Please note that CFMA does not follow the Cy-Fair ISD or any school calendar year for that matter. If your lesson doesn't fall on Thanksgiving Day or Christmas, expect your kid to have a lesson that week (instead of an opt-in for a camp like before) and you pay full rate regardless if you're out of town for break. I voiced my concerns several times having noticed this change since the departure of Ms. Nancy, but CFMA said that "this is their policy going forward". Well, you lost a customer x2 the way this was handled, having had my kid enroll for the past 4 years and my youngest this past year. No more trophies, no more incentive wristbands, no more workbooks avail for purchase - you buy your own and well, you get the picture. Teachers are great; management, truth be told, could improve on their end.

I…read morehighly recommend them Zakk Wylde even come out and play in front of the store every now and again so it's a win win win. And they also give you a case every time you buy a guitar because every guitar comes with the case, they give it to you in the original case unlike other music stores that we all know such as Sweetwater, Guitar Center, American music supply or AMS none of them in the original case you have to buy it for extra $200-$300. At TME they give you a case whatever Guitar you buy I've never left that store without a case. A hardshell case at that not a gig bag. But a real hardshell case that you could stand on all the guitars in it, and it will not hurt the Guitar. I even had one fall out the back of a truck and hit the ground pretty hard in the hard showcase and they were both fine. All three were fine 73 Gibson and less Paul 1998 seven string Ibanez RGS/RGA?? 7 7120 something like that. it was black with a Floyd rose. I don't remember what kind of pick up cause back man seven strings had just come out not many people knew how to plan now they're just as easy if not easier to play in a sixth string because everything's based on seven patterns and the strings of positions and fingering on each string and on and on and on, I think if you learn guitar theory with a seven string, you wear your ass fit a lot faster than having to see the seven string feeding pattern and the fingering positions just to get a seven string so you don't have to skip that seventh repeating pattern you just play it also you get a full three octaves instead of two octaves and 4 notes so basically anywhere from 17 to 19 notes Max. On a seven string you can complete the whole fingering pattern in each three note for string pattern and you played 3 office and your notice that if there are a much shorter space on the six string it will go from like 5th fret to 7 or eight, possibly nine

They…read morewere skilled, professional, and respectful, and the programs themselves seemed well organized. My kids enjoyed their lessons and the teaching quality was solid. Unfortunately, my experience with the owner/manager within the first two weeks was disappointing. I enrolled two of my three daughters--one in guitar and one in piano. Scenario 1: On the day of our first lesson, my oldest daughter (the guitar student) had just been to the doctor and received multiple shots in her arm. She was in pain and physically unable to hold or play a guitar. I called ahead to ask about rescheduling and was reminded of their strict 24-hour cancellation policy. The only alternative offered was a Zoom lesson, which didn't address the issue since she couldn't play at all. I brought both kids in anyway and spoke directly with the owner/manager (Caroline). She reiterated that the policy exists to ensure instructors are paid for reserved time. When I asked if there were any exceptions for situations like medical issues, she said no and added that she has run the business for 20 years and that other parents are fine with the policy. I asked a hypothetical question--if we were in a car accident on the way to a lesson, would the policy still apply? She confirmed that it would and the money paid for the spot will not be refunded nor the lesson rescheduled as a make up. I used the car accident e.g. because we were involved in one about 3 months ago. Scenario 2: The following week, I brought all three of my daughters because I didn't have childcare for my 5-year-old. While I was finishing paperwork, my youngest followed her sister into the guitar lesson room. As I went to sit in on the lesson, Caroline stopped me and explained that it was against policy for an unregistered student to be in the room. I clarified that my 5-year-old would simply sit quietly on my lap and not participate. Despite this, Caroline maintained that it wasn't allowed due to "insurance reasons." She confirmed that I could sit in on the lesson--but my 5-year-old (an "unregistered student" as she referred to her) could not be in the room. That left me with the choice of either leaving my child unattended in the lobby or standing outside the room. We ended up standing in the hallway and watching through the glass. As a parent, I prefer to be present during lessons so I can better support my kids' progress at home. This situation made that difficult. Outcome: The day after scenario 2 occurred, I received a call from Caroline informing me that both of my daughters were being disenrolled because I seemed unhappy with their policies. To be clear, my concern wasn't just the policies themselves--it was the lack of situational awareness and the unwillingness to have a reasonable, human conversation - life happens. The repeated emphasis on "policy" without any attempt at understanding the circumstances made the experience frustrating. The irony of this all is that I had sorted out an arrangement for my 5yr so I don't have to take her with me to subsequent lessons per the "Almighty Policy". While the instructors were excellent, the customer service experience literally drove us out.

Taking my children to Bach to Rock is nothing but a wonderful experience every single time for kids…read moreand parents alike. We found this gem amid the pandemic and my children have attended toddler classes, school age private lessons as well as many rock band camps during school vacations or the summer. At the camps, us parents get to enjoy a live show and get a recording from their band at the end of the week. My son even did his birthday party there and everyone got a professional recording of their performance too. They even help with goodie bags! They always want to come back to the "young and fun" staff (their words, not mine) and Caroline runs all the programs so well and is so kind. They even performed at a neighborhood festival for free and gave out prizes to the kids, everyone in our neighborhood loved it! I will continue to take my kids here as they get older, especially since there's so many different programs that they can try. You can even have a free initial trial so you don't need to sign up for something your kids won't want to do. Highly recommend for all parents who want to introduce music in a fun refreshing way!

These are just a few words that describe this awesome guitar instructor. I highly recommend Jim, and if you were to sign up, I don't think you would regret it for a minute. I got my grandson started in guitars about a year and a half ago. I became extremely tired of seeing nothing but the top of his head all the time while his beak was buried in his phone doing nothing but playing video games. We started down this journey together. I already had an acoustic guitar I had bought for my son many years ago. So, I bought another one for myself and started taking him to guitar lessons. My thought was we would do this together... like a buddy system. I became very frustrated because the instructors we used didn't seem to have any plan and had zero organization. Don't get me wrong, they were great guys and good musicians, but weak instructors. When the primary instructor was no longer available, I started looking for a new one. I did an internet search and came across Jim's name. I gave him a call and he talked with me for the better part of an hour to determine if he was going to be a good fit. Well, he was... absolutely he was! We've been going to Jim for a couple of months now and my grandson's interest has been renewed. Now he Is motivated, practices more, and really likes Jim. Not to mention, I piggyback off of the lesson and practice the same things he is teaching my grandson. To sum it up what I like about Jim Maguire is he is genuine, and I feel like he really cares about his students. You can tell just by looking at him during one of his lessons. He's always smiling, but his face really lights up when my grandson is hitting the notes and chords they are working on. A very inspiring and motivating instructor. If you are looking for a guitar instructor, I highly recommend Jim.

All of that time has…read morereinforced my experience that Jim is a rare teacher who has bottomless knowledge and depth, yet knows how to meet you where you are for what you need or want to learn. Teachers like that don't come around often. I won't recap all of the reasons--you can see my previous review. Just suffice it to say that if you have a chance to work with Jim either online or in person, you are lucky. Jump in--you won't regret it.
