For a few years now, I had been wanting to either get my viola bow re-haired (if possible) or…read morepurchase a new viola bow - and had called a few music stores around for pricing for a possible re-hair of the bow. Since I have had my viola for quite awhile now, it was a first for me since I only played in school orchestras. Been wanting to get back into just practicing, but then the pandemic happened and I just put this thought off to the side. A few weeks ago, I called up a few of the same stores, where I had gotten quotes a few years ago, and my fav one seemed to have closed down during the pandemic. I found contact information again for J. Brown Violin Maker and called to inquire and to reserve a time to come into the store. Debbie picked up the phone and provided lots of valuable information and I quickly set up a time, as I know from personal experience, always better to set up a reservation. Good thing I did as well, because they were in and out for the month of July and were also busy with school instrument repairs. When I arrived to the shop, I did not know there was a small parking lot up front, so I drove around the building (due to the one-way street on the side) and then parked in a "J. Brown Violin Maker" Reserved parking spot. I was a few minutes early, but knocked on the door to announce my arrival. Good thing I made a reservation as 2 more families (without a reservation) came in after me! The second family after me probably had to wait over an hour since I was just a few minutes into my reserved time and the family after me needed to look into renting a viola. Debbie explained and showed me that my current bow was unable to be re-haired and also showed me a few areas where I could "repair" for better sounds and etc. I opted to get new strings along with a new carbon composite bow. Yes, prices online may be cheaper, but I love supporting local businesses! Since they know that they cannot beat online prices, Debbie did restring my viola for me, and even helped lubricate the viola pegs! I learned a lot that day, especially since I have never had private lessons. For one of the families after me, Debbie even said that they had just made the viola for the student's viola teacher the year before. I love how connected they are to the community and I even asked for recs for a piano tuner. The second family after me seemed to have purchased multiple violins from here as well. The store certainly keeps busy, and I hope that they continue to do so, as one does not usually see many Master Luthiers around anymore.

I'd been wanting to visit this shop for many years, but hadn't done so as I was no longer playing…read more Now that I've picked up the violin again, I decided that it was time to finally see what this magical place is about. I had purchased a very inexpensive violin from Amazon to start, but the sound and feel just isn't right. When setting my appointment, I let Deb know that I'm basically a beginner, but wanted to see instruments that will grow with me. She was super friendly and personable and let me know that she would be ready to show me a variety of instruments that fit my needs and budget. My husband and I came in and it was immediately a very welcoming environment. I was able to try a variety of violins and bows at my leisure. Deb was really helpful throughout the process and it's a very 0-pressure shop. It came down to two beautiful instruments and with my husband and Deb's feedback I was able to select an amazing violin and bow. Jim was busy with another customer for most of our visit, but came right over to talk once he was free. He shared a lot of insights about the instrument I purchased as well as their philosophy. Just a great visit and I wish I had come in sooner! Prices are very reasonable as you will be getting a quality instrument. It's also a one-stop shop as they have anything you can possibly imagine for your stringed instrument. Jim is an expert luthier so I'm glad that I can come back if my instrument ever needs servicing. They also make sure that you know how to care for your instrument before you leave. My advice would be to visit J. Brown before purchasing a violin, viola, or cello elsewhere. I know I'll definitely be visiting them for all of my future needs.

I had a very disappointing experience with this instructor and would not recommend her,…read moreparticularly to adult beginners. From our very first session, she made an unsolicited comment about my appearance, remarking that I looked younger than my age -- which felt inappropriate and unprofessional coming from a teacher. Despite clearly communicating that I was a beginner, she assigned me advanced pieces -- including Bach's Prelude -- and told me I was "too old" to be playing beginner songs. This was not only discouraging but completely disregarded where I actually was in my learning journey. I also reached out to let her know I was going through a period of grief and needed a more supportive, stress-free approach to learning. To top it off, she sent -- and then quickly unsent -- a message implying our lessons wouldn't continue, because her teaching style was "too fast" for me and suggested I find another teacher. Beware: the contract includes a no-refund policy, so getting your money back is not an option once you've paid. A good instructor meets students where they are, adapts to their needs, and treats them with respect regardless of age or pace. Unfortunately, this experience fell far short of those basic standards. ----- Thank you for your response, Vivian. I want to clarify that you were my 2nd instructor, not my 3rd. I also want to be transparent with readers: I had openly communicated that I was going through a period of grief and asked for a gentler approach to learning. I believe that is a reasonable request, not an "over the top" or "childish" one. As a teacher, meeting students with empathy -- especially during difficult times -- is a fundamental part of the role. Assigning advanced pieces to a self-identified beginner, collecting $450 upfront, and then canceling lessons without offering a refund are practices that potential students deserve to know about. I stand by my review. Every word reflects my honest experience. I am genuinely grateful our lessons ended when they did -- it protected both my peace and my hard-earned money. I wish you well, and I hope future students are treated with the respect and compassion they deserve.

This Teacher is definitely the best I've had. She is the 4th piano teacher I have had and she is…read morevery good. I can play four songs now and I basically started from scratch with her. She is very patient with me because I am a slow learner, but she helps me advance very quick. her price is really good compared to other teachers, I very strongly recommend her for lessons if you are planning on learning the piano.

I'm so glad we found Bridge Learning Center! My daughter was struggling to read, she cried every…read moretime we read. Anwar assessed her in our first meeting, he provided a clear plan to help her. My daughter attended twice a week during the summer. She enjoyed going, she no longer cries when we ask her to read and she has gained confidence. Anwar makes learning fun and he is so in tune with what my daughter needs. We will continue tutoring lessons through the school year. I highly recommend Bridge Learning.

I cannot recommend the Bridge Learning Center enough. If I could give them 10 stars, I truly would…read more Initially, I was weary about signing my son up because I met with Kumon and the Huntington Learning Center previously and didn't feel that what either place offered matched up to their very high prices, stringent contracts, and lack of flexibility. Bridge Learning Center offers tutoring in small groups as well as one-on-one sessions Monday-Saturday. I was very impressed by Anwar (the owner) and his genuine love for helping kids reach their potential, his ability to connect with them and make learning fun, and for a GREAT price!! Anwar is not only highly educated and experienced in the education system at all levels, but he's also very familiar with the curriculum taught in the various districts in Rancho Cucamonga. It's a blessing to have the Bridge Learning Center here in the community, and I hope that Anwar is able to open multiple locations to reach and teach as many students as possible.
