My son came home from his first day of fifth grade this year with a huuuuuge smile on his face…read more What followed out of his mouth were the words my wife and I, as HIGHLY non-musically-talented folks, have been worried we'd hear for years: "I want to join strings this year!" What instrument? What size of that instrument? Do instruments even come in different sizes...?!? How much does that cost? Do you rent or buy? If it doesn't work out, do we give it back? All of these questions and more were answered when we walked into REW a couple nights later! Oh, boy, and we weren't alone! I think just about every music-inspired kiddo from a tri-state area was there getting fitted and equipped with their instruments. But, the folks at REW were ready! They were amply staffed, and the team (yes, "TEAM") of folks who answered all our questions, got us the VIOLA of my fifth-grader's dreams, and checked out with a lovely payment plan setup that night were all absolutely fantastic! I had ZERO idea or expectation of how and where to start on this journey; upon walking into REW, all of that washed away, and we're now a few weeks into our first year of strings, and my fifth grader couldn't be happier!

I'm still an early beginner on bass, but I've been playing acoustic guitar for about 10 years so cut me a little slack The store has a great selection of instruments, which I really appreciated. However, the help I received was a bit inconsistent. At times, it felt like some employees weren't very interested in assisting me, possibly because I'm newer to electric gear. I was hoping for more guidance on what I actually needed, rather than just being pointed toward what was available to sell. That said, Kurt really stood out. He was super helpful, welcoming, and made me feel comfortable plugging in and trying things out even if I didn't sound great That kind of experience goes a long way. I did end up buying a bass and amp from the Kansas City location, and honestly, I don't think I would've made the purchase without Kurt's help. Appreciate it, man.

I started my journey at Music House School of Music after seeing the incredible progress my kid…read moremade as a bassist. It inspired me to finally commit to learning an instrument, something I'd always wanted to do. Both of us started as beginners and, thanks to the amazing instruction, we now perform with bands. Music House truly is an incredible place to learn. Aiden and Jerad, my instructors, have challenged me in ways that have allowed me to confidently call myself a musician. My kid can proudly say the same. If you're looking to learn how to rock, Music House is the place to be!

Their style of instruction has clicked for him and they have "gently" coaxed him into comfortable performance settings that have really done wonders for him, beyond traditional private lessons. He's asked for additional lessons and even played in one of their bands, results we couldn't have dreamed about the year before he started lessons.

She brought down every instrument I wanted to try. Explained the pros and cons of everything in detail, etc. Who knew I'd end up leaving after renting a cello (I mean, I guess it's like a giant violin, so maybe I didn't stray too far) and signing up for lessons as soon as they have an instructor available. Lol!! They also have a location maybe 2 miles from us which is a plus as well. Very helpful, highly recommended even if you have zero clue where to start.

One on one music lessons are available and or join the school band that is tailored to their age group. They play in shows and practice together regularly to form lasting friendships with their band mates. Everyone who works here is fantastic and very musically inclined and knowledgeable.

Went up to playing his first show on drums with the band, which they happily named The Snake Skulls! Price can get a little steep, but if you can afford it, it's one of the best places we've been for music lessons. The staff is amazing and welcoming. Kyle was terrific with the kids and would always stop to talk music with me when he could. Jeremy is extremely helpful with anything you need and would answer all my questions about drum tech, even helping us find a good deal on an electric kit for our son to practice on at home. Hopefully one day, we will be able to start lessons here again.

Didn't know this place existed!…read more Stopped in on a lark and bought three LPs right off the bat. This place is a dream. It's look and feel harken back to the old days of being able to wander into a record store shop around and flip through several hundred LPs check- out the latest stuff in from both the new and the latest used music. Then you can wander over to the other part of the store and look at the classic toys you grew up with and reminics about how much your Heman collection would be worth. Then snag a Voltron figure for your office shelves! I guess this shows how nerdy I actually am... but I know I will see many of you at this store!

I am used to going to the Friends of the Library which I have a membership and so those prices are excellent and comparison. I purchased the book today because I had checked online and on Amazon it was two dollars more for brand new.

We settled at 52%, and they claimed all these reasons why they couldn't give me 70%, such as condition, shipping, labor etc. Long story short I'm writing this review because they took my ETBS and listed them ABOVE market, when they claimed they couldn't offer me 70% because of "condition," and they would have to list them BELOW market, they are scammers. I knew I should have ran, but again, I needed the money and didn't think. Go anywhere else you can in KC that's collector friendly.
