Disappointed because there was not much of a selection of vinyl for the bands we were looking for…read more No metal/hard rock. There were more cds than vinyl. Not sure it was worth the trip.

just bought a Stratocaster from the PHIILY store. Great place. The store has humidifiers…read moreeverywhere. The sales person took the time to reeducate me on Fender's new Stratocaster line-up. The Luithier took the time to set up the guitar. Re-adjusting the truss, reset the trem aand put on the gauge strings I used On it. They even have a "points system" that my next purchase I will have a credit to use! Can't say nothing but great things about this place!

Russo Music is an incredible independent music store and as the independent music stores seem less…read moreand less, it is refreshing to see one that not only is still in existence, but offers some top of the line guitars. I would definitely recommend this particular music store. It is good to see an independent music store and even more so when that music store has some incredible top quality instruments.

I was looking around for entertainment for my sons 1st birthday party. What do you do for a 1 year…read moreold...? Well, I am SO HAPPY that we had Music Lessons With Amy. Mrs. Amy was amazing with the kids. She played the piano, brought instruments, a parachute, music...everything you could need for 1 - 7 year olds. The kids were entertained and having a ball. We also had Mr. Tom play the guitar. He was AWESOME! Every parent stresses over their child's first birthday party... Well, STRESS NO MORE! This was the best decision I made for my sons big day. I am looking forward to having them next year as well!

He is an insanely talented musician who seems to genuinely love what he does for the customer and for the love of playing every day. Unfortunately stopped lessons after a while due to simply not having enough time but still bring them my guitars/bass to setup and switch out the strings. Lucien and Sherry are great and any opportunity to get a lesson here I would take!

I am updating my review, 3 years later. My son is thriving at SOR, Red Bank! They recently had…read moresome changes to staff leadership, and while I was wary at first, this group is proving to be strong thus far - very caring about the individual students and based on practices, the group programs appear to have gotten better and more creative. The instructors here are very good, and they have great connections with local venues... so if you're in a group program, you can see your daughter or son on stage at local bars/restaurants where professional acts perform. I can't wait to get my 4 year old involved next year. Will update review again after we see the next group performance, to observe how the program has evolved.

My son has been attending the Red Bank School of Rock for over a year. It has been a wonderful…read moreexperience for both myself and my son. He does both lessons and the performance program. My son had some classic piano training, but had little experience with Rock songs. Just over a year later he has learned to play dozens of classic rock, punk, and grunge songs, played 4 concerts on keyboards. He was inspired to pick up the bass guitar and played 2 concerts, and wants to learn 6 string guitar. In short, I am impressed with Billy at SoR and his excellent instructors. They really care about the music and the kids. The SoR is a nurturing and safe place that allows a new generation to appreciate great music just like I did when I was a teenager.

Highly recommend. Studio is top notch. John is also my go to for all my guitar luthier needs.read more
