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.

I have worked with Keren for 5 years and her skill at vocal instruction is unmatched. The amount…read moreof encouragement and positive energy that she brings to her lessons is wonderful. She makes the work fun and enjoyable. I am very shy about singing. Yet, Keren brings the right amount of encouragement with balanced patience to get even the shyest out doing the exercises. Be prepared to work though as Keren is approaching vocal lessons the right way by training the student the right way so that students are developing their vocal instrument for long term sustainable use. She focuses on difficult but important core exercises, warm-ups, and ear training. It is important for her that her students don't develop bad habits and understand that the voice is a muscle that needs to be worked the right way. Overall, I cannot recommend Keren enough. It really is her passion for vocals that makes this a fun way to train. The work is challenging, as it should be, but Keren's passion and positive energy make the training enjoyable and fun. I have to say that I am so thankful for the instruction and I am so much more confident of my voice after the time I've spent with Keren. Thanks!

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.
