Drums, microphones and even practice rooms as they offer classes. I love that you can try pretty much anything out before you buy it. The staff here is VERY busy and very helpful when you can catch them. Patience is key. This place is poppin' on the weekends so I would suggest a weekday visit to get more one on one attention if you need it. Just coming here to browse and be around musicians makes me happy. There is just something about walking into a place vs shopping online. Love it here!

Amazing Service from Charlie at Music Shack (June 23, 2025)…read more On Monday, June 23, 2025, I stopped by the Music Shack in Longwood--unaware they were closed. As I was getting ready to leave, Charlie kindly opened the door and informed me that the store wasn't open on Mondays, but offered his assistance nonetheless. I explained that I needed clarification about my instrument rental agreement. Charlie was incredibly professional, courteous, and genuinely caring. He went above and beyond my expectations--not only did he thoroughly explain the details, but he also took the initiative to call the rental company directly to obtain the accurate information I needed. I even offered to come back on another day, but Charlie insisted on helping me right then and there. It's clear that Music Shack truly values their customers, and Charlie is a shining example of excellent service. Thank you, Charlie, for your outstanding dedication--this is the kind of experience that keeps customers coming back!

Unfortunately, in a choice that I foolishly regret, on Tuesday, June 11th, 2024 I attended the…read morefirst session of Vocal Ensembles class with Mr. Juan. In this class, I was openly insulted by him several times even after stating that I am a beginner. In front of the others, he proceeded to reference an example that apparently compared my singing to that he always wanted to play baseball but he just wasn't good at it. He was better at soccer instead. I was highly offended because as I child I was told cruel comments about my singing by certain family members and it stuck with me for my entire life. At 38 years old, I finally (or so I thought) drew the courage to try to learn properly how to sing and all was going well until that fateful Tuesday that is. Mr Juan should think before he speaks because there is a great difference between constructive criticism and outright rudeness. Making jokes that I had tonal amnesia is very upsetting. He doesn't know what some of his students have been through or how many have finally summoned up courage after putting their voice out there again after previously hearing cruel words. He tried to cover up his nastiness by saying no one is here to judge only to help. Well, too late, as I felt and still feel judged. I am not a professional singer nor do I pretend to be. I only wanted to learn and not have childhood trauma re-hatched. I guess I will take Mr. Juan's advice because as a classically trained ballet dancer I will stick with my own version of "soccer" and forget about singing because it's my version of "baseball" and apparently I will never be decent at it no matter how hard I try. One always catches more files with honey than they do vinegar. I hope Mr. Juan will one day learn that. I originally tried to post this review on Wellness Living last year but Avalon School of Music wouldn't post it to keep their bogus 5 Star reviews. Adults looking for lessons BEWARE of Mr. Juan!!

Both of my kids to these schools (there are 4 others in Central Florida which are all owned by the same person). Michael went to Notre Dame and carried on to major in Pipe Organ Performance (with a minor in cybersecurity because, hey, why not?) and Andrew learned the piano and bass guitar, eventually switching to sports from music and attending UCF with confidence that, sometimes, only the arts can give you. Please take a look at the free lesson promotion they have right now because it is the best one I've seen to date.
