I went in to Music and Arts to purchase some music. I was dubious at first considering the…read morereputation this company has for rotten customer service. I have not had the experience of purchasing instruments with this M&A company but my in-store experience could not have been better. A gentleman named Rick helped me find vocal music that I was searching for and never made me feel rushed or pressured. He was extremely knowledgeable and friendly. Class act. When I went to check out, another young man, (I think his name was John) checked me out quickly and was very friendly. The team there was professional and the store was beautifully laid out and clean. I found myself wanting to buy more stuff just because the store looked so nice and the staff was so easy to work with. I will go back to purchase more vocal selections as well as "stuff" for my music students.

LONG, True Story: I…read morehave been paying monthly for my son's trumpet from Music Center, now apparently bought out by the Music & Arts. So earlier in the month I received in invoice from the new company stating I was 3 months behind (pause... breathe... incorrect) so I called and spoke with a nice woman initially who said that account info was being transferred so it may take a few more weeks for my payments to appear on their records. I said ok I will call next week to make a payment. It was a pleasant conversation, hung up, felt ok. I call yesterday to see if everything transferred over and to make my payment, another rep stated that I had made a payment on 05/02/18 $35 charge and $96 on 05/16/18. (PAUSE) I didn't make either payment. So I explained that I haven't made ANY payments to the new company so how did they receive a payment? Who authorized said payment(s)? Riddle me this Batman. Now we have a problem. I am not on a direct draft, I pay with my debit card monthly that is not kept on file... or so I thought. The rep was extremely unhelpful so I asked for a manager, who surprisingly was unavailable at the moment and would return my phone call in 24-48 hours. Immediately hung up the phone and called the local store. Spoke with the sweetest gentleman who mentioned he had worked with Music Center for 38 years prior to the acquisition. I explained what happened and he was apologetic but said he was unable to assist because he TOO had to call the same UNHELPFUL and UNPROFESSIONAL customer service department. I informed him this is why people do not deal with big companies and prefer small, local businesses. He also mentioned that Quite a few people have been calling and he would pass teh information on. Fast forward this morning, hubs texts me and asks if I used the cc for a payment.... Nope... But now I wonder, was it for Music & Arts? Yes. Impossible lol How did they get that credit card number? Never used it to make payments. So, he calls.... Again, no direct response except the one possibility, "Someone must have purchased an instrument?". And yes, the Manager was again unavailable. She tells him to dispute it with the bank lol (Superior customer service). At no point did she ask his name, phone number, account associated. So, he hangs up and calls the bank and puts in a claim. Big corporations buy smaller ones in these silent acquisitions and decide take advantage of their local clients.

I've been taking guitar lessons here for ~4 months now, which is oftentimes the highlight of my…read moreweek. I genuinely look forward to my weekly lesson with Austin because of his ability to balance structured, meaningful learnings with fun. The space itself is really neat and gets you in the right headspace to make/create music. The Sound Room's curriculum is great, because unlike many other lessons/schools, there is a well-defined progression for advancing from one level to the next--which gives students something concrete to strive for. Austin truly puts students in the driver's seat by having them define their goals, and revisiting them almost each class to ensure that the time together is being spent wisely. As an intermediate player myself, his ability to amp up and dive into complex topics--but also throttle it back when my brain hurts from the new concepts, is greatly appreciated. The building itself is easily accessible and parking is plentiful. If you're on the fence at all about lessons, do yourself a favor and take the plunge with The Sound Room!

After over a decade of teaching lessons in Guitar, Piano, Mandolin, Banjo, Songwriting, and Music Theory, owner/operator Austin Barrett decided to put his knowledge down on paper and formulate a curriculum for The Sound Room. Two years in, and it's working! The Sound Room AVL's curriculum takes the student through a series of Levels, each specifically formulated to take a complete beginner toward confidence on their instrument. It works kind of like a karate belt system, and students test into levels once they prove a skill, which unlocks the following level. Prospective students of The Sound Room can sign up for a FREE consultation with one of our teachers directly on the website!
