The drum guy always seems flustered when you talk to him and not very accommodating. You'll be talking to him and then he'll divert his attention to a friend or someone else that's come into the store. They don't really have any acoustic kits set up to sample or preview before purchase. Sucks that there's no other option in Nanaimo and this store doesn't cut it. After having spoken with an acquaintance (drummer) he can also confirm the poor managment

I was told that although the store did not have a delivery service, it would make some arrangement.

Needless to say, this Canadian expat was extremely impressed with the level of service and kindness of this gesture. Thank you!

So very little time was actually spent teaching us fiddle! The young lady spent most of the 1 hour lessons tuning our fiddles and then there was maybe 15 minutes left actually teaching us something. It obviously would have been far more productive if the lessons had been at least 90 minutes, then we would have had time to actually learn something. I wonder if it's too late to get my money back⁉

As someone who wrote themselves off as a musician around the time they quit piano lessons as a kid,…read moreI was a bit nervous about getting into the ukulele at age 41. I needn't have worried. I am seriously impressed with the excellence of instruction I am receiving at South Island Music Studio. I actually enjoy learning music theory and discussing the details of performing and songwriting with my knowledgeable and enthusiastic instructor. Practicing and doing recommended homework is not the chore it once was. You can tell when someone loves what they do, and all of the staff I have met at South Island Studio sincerely love music and teaching. Even when my instructor was sick, the instructor who covered for him held an in-depth conversation with me about the function and meaning of musical timing within a piece. I highly recommend this school for anybody of any age who would like to learn music.

The instructors were…read morecalm and patient and adjusted their teaching style to the individual characteristics of my kids. My son preferred to play by ear and the teachers at South Island helped him to develop this talent to the point where he now writes and arranges his own music. My daughter, on the other hand, was anxious about the entire idea of taking lessons. Her teacher had such a gentle and fun way about him that after a few weeks of lessons, we never had to remind her to practice and she never wanted to miss a lesson. South Island Studio inspires kids toward a love of music! Now that we have moved away from Victoria we will be hard-pressed to find teachers of this caliber.
