    A friend recommended this class and I'm so glad we came! We did the spring class and the second half of it was outside at Wash Park which was really fun. Mr. Hank was really great and always made the class fun. Will definitely be doing this class again next spring!

    Sit down sticks!

    We rented my 4th grader's clarinet from Golden Music this school year for about $42 per month. When…read morewe were given a working hand-me-down clarinet from a friend, we returned the rental and asked Golden Music about having the other clarinet checked over. I was surprised to learn that Golden Music wanted $25 just to look at the instrument and tell me what repairs it might need. Even before a full evaluation, I was told it likely needed between $600 and $800 worth of work, but I would have to pay the $25 fee to find out exactly what was needed. I also asked what it would cost to purchase the rental clarinet we had been using and was quoted $587. At $42 per month, we had already paid approximately $378 in rental fees, so purchasing the instrument would have brought our total cost to nearly $1,000 for a student clarinet, even with the "buy it now" discount. I was also told that if we stopped renting over the summer, we would lose any credit toward purchasing the instrument, which felt unnecessarily pressure-filled. Something about the experience didn't sit right with me, so I decided to get a second opinion. I called around and took the clarinet to Flesher-Hinton Music in Wheat Ridge. They looked at it for free and told me that not all of the corks and pads needed to be replaced. Instead, they recommended a cleaning and replacing one cork joint, with a total estimate of $95. The difference between the two assessments was significant. Based on my experience, I strongly encourage parents to get a second opinion before agreeing to major repair work. Flesher-Hinton was knowledgeable, helpful, and transparent about what the instrument actually needed. I won't be returning to Golden Music and would not recommend them based on my experience.

    Absolutely atrocious customer service. When I call Amazon, AT&T or some other multinational I…read moreexpect to get a phone tree and I expect never to speak to a live person. When I call a mom & pop store I don't expect that I am going to be put through hell trying to do something as simple as schedule a music lesson. When, after several days, I was finally able to speak with an employee they were absolutely not helpful. Run don't walk to any other music store in the area.

I started my son Alexander who has a IEP in school and is on the spectrum (special needs) when he was 8years old playing ukelele. He since has continued playing uke and over the past 4 years has been taking lessons for piano to get ready for his next year marching band audition for Cherry Creek High School! He had held a A+in his middle school band all through 6th, 7th, and now 8th grade he's way ahead of his peers in so many areas of music. Fast forward to 2 years ago our oldest son wanted to audition and compete for first chair trumpet in his band class as a junior in high school at cherry creek high school. He felt he maxxed out with where he was at and needed that extra push and tutoring to acheive more. He asked me to sign him up for private trumpet lessons this past summer. Here we are in September of same year and after a summer of private lessons he auditioned and made FIRST CHAIR TRUMPET in his band class and for Cherry Creek Marching Band !!! (Did I mention CCHS ranked #1 for welcome week and in 5A tournament )!!! Wendy&Dale are the best ! All the instructors they hire are top notch and our invested in their students to succeed and not just in music but the why behind music , their self esteem, and technical skills that go along with it. I could t be more blessed to have found this school for my children. I have two other kids that will also play music this year. One more trumpet and one more piano or drums!!! This school has an amazing g new facility that they are in the process of moving into because they grew out of their old one ! They are so humble but I feel like if there is anyone out there that is looking for a true music school who will help their child learn music, love music appreciate music and embrace music this has to be the school they enroll in!!! Thank you CMI for all you have done and continue to do !! Congratulations on your award for National Music School of the Year!!!!!!!!

    So my 2nd review of Rupp's starts out pretty much the same as the first: "I went over to the Guitar…read moreCenter by my house..." to test drive some double bass pedals. I've had the same DW 5000 single chain drive double pedal for literally 30 years, and figured it was time for an upgrade. GC only had like 2 or 3 crappy single pedals out on their display area to try out, and the drum area was devoid of any staff - literally empty, and I couldn't flag anyone down to help me. Out the door I walked, predictably frustrated by the entire Guitar Center experience. Today was a new day, and Rupp's was the destination. I walked in shortly after opening, Alex greeted me, and we immediately got down to the business of talking the pros and cons of different kick pedals. Display models were taken off the shelf for me to try out, longboards were discussed, the ups & downs of Tama vs. DW, and then the ups & downs of the 5000 vs. 9000 series. No BS, no salesmanship, just straight up answering questions and making honest suggestions. "Oh, your kick BPM is stalled out? Are you still using the stock DW beaters? Those things are way too heavy to play fast... have you tried these variable weighted beaters?" Mind blown. After zoning in on an updated set of DW 5000s, he offered to set them up on the practice kit to get a feel for them on an actual kick drum. He set 'em up, walked out, and closed the door to give me ample time to get a feel for the action on my own time, at my own pace. Sold! ...and I wasn't planning on actually buying anything today, but the entire Rupp's experience made my mind up for me. I just got done working through some double kick exercises with my new pedal and beaters, and I feel like I've been in the dark ages playing with stone tools for the last few decades. My speed is up, immediately. My control is up, immediately. All said, I'm a very happy camper. Thanks to Alex for making me a Rupp's believer, yet again.
