I would not recommend this business to anyone! There are some great teachers, I'm sure, but the…read moremanagement is completely lacking! Customer service is non-existant and totally disorganized. I have heard this from numerous others who have tried NMS and have since gone elsewhere. They have been around a long time which is why they have a solid client base with seasoned teachers. However, if you're a newer customer, forget it! They couldn't care less about attracting new business. And the owner is just pain RUDE.

I have been a piano student at Sollohub for almost a year. I had been interested in piano lessons…read morefor a long while and saw an online offer. I took a leap of faith, bought the offer, and it has turned into a fabulous experience. I've learned more than I could imagine before I started. My instructor is amazing. She also teaches other instruments and voice, but my focus is piano. She is not only an instructor, but also a professional performer. Very qualified and fun. I could not be more pleased with my experience at Sollohub School of Music. During the fall, students were given the option of signing up for recording sessions at a professional studio in Denver. As a total beginner, I did not participate, but what a great opportunity to create holiday gifts for those more accomplished students. If you are considering lessons for yourself or a family member, I highly recommend Sollohub School of Music. As I come and go, I see mostly school age kids arriving for lessons, so the school serves all ages.

This is a really cool shop with a lot of great stuff beyond just musical instruments. I would come…read morehere more often and spend money, however, the reason I'm giving two stars is because everytime I go in there, it feels awkward, like I'm a burden for even showing up and I don't feel welcomed. I understand the employees are busy, and that it's a pawn shop, but the last two times I've been there, no one was in the shop and the two guys there weren't on the phone and didn't even acknowledge me when I walked in. One guy by the front kind of gave me a weird look and didn't even say hello. I don't need some jolly fellow to loudly greet me and talk my ear off. But a simple acknowledgment that I'm there and a quick "Hey, welcome to our shop, let me know if I can answer any questions" goes a long way. Cool shop, bad customer service.

My boys have been taking piano here for about seven months. The instructors are just fantastic…read more They started with guitar, until their teacher noticed my younger kiddo playing around on the piano, and asked if he wanted to switch instruments.

Banjo selection has got to be the best in the state, and they still have a good selection of other instruments as well. If you ask nicely, they'll let you test drive some absolute beauts! Also very helpful with set ups, accessories, and just generally talking to you about what you're looking for without judginess. (Which bears mentioning because some music stores can feel very cliquey and/or gate keepy.) We're honestly pretty lucky to still have a place like this. Go support it so we keep it!

You can also see where the old pick guard was and when you lay the old pickguard on top of the new they are not the same size. First time I've here and I came because of all of the reviews. I need to have tuners replaced, but now I will also have the new pick guard replaced too. I won't have them do it. It cost $410.

My oldest daughter auditioned at DSA last winter and after several weeks of waiting for that letter…read moreto arrive it finally did and after screaming so loud she scared the tar out of our mailman the celebration began. Samantha had been accepted at DSA and her middle school career was about to begin! She has been at the school as a theater major for almost 8 months now and I must say, I am most impressed. Actually impressed doesn't quite cover it. I am completely and utterly floored, flabbergasted and blown away.... The talent here is ridiculous and like Colin mentioned in his review, DSA offers some of the most wonderful plays, musicals, concerts and dance productions in the entire Metro area. Last night's performance was a Broadway review which the kids will actually perform downtown tonight for a big fund-raising gala for The Kempe Foundation. There are simple not enough ways to describe just how talented these kids are and how spectacular the show was. As the first act began and the young lady opened her mouth, my God the sound that came out was quite literally unreal. To be so young and so gifted it was enough to bring a person to tears. Things got better from there, which is hard to believe considering it started out at FANTASTIC! There were dancers and singers and actors which easily rival anything on Broadway. Numbers from Annie, and Hair, Joesph and the Technicolor Dream coat, Hair spay, and several others, for 10 bucks. It was a night for the record books, and as a mama so full of pride and awe I must say... my baby kicked some series Broadway booty last night. Way to go kiddo! So if you are looking for some raw and insane talent for a very reasonable price and feel like contributing to a great, local and PUBLIC school in Denver, get yourself on their newsletter list and ENJOY!!! You'll be toe tapping and singing along I guarantee it!

My name is Dr. Don Shearer, Jr., PhD, MS, MBA, MS, BS, and a BBA…read more My son is a 9th grader and vocal major at DSA. He is a very accomplished vocalist and performer. Last year under vocal instructor Mr. Shively. He grew in his vocal skills, stage behavior, technical knowledge, and began to grow socially. His 8th grade tenure in Vocal had as an instructor Mr. Shively. Mr. Shively was wholly inspirational and a perfectionist. This man while having teaching methodologies which put students on the spot was sincerely trying to graduate skilled vocalists and further DSA's Vocal Department. He put people on the spot and caused 4 mediocre students to feel uncomfortable. He was fired for actually doing his job - to make DSA vocal graduates world class vocalists. All of his performances in 2017/18 were sold out. He was quite a revenue producer for DSA. He typically received standing ovations as did the performing artists in his performances. His and a vocal co-instructor's tenures with the DSA were cut short under very mysterious circumstances. Needless to say, their replacement who began teaching in fall of 2018, MKQ, has put the DSA vocal department into a death spiral with no upper level management intervention to improve a dying vocal department: 1) In trying to fill both ex-vocal instructors' shoes, MKQ is clearly in over her head and apparently going down for the third time. 2) The vetting in her hiring process was not shared very well with the vocal departments parents. The DSA hurt our vocal department because of their slipshod hiring practices And thus cast doubt on other candidates existence.Parents by the way who have realistic expectations and extreme investments to ensure their children graduate from a prestigious vocal school. MKQ may have been an emergency hire to plug the gaping hole in DSA's nationally renowned vocal program. A) Nearly all of the classes in 2018 and earlier had wonderful trips, e.g., my son had a chance to sing at the Radio City Music Hall in New York city. B) During MKQ's tenure the vocal department my son hasn't mentioned anything about guest performances. 3) MKQ's talents organizationally are abysmal in my opinion. I have taught at the college level and having graduate level training in assessing organizational skills. She can't set up a performance and have it come off in the way Mr. Shively did apparently very easily. 4) MKQ has in the facebook post for the bio that, "MKQ has brought a new teaching style that makes MKQ's students want to learn more. MKQ's undying enthusiasm and . . . 5) Just ask any Vocal major and you'll find students among them contemplating leaving DSA to attend another high school. My son plans to get his GED and attend a trade school. The principal Bill Kohut is leaving. Good God how much further will this fine school be a vocal major ghost town.
