This is a very cool music store, adjacent to the music store is a coffee house, in fact they are…read moretogether. The coffee house has a stage with gear and it looks like they are ready to go. A musician just has to plug in and play. Open mic on Tuesdays. They have an array of used guitars and consignment instruments. I played a few guitars and talked with Steve. As I was playing a number of people came in and signed up for lessons. I had a coffee with a shot of espresso for $3.17. Free Wifi here also.

Wanted to buy a ukulele but the baritone ukes they had were missing strings. Two ukes for sale but neither with 4 strings. Huh? Ok then let's put on new strings so I can try and buy. Nope. No uke strings on hand. I can order strings or a new uke, they said. Huh? Never mind. NOTE TO MANAGER-- order some strings and repair the instruments you have for sale in your store.

I can't tell you how pleased I was when I brought my flute to Flying Squirrel for repair. The woman…read more(sorry I did not catch your name) was so competent and knew her way around a flute. She was able to quickly identify the problem, fixed it and proceeded to do a thorough evaluation of my flute, making sure it was in good order all around. To my pleasant surprise, the cost was very reasonable and I left with a flute in perfect working condition. I highly recommend Flying Squirrel Music as the place to go if your flute needs a "tune up", pun intended.

As a newbie drummer I relied heavily on Tom from 2112 and he was super helpful. (Great name for a…read moredrum expert, btw!). I was not sure about learning a new instrument but ended up buying a new kit (Ludwig with Zildjian cymbals : )~ I visited 3 times before buying and never felt pressured. They just wanted to help me make a good choice based on my budget and needs. The service and sales team were great. Selection is amazing including used equipment. Prices are competitive and they have teachers available on site if you need a lesson. Nothing beats hands on experience in my view and you get it fully at 2112. Two months into my drumming and I'm very sure that I made the right decision to purchase my kit here.

Been taking guitar lessons here for a while. My instructor is the owner, Paul Warren. So…read moreobviously I have good things to say about him. But the other instructors on a multitude of instruments including guitar, bass, banjo, drums, piano, voice, fiddle, and others are beyond top notch. The price is the average for any instrument lesson business in the area, currently $95 a month, which gets you 4 thirty minute sessions a month. Here is what I really think makes RMA stand out above the others in the area. If you have a young child wanting to learn guitar, the primary youth instructor is Mary Ann. Her students never fail to amaze me with the skills they have at such a young age, and how fast they progress and improve. For the adults wanting to learn, you can put all of the instructors names in a hat and pull one out and you will not be disappointed in the expertise and quality of instruction you get. And to further separate the RMA from others in the area, each month there is a student show for those students who want to play live and show what they have learned and gain the experience of performing live in front of a crowd. And if you want some icing on the cake that you truly can not find at any other local place, the RMA regularly brings in musical legends such as Jennifer Battan, Doyle Dykes, John Pettrucci, Greg Howe, Vinnie Moore, Bumblefoot, Paul Gilbert, and Andy Wood. Read those names again and find me another musical instrument lesson business in the area that brings such people in and provide their students an opportunity to learn from them and watch them perform. You can't do it.

The Raleigh Music Academy is a well established business that provides music lessons, clinics,…read moreperformances, and workshops. The staff is the most professional and talented in town, and the opportunities to enhance your music skills are great. I think they are the only school in town that has a student show or recital every single month. You can usually play for friends and family without going on a waiting list - usually whenever you are ready. You can play with other students (like a band), alone, or just with your instructor. The shows are popular so get there early for a good seat!
