I am a huge fan of this store, and always have been.

I love to shop local and independent, and this store harkens back to a different time where music shops had character. The selection has always included what I was looking for. This Christmas, I was thrilled to open a Stratocaster purchased from this store by my wife. I have never had a guitar that played as good out of the box than this one, and the staff in this store clearly set the guitar up BEAUTIFULLY. Needless to say, they know what they're doing here, and that is hard to find these days. Additionally, my wife raved about how kind, patient, and supportive they were throughout the process, given that she is not a musician. This personal touch is well-worth a few extra bucks because it is independently owned. I can't recommend this store enough.

I started playing as an adult, for my own enjoyment (a hobby) and have discovered that my life is richer as a result of playing.

It would be "easier" sometimes to do other activities, but then I would not have the added pleasure of music in my life!! My only regret is that I did not start sooner!

I started guitar lessons here yesterday and I am so impressed…read more So, no I don't know how to play the guitar after just one lesson, but I'm excited about the possibility of getting there one day!! I have been toying with the idea of getting a guitar for several years now and finally took the plunge. I originally considered trying to learn guitar from a DVD or YouTube videos, but after trying to do chords off of a DVD, I was getting super frustrated that my girly fingers are just not long enough to stretch the way they needed to to make those chords. I started lessons here yesterday after hearing about Fort Lee School of Music from a friend. I'm so glad I did. The first lesson was really great. Mike, the owner and the guitar instructor is really patient and even better, his lessons are really individualized to how you want to learn guitar, and what you want to learn. Because I'd expressed concern about being able to reach the chords, he taught me some chromatic exercises on the lower frets, and I'm practicing moving up the fret board to give my fingers some exercise in stretching and getting used to the movements. Seems like such a great way to start. We'll see how it goes since this was just lesson #1 and I'll possibly update this review at a later time. For now though, I am really impressed and have already recommended Fort Lee School of Music to a friend who's autistic son is wanting to learn guitar.

Ira was an excellent teacher. I worked with him for about a half a year and in that time he was…read moreable to teach me so much. He is a very easy going instructor and made the process very easy for me by teaching me songs I was very familiar with and interested in. He went out of his way to make himself familiar with songs that he might normally not play himself, but knew I would like. Each week he was always on time and came prepared with new material and techniques to keep things always changing. He is a very good instructor that you will learn a lot from and also share a lot of laughs making the overall experience a real good time.

From my experience Ira is very flexible with scheduling, personable and funny (which makes things way more comfortable), and a talented musician who obviously enjoys playing and teaching guitar. He comes to the first class with a instructional book that is very easy to practice with. All in all, I would highly recommend Ira if you are an adult (or if you have a child) who is interested in learning to play guitar!

I must say I kick myself in the butt for not taking lessons before because the lessons have paid off big time. The book is a great starter book for beginners and and even a great refresher course for advanced drummers to get get back to basics and beyond. Dan is great teacher and explains things how you could understand. I look foward to taking more lessons and the next book and hopefully more after that. The main thing I got from the book and the lessons are what I call the three p's of drumming, patience,practice and perfection..
