It did take a few minutes, but all the employees there were interacting with customers, So I waited my turn. I actually managed to get the sales manager to help me out and I got the right gear for my budget. This is the second excellent experience I have had in the last few months. The first time was with Noah helping me select my first e-kit to start learning drums after playing guitar for years.

One of the few things a music store can offer that's better than online is customer service and friendliness, etc. GC REALLY needs to lean into having helpful people that care about helping other musicians otherwise we can just sit at home and click a few buttons instead of feeling unwelcome at a store and made to feel dumb for asking questions about a mistake they had made.

I've been to a few of the events/concerts they've held and can see that the Music Box is unique in that Jim Chambers gives his students stage experience and exposure to the music scene that they wouldn't get elsewhere. Great place!

My children ages 5, 7 and 9 have been taking guitar and ukulele lessons at The Box for a year now…read more This place is funky and fantastic! The owner Jim is totally passionate about music and makes everyone feel completely welcome at the Box, like you are a guest in his home. Stix the Westie dog greets everyone at the door when you enter the orange musical paradise. The parents relax on the sofas while the students take their lessons. Adam teaches the string instruments - he is fun but firm, doesn't let the kids get away with too much but they are still having fun. He was able to get my somewhat shy 5 year old daughter to play her ukulele and sing in front of an audience of about 75 people! My oldest child just finished a week of Rock n Roll summer camp and he LOVED it. He felt like he was a big guy in a rock band. The kids put on performances regularly so they can learn about showmanship and it also builds their confidence. As a mom, it is important to me that the money we spend on music lessons is well spent and at The Box, I believe it is.

This kid go to practice dance lesson, this one go to music lesson and the other go to painting practice. And the mom go to drink a coffee in the studio cafe while waiting for the kid. In fact, the patents can drop off the kid and go shopping. The studio has some music instruments for sale. With internet ordering that is so convenient, not many people want to make a deal through actual music store anymore. I would encourage you visit them and keep the store open. This studio has other edge with the bistro cafe, music lesson, art class, dance lesson to attract more people. It has it way to thrive their business without all egg in one basket. I applause the new concept.

I had always walked past Studio Twenty8 and never actually went inside. Well, I finally decided to…read moreand wasn't at all disappointed in it. The staff were very friendly and welcoming. I looked around, testing different instruments, one of the many things you can do there. They allow you to play tons of them, for example a guitar or piano. I didn't really want to learn how to play an instrument, so as I was walking around strumming a ukulele or playing a piano (terribly, may I add), I was wondering if there was anything that I would want to learn about. Well, a girl who worked there named Shannon had been talking to me and my family about instruments and lessons, and she told us there were art classes that I could take. She even showed us the art studio, which had tons of paintings and pieces of art that the teachers had made, and boy, was I amazed. I made up my mind that I wanted to take art classes. The other people who worked there were friendly as well and the store itself was very clean and I look forward to going back. I would rate it 4 out of 5 stars.

It arrived buzzing and playing like crap with repairs that were never mentioned. There are glue gobbs in various places and seams, high action and chunks missing in the nut. They described it as great playing, amazing, professional setup, etc. The nut issues cause it to buzz when strumming. When I requested a return I was told I would have to pay return shipping per their policy. I understand a policy, but when something arrives in such bad shape they should work to make things right. I will dispute the charge with my financial institution since they refused to make it right after I gave them the chance.

I talked to Larry and he promised not to changed teachers but that didn't last long because my daughter was there for less than a year and she got 5 teachers. I think children need consistency specially when learning to play a instrument because the teacher get to know what needs to be improved, and what part is already learned. However, when there are multiple teachers the child is lost along with the teacher, making it a wasted of time and money!

The school serves student musicians of all ages, children to adults, beginner to advanced. The facility has 9 studio rooms and a large multi-purpose room, as well as a spacious, comfortable waiting area.

Students can learn to play piano, guitar, violin, voice, drums, ukulele, flute, clarinet, saxophone, cello, and viola with talented, friendly instructors who are highly experienced in both teaching and performance. Recitals are offered multiple times per year at no charge for students and their families.

This is the piano studio of Ms. Burchett and is located in Carrollwood Village. She holds a yearly studio recital where you all the students play in front of family and friends. It's nice to see all the students progress as musicians. I believe the focus and concentration required for piano translates into classroom. My daughter is an advanced reader which I attribute to her 2 years of piano lessons.
