One has signed a record deal with Sony, and the other accepted and attending a top 10 university for Music Theater, and just closed her first professional Music Theater production ( her vocals earning her the lead). Candace has been pivotal in their careers. Candace is an amazing, knowledgeable and caring vocal coach and a wonderful human being. There is a strong emphasis on vocal health for which my kids and I are very grateful. I wish I could give her more than 5 stars! SHES THE BEST!

Parent were not allowed in the studio to see how they perform and i was not musical to measure their progress too which i regret wasting now. Few instances she was over reacting or yelled at kids and they were refusing to go inside for her class. One of my kid had special needs and she has no patience or knowledge in handling a special need kid/kid. After few more red signs i had to pull my kids out of her place. I am glad i moved them to another place and i cant believe on the progress they have made now. They have both passed RCM Level1 and Level2 and are in level3 now passed all with distinction and honors. Beware non musical parents to monitor your kids progress. If you are thinking about enrolling a special kid or younger kids i would say a big NO.

Huge shout out to Dennis at Rock Star Guitar Repair! We stopped by his shop late one evening…read more Although he was jumping on a plane the next day for an East coast gig, he said "no worries, I'll fix yah up"....and that he did! Got my son's older Roland GC-408 amp working again by the time he said he would. To top it off, he gave us a discounted price as a first-time customer. Dennis is an incredibly laid-back, multi-talented, musician and gear repair extraordinaire! I can't recommend Dennis and his honest, quality work high enough. We will definitely be back for any future needed repairs or upgrades!

That's the thing about being a South Bay local -- your handshake is your word and reputation travels fast. I didn't know Dennis from Adam, but he's clearly been in that spot a long time and has the respect of his neighbors, which was enough for me to take the chance. It's rare to find people who go above and beyond anymore. I would've been satisfied if he just fixed my issue (reseat the saddle, check the piezo) and wiped off the fingerprints. Instead, he went next-level: sanded the saddle, adjusted the action, shimmed the piezo, oiled my dry fretboard, put on new strings, and cleaned her up like Christmas morning -- all before heading out on a big trip. And friendly as heck. Point is: you don't need to go anywhere else. Make him busy, drive up his prices. This is your guy.

Cons: communication at pickup was lacking. No after restoration report to let me know what was adjusted. Cannot tell what was serviced or restored. There doesn't appear to be more than a cursory wipe down of an instrument that hasn't been played for more than 25 yrs. Corks and pads are all the same as brought in, with no discernible work done or replacements. $210 for someone to wipe down the instrument poorly and oil valves? When asking to purchase cork grease upon pickup, was denied and told it was only for rentals despite more than $400 of business between resto and additional purchases. Options are quite limited locally, it's pretty much the only music shop in town for woodwinds and brass, but would recommend shopping around if you have the opportunity. Your mileage may vary. Happy to discuss my experience with management and revise.

Rather than offer information/help on their offerings I was left with the impression that I judged to be a looky-loo. After about ten-minutes of looking around I gave up and left the gentleman/staff to hover over the guy jamming away. Hope that guy bought something because I certainly wasn't offered that opportunity. And as for pre-judging me as a waste of time to help, later that afternoon I found ProAudioLand who were very helpful and purchased a $1,000 Gretsch guitar. Ironically, ProAudioLand isn't really a retail store for guitars. Even though they specialize in online sales their staff went out of their way to help me with my requests.

Music rooms with more of a rock music instruction focus. Some individual lessons and some whole bands of kids playing. Loungey area to hang out with snacks and air hockey. Really cool spot!
