Carlos has the ability to place you outside of your comfort zone, allowing you to progress at a fast pace. His strong listening skills allows him to navigate each lesson in the most valuable way, every time. He is also able to pinpoint the method in which you learn the best, which breeds tremendous results. Very grateful to be apart of this program, and paired with a phenomenal instructor such as Carlos. Highly recommended!!!

For starters, the windows and posters have seen their days that one might think that it is out of business, but it is in fact not and quite the opposite - tons of space inside! They have a variety of instruments and supplies, including a cleaning swab which I was looking for. And the plus is that they also offer music lessons in private rooms - even same day! I had an initial same-day oboe lesson with Phil, and we had great conversation. However, I have to admit that I didn't learn too much, and that we spent most of the time talking. The person working at the front was pretty chill, but paying for lessons wasn't very clear from the beginning - recommend being more specific with those. Their website is via Tumblr (?) which is a surprise. Lessons were $40 / session, and they recommend one session per week (but how long is a session?). Overall, I wish that there was more clarity on this side from time to payment the moment that we signed up. Parking was fairly easy to find on the street or in the lot in the back. However, do note that parking on the street is via metered parking and not free most hours. Return? Potentially for some music books!

I'm a pretty average guitar player. 13 years ago, I treated myself to a Martin HD28 guitar. I was…read morehoping it would make me a better player, but in reality it just allowed me to be just as average, but sounding much better. It's a great sounding guitar. I played the factory settings for all these years and thought everything was great. Then, I took it to Eric's for a setup. WOW. The guitar plays so much better all up and down the neck, is correctly intonated and even to my "average-guitar-player" ears, sounds even better. Eric treated me like a king. He's obviously someone who loves what he does and values all clients, whether they are pros are someone like me who just dabbles. GREAT job, thanks, Eric!

I have wanted to learn how to play the guitar for a very long time, but never took the time and was always too scared to start. First of all, Emma made scheduling lessons with her a breeze : she replied to my initial message very fast and our first lesson was scheduled within a week or so. Since then, she has always been very flexible to find the best time for our lessons. It's been very helpful with my busy schedule. Additionally, being a mom, I'm often tired and stressed out and Emma provides a relaxing and supportive atmosphere to learn. She always takes the time to see how I'm doing and adapts the expectations of the day in function of how I respond or feel. She is a very good people-reader and is very empathetic. As a professor, I know that it's not easy to be a good pedagogue who adapts to the learning style of his/her students. Emma figured out really fast what time of learner I was and adapted her teaching methods to my pace and the type of instruction I responded best to. She makes it easy to understand where to place your fingers, how to strum, and the best way to remember chords and transitions, etc. She is extremely patient but, at the same time, challenges you to always be better ! Overall, I've learned much much more that I could have ever expected in just one month. I missed a few lessons but I always feel like I'm progressing every time I see her. My goal is to sing and play with my dad in December and further down the road, to sing and play for my little girl - I totally believe that Emma will get me there ! If you are looking for a wonderful music instructor, look no further! You won't regret it :)

Stay away from this place!!!! No vayan a esta escuela!!! Es un fraude y solo le quieren quitar dinero. No es ningun programa del gobierno o comunidad. Le hacen firmar un contrato con un interes muy alto.
