It is a small shop but they have warehouses to store the rest of their inventory so if you don't see something there, definitely ask about their warehouse storage. Given the space they're at, they still have an impressive selection with very reasonable prices. Support local businesses! Tim and Perry helped me out while I was there and were both very helpful and nice. They answered my many questions with expertise. I look forward to going back soon!

His ultimate goal was to get the Zildjian New Beats Carter Beauford rocks. Little did he know that when he walked into this shop, they would have not only 1, but 2 used sets available! He was very pleased to be able to trade some unneeded cymbals and hardware towards the purchase. The shop is jam packed with guitars, drums, and equipment. We found out this store has been here 60 years, with the second generation of the same family owning it. I'm not sure which of the Kae brothers--Jason or Tim--helped us, but it was a pleasure doing business with him.

I attended Lamont for my master's for two years and had the best education. I received my…read morebachelor's oversea and PhD in Hawaii, so I think I can make a fair judgement. So this is really something unique! The class size is small and you would build great relationship with all your professors. And the professors would go extra miles to help you for your academic success. And I'm now an educator in higher education myself and Lamont really shaped my teaching philosophy seeing how my professors treat the students. The tuition is expensive but they usually offer generous scholarships, and the tuition you pay worth every penny!

Who knew a place like this existed right in the middle of the school? Coach and I went here and saw…read moreCarmen and I was highly impressed with a lot of the talent there. First of all, the theater itself is really pretty and I don't think there's a bad seat in the house. Even the seats I thought would be blocked by the overhead lights become unblocked as the lights raised all the way to the ceiling at the beginning of the performance. During the intermissions you hang out in what I imagine should be called a great hall where you can drink sodas, beer, wine and water or have some snacks. I'm pretty sure they sell Fanta Orange, which equals Tiffany being a big fan. I love that stuff along with Welch's Grape. However, I drank wine since it was Friday and wine is like scissors over Fanta's paper. The actors rotate every other night and they come from schools across the country. Some of them had voices that made me think they should be on a very famously known stage in the opera world. Others were kind of hard to hear, but eh, they are students. Overall I really enjoyed it, but that may be because they have a translator screen above the stage that lets you know what they hell is going on when you can quite figure it out based on actions alone. **Disclosure: I am in no way a professional opera critic as this was the very first I've attended.

I have been a piano student at Sollohub for almost a year. I had been interested in piano lessons…read morefor a long while and saw an online offer. I took a leap of faith, bought the offer, and it has turned into a fabulous experience. I've learned more than I could imagine before I started. My instructor is amazing. She also teaches other instruments and voice, but my focus is piano. She is not only an instructor, but also a professional performer. Very qualified and fun. I could not be more pleased with my experience at Sollohub School of Music. During the fall, students were given the option of signing up for recording sessions at a professional studio in Denver. As a total beginner, I did not participate, but what a great opportunity to create holiday gifts for those more accomplished students. If you are considering lessons for yourself or a family member, I highly recommend Sollohub School of Music. As I come and go, I see mostly school age kids arriving for lessons, so the school serves all ages.

She spent about an hour doing the tuning. My only issue is being charged $295 for an hours work. That's right up there with electricians!

I grew up in a musical family…read more I was a reluctant classical piano student for 10 years. On one hand, I was fortunate to have had lessons from one of the most renowned organists/pianists in the Washington, DC, metro area. On the other hand, I had little love for the keyboard or the music I was assigned to play. Nevertheless, I learned to appreciate good music and good musicians. The same year I quit the piano, a Gibson J-45 acoustical guitar arrived at Christmas. Like many teenagers, I day-dreamed about playing professionally without understanding what that required. Other things in life got in the way of guitar playing and the Gibson got sold. Forty years later, my wife and I were attending an art auction. The first item up for bid was a guitar with two months' worth of lessons. I made an opening bid... my wife gave me a surprised look... I didn't expect to win... I did. That's how I got started with Lyle Long - purely by chance. It's been one of the most satisfying, educational experiences in my life. I've studied under some exceptionally talented music teachers. Lyle stands at the top of that list for two reasons: his talent as an exceptional guitarist; but more so, because of his exceptional teaching skills. He has an uncanny ability to get to the essence of issues that frustrate music students. He does this on both an emotional and technical level. He has the unusual gift of being able to connect with both adults as well as young children. It is truly amazing to watch (or experience first-hand) how he translates complex music theory into easily understood concepts; guides students to understand these concepts with achievable techniques based upon their current skill levels; diagnoses errors and corrects habits; all of which combine towards building a strong foundation of confidence. For young people especially, I think acquiring confidence in something that they can value (and others value) is critical. I came to my first lessons with a lot of uncertainty about my technical capabilities and knowledge. Lyle literally started by returning me to a very basic level and showed me how much of the theory and techniques that I had learned many years earlier had actually gotten in the way of making me a better musician. I sometimes leave my lessons with thoughts about how very different my music life would have been if I'd had Lyle Long for a teacher forty years ago. If you are considering musical instruction for yourself, or for your children; at levels anywhere between beginner to professional, I highly recommend Lyle Long. You will not regret your decision.

I'm fairly new in town, and had had bad luck trying to get a particular Swiss-made guitar amplifier…read morefixed. By word of mouth, after trying several local repairmen, I got wind of "Shon" at Sound Town. He combed over the amp tooth and nail, and finally solved the problem for me, a problem that turned out to be not so much a broken component (my guess) as operator error, a change-over from an active to passive guitar, and the need for a suitable pre-amp to boost the signal . It took a lot of testing and reading of manuals and schematics, before Sean figured out what was going on. He went so far as to compare my sound-levels with those of other amps in the stores and he was quite patient and thorough in every regard. I made several trips to the store, and became acquainted with three key people there, all of whom were very nice, and I got a feeling for their special niche in the music world, which is the supplying of sound systems and various components, whether for rentals-out or for purchase. They keep a fair supply of guitar needs and are happy to order anything you might want at a fair price. Though Guitar Center and places like Kolacny's and Flesher-Hinton all have their place, I'll always begin by shopping here because of their patience and kindness. It is a special kind of store with special kind of people, and it always feels good to be patronizing a locally owned business of modest proportions. Bravo!
