Although I was concerned about how an older person might be viewed, that concern was immediately blown away. I was shown endless patience and wonderfully encouraged in all my plink plonking. I also see the instructors with children, youth and adults of all ages, giving their all to help them reach their potential. The facility itself, with private rooms and quality instruments, promotes an atmosphere of professionalism. There are structured events outside the studio to help youngsters build confidence on stage. Now, 18 months later, I love every moment of receiving superb teaching and have gained confidence in my own playing. Whether you are a complete beginner or picking it up again in later life, I can thoroughly recommend Reed Music Studios and their Teachers

To all that may have read the previous review... I, as an instructor at OMA, and a long time…read moremusician in the Coulee Region, felt the need to set the record straight! I owned my own Studio here in Onalaska for some time, and I am very PROUD to be a member of the Onalaska Music Academy! The owner, Lynn, is VERY professional... and I highly doubt that Jay's negative review has any merit. I have been teaching there now for a couple of years. Lynn is a very gracious, caring and thoughtful instructor and colleague... who runs a very tight ship. The level of professionalism, and attention to quality instruction is what drew me to the Studio in the first place, and is why I have continued to teach there ever since. She is very particular about the quality of person she takes on as an instructor, and has high expectations of the those whom she is affiliated with. (My guess... is that Jay F., simply was not a good fit for our learning community?) We have quality instructors here, who teach a wide range of students, regardless of age, race or creed. I hope anyone who reads this will check us out, and see all that we have to offer. It is a great learn, and we are making beautiful music happen here.

I stop by every time I visit the area, even going out of my way to make a visit if I am anywhere close. The employees are cordial and extremely knowledgable, without being overbearing or pushy salespeople. In my eyes their floor staff has an absolutely ideal approach. You can wander around, poke, prod, and play anything on the walls or the floor. They leave you to explore as long as you want. if you need guidance I'm narrowing down your choices they can get you there. If you have questions and they don't know an answer they are just as excited to learn something new as you are. And the collection upstairs? Otherworldly. This place is the Graceland of the Midwest.

They had a number of Ukes showing on their webpage, but when I got there there was only one in the size I needed. I should have gone with Amazon! I went to one class and discovered that I was having trouble with chords, as I have arthritis in my hands. I played this uke a total of under a half hour. it's exactly as it was when purchased. I got it on Valentine's Day, which is three weeks ago. My mistake was not checking their return policy. I could have returned it for free on Amazon. So much for buying local. The owner told me he could 'buy it back', whatever. I just turned and left. Now I'm out $263.63. Am I wrong to think he could have made one exception?
