We got paired up with Dan Sabatino, who is a phenomenal musician and composer in his own right and a fantastic teacher. He's patient with my son, who has ADHD. At the same time, Dan knows how to push and challenge him to do his best work. He changes up the classes a little bit every week--by bringing in new instruments, or having a jam session, or working on a classical piece then a modern rock track. I highly recommend both Dan and Music Junction.

Some guitar stores sell instruments. Some actually take care of musicians…read more I bought a new guitar from LA Vintage Gear and the experience meant more than just walking out with an instrument. They held it for me, answered every question without ego, let me sit with it for over an hour, and even gave me a discount out of their own pocket because they knew I'm a working musician. They didn't have to do that. A month in, the guitar is unreal. I've spent time with late-30s and early-40s instruments, and what makes those special isn't just age -- it's the response, the dryness, the headroom, the way the notes stay clear when you lean into them. This guitar has that feeling. It's alive. It pushes back. It tells the truth when you play it. What really stands out is the value -- getting something that lives in that golden-era territory without paying absurd vintage prices or dealing with an 80-year-old instrument you're afraid to breathe on. There's a lot of hype around certain big-name shops in LA, especially when it comes to rare vintage pieces. But hype and integrity aren't the same thing. I've walked into places where prices are inflated and the attitude makes you feel like you have to prove yourself. This wasn't that. No condescension. No gatekeeping. Just people who care about tone and about the musicians walking through the door. Good instruments matter. But how you're treated matters just as much. Thank you LA Vintage Gear!

Beware people, these "sweet people" are crooks. I was told…read morewhen signing my daughter up for guitar lessons that I could cancel at any time. My daughter went for 2 months and decided she didn't like it so I contacted Music junction in email on April 30th letting them know that we were canceling. The respond back was you will have 30 more days of lessons since that's the cancellation policy. At this point they have my card on recurring payments and so they went ahead and charged my card. I disputed the charges and contacted them letting them know to stop. They did not because up until a week ago I was still getting texts asking if my daughter will be participation in the recital coming up. Are you kidding me? Do you people not get the point?? Do I need to hire an attorney to be done with you??

She is very friendly and was able to get my kid to learn some of the keys. In fact I went ahead and enrolled myself for few weeks so I could help my kids practice at home. I would definitely recommend this center and Ms Hayley too.

This place ROCKS (pun intended). My son came here for summer camp from August 18 - 22 for the…read moreClassic Rock Rewind. He had an extra week before he started school, and I was looking for a camp to keep him busy while I worked. Honestly, I had heard about the movie starring Jack Black, but had never seriously looked into enrolling my son at the school. I'm so glad they have a location in Burbank. Not only was everyone there professional musicians who also know how to teach, but the hours were great, and my son said the instruction was second to none. You get to choose your instrument (which they supply and have on site), they "rock" between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m., and end the week with a performance of two classic rock songs. My son was on drums, and relished being able to tap his sticks over his head while shouting, "One, Two, Three, let's rock!" before jamming out on percussion. The kids did an amazing job on both songs, and the parents got to see what they had been learning all week. Bonus: after they complete the summer camp, they're eligible to enroll in Rock 101 to deepen their knowledge of their chosen instrument or learn another. I cannot say enough good about this place. We'll definitely be back next year.

After reading some forums online and watching various YouTube videos to see what modulars were all…read moreabout, Big City Music was considered one of the best in the nation. I stopped by on the way home to explore modular synths for the first time, hoping I'd get that "feeling" like this is a perfect fit for me. Thanks to seeing Big City Music here on Yelp, I drove to their address but had trouble finding the building because there were no signs anywhere. From Ventura, it looked like there was an abandoned building at the address listed. So, I called and talked to Roger. He was great to talk to and said they usually ask customers to make an appointment to stop by. Lucky for me they were available at that time and I could stop in. He gave me better directions, since the entrance was actually off Ventura Blvd. Big City Music is unlike any other music store I've been to. It feels like I'm entering a "secret club" where you go enter through back door and walk into a room-sized warehouse full of boxes and supplies everywhere. Roger was glad to see me and introduced himself right away. He then pointed me to the demo room, where there are several large modular synths, some (very nice) keyboards, guitar pedals, vintage gear and a couple people (Stephi and Morgan) ready to help out. I mentioned I was new to modular synths and wanted to mess around a bit to get a feel for what they can do. Stephi cleared off a module and handed me some patch cables to mess around as much as I wanted. I never felt rushed the entire time I was there. At first, I was clueless. Just clueless. I started having doubts immediately. What the F was I doing here? Rather than allowing them to hear my embarrassingly-awful sounds I'd be making, I popped on some headphones and patched on the fly. After a half-hour, I felt comfortable enough to ask Morgan a few questions about the basics. He jumped right in on their massive modular and started patching like a mad scientist, showing me what all the modules can do. I was very impressed with his knowledge and passion. I instantly felt at ease, even though I had very little knowledge of what was going on. The way he explained things were super helpful. Since my first visit, I decided to take the dive into modular and have returned. I bought a Monorocket case, some patch cables and a few modules to get me started. I'll definitely be coming back here to fill up my case over the coming months and ask for a couple more tutorials. I'm very lucky to live so close to this great store and to learn from awesome people. Cheers--
