Their guitar instructor, Dave, is truly one of a kind. He has an incredible ability to connect with kids, make learning fun, and build real confidence through music. My son Tristan absolutely loves his lessons and especially enjoys playing bass with Dave -- it's become something he genuinely looks forward to every week. Dave's patience, encouragement, and passion for music shine through in every lesson. You can tell he cares not just about teaching notes and technique, but about inspiring creativity and helping students fall in love with music. The entire staff has always been welcoming and supportive, creating an environment where beginners and young musicians feel comfortable and excited to learn. Seeing Tristan grow more confident and excited about music has meant a lot to us as parents. We're incredibly grateful to Dave and the Palm Desert Guitar Center team for making music such a positive part of his life. Highly recommend to any family looking to get their kids started with music or anyone wanting a great instructor!

I have a kind of set up that I wanted to ask about but I can't get past the people in front. All I get is "A set up is 75.00." For some reason they won't allow me to talk with him. Guess I'll take my money elsewhere. Twice is enough.

He is full of stories and very personable, and had plenty of helpful tips along the way for caring for my guitar.

They've got loads of vintage equipment, guitars, amps, and gear that you just don't see in big-box stores. If you're into classic tones and retro pieces, this place is a dream to browse. The vinyl selection is especially impressive -- a solid mix of classic rock, jazz, blues, and deep cuts that make crate-digging actually fun. You can tell real care goes into curating what's on the shelves. Bonus points for the location -- it's walking distance to the village, so it's easy to make this a stop while you're out exploring. Whether you're a serious musician, a vinyl collector, or just someone who appreciates a true old-school music store, Village Music is absolutely worth the visit. Highly recommend supporting this local staple!

My lesson was with Felix and we chatted for a few minutes and then he wanted to see where I was as far as BEGINNER skills. We went through some basic things, cords, leads, a touch on theory. We chatted about the guitar(s) I have at home. Felix not only made me feel good about what I've done on my own but really gave me some great idea on things to do at home. Felix showed me how easy it was to move from a basic pentatonic scale to actually creating some leads over a track and more! I wish I could say I got my money's worth, but the lesson was free! I left with more confidence than when I went in and plan to set up some hour lessons with Felix. THANKS FELIX!
