The thing is, they have so much to chose from! I think the largest stores would be hard pressed to carry so much in stock. The place is messy. They don't deny it, and they apologize for it, but they are constantly getting stuff in and it all goes through the front door. So there is clutter. Get over it. It's not your home and the clutter won't hurt you. If you can't get over it, you will probably miss that really cool Uke or banjo tucked away underneath something that would have been your pride and joy. So, lots of stuff! The service is excellent. These are down home people and they want to make you happy! Imagine that these days. Profit isn't their only motive. They are knowledgeable and they don't pressure you. They are just as happy just talking about what they love; Music! These are nice people! If you are not a nice person; willing to accept them, then please act as though this review kills it for you. I wish nice customers on these folks! Yes, Yes, Yes, I recommend this Music Store to nice music people!

Bit of a disclaimer: I am not an employee, nor am I a stakeholder in the corporation behind this…read morebrainchild of rock & roll, and awesomeness. After my experience here, I want to open a franchise of my own one day soon! I am not exactly reflective of a typical student either - I'm in my mid 30s, where this school is clearly aimed at much younger students. Please don't be fooled though, it's not just for kids! If you've always wanted to learn an instrument, this is the place! If you're competent, but want to get better, guess what? They have you COVERED, my brother/sister of melting faces with godly rock. Let me tell you a little story, if you're entranced enough to absorb my words. When I started my tutelage at the Knoxville School of Rock, I was already fairly experienced - as I had been playing guitar, and playing it relatively well for 16 years, give or take a year. I have jammed with dozens of bands, recorded albums, played shows, and even zealously followed true masters of the instrument(guitar) like Buckethead, Richie Blackmore, Zakk Wylde, Joe Satriani, Steve Howe, and Yngwie Malmsteen. However, after all of my skill and experience, I managed to hit a wall. I was in a stylistic/creative and musical rut that I hadn't been able to break out of for years. Within a week or two, I was out of the rut, and I developed better abilities far faster than I had on my own while I was a student. That said, if you're into Nicki Minaj, or something similar, you'll be living your best life. Or whatever they say. If you dig Rush, Priest, and the Scorpions, you'll be living after midnight! Blues or jazz more your scene? You're all set. School of Rock paired me up with not one, but two highly competent teachers of a PERFECT skill level after talking with me on the phone for about ten minutes, if that. There is an unbelievable amount of skill and care taken in student placement, no matter your experience. As an aside for the parents who may be reading, the middle-school aged kids that had their own organized band practice sounded better than about 95% of the semi-professional bands that I have played in, so it's clear that the program works. Bottom line, if you're starting out, have kids, or have played live for years but want to get better, this is a company that cares, and they're worth the investment! Speaking of investment, the first lesson is free, so you know it's good stuff! :)

At least we weren't verbally assaulted. I was telling someone else about our experience there, and got an entire back story on the Anthony guy. He's not one I want to do business with.

She was extremely patient, had a good sense of humor, and seemed to know how to motivate young kids to practice. She was also very consistent in her teaching and emphasized concepts routinely so that children would learn good habits. As a parent, I particularly enjoyed the group lessons and seeing my kids playing with fellow students. They learned how to constructively critique themselves and each other, as well as lead songs effectively. My kids also enjoyed the camaraderie they had with the other young students and it became something familiar that they looked forward to. We found the studio very organized and we enjoyed the studio recitals immensely. Ms. Chae is a very warm teacher and I would highly recommend her studio to anyone --particularly beginners-- wishing to learn violin.
