http://www.pyramind.com/…read more With HUGE music studios becoming more and more obsolete these days, I think it's great that a place like Pyramind can embrace both paradigms. They teach classes on desktop music production, so that you can make tracks like the Chemical Brothers on the very computer you are reading this on. Yet when it comes to the fine tuning of your mix you can rent out their acoustically tuned mixing rooms, complete with Genelec HR monitors to make sure your music BUMPS! If you're a DJ that wants to produce or a beginning guitar student, you could learn a ton by taking their classes or you could study privately. They are hip to all the latest and greatest software and will show you how to use it to expand the melodic and harmonic qualities of your compositions, control the metabolism of your arrangements and hone the frequencies of your mix.

There is a hefty amount of age discrimination at this training facility. Even though the campus…read morewas filled with staff who bullied students, I left with what I needed. I first attended an online course at Pyramind and I was blown away by their knowledge of production methods and standards. After I attended the in class program and got to know the staff, I lost all respect for them. They would speak about former students, other industry experts, invited guests in a bad manner. They would always use the opportunity to put that persons knowledge down while elevating their appearance to the student body. Why am I giving them three stars? I left with the information I needed. Any time I see them out, I still shake their hands and say thank you because they gave me an insight to practices within the industry, I will never practice in my own professional career. Also, myself and many have found going to their online classes were a better experience than going to their classes in person. With the one star review, there used to be many stories similar to that gentlemen's but they recently wiped all the older reviews. Many of the 5 star reviews are either teachers or interns or people placed at a sister business.

Let me begin by saying that Ty Thorpe is the sweetest guy you could ever meet. Working with him was…read morea very cool experience. He was very patient, and took the time to make the edits that needed to be made. As far the owners are concerned, though, they were very unprofessional, disengaged and unaccommodating. Originally, Elton, one of the co-owners, agreed on me coming in at 10 a.m. to film my live video, but then he left town and had Nick, the other co-owner take over. Nick, then, last minute changed the time to 11:30 a.m. His attitude was not of someone who was concerned about moving the time, either. He more or so blew my needs off when I said I can not move the time and suggested I cancel the shoot when I had people to pay to come and record a video. This put me in a very difficult position because I had a shorter window of time to record the video. Thankfully, it worked out because my and my crew did the best we could with the time we had. Another concern of mine. Elton delayed the mastering of the song by a couple of weeks. He also did a very poor job on the final master. I had a very hard time getting a hold of this man. I kindly asked him to fix it. I even said I would pay, but he ignored all of my e-mails and phone calls. He delayed my project by about 2 weeks. Now, I have someone more reliable helping me. I have to say, I will never recommend someone to this place. If these gentlemen were professional and kind, they would have not only called me up to apologize, personally, but they would have given me a free recording. That is how you keep customers happy and have them coming back, again.

Breakthrough Moments From the Very First Lessons…read more I can't recommend Danielle LoPresti enough as a singing teacher. She is amazing--supportive, patient, and incredibly kind. Almost immediately after I started taking lessons with her, she helped me break through obstacles that I had struggled with my whole life. What I appreciate most is her holistic approach to singing. For me, it's about expression, not perfection, and Danielle truly understands that. She creates a safe environment where I never feel judged or rushed, which makes it much easier to explore my voice and grow with confidence. Another thing that makes her classes special is the community she has built among her students. She organizes opportunities for us to meet and perform, which is incredibly valuable. Watching and learning from others is inspiring, and it also reminds us that many of us share the same challenges--stage fright, nervousness, and sometimes the pressure of perfectionism. If you're looking for a supportive teacher who truly helps you grow as a singer and as a performer, Danielle is fantastic.

I've been unsuccessful with voice teachers in the past due to my nerves, but Tracy's inviting nature did not fail to wash that away!

The Consulate General of the Republic of Korea gifted us a beautiful black Yamaha piano in perfect…read morecondition. Since he is moving back to Korea, he hired Encore Piano movers to deliver the piano to our home. Their moving price was $430 and other comparable movers provided an estimate for $600. Since their price was competitively better, the Consulate went with this company. Encore Piano movers texted me that they were 30-40 minutes at 6:58am. I was in the back room breastfeeding babies and my husband was working from home, so we both had our hands full, but we were prepared for their arrival and to let them know where to place the piano. Just looking at the piano from standing in front of it, everything looked perfect. My husband briefly looked around standing up and walking around the piano, and didn't see any damages. He never thought of crouching down to look at the piano closely like an investigator (ie back and bottom corners of the piano). Well, the next day, I had help with the babies and cleaned the piano, and found several scratches and dents (even broken wood in the back upper corner!). One would never see this unless you looked closely. I am livid. I hired professional Yamaha piano cleaners and they can't believe how this perfectly maintained piano arrived to our home with dings and scratches everywhere. My husband and I called the company and texted the same number that had texted us, and no one responded. Extremely disappointed!
