I take piano lessons here from Jay. I was pretty nervous when I first began (I came in knowing…read morealmost nothing), but he really makes the lessons fun and the theory aspect hasn't been the nightmare that I thought it would be. He offers lessons for either 45 minutes or an hour and he's really great about working around your schedule. He's one of those multi-talented musicians that can play somewhere around 50 instruments. I plan on bringing in bagpipes one day just to see if he can play them. (So..if anyone has some bagpipes laying around, let me know.) I believe he offers lessons for many different instruments, but I can only vouch for piano and guitar. The actual store is owned and run by his father, Steve. They sell all kinds of instruments and musical equipment. I've never actually purchased anything from them, but everyone has been really nice when I've come in for lessons.

I would NEVER take from Krista Wendle. I was uncomfortable around her and missed too many lessons…read moreafter surgery and this is what she sent me: "Never call or text me again. You are irresponsible, rude, and not worthy of being my student. You are a burden on mankind. Good riddance! I will be calling every school in Birmingham to make sure you never have the opportunity to do this again. Ever." She has no idea what happened to me that last day! How dare she treat another human being like this!!!!

Duke's School of Music is one of the finest service provider business' I've ever had the pleasure…read moreof working with. This place is full of sincerely friendly people who love what they do. My son has been taking guitar lessons from Chase for a few years now. Chase is the living embodiment of patients and he demonstrates all other virtues associated with a quality instructor. The spectacular part about this establishment is that is nothing out of the ordinary. Wes, the drum instructor, could be one of the nicest individuals I've ever met. When my son had just started learning guitar in 3rd grade he participated in the schools talent show. Wes was there helping one of his students set up, so he naturally without being asked, walked over talked to my son talked him up, alleviated any nerves he had and helped him set up. After he was done Wes was the first person to hi five my son and tell him how great he did. Chase subsequently volunteered to come, on his own time, the following year to be there to support my son and help him set up. Trip the patriarch of the school is a very fortunate man to have such strong employees. However, it appears he leads by example as he is always positive and friendly and continues to give individual lessons himself. I could not ask for a better facility, more conducive to learning an instrument.
