Center Stage in Massapequa and drum instructor Chris Savarino have been instrumental in reigniting…read moremy middle school son's love--and I dare say, talent--for music. My son had played piano since he was five, but he completely quit after growing disheartened by a lack of inspiration and empathy from his previous piano teacher in Brooklyn. He tentatively agreed to try drums, and now he absolutely LOVES it. He literally runs from the bus to his lesson each week. Chris has not only taught him the fundamentals but has also encouraged him to bring his favorite music into their sessions. Chris is caring, patient, and a musical force himself. I love sneaking in to observe the two of them at work--it's pure joy to witness. We are so grateful.

This place is the best. The friendly knowledgeable atmosphere is top notch…read more After having trouble with my guitar and bringing to a different shop(which I won't name). The guitar tech at other shop kept trying to fix the electronics in my guitar, It kept failing. 3 different times I brought it into the other shop, and each time the tech there said it was something different. So after the 4th time, something went wrong with the electronics, and $150 later, I decided to find another shop. Enter Centerstage Music. I met Greg. he was friendly and helpful. He took the guitar apart right in front of me and said let check out the wiring, it might not need anything(He was trying to save me money on electronics, instead of trying to sell them me). I stopped him and explained after getting the run around from the other guy I just wanted to replace the electronics just so I didn't have to worry about them, plus it was an upgrade. He understood. In less than 18 hours he texted me it was ready to pick up. It was priced more than fair. He had me plug into one of the many cabinets that he had available and made sure I was happy with the voicing of the pickups. Let me tell you this thing sounds amazing. Not only are will they work on your gear, but they are mainly a rehearsal space and recording studio. I'm, not the typical guy who writes reviews ever(I wouldn't waste my time writing a negative one about the last place), I don't why, I just felt the need to write this one. I'm glad I took 5 minutes out of my day to do so. Thanks, Greg. Happy Jackson Guitar owner.

I don't need the latest and greatest..I need tools that work,,and at the right price. Every now and then I might need something fixed or modified, they do that ,too..and all at a reasonable price. In a world of big box stores...where the guy at the counter knows less than you,... Center Stage is refreshing. Though the place is a little small, it is packed to the ceiling with inventory. If you are unsure if he has it..just call. Highly recommended for people who know their stuff, ............if you want Big Smiles from people who don't play gigs go elsewhere.

More than anything else, she has fun - she always comes home with a smile ready to tell us who she saw and what she worked on. It's one of her favorite places to go.

They did an incredible job pivoting in and out of remote. Thank you School of Rock!

The school prepares students to take the prestigious "ABRSM" exam, which stands for "The Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music" the exam can test you in theory, written, aural, and practical. I heard the exams are pretty intense, so if you can pass it, you're one step closer to playing with the New York Philharmonic. They are a wonderful bunch of people.
