A gem of a local business in Tucker. We went here for a double-decker keyboard stand. We called and…read morespoke with Paul, who quoted us a fair price. When we got there Paul was friendly with my whole family, kids included, and the same can't be said for some of the other music shops we've stopped at in the past. There was no pressure and he was happy to let the boys roam and gawk at his amazing selection. He is clearly knowledgeable about his gear, but very easy to talk to even for a non-musician like myself. He also helped answer questions we had about getting our kids excited about music and instruments. My boys have been talking non-stop about Mr. Paul's cool store and all the instruments they saw. I hope Paul & The Music Trader are around for many years to come, and I look forward to many return trips with my boys for upgrades!

(A new record!) The nice man working the store was very helpful and was able to talk to me about their current inventory. They didn't have any Gibson guitars or pointy metal guitars, but their Fender and acoustic selection are solid. When I asked about specific products, he offered to call the store owner to haggle (awesome)! I didn't buy anything, we had to head back to downtown Atlanta for Coheed & Cambria, but I would certainly stop back in and/or haggle with them on Reverb. TLDR; looking for a Fender or an acoustic? Stop in.

** This review is just on the WeeJam Music Class for Kids **…read more We just attended our first Wee Jam class and it was so much fun! It is for kids ages 0-5, which at first I was nervous about, but it was fine. Parent involvement is needed, so if you think you are going to go and just watch, you are wrong. The class is on Saturdays before the store opens, and you need to per-register. It is an 8 week class that is about $130 for one kid and $200 for 2. The teacher gets everyone to sing songs, play instruments, and dance. My kids loved the drums and the songs. They made us all have a dance party and my little guy was rocking out to " We will Rock You" by Queen. It is nice that it is not all kiddy songs. They also were showing the kids how to keep a rhythm with drum sticks. I highly recommend this class to anyone with little rock stars!
