I left a message asking about sound healing instruments. I've been to crystal shops, spiritual…read moreshops, and metaphysical shops. But, some offer some, but not other items. I thought I'd tried a musical instrument store as well. The owner Jen called me back, and even though she doesn't have sound healing instruments, she gave me recommendations of places to contact. She also is checking with someone that might have one of the specific instruments I'm looking for second hand. We shall see. Not everyone takes the time and effort to help others, and just kind of says no they don't have it, and moves on with their day. She is my kind of people. Anyway, I recommend her place of business just for being kind, and helpful.

He teaches all genres of guitar music and whatever song I want to learn, he shows me how to play it.

Marc is a very devoted, patient, and valuable teacher.

I've been there three times and, despite being the only person there and being there for 20…read moreminutes, no one said a word to me. No "hi" "how can I help you" "what are you looking for", anything. In fact, it takes 10 minutes for an employee to even come out. I get that they teach lessons, but if you double as a store, you should also have a designated employee at the counter, at least to prevent theft. As a drummer, their selection of sticks is pitiful. As a Promark user, the fact that they only sell Vic Firth irks me and they're always out of 5A sticks. As far as practice pads, they only have the Evans Realfeel pad, which has way too rebound for my liking. They also charge more for it than I've seen any other retailer charge for it. Granted, it's a $5 difference ($25 as opposed to $20), but still. Their selection of drumheads was decent, at least carrying more than just Remo. Their selection of guitars looked a little better, but I'm barely even a novice in the guitar world, so I couldn't tell you for certain A little wider variety of products and a little more hospitality is all they need to add, but those are pretty sizeable omissions, so that's why I'm rating them unfavorably.

West Valley Music Center is an excellent place for instrument rentals and lessons. Their…read moreinstructors are highly qualified and professional. I purchased two guitars from the center which were sent to me at my residence in NY. I dealt with Jeff, the owner, who could not be more helpful in helping me select exactly what I was looking for and more importantly exactly what I needed. Jeff, himself an accomplished and knowledgeable musician, takes great pride in the success of all of his students and goes out of his way to address any issues that may occur during the learning process. His rates are extremely competitive and as previously mentioned he will help you select not only the instrument that you want but more importantly the instrument that you need. Musical proficiency is an art that requires patience, practice and encouragement. At West Valley you get all of that and even more. Highly recommend

I rented a saxophone here for my son. We got a beat up old thing which I wasn't too happy about but…read moresince my son was just beginning, I thought it would be ok. Well after a few months things started just falling off the instrument and my son couldn't hit some of the notes because it was in such bad condition. Then a piece kept falling off so we finally took it in for repair. The owner, Jeff (I believe) took one look and started accusing my son of denting it and not taking care of it. He exclaimed that the instrument was like new and my son created all these new dents! I honestly couldn't believe how he was accusing my son, all arrogant and condescending. Telling my son how irresponsible he was! How would he know, Jeff wasn't the person that rented us the beat up old instrument in the first place. He never inspected it, and this instrument was a piece of crap when rented to us! Because I had the insurance, I paid the $50 deductible for the repair and they gave us another instrument. One that was in better condition (but not great). But my son still had trouble with it and he still couldn't hit some of the low notes. My son started to get discouraged and thought about switching instruments (to trumpet) because he thought he was a terrible saxophone player. My son told me all the other students had really nice saxophones rented from Nick Rails. So we decided to switch. When we turned in the crappy saxophone, Jeff then accused my son of denting this saxophone! The dent was there previously but Jeff refused to acknowledge that and insisted (quite rudely) that my son dented it. Then he exclaimed the sax was corroded! It was NOT. Can you believe this guy? He took my deposit for this and I was so sick of dealing with this rude, arrogant guy over the past several months I didn't bother arguing anymore. I'm so glad we took our business elsewhere. Nick Rails in Agoura Hills rents superior good quality instruments. My son is so happy with his new sax from Nick Rails. He can hit all the low notes, no problems at all. The issue wasn't my son's skills, it was those crappy instruments from West Valley Music Center!

What an absolute gem of an instrument shop that I feel so fortunate to have come across. I went in…read morebecause I'm potentially on the market for an upright bass, and I cannot express how glad I am I stopped by here. Not only do they have an incredible selection of beautiful instruments, but owners there are such phenomenal, down-to-earth, compassionate people. Nicky was in the store helping me out, and they spent so much time allowing me to try all the different instruments and talking me through them and answering my questions. The shop also has a rental option as well where 50% of the rent goes towards an instrument of your choice (doesn't have to be the rental). If you're looking for a high quality instrument with amazing service, this is the place to go. Could not recommend them more highly!
