I started my son taking voice lessons here earlier in the year. He has been involved in Theater and…read moreMusicals and wanted to build on his singing skills. The Music Box has a few options and several instructors. There are profiles on their site to help see how your potential instructors are before you start. Once you start attending, the same instructor works with you week after week (there was one exception where my son had a "sub" - but he knew about it in advance and we could have addressed it if there were concerns). Having the same instructor work with my son has been really helpful as she coaches him on his progress. Out instructor has been personable and helpful - he is continuing to grow in his confidence as a singer. The folks at the Music Box front desk are also easy to communicate with - although there have been one or two incidents of communication breakdown about various things (closures & make--up lessons in particular) - overall it has been positive. The make-up policies are a bit stringent; for example if you get sick on the day of, they don't do make-ups....although they offer virtual sessions (which is probably less helpful if you are sick and nursing your voice)....while not ideal, I believe that's pretty standard across music lesson places. That doesn't make it better - but doesn't really rank them any worse among other music lesson places. Again, criticisms aside, the overall experience here is positive. I think the most import part is that the student connects with their instructor, which I feel is occurring. THe instructors here appear to have sufficient resumes, and our instructor for my son does move him in the right direction musically. A quick note about the parking lot......if you come after work hours, it is particularly busy. There is not much space there, so it can be a challenge......just something to consider when booking your time, its not unmanageable, but it's sometimes a struggle.

My kids have participated in several recitals as well as performed in shows at various venues. The instructors are all accomplished musicians in their own right and their love for music shines through in the way they encourage their students and it's often difficult to tell who is more excited about the students progress. They truly care about their students. If you visit The Music Box be prepared for "joyful noise". Naturally you hear ongoing lessons, but it's the laughter and pure joy that is often the most striking. If your child has expressed an interest in music, check out The Music Box. You will be so happy that you did.

It's like the kids have their own "scene" and it's just really an awesome way for them to learn real world experience. Management is laid back yet knowledgeable.

Gary and his team are wonderful! I've taken my saxophone here many times and have always had a…read moregreat experience, whether it be for tune ups or for some overhaul work. Gary is the only one that works on saxophones, so his list can get pretty long, especially during the summer months when school is out. However, he always does his best to fit you in and work with your schedule. The work he does is fantastic! He's put some new pads on with the kangaroo skin he works with and recently did an overhaul of the right hand and I've noticed such a huge difference in my ease of playing the low notes. I kept thinking it was me the whole time until he fixed it up and now I'm playing great! No need for an appointment, you can just show up with your instrument. If you are on a deadline though, I would call to see how his list is looking and why your projected turnaround time is.

I called to make my appointment, which I originally thought I'd have to do on the weekend since all other string stores are closed by the time I'm off work, and Molly was happy to give me some time on a Thursday night. I think I was there till a little after 8 and at no point did I feel rushed. When I arrived she had a select few violins ready for me to try for my level. In our initial phone call I hadn't given too much information about my skill but her selections for me were 100% what I needed. From reviews at other shops I thought I was going to be pressured into buying something expensive that I didn't need. That was absolutely not the case here. The selections she showed me were all in my price range and she answered any questions I had to make sure I chose the perfect instrument. I'll definitely be coming back.
