There were two boxes left on the shelf, and instead of grabbing the one in the front, he reached behind it and pulled the one from the back. At the time it didn't seem like a big deal, but once we got back and opened it, everything made sense. The unit clearly wasn't new. There was Velcro on the bottom like it had been mounted in someone else's setup, and the cords and plugs had writing on them. It looked used right out of the box, and on top of that, it didn't even work. Luckily, the mixer we already had held us over for the night, so it didn't completely throw everything off. We brought it back, explained the situation, and got a refund without any hassle. Not the worst experience since they made it right, but definitely frustrating. If you're going here for something specific, double check the box before you leave.

I was purchasing a gift and needed assistance for where it would be. An associate redirected me exactly to the room I needed to go to even though they were on the register, checking people out and his line was long. Once I got to the correct section, Jared then helped me, I specifically told him what I was looking for and he came back with different color options that I didn't even know was an option. I'm super glad he did because I ended up going with a black base and gold trim for the DJ set I bought instead of just the generic all black, which is all I thought it came as. He explained what came with my item, and the different accessories I could purchase to help complete my gift. He was patient with my questions and very knowledgeable and went a step above to bring me different color ways of the DJ said I asked for.!

I took my son here originally for drum lessons and he had a great time with his teacher. I came…read moreback after that for a vocal lesson and scheduled my son another drum lesson. It was at this point the owner started trying to force a month to month contract on me after 1 lesson. I explained that my son's grandfather is very sick with stage 4 pancreatic cancer and that we can't guarantee we will be in town every week since we have been visiting him more ( almost weekly ). The owner seemed unsympathetic to this and continued to debate and argue about getting his contract signed. After that, I considered not coming back because I didn't want to give this man any more of my money, however I had really enjoyed my 1 vocal lesson and my son also enjoyed his drum lesson, so I asked if I could pay for another vocal lesson in advance to which he begrudgingly agreed. I explained to him that I would be happy to pay for our lessons a week in advance when we knew we were going to be in town. However that wasn't good enough for him and he insisted on locking me in a monthly contract, and that I would have to next time I came. My son's second drum lesson was great ( yesterday ) and I had my 3rd vocal lesson today which was lovely. Unfortunately, when I came around the corner to the front desk, the owner was waiting for me with a posture and look on his face that said he was ready to argue. Great way to greet a customer upon seeing them. He immediately asked me what I had decided about his contract, to which I declined to sign it and offered to pay for another vocal lesson a week in advance since I know I will be in town next week. He debated me again and said that I couldn't do that and tried to argue that rules are rules, which is just silly in this case. Most of his arguments were based around people in the past not showing up for lessons and them losing money since they would have teachers there still getting paid. However, if someone is paying you a week in advance for an upcoming lesson, you're guaranteed that person is going to show or at least to have their money for the lesson already. In the end though, it is his business and he can make up whatever obscure and silly rules he wants. Just know, that after your 1st lesson they're going to try and force a month to month contract on you and make you lock in a time for every week. Personally, I'll be taking my business and my money elsewhere.

I took it back a couple days later (8/3/23) with the original tags on it and asked to exchange it. The two girls at the counter said to find another shirt with the exact same price. I found another shirt but it was $1.00 more. I told them I would pay the difference and they both told me absolutely not. The new shirt MUST be the exact same price Note that there were many other shoppers in the store but these two girls behind the counter, refused to come out from behind the counter and assist and assist anyone in the store. Their personal conversations from behind the counter were more important than assisting store customers. I ended up leaving with my original new shirt that was too small. Lesson learned - expect terrible service if two girls are working behind the counter and get a receipt. I do not recommend shopping there unless you enjoy absolutely terrible service.

After attending in person sessions for over a month I was able to change my schedule slightly. Even during this time when my schedule was crazy she allowed me to do my lessons virtually. As an adult I cannot tell you how beneficial this is to have someone work with your crazy schedule. I was able to successfully change my lessons to biweekly in a virtual setting.

We have been charged every month for absolutely nothing and they completely refused to make any adjustments to contracts even though the pandemic ended in-person singing lesson immediately. To be clear, their shift to "online singing lessons" without any choice was a complete rip-off. Online singing lessons are not the same thing as what we signed up for. The business is not the "family business" they claim it to be...they are actually founded on deceptive bait and switch tactics and shady contract dealings. Again: DO NOT SIGN A CONTRACT WITH FOX MUSIC!!! They don't care about anything except charging your credit card every month. This month we tried to give the required 30-day notice of our intention not to renew (yes...they will auto-renew if you don't tell them not to). We were immediately redirected to some sort of 3rd party number and have yet to get any confirmation that we will not be charged again. Unbelievable. If you're looking for good voice or music lessons, shop around. Avoid Fox Music at all costs. You will regret ever signing a contract with them.
