The store is packed with any genre of sheet music and books (and TAB form) for every instrument you can imagine (banjo, dulcimer, mandolin, vocals, guitar, piano, brass instruments, woodwinds, etc all of them). They sell accessories such as guitar strings, tuners, straps, picks, music stands, and some acoustic guitars and banjos as well. Vinyl records and small musical gifts line the walls, it's so fun to explore and each time you visit you'll find something new, as there's so much selection. If there is something they don't have in stock, they will order it for you. The vibe is very relaxed and they are never pushy, you can look around for 30 min alone exploring if you want and just ask if you need anything. Love this place and can't recommend it enough, it's also a vintage store with history dating back to the 1950's so it has such cute charm and decor, it's an experience that online shopping can't give. I now purchase all my sheet music and guitar accessories from Central Music, support local!

We were in and out of the shop in 20 minutes. The salesperson helping us was knowledgeable and friendly and we were able to find the accessories we needed as well (shoulder rest sponge and rosin). She's been playing it for 3 months with no issues and it doesn't go out of tune quickly like her cheap one. Billing is automatic and easy, with no mistakes. Such a great experience - we'll definitely be back when it's time to upgrade to the next one!

Bill Keis Piano Lessons

Although I played piano a little when I was a child, I always told myself that "someday I will take…read morelessons again." Well, my "someday" occurred a little over two years ago and I was referred to Bill Keis by a piano tuner who played magnificently. Bill was actually this guy's teacher. (I had previously tried another teacher at a local music store who absolutely frustrated me. That guy was more interested in me listening to how great he played than teaching me. It almost made me quit keyboards altogether.) Fast forward to today. I am now reading music, improvising, playing jazz, blues, a touch of classical, and understanding much more about rhythm, harmony and melody. Bill is an experienced musician who actively plays live gigs, as well as an accomplished and sought-after arranger, composer and recording artist. Chick Correa? Jay Leno Show? Chico? Wow. He is the real deal. I can't recommend him enough as a teacher. I have weekly lessons at his studio, assuming my busy work schedule allows for it. It has proven to be a wonderful outlet for me. In addition, his book, The Complete Guide To Learning Music, is great for beginners, intermediate and advanced musicians as well. He has also authored a bunch of e-books for learning. I was not asked to provide this review, but am doing so in an effort to share my enthusiasm for Bill as a teacher. He is patient and can even work with a stubborn attorney like me!

My child and I attended the trial class for the K-Pop Music program featuring K-Pop Demon Hunters,…read moreand while we truly appreciate the creativity behind offering a class inspired by K-Pop and love seeing how popular the genre has become with younger students, I wanted to share some honest feedback. Although the theme and the advertisement of K-Pop is great, the class itself did not include any actual Korean elements. The "K" in K-Pop stands for Korean, yet the song sheets handed out were entirely in English, and students were specifically instructed to sing only the English versions and not the Korean lyrics. This makes the class feel misaligned with what K-Pop actually is, and in that sense, calling it a K-Pop class feels like unintentional false advertising. I feel advertising it as a vocal class featuring hit songs from the movie K-Pop Demon Hunters (English Version) would be better than calling it a "K-Pop Class." To give one example, I overheard a student telling her mom afterward that all the Korean parts had been replaced with English words and she excitedly said she now "knows Korean," which highlights the confusion this can create. We genuinely appreciate the effort to bring modern music into the curriculum, and we think a class inspired by K-Pop could be wonderful with some adjustments. We simply wanted to share this feedback in case it helps refine the program. Thank you for taking the time to read this, and we wish you the best with your classes.

I initially reached out to Desert Ridge Music Academy via email & they responded the same day!

Clearly a talented, renowned pianist, but also a really great teacher! She's patient with my daughter while still being consistent & continually finding ways to reach her on her level. I really appreciate her effort, which is totally paying off! It's amazing to see my now 4 & a half year old reading basic notes, playing "Mary Had A Little Lamb" on our grand piano & even toy pianos, and being excited to continue to learn!

An adult male guitar instructor at the Gilbert location read an article called "Are Guitarists Good in Bed?" to my 13 year old daughter who was taking private guitar lessons for the past 4 months. The instructor admitted to reading the article and was temporarily suspended but did keep his job, and has been offered professional development as a consequence. The manager of the Gilbert location and the owner (who also owns the site in Scottsdale) said they believed the instructor who said he was sorry and that he read this article as a joke, but had no bad intent. Management's solutions were to implement professional development for all staff (great for staff and future kids) and keep this instructor as a vital member to their business (great for his career). I am told he teaches 20+ kids up to 4 days a week and "deserves a second chance". We were told we could pick a new instructor, pick a different day, call to make sure he wasn't staffing whatever she wants to participate in, and if she really wanted to attend something he was staffing that they'd move him if they could, or attend the Scottsdale site. All of these solutions put the burden on the victim when the consequences should be placed on the adult who made the decision. When I offered these as solutions for the instructor to bear it was repeatedly rejected. When I inquired about the steps that were taken during his suspension and how they cleared him to return to work, I was accused of "going on a witch hunt" by the owner instead of being informed on their process and efforts to restore my broken trust and that of my daughter. I believe this instructor should have been fired on the spot for his behavior, and at the very least if he were to remain employed, that he would bear the brunt of the changes needed to care for the intent as perceived by the child who was brave enough to speak up before things got dangerous despite knowing it meant she could lose the opportunity to join the performance group with her piers. Which it has because our final two lessons were refunded.

Phoenix Children's Chorus

This is an excellent music education AND performance program for kids, especially if their school…read moredoesn't offer a choir program, or they are homeschooled. We're new to the 'Presto'/elementary chorus this year and it's been a very good experience for my daughter. Their overnight camp was fun and also gave her experience being away from home. Rehearsals are serious, and the instructors are very strict. They have limited time to get these kids into performing shape (and they do perform at a high level). Attendance is required at all rehearsals and events, and you can only miss 2 before there are "discussions" about whether this is the right activity for your child. It has to be the primary activity for your kid - ie if there are any conflicts, PCC should "win". Kids are expected to practice at home 10-20 min per day and memorize their music by a few weeks before the concert performance. It's definitely real music study. But SO worth it, in my opinion. I listened at the door to the kids singing Happy Birthday to another member of the choir and it was STUNNING. I had no idea kids could sing that well! They operate on a semester basis, from August - December and Jan - May, with a couple of major performances and a few smaller ones at sporting events or other local events. It is not cheap - fees, uniform costs, and event tickets add up, but it is a non-profit so you can be assured the money is going to a good cause. Financial aid is also available. Highly recommend if your kid is into singing and wants to learn how to perform.

If you find it's hard to get your child to practice music at home, you'll also know how nearly impossible it is when traveling. In the past I have contacted music schools, rented instruments, and even bought a keyboard and hardcase. Each of these solutions created its own problem from the school that said we could use any open practice room only to be barged in on by a very pissed off nine-year old who insisted we were using "her" piano, to having to returned to a music store for parts missing from the keyboard we rented, to having to pay a hefty additional fee to the airline for the oversized instrument case. By good fortune I found Dodge Music when planning our trip to Phoenix. Miciah made it easy to arrange and pay for practice space but the best part was the studio itself, a nicely furnished and impeccably clean room with a well-tuned baby grand. Sure beat the shoebox sized and airless practice rooms that we had to put up with in the past using console pianos that were on their last leg. Miciah was friendly, obliging but never intrusive and let my son get on with his practice as soon as we stepped in. An added bonus was Miciah's dog Gizmo, a very gentle, short-hair dog who would hang out with us. My son is very allergic to animal dander but both the house and Gizmo were almost antiseptically clean (compare my house anyway). My son didn't have any problems with his allergies and Gizmo was a welcomed lesson companion. Even though my son wasn't taking lessons from Miciah, I can say with confidence that his studio exude a relaxed atmosphere where one can readily focus on lessons. Thanks a lot, Miciah and you too, Gizmo!
