Pace Ferro, the owner of Pharaoh Studios, is an awesome producer. His skills are second to none…read more The musician I used from his team is a savant, and a genius. He plays several instruments very well and can take what you give him and give you a great musical product. I have done many songs with him, and he accommodated 4 hour sessions to do each song. Be advised, he is in demand. He is booked two or three months in advance, but he is truly worth it.

It has been a great experience for me, and I highly recommend Noteworthy for music lessons. For parents they work very well with children. I see a lot of happy children there. For young and old, it's great place to learn to play or sing.

If it were possible to rate with no stars, I would have chosen that option…read more Looking to support a local business while I was visiting the area, I visited this store to see if they had anything for an experienced guitar player to buy. After browsing the rather unimpressive stock, I left after a few minutes. Here's where it gets interesting: the owner followed me out of the store and angrily yelled at me from across the street for coming into his store a few minutes before the store opened! Apparently there was a small "closed" sign I missed, yet the lights were on, people were inside, and the door was open, not to mention a sandwich board advertisement for the store set up outside. That's one potential customer lost forever.

I wanted to say how incredibly fantastic Frank and his son Sam have been to me. This establishment…read moreis a combination of music culture, curated instruments, vinyl records and amplifiers from vintage years up for sale, and the expert and educated advice of Frank and his very talented luthier son Sam, who fixed up my Breedlove so it wasn't fret- buzzing. Now it sounds like a top of the line Martin. And to hear the lessons that go on in the back at a maestro's demanding pace. Wow! Five stars.

The Lab is truly my favorite spot since moving to New Haven half a year ago, and I only go to one…read moredance class there per week. The owner, Gerald Lovelace, is, for real, a renaissance man who runs the studio, teaches, and is a tech wiz with all sorts of video and light production. (His photo studio, Lovelace Studios, is a testament to many of his skills outside of dance, check that out, too.) Classes are affordable, insanely fun, incredibly accessible and welcoming (I had danced a lot growing up but never in the style I take at The Lab), and the folks at The Lab are just the nicest, ever. Beginner classes are indeed beginner-friendly, but they're *not* boring!! They also film at the end of every class, which helps me learn where I can improve AND document an incredibly fantastic experience. Filming is optional but I recommend it! I'm just repeating myself but I can not recommend this studio enough. Check out their YouTube page or Instagram if you want to get a good sense of the choreographers/teachers and the styles you'll find here. I could spend a year going on and on about the experience dancing at the Lab. It's an oasis in a desert (where are the other dance studios!? But now I don't even need 'em lol, nothing would beat this spot). Logistical Bits: If you're coming to visit, parking is in the back of the building (I don't do what my phone says and I just turn in from E Main St to High Street, before you hit the Dunkin' Donuts), and the door is a little bit nondescript (imho) so be confident as you walk in, you're in the right place. ;) TLDR The *best* spot, the best people, truly a space buzzing with creative energy - at least every single second I've spent there. Can't wait to keep going!!

I brought in two electric guitars to get work done - one just a basic set up, and the other several upgrades and a set up. Wow, was I impressed. The entire process was smooth and informative. When I discussed the work with Scott prior to dropping the guitars off, I could immediately tell he knew what I was looking for and how to achieve it. Then, as the work began, Scott sent me dozens of text messages with questions and helpful suggestions. He even included a ton of photos showing the expert level of work he was doing on my guitars. He was very transparent! The work he did was exceptional. He is clearly a master at what he does! Glad to have found a local guitar shop and guitar tech that I can trust!

On the off-chance that someone is actually using Yelp to find a recording studio, I'll say that…read moreTapeworks is, in Yelp's own vernacular, "as good as it gets." I've been recording here for 20 years, and have never had a bad experience. Bill Ahearn, their Chief Engineer, is a true professional who takes every script I bring in to the next level -- he always finds a way to add something to the production or improve the performance of the talent. I typically record TV and radio scripts here, but they do a WIDE range of audio projects...everything from recording singers and musicians to providing sound effects for movies and television shows. Highly recommended. You're guaranteed to leave with something that sounds great.
