Taking up bass now, and my trip to the ABQ GC store was a good omen! Thank you to everyone at the store!

I go into this store once a week for my lesson. The store is stocked with all sorts of musical supplies, books, and instruments. The store is always clean and the staff and owner have always been nothing but friendly. There have been times where my instrument needed some adjustments, and Miles has been right on whatever issue I may be having. Over the last year, they've made some expansions, especially in the service department. I've even bought two instruments from them, and I've sold back one instrument. I'm even grateful for the few restrooms that they have. They are always clean. It's a great store!

As her student, you work! She has developed vocal exercises that challenge breathing and sustaining notes, give my vocal chords a workout, and make me a better and more confident singer. And it isn't just me. I have seen other singers blossom. Private lessons are sprinkled with laughter and her performance classes are a treat. She fosters an environment of honest support among singers of all ability. It is exciting to watch others grow into happy self-assured singers. As a student I have developed the confidence to sing along at office birthday celebrations, and occasional public karaoke venues. I think maybe Cathleen gets as much pleasure out of teaching and seeing her students blossom as I do learning. I am happy with the investment in my joy through singing with Cathleen. Her rates are a bargain given her training, talent, and skillful teaching. If you want to learn to sing, she is the best option for in-person or Skype classes.

You won't hear many parents make these kinds of statements, but I'm willing to go out on a limb, here, and say that while she's not a Prodigy, perhaps, she's far more capable than, say, your kid. It's not like we had her tested, or something, we're just objective observers, sitting at the same recitals you are, looking at the crop of 'em, listening to their pathetic attempts to make their cellos sing. It's pretty obvious, isn't it? All of her teachers say it, too. She's exceptional. So you can trust this review. Our exceptional kid has enjoyed her experience at this school, and we're glad they're grooming her for Julliard. The building made some ventilation updates during the second half of 2020 to mellow our COVID concerns, too. Our main issue is the billing process. We pay a fixed, monthly charge for instruction, yet for any number of reasons, during any month, her class time can be cut in half -- think school break periods, holidays, that sort of thing. It's super inconsistent. Paying per class is simply a smarter way to go. We like smarter. We raised it.
