I am so pleased with the great piano teacher match through Shining Light Music. When I called to…read moreinquire about teachers, I communicated that our requirements are stringent: my son is 6 yrs old, and while he likes piano, he doesn't looove piano, so the lessons have to be fun and engaging to encourage his progress. He's had 1.5 years piano instruction, and he doesn't respond well to some of the "too basic" piano book courses we had temporarily explored with a couple past teachers, so it's a challenge to level him up with material and technique that is age appropriate and fun enough but not too basic, nor too complex. And we had limited time availabilty as our schedules are maxed... It's such a blessing that the receptionist recommended Ms. Emily Shelp! Ms. Emily is well qualified; she possesses a Bachelor of Music in Piano Pedagogy from Bob Jones University and has been playing since she was 7 yrs old. Her bio is coming soon to the Shining Light Music teacher page. Best of all, she strikes the right notes - I couldn't resist the pun! - in working on my son's technique and making it fun. She motivates him with weekly fun point-competitions (to earn country stickers in his passport, medals, trophy, etc.) which has resulted in him reminding me that he has to memorize a song for the next lesson..cuz he wants the points! (whoo hoo, he's no longer resistant to practicing!!!!) I feel that she is the right piano teacher for his current level and needs; she employs a cheerful and focused Kindergarten/First Grade encouraging teaching style to keep all the lessons fun and on track, she's able to motivate and consistently award with positive reinforcement, able to redirect him when he gets silly (after all he's been in school all day, then straight to his lesson!) and I appreciate how she is able to teach finer technique in a way that he understands. She would be great for both beginner and advanced students.

I've been to this location numerous times in the past couple of years and have always had extremely…read morepleasant experiences, especially talking to the staff. I was pretty surprised to see such low reviews on here, but noticed they're a few years old, so I'll share my own take. I've always been greeted and assisted with what I'm looking for. I'm beyond satisfied with everything I've ever purchased from here. The employees are usually teens, but they're smart, helpful, social kids that are fun to shoot the shit with (I've had two wonderful conversations about King Gizzard on two separate occasions with two separate employees, which is something I can't say about literally anywhere else in the Midwest). If you haven't given it a chance in a few years, I highly recommend you give it another chance.

They were very quick loading and unloading the truck. They were very careful with the items. There was no damage. I had things in my van and they were kind enough to help me unload it. I couldn't have asked for a better experience. I would highly recommend them and would use them again if needed.

Ron at KC Guitar Setups is a amazing guy and does incredible work. After my dad gave me his guitar,…read morea guitar I've loved since I first saw it many years ago, I spent a lot of time looking for someone I could trust to do some work on it. It needed wiring, bridge, nut, and general set up among other things. Before I met Ron I was very apprehensive about leaving her with anyone. Fortunately, Ron is an expert and treated my guitar with great care. He listened carefully to what I was looking for, then provided regular updates which made me comfortable knowing it was in the right hands. When the work was done it was far better than I could have hoped for. KC Guitar Setups overdelivered in a way you just don't find anymore. We're lucky to have Ron in the KC area and I'd recommend him for any guitar, any time. Thank you again, Ron and KC Guitar Setups!

Contact me today for consultation or appointment to get your guitar playing its best. The guitar setup is focused on playability and some general maintenance of an acoustic, electric, or bass guitar. I keep your preferences in mind on making it low action with little or no buzzing of the strings. I restore the guitar to the proper measurements and then I make final adjustments by playing it, ensuring it feels right.

My buddy and I stood there looking at boxes of electric drum sets; no information written on them expect how many pieces were in it. Finally, my homie went to ask some fellah sitting in a chair around the corner scrolling (presumably) tiktok if he we could help us. The dude replied "what do you want." My buddy said, "we're looking to buy a drum set." Dude said "I guess.....since we only have 1 sales guy on the floor." This guy wasn't helpful. Quite the opposite. The boxes were literally more informative. I ended up looking up videos on youtube right in front of him. I asked if he found any information as he too had his face in his phone... he complained about the bad wi-fi. So sad... This isn't the guitar center I remember. The employees are zombies and the mini signs with employee faces and their "preferred pronouns" is a joke. It's even sadder that yelp with will probably remove this because I pointed out this foolishness. Lazy. So lazy. I'm was looking to spend thousands. Now I'm just going to buy a cajon off amazon or maybe just give up on music entirely. Seriously, it's that bad. This place used to get me amped (pun intended) to make music. Now, all I want to do is listen to Death Cab for Cutie on repeat and write dark experimental poetry.
