Vaughan Music Studios likely has the most premiere mixing environment of any facility I've seen. I had the pleasure of touring the music lessons spaces, performance hall, and studio at Vaughan, with Cindy Vaughan, who owns and manages the ins and outs. Her vision for this music school is all-encompassing, backed by years of experience, and equipped with the best gear in the land. Lookout for this place in the future- as it seems likely to become a staple in Columbus' music education and music scene as a whole.

Perhaps it was just a coincidence…read morethat I finally received a return call from them the day after having posted my criticism, but regardless, I've now not only been taking voice lessons from them, but also drum, guitar, and ear training lessons (I do all of these in one spell over a couple of hours each Saturday afternoon), and am completely satisfied by the quality of instruction, the facility itself, and the friendliness of the staff. Columbus is fortunate to be able to claim a resource such as this one.

They sent me a beautiful '81 black Guild D212 12 string and I am completely in love. Much better than they described it - basically in mint condition with the original case. I'm used to dealing with good people whenever I shop at any MGR, and this transaction was no exception. They under sold the guitar and they under promised but boy did they deliver. Fantastic price, excellent guitar with a beautiful sound, and as always after the deal was completed I felt like I had been talking to one of my friends. They are that good! A+

To branch out and try to learn a few things with instruments that I have never played. One of those such instruments is the drums. And I am starting relatively from scratch, I've never played drums in my life. I already had found a vintage Ken 1602 wood/rubber practice drum pad that I remembered friends using in the past. It's great. Picked up some sticks online, but Columbus Precussion has a huge selection too if you need some. So, all I was looking for at this point was an instructional book to start me along the way of learning rudiments of rhythms, how to hold sticks properly, and some other basic skills. Things that I can work on on my own as a self-starter musician project. I found just what I needed and more at this great store. It is well-stocked with full drum kits, snares, and other specialty drums. They also have other handheld percussion instruments. Plenty of general drumming supplies, including the instructional books I needed. Once I told the friendly & knowledgeable staff what I was looking for, they were able to narrow down my choices to a couple that suited my needs. They specialize in drums and related supplies, appears to be staffed with actual drummer musicians, so they can really focus on just those needs. It was a great shopping experience.
