honest, non-harsh feedback to the studio manager about my experience, the response was a rigid ultimatum: no further trials, but I could pay $65 for an extra lesson or just commit to a full month to "see how it feels." I might still roll the dice on a month because the performance-based concept is incredibly cool, but hitting a warm lead with a low-effort cash grab after a provably bad first impression isn't great salesmanship. It feels like a massive risk to drop that much cash on a "maybe."

The only blip was when she hired a GM from another music program who was rude and just didn't get it but they fixed that issue quickly and the program is moving forward once again.

They are learning and improving every week and they are having fun with it. I especially love that Jennifer not only works through lessons books with them, but she has been incorporating ear training as well and helping them play popular songs on the radio by ear. This helps keep things fun and balanced for them. She is also not afraid to venture into new areas with the kids as they show interest. For example, my oldest recently joined a band, and Jennifer has been helping him work on his band songs as needed. He is also showing interest in songwriting, and she has been happy to help and encourage that. Additionally, my daughter has shown interest in playing and singing, but she is a little shy about it. Jennifer has been great at encouraging her and giving her the opportunity to sing and play. We have recommended Jennifer to several of our kids' friends whose parents have approached us about starting piano lessons. Each have told us how please they are with how lessons are going and how grateful they are for the recommendation. We love her and can't recommend her highly enough.
