The staff is friendly, the shelves are well stocked, and they have a wide variety of music books and materials for piano. Anything they don't have they can order for your or get transferred from another store. It usually arrives within a few days and they are very conscientious about calling to let you know it arrived in the store for pick-up. If there is a specific song you are looking for they will search it online and print it right there in the store for you. They also have many good sales throughout the year. I have recommended the full-size digital pianos to my students and have always been pleased with the quality. Many times you can get full-size digital pianos for $400, which is a great deal for the decent quality. However, keep in mind that the staff works on commission so they will try and sell you the more expensive item. Listen to your music teacher, and get what they recommend, not the sales people. They have material for both ABRSM and NFMC Federated Festival. They are also very supportive of the local music teachers association. On a regular basic they provide hospitality and refreshments for our monthly meetings. Several of my high school students have also worked there over the summer. I like that they are good at hiring temporary summer help. The only thing to be cautious of is renting instruments. I have never rented so I don't have personal experience, but I have heard stories from my students renting instruments for band or orchestra. Make sure you know all the details of the contract you're signing and read all the fine print.

My daughter was Ms. Bernie's ballet student in Spring 2019. After the addition of a family member…read morecaused some financial strain, we were forced to go with a less costly option at another ballet school. Since hindsight always offers perfect 20/20 vision, I greatly regret that decision. Here are the reasons we decided to forgo fully prepaid lessons for the rest of January and return to Suwanee Academy of the Arts so that my daughter can be Ms. Bernie's student again. 1) As a former teacher, I know firsthand that students appreciate far more whether their teacher cares for them, than how much knowledge their teacher knows. Similarly, young dancers care whether a ballet teacher is willing to cherish them for their young untapped potential, more than what a ballet teacher knows about dance techniques. In fact, it is even more evident in my daughter than my college students. Toddlers usually do not hide their true feelings and thoughts. If you are looking for an unbiased, honest review, look no further than my daughter's feelings and thoughts about her time with Ms. Bernie at Suwanee Academy of the Arts (SAA). She wholeheartedly loves Ms. Bernie and looks forward to lessons every week. Another sign that Ms. Bernie has naturally captivated the hearts and minds of her young dancers is that after class, you will witness several young toddler students hugging her voluntarily. This speaks volumes of how much Ms. Bernie's young students cherish her, and how much she cares for them. 2) Ms. Bernie and the philosophy of Suwanee Academy of the Arts "lifts them up and builds their confidence, where they can be challenged, where they find their passion!" Any ballet teacher can teach skills, techniques, and methods, but there are few teachers who aspire to go beyond that to challenge young dancers to find their passion and use ballet to build confidence. Being tall makes it much easier to toss balls into a hoop, but being tall does not mean you can teach teenagers to play basketball well, or play with integrity and dignity. Likewise, degrees from prestigious ballet institutions and accolades by esteemed ballerinas have little value if a teacher cannot impart passion because her passion is severely lacking. I can say without reservation that Ms. Bernie's committed passion has rubbed off on my daughter! She has also built up my daughter's confidence through genuine praise and quality instruction. 3) In Spring 2019, Ms. Bernie organized a fathers only event for dads to accompany their young dancers for a full class session. Beyond actual ballet education, Ms. Bernie truly cares about dads being involved in their young dancer's growth and development. This holistic approach to ballet education (and education in general) is extremely rare these days. Come let your child be a student of Ms. Bernie so you too can understand why she cherishes the involvement of dads so deeply. 4) Little details make a huge difference. Upon returning to SAA after our terrible experience at another school, Ms. Bernie instantly remembered my daughter and gladly welcomed her with loving and open arms. I soon learned that not all schools welcome "new" students the way they do at SAA. At the beginning of my daughter's first lesson after returning, Ms. Bernie placed her hand on my daughter's shoulder when introducing two new students to the class. She also had the class make them feel welcome. Compare this to the literal cold shoulder and the lack of acknowledgement by her teacher at the other school. My daughter and I could have been a fly on the wall there! Another small but yet vital detail is that the front desk staff, Tashia, remembered my name and my daughter's name after the first lesson. As a former teacher myself, I learned that one of the many ways to let your students know you care is to simply remember their names. I imagine that SAA has many students, so it is praiseworthy that Tashia and Ms. Bernie established rapport with my daughter by remembering her name. Yet another small gesture that meant a lot to us was the complimentary welcome gift bag we received upon our return to SAA. A t-shirt, a card with a welcome message, a fridge magnet, a sticker and some candy were inside. Do not assume that every school will be as generous as SAA. At the other "non-profit" school, the t-shirt alone cost more than $20. What qualities should you actually value in a ballet teacher and school? Is it the many awards on the wall that makes a ballet teacher great? Or is it that Ms. Bernie plays an instrumental part in directing the annual Broadway in the Park performance that attracts thousands of attendees from all over the state and is listed as a top search term in Google? Do you go by the cost of tuition? To paraphrase a popular quote: "A mediocre ballet school teaches skills. A good school explains techniques. A superior teacher demonstrates methods. A great teacher like Ms. Bernie inspires!" Why would you settle for less?

We bought our first keyboard/digital piano here in 2014 after over 2 hours of testing different options and speaking with Don and Ben (thank you for your patience as we also didn't know too much English then!). I stopped my piano practice after 5ish years, but I loved coming back for seasonal recitals and looking through their new book selections! A few years later, they helped us decide on a real piano for our home. They worked with our budget and are super knowledgeable. They even did a complementary tuning upon delivery to ensure satisfaction. My younger sister has now moved out of town for college so it has been a year since I last stopped by, but I drove by the other day and felt drawn to leave a review. It has always held a special place in my heart and I hope it continues to bloom. This is a staple Duluth Small business in my book.

Sam called me a couple weeks after my visit to check if I was still interested in some grands I looked at and I told him that I had made a purchase elsewhere. He proceeded to use scare tactics to try to get to buy from him. Once he learned that I had already made the purchase and I asked for him to tune the piano he refused to send his technicians to tune or look at the piano. Not a good business model. You're better off buying a piano elsewhere and if you're forced to work with them, be very wary of their scare tactics. EDIT: After seeing the owner's response to my google review, I have removed an additional star. Anyone reading this review need not read further than the owner's response to see their attitude towards potential customers. Truly a shame as they have a lot of potential.
