He went above and beyond to assist me after regular business hours even though he knew I was not going to buy anything from his business.

When I'm ready for additional or upgraded equipment, I will definitely seek him out!

Emily is an amazing Violin instructor. Our daughter initially was a little concerned about taking…read moreprivate lessons. After the first lesson she was so excited to continue them each week. Emily is a patient teacher and also very friendly when talking with her students and instructing them on proper techniques. We couldn't be happier with how everything is going. Our daughter's Orchestra teacher at her middle school told us that she could clearly see how much better and more confident she plays her violin due to the lessons. Thank you. :-)

From the owner: In my studio I teach violin lessons to individuals all ages, from the young beginner, through the…read moreintermediate player, to the adult student. In a once weekly lesson the student will be taught all the basics of technique and theory they need to develop into a fine violinist and musician. I believe playing an instrument is a truly great way to build confidence, and gain a great skill that you will have and can share all you life.

I just bought a lovely Kawai grand piano from this store and I am over the moon happy. I tried at…read moreleast 50 different pianos in this metroplex and in so doing learned that I am an insufferable snob with expensive taste. I found a beautifully restored piano that was within my budget and I'm incredibly in love with the sound, the feel, everything. It was a great experience buying from Washington Pianos and should I ever need to upgrade (which seems unlikely based on the amazing tone of this one) that amount spent can go towards a different one in the future. Great warranty and great experience. I thoroughly appreciated how respectfully I was treated throughout this process and feel comfortable knowing that I can reach out to Sam if something ever needs a fix or something. Thanks again!

I can't express enough how pleased I am with this music school. I've never seen the owner Leon, be…read moreanything but kind and patient with folks and my son adores him. We've been at the school now for about 2 and a half years. My 14 year old has been very happy and has learned so much from Leon. Leon has been caring and accommodating. Any time he can give me child an opportunity he goes out of his way to do so. Leon has a special relationship with my child and my son talks often about Leon and has recommended him to several friends. He tells people often how great his guitar teacher is. My son talks about wanting to stay in lessons till he's in college and beyond. That only comes when you have been made to feel special and cared for. My son is working currently with Willow as well in the youth rock orchestra and Willow is very patient with all the kids and my son is enjoying the band and Willow very much. I know the Flute teacher Jean and she's great and caring as well, and I've recently watched another teacher, I believe she's a violin teacher, work with the group of kids and she's a smiling face, helpful and kind. I've watched all the teachers as they come and go and I've never seen anyone treated in a way that I found unprofessional. My other son took 2 years of piano with Katya. I've found her to be just as kind and helpful. It's a family here, a family I'm proud to be a part of. I find it extremely hard to believe that anyone here was unprofessional to anyone and I've been here before the new owner took over, during the transition and after. I have only seen improvements since Leon. We have a larger, very nice space now and it's nice having more room to move. The school is clean and pleasant. The teachers give of themselves and have youth programs for kids who couldn't otherwise be able to take lessons. I've personally seen many staff doing the hard work of running these programs. I wouldn't hesitate to send my friends and their families to the federal way school of music. I proudly recommend them.

Not only has Greg helped Kj with playing the guitar, he has also help Kj to mainstream in general education (Kj since working with Greg, is in his grade level for music in school). I'm thrilled for my son and so thankful that Greg is a part of our journey. Greg has help Kj be able to express himself musically and it is so rewarding to watch Kj's progress! It's such a blessing to see Kj be proud of something and he is doing so well play the guitar thanks to Greg! My youngest son, Jake, is 7-years-old and also doing an amazing job playing the guitar since working with Greg also! Greg is incredibly talented in getting through to each individual and helping each of my sons with their very unique ways of learning. I believe Greg can teach anyone how to play the guitar well. Greg's studio is such a pleasant place to be, clean and calming. He provides a welcoming environment for his students to learn in. Thank you Greg for sharing your talents!
