They are also local, and have been my ideal instrument shop since I've moved to Stafford in 2022. The people who are usually there are respectful, kind, and overall friendly, and they even take the time to do menial tasks (that I myself would've been able to do, but I go here to do it all at once). Overall epic place, reasonably priced service, with a lot of friendly faces.

I am writing this review as I make the decision to no longer be a customer after more than one…read moreyear, in fact almost two years. We were very pleased with this store when my daughter began her saxaphone lessons. Her original instructor, Daniel, is awesome and for those continuing to do business with this store, I would highly recommend you seek Daniel out for saxaphone lessons. However, my daughter came home crying after her second lesson with a temporary instructor, Joshua Barnes, on 4/16. After getting her side of the story, confronting the instructor and speaking with management, we've made our decision to not return. I recognize that I may be biased and taking my daughter's side but knowing that we've never had any issues with other people, activities, business, or school, I find it hard to not believe my daughter. -She was talked down to, belittled, and made feel very uncomfortable. -Words that were used: "you should quit," "you need to quit," you're never going to learn" were used. -Tapping a pen/pencil on the easel consistently to create stress did not help out the situation. -Not giving her a break when she shed tears did not help the situation. -Extending her session in that environment did not help the situation. -Joshua's tone and actions were not conducive to a learning environment. While I can admit that this is a "he said, she said," situation, Joshua acknowledged that he constantly clapped his hands in my daughters face. When I questioned Joshua about this tactic, his response was that this method is used to get a student to change their behavior to learn the piece or words to that effect. The point was that he confirmed he clapped in my daughter's face. When Joshua was questioned about explaining why my daughter came home crying, his response was to point out that the piece was too difficult for her and that the band director or any band director should never give students at her level a piece that difficult and that's why she was struggling. If my daughter knew the piece, she wouldn't be taking lessons. It's also not his job to decide what students are given or not. Your job is to teach and his actions clearly showed he is not ready to teach young students. I should have also addressed why my daughter felt uneasy after their first session. I recognize that I cannot go back in time and I hope that my daughter isn't hiding anything from that session. When speaking with the store manager, his message was more along the lines of being concerned for his staff due to my actions in the store and not how things would be rectified or being concerned for how my daughter was impacted. Over the course of almost two years, we've never had an issue with the staff or Daniel, my daughter's original instructor. This new instructor shows up and we have issues. I'd second guess my decision of having hired Joshua. I am also now taking the position of empowering and encouraging my daughter to not ever let that happen again. She should have walked out of that session, but felt embarrassed or frightened. Do not let Joshua Barnes instruct your young children. I'd question management on who he really cares for.

Mariah has been an incredible teacher for her and has really helped her blossom. I was skeptical that you could do music lessons online, but the results speak for themselves. The student recitals always highlight how much growth Mariah is able to foster in them, even helping the really shy ones develop stage presence and confidence. Mariah is a delight to work with, and has such a strong connection with her students. I'd highly recommend her to anyone, without reservation.

The refund falls under the previous owner, who has not responded to the email I sent. I let the current owner know and she is currently trying to reach out to the previous owner.
