I had previously purchased a guitar online and was very disappointed with it. (Duh!!) So, I found this place and what I got by going into their store is Dan's knowledge about the guitar and its maker, and how to care for it. Also I can go in and have them adjust it, when needed, and help me with restringing it when one breaks. I now have two guitars, but the one I bought from Grand Central Music & Conservatory (An Alvarez) sounds sooo AMAZING and the price point was very similar to the one i bought online. very reasonable! I am so happy I found them! Thank you Dan & Cathy.

My daughter has grown so much not only musically, but in her confidence. My daughter does not like attention so I was shocked when she was willing to perform on stage. Blythe has given her the skills and confidence to be the best piano player she can be. This music school is great and Lulu has always been nothing but kind to us. I would recommend lessons here.

He called me stupid and said that I have clearly been reading the internet before I could even get to asking him about my dual rec. I even explained I am doing the project amp myself but wanted to see if the reviews were true. They are, this guy clearly has a superiority complex. Still in shock that he treats people that way.

When he ended the call he forgot to hang up and proceeded to call me not nice names. He indicated to someone else I would be paying and he would "probably just write up something".

Justin has been my digital life coach for 18 years, during which he has helped me climb many steep…read morelearning curves in my personal digital life and also in a web-based business that I founded back in 2010. Now he is helping my husband and me plan for smart use of technology in a home we are building. He has helped me through ALL of the tech-related challenges of my life! Justin really is a "digital life coach," a title that once sounded funny to me but now I see is no joke at all. I agree with other reviewers' positive comments, but to me, the best and most important thing about Justin is how he makes me feel. Justin makes me feel safe. He never makes me feel stupid or behind the times - important for a senior like me. When I have a session with Justin, either in person or online, my feelings instantly change from frustration to relief, then to pride when I finally learn the thing. He even welcomes the big-picture questions that I sometimes have, like "Will we never be free of passwords?" "Why is Apple better than PC?" "Where is society GOING with all this technology?" His liberal arts education is a huge plus here, making his mind broad and humanistic enough to appreciate such questions and make positive contributions to my understanding. The annual fee I pay to consult with him whenever I need help is a bargain. I am very grateful to be Justin's longtime client and expect to keep working together for the rest of my life.

At times, we've come to him for short-term solutions, and after he's asked questions, we become better at understanding our own mission.

Perhaps most importantly, he has opened our eyes on how to approach the insane pace of tech innovation. Thank you Justin for always having our back!
