I was in search of voice lessons for my 10 year-old daughter and found some reviews for Orpheus…read moremusic academy on Google & Yelp. I took the plunge to try them out and we just haven't turned back. This week my daughter will sing in her second performance with Orpheus- all conducted on zoom during COVID. I think we're going on two years, and have recently added in ukulele lessons. My daughter can sing so amazing esp considering where we started out. And she just keeps making progress. We see Mrs. Megan for voice lessons and wow! She is the real deal. Structured, a little scary bc she is so good & professional. Not sure why I haven't written a review yet, but today they signed me up for a parenting course on zoom that will help me be a better parent and help improve stella's practice time. I love that they are educating me as well as her. If you have a need def check them out, we recommend Megan and Trevor! Thanks Orpheus

My son has been attending Orpheus for 5 years and we love it. My son takes both classical guitar…read moreand cello lessons there. Mr. Jesse is his guitar teacher and Ms. Sara is his cello teacher. Both are gifted musicians and talented teachers. Having two locations also makes it convenient for the summer camps that are offered and also if we need to reschedule and get a makeup lesson at the other location. There are also several recitals throughout the year so my son has really learned the performance aspect of being a musician. My son has ADHD and his teachers are able to engage him throughout the lesson. As someone who is experienced in both adolescent development and pedagogy, Orpheus is, in my opinion, the best music school in central Texas.

I purchased a Fender Uke from this location. I brought it to my local guitar store in town to have…read morethem show me how to use an electric instrument, this is my first one. Imagine my surprise when I found out that the installed Fender tuner didn't work. I called this Guitar Center and they told me to return my uke. Meanwhile, the owner of the store I was in called the Fender company, and was told this uke's installed tuner (and maybe all Fenders, IDK) is designed to only work when it's plugged into an amp. WHAT???? I called my store, they didn't know this very basic fact about FENDERS? Shouldn't they know that? How can someone who works in a guitar store not know the installed tuners don't work on something they sell (unless plugged into an amp)? Additionally, when I purchased this uke, they just handed it to me and went back to their computers, they didn't ask if I needed to know anything about what I just spent hundreds of dollars on. They could have asked me "do you need any help understanding this instrument?" Nope. They just went back to their business. There was no personal service in this store at all. But they sure did want me to positively review them.

My daughter and I came in looking for a case for an acoustic guitar. We interacted with several of…read morethe staff and they were all helpful and great people, but they noticed that the acoustic we had was very large for my daughter and showed us some smaller options. We came in looking for a case, but Rodrigo recommended the South store that had a better selection of smaller acoustics and we bought one the next day. Good call, Rodrigo! She is having a much easier time playing now.

This was one of the most frustrating customer experiences I've had. My credit was not the issue,…read moreyet this company still acted like I was unworthy of basic service and tried to force a $600 deposit on top of monthly rental charges. I had already been a customer for a year, paid every bill on time, paid a deposit at the very beginning of my account with them although my credit was GOOD. Not fair, not poor, GOOD, and still got a nonsense explanation that made it clear they either don't value repeat customers or don't know how to apply their own policies consistently. I walked away and found another company (Blackerby) with far better service, better rates, a $125 deposit, and no credit check. The difference was night and day. This company's deposit policy feels arbitrary, their pricing is excessive, and their treatment of customers is flat-out poor. I would not recommend them to anyone. By the way I paid for an entire year of rental upfront with the other company and still paid less than the $600 deposit fee that Strait Music tried to play in my face with.

I'm writing this review after my son has taken a full year of music lessons and participated in…read morefour music camps. As a musician myself, it was very important to me that my son's first music teacher (and a coach) knew how to engage kids, meet him where he was, and bring out the best in him (easier said than done). Fortunately, everyone we've met at Dolce has been absolutely fantastic. Our family truly feels blessed to have found this place. A special thanks to Brenda and Jack. Thank to you, we're watched our son fall more in love with music.

My 12 year old daughter has been taking violin lessons since she was 6 and we have moved to several…read moredifferent music studios. She says without a doubt that Stephen at Dolce is her favorite instructor of all those she has had. She enjoys her lessons and he is really good at communicating with her. The only thing I would like to see as an improvement is a good way to motivate her to practice. She has joined the Youth Chamber Orchestra at Dolce and that has helped a lot because there are other kids her age that she plays with and she doesn't want to be embarrassed by not knowing her part. Also, having performances to prepare for helps, but I wish they made a bigger deal about the performances approaching and perhaps had some system of accountability for the kids to work for, even if it was just a little prize. P.S. I save 5 star reviews for very few places, so 4 stars from me is pretty dang awesome!!
