I really love this shop. It is all the history of the valleys music in one small spot. However, the…read moreparking is terrible for the whole shopping center, and while the hours of the store are fantastic, they need to get a better organization system for returning instruments that have been worked on. They did fantastic work on my guitar and for a good price, but I had to go three times after my guitar had been fixed, and even then they could not find the receipt to give me information on how much it was (even though I had my copy of the receipt), and at least once they refused to return my guitar, even though I could see it behind the counter only because they could not find the receipt. I wish nothing but the best for the store and I will definitely be back because of its fantastic service for instruments and lessons for music enthusiasts. I just wish they had a better organizational system for the tickets.

Deborah is a fantastic music teacher! I actually took lessons from her when I was a child and now…read moremy son (age 9) has been taking lessons from her once a week for almost two years. So clearly, she has decades of teaching experience. She recommended that we purchase workbooks that have been great for my son to learn new songs from as his skills improve. Deborah has also been very encouraging when my son wants to create his own songs or learn a song that is special to him outside of the workbooks. She charges a very reasonable amount and is easy to pay. I highly recommend taking lessons with Deborah!

I found Leonard in my Yelp search for a piano teacher, so it's only fair that I give back to the…read moreYelp community and let everyone know that his five star rating is very well deserved. I've been going to Leonard twice a week for the past few months, and my progress in piano is a clear reflection of the great instruction I've received. I've not only learned to play music through sight reading (and practice, of course), but Leonard teaches me theory along the way. He's incredibly patient, and he makes it clear that his primary concern is that I'm making progress from week to week. It is a very comfortable environment, and despite his obvious talent and experience in music, I never feel as though he is condescending with my beginner's skills. I would highly recommend Leonard to anyone seeking music lessons, regardless of his or her current level of expertise.

For a good while I looked for a place where my daughter could take singing classes. I asked around…read moreand a musician friend of mine recommended this place, so I researched a little about Los Cenzontles and almost instantly I knew my daughter would be happy attending this place. We went in there asked about their classes, signed her up and gave it a try. After the class I ask my daughter if she liked it and she said she loved it. (That's all I needed to hear). Even when the academy is a little far for us living in Vallejo, I don't really mind the 15-20 minutes drive. My daughter is happy, the price is pretty affordable and it seems like the people working there really enjoy what they do, so what else could I ask for. Would I recommend this place!!??? YES I totally would!!
