Scheduled a violin lesson for my daughter. it went well gave my credit card information and I was…read moregoing to sign up. Scheduled another lesson for the following Saturday at 12 noon. Got a call in the middle of the week and said instructor was all booked up and was suggested to book with another instructor there at the school. so I scheduled with another instructor on Saturday 12 noon. Call ahead to make sure everything was scheduled correctly on Saturday morning and they told me they did not have her scheduled. The school did not try to reschedule and basically said they don't have any records of anybody calling me. I was just told I will get a call on Monday to discuss situation no call on Monday so beware they do not follow through on what they say nor try to make it right. with a lot of violin teachers out there you can find one who will operate with integrity.

Nice guys, took my guitar in for a setup. Unfortunately, Never got to actually talk to the luthier…read moreor even got any info about my guitar or what he did. When I got it back, the intonation was still off and I'm not sure they really did anything. They also told me it would be available on Tuesday but they never called. When I called they were closed. I guess they closed early for the holidays. I left a voicemail and never got a call back. I ended up having to call them a few days later and was told it was ready. It would have been nice to get a call telling me what was done and when it was ready. TLDR: Might be a good shop but poor communication means I'll go elsewhere.

Coming in from Florence to visit my in-laws who live just down the road from this shop, I had to…read moreswing by and check them out on this trip as I have been meaning to for the last five years. Brett Morrison greeted me upon entering and gave me the tour of his cute little boutique guitar shop. I call it boutique because they have their own line of guitars and are so far removed from the heartless Guitar Center experience. They are a huge breath of fresh air in a soulless world of shopping mass produced guitars that are average at best. Their guitars are not for beginners looking for cheap $150 starter guitar kits. But if you have been playing for a few years and like me know that it's more than just a passing interest, they have some wonderful instruments. They have their own guitar line designed to their specs and after handling them I can tell you that the construction and finish on them are excellent! I found a few that really peaked my interest, and Brent spent a lot of time with me showing me different guitars and just shooting the breeze with me, without the hard sell which was much appreciated. Check this place out if you're n the neighborhood, you won't be disappointed.

Very unprofessional and completely lacking in communication. They constantly cancel classes and…read moreonly inform you once you arrive. Imagine driving an hour just to find out your class is canceled--not just once, but most of the time. We clearly communicated and requested that they notify us at least a few hours in advance so we wouldn't waste the trip, but they never did. They never apologize or offer any consideration, yet if you try to reschedule, they make you pay. Stay away from this school--you don't want the disappointment.

Minda also teaches lessons, so I signed right up. Great experience. She's patient, willing to explain things to my engineering brain, and brilliant. More, when it came time to change a string, Minda gave me a lesson. She even let me change a few strings on a harp she was working on. Telling me how to do it, showing me how to do it, then letting me do it but talking me through each step. Finally, doing it on my own but with her watching. Great way of learning. I was able to go home and confidently change the string myself. Five of five stars. And an extra star because she's just so darn nice about it.

You won't find a better drum instructor in Dallas than Johnny Bell. His tab method gets you started…read moreright off the bat. He is personable, high energy and I welcome his critiques. I am 41 years old and never picked up a drum stick in my life until this week. Within one lesson, I decided on not only my grip but that I wanted a drum set- a decision not to take lightly as a kit takes up square footage in your home and it's a "loud" instrument. He did not push me to purchase a kit either. He gave me numerous recommendations tailored to my 1230 sq ft home. I will continue my lessons in his studio as it's a really badass set up and I enjoy playing with him, despite drumming appearing to be a "solo" instrument to us noobs. I would recommend him for adults as well as children. I am a piano player. Drums are an "intimidating" instrument to me...but not anymore with Johnny Bell as my instructor. He is in love with his craft and it shows during every minute of lessons.

Growing up singing in choirs, I learned very well how to sing as part of a group and sound the same…read moreas everyone else. I learned to match pitch and mimic runs. I learned to understand when to sing loudly and when to sing softly. But I never learned which voice was my own. I never learned how to use what I have already because I was so caught up trying to sound like everyone else, I never embraced my own sound. My thinking has prevented me all this time, from growing as a singer. The ability has been there, the desire has absolutely been there, but with a clouded mind, the greatest of any talents becomes average, at best. Both of my parents were leaders in church, singing traditional black gospel music, filled with soul. Lots of runs, lots of modulations and key and tempo changes, lots of drawn out vowels, extended breath holds, stratosphere-level bridge notes... but most of all, they always had emotion. There was passion that lead them when they sang. I remember saying, "I'll never be able to sing like them, so I hold back a lot because I can't do what they did." In our first session, her reply was simple: "You CAN do it. And you will sing even BETTER than they did." Just to have a positive voice to trust more than my own negative thinking, that alone would be worth my time. But she's taken time to help me understand when to use my full voice vs my falsetto, how to project sound in every range, how to shape notes to match my strongest vowel sounds, how to be willing to make a mistake and learn from it. And whereas I used to refrain from allowing anyone to hear me singing, now, it's common for me to sing out freely at work, at church and everyone else, with little concern for who is listening. I still have lots to learn, but I'm grateful to be learning it in a safe place.
