My child had been taking guitar lessons at Zumix, and while we initially had high hopes, our experience was ultimately very disappointing. My son has a disorder and is on an IEP; school has always been challenging for him, and at times, his guitar lessons had to take a back seat so he could focus on his academic needs. This summer, he was required to attend summer school due to those challenges. We communicated this to Zumix and asked if he could take a temporary break from lessons. The response we received from Jennifer was disheartening: "We've had to offer your lesson time to one of the many students currently on our waitlist who are eager and ready to jump in." While I understand there is high demand, this response lacked any compassion or effort to find a solution. It sent a clear message: that my child, who has already faced so many obstacles, is easily replaceable. Instead of feeling like part of a community, we felt discarded. There was no flexibility, no outreach, and no sense that they cared about my child's journey or well-being. If your child has a disability or needs some grace and understanding, I would strongly urge you to proceed with caution. This experience was a painful reminder that not all youth organizations are equipped--or willing--to support children with unique needs. read more

What an awesome venue! We had my daughters baby shower here today, and I can't say enough about how much we loved it. From the people that work here, to how helpful they are, clean and organized, and it has everything you need! I highly recommend Zumix, and we are looking forward to having another even there soon. Maybe the baby's first birthday! read more

Attended a beautiful baby shower here on a Sunday- the large windows let in plenty of light and there were lots of sweet kids pictures in sidewalk chalk outside. The intact fire pole was a fun feature, and two spacious bathrooms in the back made it ideal. Parking can be tricky, but I got lucky and found a spot. The hostess was sweet and offered to help us clean up after too! Great all around! read more

This is the best if you have a hidden talent or your looking for one I mean this will help you sing drum and etc and the best part is it's free. You get to learn stuff since I went there before I know mostly about singing and drumming drumming this taught me how to drum with actual drums and know I know tips from them and they helped me a lot if you like making beats or just like the drums they will help a lot and they instructors are very nice. In singing we go every day at the assigned time and we learn and vote on the song we practice and then at the end ZUMIX brings food that you pay for and you can see the stuff that other people have worked very hard for and you get to preform what you have been practicing in front of a stage #BEST MUSIC PROGRAM EVER read more
