I first learned how to read and play music at the owners other store in Lyons. I took trumpet and…read moreguitar back then. The owner of the place is a great teacher, and doesn't let you get away with making excuses. The philosophy of the place is that they want you to learn how to play music, rather than just play a bunch of songs. The place is focused on lessons, so it isn't a guitar store that gives lessons on the side. I moved out of state for a while. When I moved back, the first call I made was to continue my lessons here. Now I'm back to my trumpet and guitar, plus I've started piano. I started back basically where I left off, and I think I sound great. My musical knowledge is improving every week. It's only a matter of time now before I hit the big time!

The word 'frustration' is not even enough to express our experience with Musical Expressions…read more Our 10 year old son was going to attend a piano recital organized by the company. We paid for it a month ahead of the time, cleared our schedules, even had extended family informed. It was supposed to be at 9:45 this morning at a church. We had grandparents from out of town drive 2.5 hours so that they can be a part of it. We bought our son a new suit and dress shoes, as we were emailed by the teacher about the dress code, no gym shoes. We bought flowers to give to our son afterwards to congratulate him. Not even mentioning hours of practice he did for the event and the excitement he had. ALL to get a call 10 minutes prior the event, when we were already in the church parking lot, informing us that the event got cancelled. THE REASON: they could not get into the church. There was ONE, SINGLE, point of contact they had with the church, who failed to show up to let them in. I went to the office as I believe I needed more of an explanation. The staff and owners did not even accept responsibility for this: 'Church person did not show up!'. When I said the place you pick is your responsibility, all they can say was we can happily refund you for the recital money. How are you going to refund the disappointment, frustration and waste of time? Also couple months ago, our teacher was not available for two weeks. Their scheduling is so NOT flexible that they could not schedule make up classes for us at all. We ended up specifically demanding a refund for those classes as they tried to schedule something for weeks but were unable to do so. Our son has been taking classes here for two years now. We love our teacher. But this level of ineptitude displayed by the staff and the owners is just beyond comprehension.
