Unfortunately our time with saxophones, trumpets, and violins didn't go so well. That's alright as not everyone is gifted musically.

It's not huge, but they also sell guitars and other instruments. I trust their knowledge and high quality service. If you want sheet music, they have plenty of books for you. This is a community loved store for good reason! I find them to be a great value, and they've helped a lot of budding or people whom are musicians.

Later when my clarinet developed cracks while breaking it in they offered to replace it instead of having me wait for them to send it back to the manufacturer for repair. The customer service I received has been excellent and as such they are my first choice for music instrument needs. They also have a large selection of sheet music for various instruments and you can spend a lot of time just browsing their selection. Because of this I absolutely recommend them. On top of the great service and selection they provide, they are a local business that I am proud to support and encourage others to do likewise.

The staff there are very helpful from the earliest beginnings of your musical journey and continue to be there through adulthood. I've been a customer since before I became a parent, and I've bought multiple instruments for me and my now adult children. Foxes has everything from beginner instruments to vintage professional instruments. On top of having great inventory of instruments, music and accessories, Foxes Music is very generous with helping out our local schools in need. I highly recommend Foxes Music!

The idea of ear plugs for his sensitive ears. Picking out songs he likes so he can learn them with other kids. His teacher is great! And he is really enjoying it! The lessons are twice a week so it keeps drumming in his head. It feels like he is on his way to be in a kid band instead of stuck in a sound proof room playing patterns. We are very happy with the whole experience. The office manager is professional, smart and well organized. The teachers are talented and good to the kids. We will be here for a while! I look forward to my son's concerts in the future! PS - we have been to several concerts performed by a plethora of students. Very cool. Great experience!!

I don't understand this place. I got an initial call back to discuss how the place works, but then…read morescheduling a trial lesson was like pulling teeth-- calling, emailing, finally texting. Took forever. Got to the trial lesson only to be told the person we'd worked so hard to get wasn't available so it's with so-and-so. Uh. Fine, but we picked the other person for a reason. And booked another trial with the original teacher, only to get to THAT lesson and realize it's still not the instructor we'd been aiming for. While sitting during the lesson, another student walked in and was told "oh so-and-so is no longer with us so this other person will be your teacher today." What? So you're not told ahead of time? (The mom asked when they'd known this teacher was leaving and it was two weeks prior, but they didn't bother to give anyone notice.) I find it strange that you pay in advance for these situations. Anyway. It's too poorly managed for me, which is too bad because it is certainly a great concept.

I really have to thank Mr. Matt and the rest of the incredible staff. It makes me want to continue my music journey and come back very often. A big plus is their location now.

All of my previous teachers…read morehad great resumes, including one with an M.A. from USC and another who graduated from Peabody Conservatory. However, none of my teachers really taught me technique. In contrast, Gretchen can demonstrate how to move fingers and hands for every imaginable situation; and she gives invaluable advice for how to turn passages into mini-exercises for more efficient practice. While a student of Gretchen's I have managed to pass the ABRSM Grade 7 piano exam and Grade 6 theory exam. If your teacher just assigns you pieces like homework assignments and little else, then consider switching to Gretchen.

It has a small sign that does not catch my eye and is between a nail spa and a "cleaners". After all that I walked in expecting very little. A guy asked if I needed help and as I was still slightly miffed that it took me so long to find the place, I blew him off semi-politely. He kept asking and started joking but I wanted to hang on to being miffed a bit longer so I told him no thanks and continued to walk around. I found what I was looking for - piano music - but during this timeframe a young lady came in looking for an electric guitar. The guy behind the desk went right to work helping her, even though she tried to initially push him off as well. Within minutes he had helped her pick a guitar for the sound she was looking for, they were both sitting down and jamming, and he was showing her easier ways to transition between certain chords she was playing. Wow. The young man's name is Jessie. Absolute gold.
