    Arrived for my guitar lesson 5 minutes in advance, walked around and checked everything out. Upon…read moreentering, I was greeted and while looking around, I was also asked if I had any questions. The person led me back to the lesson area and I waited for about 15 minutes (not happy that my appointment started late but whatev). I chose Sharon because when I called to book the appointment, I was told she has the most experience with newbies and old people (Haha! YES, I'm an old person, Gen-Xer here. I told them I needed an instructor who had patience). Sharon was great with explaining a few key tips and showed me the E, F and G keys. It was a helpful lesson, I did learn some new things and before I left the lesson area she gave me a printout of the notes to practice then walked me to the front. One of my New Year's resolutions is learn how to play a guitar so... this is a start!

Then they write me a check on it Saturday for a refund for a bank that I can't cash it until Monday. When I'm going to return it to the front desk. The dude literally says I'll check the receipt and return it The way you paid us. but I paid in cash. He goes all well. We have to write you a check than. What do you mean? I thought you said you were gonna pay me the way I paid for it if I got the cash for it. And I'm just my own lonely dude. How do you not got the cash for it as a whole Business?

    This review is strictly for lessons, and specifically for Dallas as an instructor. If you just want…read moreto learn chords, Dallas isn't your guy. But if you're interested in learning about music as you learn to play the guitar, I don't think you will find a better teacher. Dallas is a very talented local musician who has a love and passion for guitar. That translates into his lessons. He is also endlessly patient and encouraging, which have been two crucial assets in my case. I highly recommend Dallas for any age or level of talent, without reservation.

    Been meaning to write this review for awhile…read more This place is awful. We signed our seven year old up for ukulele lessons and he was so excited! We got a teacher that honestly just sucked. We had signed up and prepaid for thirty minute lessons once a week. Not only was he flakey, but when he didn't postpone our lessons, he was mostly late to them. He didn't make up the time at the end of the lesson, but often also cut the lesson short. If it wasn't one or the other, it was both. He also consistently came unprepared. Spent a large portion of the lesson printing out sheet music. Why hadn't he done that previously? I couldn't tell you. Then he would chat with our son asking HIM to choose the music. Our son just wanted to learn, he didn't care what they played. And even when he did select something, the teacher would then spend the remainder of their time attempting to search for and transcribe the music. We attempted to reach out to the owner several times. Our names and number were taken each time, usually without a call back. When we did get calls back, it was from the manager or from a woman who could have also been a manager, both of whom were very rude. When I finally spoke to the owner, he seemed to want to be proactive about it. Offered to compensate us for several lessons that we either never received or that were only given partially due to tardiness or incompetence. He also switched us to a different teacher. Apparently we weren't the only ones with complaints about the other guy, so they fired him. The new teacher, Alex, is probably the only person who provided a positive experience for us at this place. I wish he'd just do lessons on his own as we would never recommend anyone go through this place. In the end, we never saw a penny of a refund. No lessons up ended up being credited as promised. And worst of all, they tried to claim we owed them money. For what, you ask? Lessons that were never given while they claimed to be "working all of this out". If I could give this place zero stars, I would. You're better off learning an instrument from your family friend or your dad with mediocre guitar skills from his high school garage band days than you would be at this place.

    Ade was excellent and is highly recommended…read more I found this piano on Freecycle, but it had been in storage for years. My son's piano teacher recommended Ade, and I couldn't be happier with the results. I was fearing a high cost due to how long it had been since the piece had been tuned, but Ade found that it was in much better shape than expected. As a result, while I feared an expensive visit, it turned out to be relatively quick to get back into playing shape and clean for $200. Ade's professionalism, warm demeanor, expertise, and honesty were a welcome change from other experiences with private contractors. I enthusiastically recommend hiring Ade if you need a piano tuning.

    I am extremely pleased with my experience…read more Mr. Porter was above and beyond my expectation. It had been over 30 years since the last tuning was done to our family upright Wulitzer Piano, which was very difficult to play years ago, and became just a large albatross in our house. I called Mr. Porter, and scheduled an appointment. He was prompt and professional upon arrival. I introduced him to the family piano and he proceeded. He started with a visual diagnosis, and explained his process to me in great detail. He was well prepared for the job, and was meticulous in his preparation to clean, service and tune my 60+ year old piano. As he dismantled the necessary areas, he protected each section of the piano as he acquired access to the strings, and made sure to use extra care not to lose any of the parts, large and small. He checked each string, and using care and caution, he proceeded to correct and repair each string to perfect sound quality. He finished the job, including reassembling the piano, and cleaning each and every key to perfection, in just under 3 hours. When he left, and I went to the piano, after almost 30 years, I played my old familiar tunes, and I actually cried. The piano sounded so beautiful, it was like having an old familiar friend back in my life. Mr. Porter, thank you. I am happy to give you a 5 Star rating.
