Hands down, best music school in town…read more My (young adult) child had been talking about learning drums for a while, but felt he was too old to begin. I let him know it's never too late to learn a musical instrument and talked him into trying a lesson at a couple of different music schools. Both were okay, but he just wasn't feeling it and didn't want to continue. I found Rok Music Academy and talked him into giving it one more try. He walked out of his first lesson with Ronnie absolutely thrilled. I believe his words were, "That was fun!" Ronnie was very friendly and personable and made my son feel comfortable. He really listened to my kid share what kinds of music he wanted to learn and Ronnie custom designed lessons just for him. My son has remained engaged for more than a year and looks forward to his lesson. He always tells me what songs he is learning and how encouraging Ronnie has been. We love the owner, Stephanie, and the price for the lessons is completely reasonable. I'm so thankful I didn't give up on finding a music school just right for him.

The people all seemed to be in a good mood and were very helpful. I brought my guitar the first few times and realized I really didn't need to. They are provided if you like. I was a little hesitant to try the loaners at first thinking they must be really poor quality. Turns out they are more than okay for me so I was pleasantly surprised! I would be remiss if I didn't mention my instructor, Summer. She always seems to be in a great mood and continually keeps me motivated by providing positive feedback. Bottom line, if you're thinking of learning a musical instrument head on down! I'm sure this is the place for you.

Outstanding service!! Dan is the BEST!…read more Our son plays the trombone and a piece broke. We called several specialty shops and several indicated that they would have to send it off to a specialist and that it would take over a week to diagnose and repair. It was very disappointing because we needed the instrument to be working for the school week. Fortunately we spoke to Dan over the phone and unlike the others he said it is a simple fix. Sure enough we went in and he fixed it in minutes. He is truly an expert and provides the kind of old school small business service that is hard to find in the world these days. Unlike the other music shops, that were giving very expensive estimates and one to two week estimates, Dan helped us immediately and was a true professional. 10 out of 10. Thank you so much for your help. Highly recommend this small business for all of your music needs. Knowledgeable and honest. Ask for Dan!!

I visited their repair shop with an alto sax a few months ago, and was treated with speedy, affordable on-the-spot service for a few simple repairs. As others have mentioned, they even checked for leaks and fixed things above and beyond what I went in for in the first place. I'll definitely return again the next time I'm in need. They also have a vast selection of reeds, mouthpieces, instruments and accessories available to purchase. But the real treasures are the owners, Rusty and Georgia. I went with my son in search of an alto sax mouthpiece -- not only did they have an amazing selection from which to choose, but Rusty lent his years of experience to help my son find the one that was the perfect fit for him. That kind of personal service is hard to find these days, and we are very grateful. I have no doubt we'll be back again some day soon!

I am an adult guitar student and I went through 2 other guitar teachers before I tried the LB Music…read moreSchool. I liked my other teachers but they either moved too fast or weren't able to teach the techniques, songs, or styles that I wanted to learn. I'm learning finger style guitar and my teacher is Clint. Aside from being a really cool guy, he's an accomplished musician, patient, and willing to spend some time familiarizing himself with the songs and artists I enjoy. If you enroll in lessons, you'll no doubt meet Noah, who is the administrative staff. He's friendly and reliable, if you ever need to contact him to cancel or reschedule a lesson. As a child, I took drum lessons for 10 years and enjoyed that feeling of developing a skill. I have this same feeling again, thanks to the school. If you are considering enrolling in the school, have a brief conversation with Noah, so that he can hook you up with the teacher who will best meet your needs (style, scheduling, etc.). When you have your first lesson, have a similar conversation with your teacher to make sure he/she is aware of your goals, the pace at which you want to learn, type of music, and your expectations. I believe you will have a great experience at this school!

I came across an ad for a free handpan lesson. I was so excited because handpan music has been so…read morecalming and that's all I've been listening to lately. It was such an amazing experience. We were lucky and got to experience Liron Man play for us since he was here for a music convention. He's been playing for 20 years and you can definitely feel how much heart he puts into his music. It is Dave's shop and he was very sweet. He actually makes the hand pans which is very cool. Daniel was our instructor and he was very engaging and funny. I loved his energy. He told us about the different types of handpans and went over the rhythm, melody, harmony, and silence. Daniel was kind and went around the room to individually help everyone. I'm so glad I got to try it out. I'll definitely be coming back as it's $75 for an hour lesson. It's also $150 a month to rent out a handpan which also goes toward the payment for if you decide to buy.

After a quick introduction, the story, and the lesson, I realized I indeed wanted one... just a matter of when. The lesson here was amazing. I didn't leave playing a full-fledged song (I'm a first-timer), but I left with knowledge, motivation, and a thirst for more. There was no pressure to buy any instruments or to sign up for any products. The only difficult part was finding parking. The plaza is U-shaped, with businesses along the U but not much parking around for customers. Some cars were parked in unofficial spots, so I would recommend planning for parking during your visit.

I was checking out a couple of music studios in the area for my then 8-year-old daughter to study…read morevoice & piano and came to visit here. Upon arrival for our appointment, there was no one to greet us as the entire place was empty. I thought it very strange that the door was left unlock - anyone could've cleaned out the place. After sitting in the waiting area for 30 mins (I don't know why I even bothered waiting that long), I finally decided to email back the contact I had been corresponding with (as they never left me a phone number to call nor did they ask for mine; I had no idea who I was corresponding with as they never addressed himself/herself). Additionally, I decided to text the number listed on the business' Yelp page as it looked like a mobile number, hoping it will get to the same individual. They eventually texted me back they were running late (50 mins after the appointment time) and to help myself to coffee in the conference room. A gentleman comes in another 10 mins later, apologizing that the manager got sick and sent him to meet me in her place. He escorted us to the conference room to go over the program and the classes they offered. To no fault of his own, I can see he was trying his best to sell the school but at that point, I was already turned off and found the whole establishment unprofessional. Even my daughter said she preferred a different studio than this one. I'm sure they have great instructors/staff but they really need to work on improving the administrative/customer service aspect as that is the first impression of all potential clients/students. He mentioned there was a registration fee, but after the appointment debacle, you would think they would've considered waiving it. Additionally, if the manager was going to be late, the only decent thing to do was to notify me. This is a good example of why you need to scout/visit different places before just settling on one as reviews can often be skewed.

The only reason I'm giving 2 stars is because my kids love their music teacher. She is great and…read morevery knowledgeable, however the person that you have to communicate with in the office is not professional. I contacted them Sunday night, and no one got back to me. I called them finally on Tuesday and she said she got my message and was "getting to it", then they said my child just had to miss her lesson for that week when we have already paid for 16 weeks. Also, if your school has a break or holiday, don't expect to receive all of the lessons you've already paid for, they just skip those and don't give makeups for them. Futhermore, they do not let you communicate with the instructor directly at all. I was trying to text our instructor to let her know what days we're available and the person from the office said No, I do the instructor's schedule you don't need to contact them. I think the price is pretty good for in home lessons though. My issues are not with the instructor at all she is lovely and knows all types of instruments.

Of course, because I was feeding goats & sheep at Barnyard Buddies…read more For $6 admission (at the time)(Groupon deals, as well), visitors to Barnyard Buddies can feed goats & sheep, and pet various animals. Buying a medium sized container of feed was more than enough, IMHO. Visitors are required to feed only the goats & sheep from the other side of the enclosure. Without feed, visitors can enter the closure & pet/brush the animals. Besides the goats & sheep, there are 2 pigs, chickens, and in a separate enclosure, emus & a cow. No access allowed to those, however. Pony rides are an option for little kids. The ride is around an oval track. There is also a playground area to burn up some energy. A few handwashing stations on premises to stay hygienic during your visit. Barnyard Buddies is an accessible nearby barnyard experience. I was lucky enough to grow up around chickens, so I'm not new to livestock. It's my firm belief kids should be around animals, and know where their food comes from, whether it be eggs, milk and/or meat. While not a place I'd recommend traveling large distances to visit, for those nearby or whom happen to be in the area, Barnyard Buddies is a wonderful opportunity to feed enthusiastically hungry goats & sheep, and brush plump piggies. Highly recommend!
