I also purchased another guitar case since mine was old and starting to fall apart. They had several cases on sale, a win for me! My guitar case has seen a lot of travel and it was deteriorating from more than 40 years of abuse/use. They replaced the broken keys, restrung it, and polished the guitar. The entire cost was reasonable and I'm glad I had the work done. My guitar is once again being played like it was meant to be played. I was able to purchase additional strings in the event mine snapped. I think the new tuning posts should remedy that problem. I know they do varies types of instrument repair and they support our local high school, the Allen Eagles. I'm glad I found this shop, small, but just what I needed. 2017/27

I must say how impressed I was with Zach who gave my nephew and me an educational lesson on everything you want to know about guitars. It was lovely, and he was very helpful as my nephew soaked in as much as he could. The nice thing is they do not try to upsell their equipment. I was actually the one who attempted to get my nephew, Josh, to purchase a higher-end guitar. But Joshua had an idea of what he wanted and how or when he'll be picking up his new guitar while away for college. Thank you, Zach... you were instrumental in the decision-making process for Joshua. We will definitely return for an upgrade one day and/or for future lessons. Also, thank you Eli... you were informative as well. Great folks at Frisco Music Center

The another guy came out after 2 mins and stand in front of my car with the instrument but didn't say anything at all. My daughter and I looked at each other I guess that's your violin and it's ready, go get it from him. No thanks, no waving no explanation at all. So we left and when we got home and the violin still out of tune. What a waste of time and worst customer service.

As I approached she didn't even say hello, she was stuck on her phone playing some game. I asked several times, "hey, can I sign my lil bro up for lessons". Finally she responded "what do you want, sure". My lil bro is kind of an energetic happy kid, he told her "I'm excited to learn the drums miss". She grunted and went off on a tangent about how its the hardest instrument to learn (its not) and it maybe wasn't for kids (kids can learn the drums lady). She kind of bummed him out saying this so I left. I get that being in a customer service position is hard, I myself was in customer service as a waiter, so I know that the service I got was pretty trash. Decided to take my brother to a different school. The teachers here may be good, or even great, but the front desk service turned me off too much. Ciao!

After my first impression as well as a few additional impressions, I could not be more impressed…read morewith this place. I could have driven by this place 1000 times and would never know there were music lessons here. The front desk girl was nice and the place is spotless clean. The instructor we had was animated and great with my son. What I find to be the most awesome is that the people here actually love music, so they seem to work here to spread the joy of making music. I was a bit reluctant when my son said he wanted to play drums, but after seeing how excited he is and how well he is doing, I'm sold. We purchased a set of Alexis drums so he can wear headphones, this allows him to practice while we sit quietly in another room doing something else. They have both regular drums and electronic drums at the studio. As you walk past the different rooms, you see various children and teachers and if you look close enough, you can even see the little light bulb above the kids heads. I find it amazing watching kids learn and I find it ever more amazing seeing someone actually enjoy teaching children. It makes my heart melt. These guys are talented, experienced and work very good with kids. I am impressed and will be introducing my daughter to the guitar soon after. My desire to have her take guitar lessons is solely based on the enthusiasm I've seen with the teachers. The drum sessions are 30 minutes, which is perfect since anything more would be sensory overload. You'd be amazed at what a 9 year old can pickup in 30 minutes, especially with an instructor that's excited to teach him. I tip my hat and say BRAVO, job well done Matt Burk Music Studio, I am a fan!

Our 10 and 11 year old girls have been attending SOR McKinney for just about 18 months as part of…read morethe Rock 101 program. We discovered the program through a colleague of my wife's whose son has been a participant in the Frisco school's program for several years. Both my wife and I were in band in school many years ago, so we thought this would be a great opportunity for the girls to learn a practical instrument and get some performance experience to help them not be shy. Since joining the program, the girls have had a number of instructors: one that has an advanced education in classical guitar, one that has a higher education background in early childhood development, and several that have toured nation-wide as real musicians. Some of those instructors were in fact students once in other SOR schools. And throughout the program, the entire staff, and even culture of the school, has been very positive and supporting. In the past 18 months, the girls have played multi-venue concerts in Deep Ellum twice, they have played in a battle of the bands at the House of Blues, and numerous other concerts at bars and restaurants in and around McKinney and Frisco. My younger girl stays glued to the electric guitar, and my older girl mainly plays the drum kit, but sings and plays bass on the side. Together, our girls teamed up with a little boy in their 5th grade class and played a song (from SOR) in their elementary school's talent show a few months ago, and they rocked the house and put some elementary school teacher's in shock! My wife and I were in awe, and we both commented what it would been like to have been rock stars even before going into junior high and middle school (we were nowhere near this cool!). I haven't seen any program similar to what SOR is doing: they work on temp, rhythm, and style all the while driving the kids to perform in front of others. They leave reading music and theory to the public schools to teach (which for me was the not-so-fun part). Doing it this way, the kids are only learning that music is fun and rewarding, but my oldest is starting 6th grade in the fall where she will start complementing what she has been learning with those extra skills of reading music, etc. Its been a very good program; very positive results. To address the other reviewer that alluded to drugs being present at the school: I am a software development manager that runs an international organization which in the past has required me to have security clearances. My wife is a top nurse practitioner who is respected as deeply knowledgeable in multiple fields. There is absolutely no way we would allow our kids to be involved in this program if there was any hint of illegal activity. I have sat in their building for countless hours waiting for practices to be over, and I have never seen this. The building is definitely shabby chic (meaning a little bit of a dump), but so are many of the performance venues--that's part of what it means to be a performer. But, its good enough; the program is expensive enough without needing to make it into a lounge. We highly recommend.

I came in on a Saturday and spoke with the owner Roger who was very nice and explained what he would be doing with my guitar and how long it would take.

Guitar Doctor does offer a wide range of other services such as string replacement, restorations for all types of instruments as well as consignment selection. I highly recommend coming to see Roger to get your instrument right!
