They have all the instruments so anything your kiddo likes they can try.

One on one music lessons are available and or join the school band that is tailored to their age group. They play in shows and practice together regularly to form lasting friendships with their band mates. Everyone who works here is fantastic and very musically inclined and knowledgeable. We finally feel like we've found our music home for lessons and all around musical enjoyment. Seen the movie? Yeah, this place is even better. Try it out, you won't be disappointed.

We absolutely loved our time with School of rock. My oldest started in their rookies program when…read morehe was 5 and had a blast. Went up to playing his first show on drums with the band, which they happily named The Snake Skulls! Price can get a little steep, but if you can afford it, it's one of the best places we've been for music lessons. The staff is amazing and welcoming. Kyle was terrific with the kids and would always stop to talk music with me when he could. Jeremy is extremely helpful with anything you need and would answer all my questions about drum tech, even helping us find a good deal on an electric kit for our son to practice on at home. Hopefully one day, we will be able to start lessons here again.

We visited three music stores to find the right piano…read more Craig Smith, Piano Sales Rep, was personable, professional, and informative. He was very good about explaining the different options in both instruments (new vs. used, pianos vs. digital pianos) and payment options (installment plan, purchase cash discount, vs. renting, etc.) He patiently showed us several models, helped guide us (respected our budget!) and followed up with us in an appropriate manner. At no time did I feel pressured to decide or upgrade beyond our comfort level. We ended up emailing follow up questions, and had a nice back and forth communication. Craig even sent us a link comparing the models we were were debating about! Talk about wonderful customer service. We put a small deposit down on the Clavinova (http://usa.yamaha.com/products/musical-instruments/keyboards/digitalpianos/clavinova-concept/) to hold it for a week until we could purchase in full - I couldn't pass up the cash discount! Even the delivery team was excellent: arrived on time, were courteous and set up the piano perfectly. Highly recommend. It was a breeze to work with Meyer Music on all counts, and we have been enjoying our purchase since Spring Break. In fact, our young nieces (6 yrs old and 9 yrs old) couldn't keep their hands off it! They just loved the fun features of playing different orchestra instruments on it. We had a chuckle about that since they have a gorgeous Baby Grand at home, but they are in love with our Clavinova!

Didn't know this place existed!…read more Stopped in on a lark and bought three LPs right off the bat. This place is a dream. It's look and feel harken back to the old days of being able to wander into a record store shop around and flip through several hundred LPs check- out the latest stuff in from both the new and the latest used music. Then you can wander over to the other part of the store and look at the classic toys you grew up with and reminics about how much your Heman collection would be worth. Then snag a Voltron figure for your office shelves! I guess this shows how nerdy I actually am... but I know I will see many of you at this store!

It's been such a pleasure attending her music lessons! She has been a great teacher who not only inspires me to learn piano but also appreciate music. She takes each student's music interest into consideration and personalizes her lesson to fit her students' need. She's caring and passionate about teaching. Her instruction is very clear and easy to follow. The learning environment is relaxing and motivating. I find myself looking forward to the lesson every week. Within the first 2 months under her instruction, I've already learned so much. I truly enjoy taking private lesson with June. Highly recommended!

I've been in the market for a bass guitar for a few months now and have made several visits while…read moretrying to find something I'll really love and want to pick up every day. I'm still an early beginner on bass, but I've been playing acoustic guitar for about 10 years so cut me a little slack The store has a great selection of instruments, which I really appreciated. However, the help I received was a bit inconsistent. At times, it felt like some employees weren't very interested in assisting me, possibly because I'm newer to electric gear. I was hoping for more guidance on what I actually needed, rather than just being pointed toward what was available to sell. That said, Kurt really stood out. He was super helpful, welcoming, and made me feel comfortable plugging in and trying things out even if I didn't sound great That kind of experience goes a long way. I did end up buying a bass and amp from the Kansas City location, and honestly, I don't think I would've made the purchase without Kurt's help. Appreciate it, man.

There were two employees behind the counter in the back room where the microphones are. One was messing with a synthesizer and the other was watching him. At no point did either look in my direction or ask if they could help. The microphone I wanted to look at had a spot in the display case but the mic was gone. Probably not in stock. So I walked out. The employee previously messing with the synthesizer was now behind the counter up front doing something on a computer or register, but there was no customer opposite him. I'll order the mic from another merchant online.

I am so pleased with the great piano teacher match through Shining Light Music. When I called to…read moreinquire about teachers, I communicated that our requirements are stringent: my son is 6 yrs old, and while he likes piano, he doesn't looove piano, so the lessons have to be fun and engaging to encourage his progress. He's had 1.5 years piano instruction, and he doesn't respond well to some of the "too basic" piano book courses we had temporarily explored with a couple past teachers, so it's a challenge to level him up with material and technique that is age appropriate and fun enough but not too basic, nor too complex. And we had limited time availabilty as our schedules are maxed... It's such a blessing that the receptionist recommended Ms. Emily Shelp! Ms. Emily is well qualified; she possesses a Bachelor of Music in Piano Pedagogy from Bob Jones University and has been playing since she was 7 yrs old. Her bio is coming soon to the Shining Light Music teacher page. Best of all, she strikes the right notes - I couldn't resist the pun! - in working on my son's technique and making it fun. She motivates him with weekly fun point-competitions (to earn country stickers in his passport, medals, trophy, etc.) which has resulted in him reminding me that he has to memorize a song for the next lesson..cuz he wants the points! (whoo hoo, he's no longer resistant to practicing!!!!) I feel that she is the right piano teacher for his current level and needs; she employs a cheerful and focused Kindergarten/First Grade encouraging teaching style to keep all the lessons fun and on track, she's able to motivate and consistently award with positive reinforcement, able to redirect him when he gets silly (after all he's been in school all day, then straight to his lesson!) and I appreciate how she is able to teach finer technique in a way that he understands. She would be great for both beginner and advanced students.

A friend of mine (pro-musician) was at BAC in Kansas City getting some work done to his custom trombone. He connected me with them. Everyone there was so knowledgeable and friendly. They took the time to listen to what exactly my son was looking for. They figured out which horn was the best fit for my son. They even customized the trigger in my son's school colors. It was the perfect horn for my son and was reasonably priced. They did great with shipping it up to Cleveland for us. The horn and case was wrapped up nicely and arrived here in great shape. They are on TikTok with cool videos too!

The guy who worked on it didn't know that the only way to tune the instrument was to move the mouthpiece back-and-forth. He didn't know that all Instruments can be tuned. He made the cork into a cone shaped thing with bare metal sticking out the back. All the horns he worked on that were on display have the same problem. Also he messed up the laquer on the neck. Apparently he put it next to something hot and it melted the 60 year old lacquer.
