We're so lucky in PG to have this wonderful music store! They recommended my kid's violin teacher and we buy all our music books there. Very reasonable prices, great selection, and incredibly kind and knowledgeable staff. My child plays the flute and the violin and we've been very fortunate to have this place so close by; they also generously support local music studios putting on recitals and give the kids gift certificates for participating. We are lucky to have them. read more

The customer service at Bookmark Music was outstanding. Pamela worked with me closely over email and on the phone answering questions and facilitating an online order. When the product arrived and didn't match our needs she again worked diligently to help resolve and went above and beyond when we needed to do a return. I could see throughout the process that Bookmark Music really cares about their customers, which can be so rare these days. Support local businesses, support Bookmark Music! read more

An amazing little music store! I stopped in a while ago to get a guitar case, and the folks there were extremely helpful in picking out the right one, at a good price. They were also super helpful when I wanted to buy new strings! So friendly and knowledgeable. Great little shop!!! read more

Outstanding place to get print music of all kinds; most complete collection of classical music anywhere around. Plus they specialize in guitars and ukuleles. I wanted to give my wife a ukulele for her birthday. All three staff members spent a good deal of time on two occasions showing her instruments, explaining what the differences were, and answering questions. We've been very pleased with the instrument she finally settled on. It's also possible to arrange lessons through them. Don't be put off if the manager is a little brusque sometimes. She's very knowledgeable and helpful and will make sure you get what you need. read more

I stopped in looking for a piece of sheet music for the piano. One of the nice ladies helped me even though she thought from memory she didn't think they had it. Then she went the extra mile asking me to wait a minute or two - went around one of the tables looking through another section and not only found the song I was wanting, but it was in a used book with every other song of the musical - and - she sold it to me for much less than the sheet music for a single song would have cost. I love people who help customers and don't worry about the profit to them. I walked away very happy and will always go back and/or refer Bookmark Music when needing anything musical. read more

Bookmark music was recommended to me by my child's piano instructor I was really pleased with the wide selection of music books available They also have great customer service willing to help and share information read more

Great local business! Steve in the guitar section was great at changing guitar strings for my daughters Fender acoustic guitar. The ladies who work here are also very helpful and friendly . Lots and lots of sheet music for many instruments. Great little shop! read more

I called ahead to make sure that this store would be able to get my son's trumpet cleaned. They said yes just drop it off during business hours. Today I went into the store with my 12-year-old son and my seven-year-old daughter. We were immediately chastised for not putting sanitizer on our hands when walking in the front door. We walked immediately to the right and we're distracted by the great selection of beautiful socks. I apologized for not putting on sanitizer for myself and my children and there was no response from the woman working. She was pacing around the store for a while and I could tell she was in a bad space. My kids and I decided to give her some time to do whatever it was she was doing and we browsed around. My seven-year-old daughter picked up a magnet and was looking at it. The woman who was working stood about 10 feet away from her and screamed at her "you will have to buy that if you put it in your mouth! We can't sanitize that now! And pull your mask back up!" This item was not in my daughters mouth. In that moment I chose kindness and said "I'm sorry about that and goodbye" and we walked out of the store. My daughter is now upset and distraught over this stranger yelling at her. We are now at a time when masks are not mandated. My kids have been traumatized by the Covid pandemic and have had issues with masks/no masks rules, and a fear of and germs, so this interaction just worsens their experience. It was a great opportunity for me to open up a conversation with my children about not being reactive to other peoples negative energy. I'm very disappointed because I had heard great things about the store. I will never return and will spend my resources elsewhere. read more

This a great place for ukulele enthusiasts. They sell some quality made ukuleles off the shelf, however I am not familiar with the brands they seem for. I do not discriminate a finely made ukulele even though they are not a popular brand. The shop is well stocked with a friendly and knowledgeable staff. If you're looking for a good ukulele, they have some decently priced and high priced ukuleles to suit anyone's needs. They also have a bunch of accessories for your instruments as well. read more

Great selection and service. I felt safe in this store as they have very thorough COVID-19 safety measures. More importantly, they're very knowledgeable, helpful and friendly. read more

Was looking to order an instrument from their online store and called them for some information and Marsha was very pleasant to talk to. She also gave me a follow-up call a couple days later just like she said she would with some information about when they'd have something in stock. I don't expect that sort of service these days. I'm really impressed by their selection of sheet music and it's nice to find a place that takes ukuleles as seriously as they do. read more

Really nice owner. Very helpful. Great resources for local teachers and students. Basically every method book or solo collection you could want for kids prepping for Allstate, S&E, etc. they carry quality brands for accessories and have access to a Yamaha contract for instrument purchases - no junk. Cool vibe! read more

They Saved my choir-singing bacon ! I am a part time professional singer living in Marin and lost my beloved high end choir music folder of many years. Since an important musical performance event was coming up VERY soon, I called numerous stores in the Bay Area and could not find a Small World "The Black Folder Deluxe" , which is kind of the gold standard for sturdy work-horse professional singers folders. On what I thought was a very long shot, I gave a call to Bookmark in lovely Pacific Grove and talked to charming and witty Pamela who said, "Yup, Have it. No problem in shipping it Priority today and you'll have it in time!" Bippity boppity boom. Done. Thanks Guys. I'll have to come visit you very soon in person for sheet music and more. read more

This is a great shop with so much more than i had expected. I play guitar and every other place I tried to go to was out of classic Ernie Ball Slinky strings but she had some and my week was saved. I'd love to go back to see what else is there. read more

This is a GREAT music store. The people working there are the best - knowledgeable and fun. Yes, the proprietor has a sharp and sometimes sarcastic wit, but a heart of gold. Get to know this store. Their inventory is surprisingly deep and they'll order things they don't have. I used to travel to SF for music before Bookmark cade to town, but no longer necessary. read more

They have a huge selection of sheet music here. I was looking for a self-teach book on piano and after browsing awhile, the woman behind the counter asked if I needed help. She found me a really great book as soon as I told her what I was looking for. My complaint, however, was she made a pretty condescending comment after misunderstanding me. I had just told her I had somewhere to be so I might need to come back, but as I was flipping through the book, I said " well, now I'm not going anywhere!", to which she responded "well that's because you didn't read anything. It's not a picture book." What I had meant was that I was excited to find the right book for me and didn't want to leave, but after she'd said that, I was really ready to go. She wasn't particularly kind to me. I enjoyed the music selection, but I'm not in a rush to be talked to like that again. read more

An Excellent Store in All Ways - wonderful music for almost any instrument, fun children's books and music, socks, gifts, etc. The staff is very knowledgeable, helpful and friendly. They are a also a great community sponsor. read more

Bookmark is a little jewel of a shop offering an astounding selection of sheet music. Marsha also manages to find the most amazing little gift items for the musically inclined. If you are tired of finding exactly the same old stuff in every big box store in America, Bookmark is filled with charming things that will delight you. As well as that amazing selection of sheet music-who knew you could still buy sheet music! read more

I love to support local businesses and I also love to go into stores to see what I am shopping for rather than shopping online. I went with my three young children and the older lady there was just grumpy and rude. She is not good with kids at all. I found what I am looking for and will purchase online for my piano students. Too bad because the store has great merchandise. Customer service is everything to me and this place just lost my business. read more

The place to go for sheet music. Complete selection and if they don't have it, am sure they can get it for you. And, if you are looking for a gift for a music lover, they have tons of cutesy music items, like scarves, jewelry, xmas decorations, note paper, posters, and the little musical animal series (ex: Mozart Mouse, Beethoven Bunny, etc). Service was friendly. They also do mail order. read more

Wonderful local business with very helpful staff. They have a great selection of Ukuleles at all different price points. They also have all the accessories that you would need to get your career as a Ukulele master off to a good start. There are general books on the how to play and individual song and theory books by your favorite Uke stars. I know this because I have bought many of them!!! They also have what looks to be a great guitar section (I don't know too much about these)....They have a great in house ukulele/guitar teacher (Steve). He is my teacher and has brought me a long way in a year. I walked in about a year ago bought a ukulele and started playing. A landmark day for me.... read more

awesome variety of sheet music, very knowledgable and good-humored staff and great gifts (music boxes to Mozart dolls) for the music lovers.

I was completely unaware of this little store until recently when someone mentioned it. I lord it up and stopped by when I was in the area and will plan on going back. They had a varied selection of sheet music as well as lots of cute other music related merchandise. They also had leather music folders and music totes read more

Besides sheet music, this is s great place to get quirky gifts for musicians, Marcia is great. If she doesn't have something, she can order it or tell you where to find it. Patronizing local businesses means you get local know-how. read more
