The Bad: our instructor charged $52/hour, nearly twice the going rate for a 1 hour lesson, and he didn't take much time to find out what my son already knows.

Their vision of creating an inspiring space for teaching and learning music of all kinds, has blossomed into a community of active performing musicians and aspiring musicians of all ages. The Music Lab offers private musical instruction in most every instrument and style, and also has group programs available- such as Rock Lab (learn to play in a band), Grasshopper Lab (pre-K group music class, coming soon!) and our Summer Lab Camp (learn to play in a band/ensemble, record, and write original music). Students of all ages and ability levels are welcome! Music Lab hours vary daily and are set up 'by appointment' with each instructor/class. We accept cash, check, and online payments.

I called Jeff at ToneTron Amps and he fixed it right up for less than the price of a new subwoofer.

He also explained exactly what was wrong and showed me the blown parts that he had fixed. Now my speakers work good as new and I didn't have to throw a subwoofer into a landfill. Great job and I highly recommend Jeff to anyone looking for audio electronics repair!
