Emmanuel teaches various instruments to both adults and children, and he is very kind and so great in teaching and encouraging my son during lessons. Wile Emmanuel will choose certain songs and beats for learning purposes, he also allows my son to choose songs he wants to learn, and Emmanuel will even write out the music for the song if he doesn't already have it. Emmanuel is an amazing teacher and musician and because he can play multiple instruments, he will often play guitar along with a song my son is learning, which is not only a lot of fun for my son but helps with his drumming. If you are looking for drumming or guitar lessons, this is the place to go to!

I read the negative review…read moreabout her on this page and was discouraged when she was appointed to teach my son due to that negative review but the coordinator told me that she would be the best fit for my son! And man was she right!! Ms. Sophia is talented, patient, enthusiastic and my son absolutely loves going to music lessons with her. He only goes once a week but every day he doesn't go he asks if we could go see Ms. Sophia. She makes learning fun for him and he is loving his music lessons. I am so very happy she was the teacher assigned to us. Please don't let the 1 negative review about her timeliness discourage you. She has always been timely and absolutely wonderful! Couldn't ask for a better fit as an instructor.

Sure, it's their right but I always find myself thinking, "If I owned a store, I'd be happy to open for those early bird customers!" Well, turns out Ozzies did just that for me this week and I appreciate it! I was a full half hour early and actually expected to have to come back when I realized their hours. Tristan was just coming into the store with his keys and invited me in while he looked to see if he had the product I wanted. I stood at the door, thinking he was just going to tell me yes or no, and then I'd still have to come later to buy what I needed. Nope, he found my item and then rang it up for me. Tristan, you rock!!!! Truth is, I've been using this store since long ago when I taught piano lessons, and then taught elementary school music and then had my own three kids taking a variety of lessons. We've rented instruments from Ozzies, taken lessons in the studio, and purchased all manner of music and accessories for whatever instrument has been being learned in our household. Through all these years and all these dealings, I've always found the people in the store to be knowledgeable and efficient. Now that my kids are grown, I'm retired, and I live in another state most of the year, I haven't had as much need for Ozzies...that is, until I took on a few short term piano students this summer. Thank you Ozzies and thank you Tristan for making my work easier by having what I need to teach and for being so kind to me. I'll be back!

Bertrand's Music already did a great job marketing last year to introduce the kids to various instruments, and to provide parents with information about how to secure rental instruments and lessons. The fliers and information were helpful to return to this location. We were fortunate to identify a couple of violins from close friends but they desperately needed restring and repair. We came in Saturday to meet Troy - who was the nicest young man to help us identify the services needed. He provided detailed information about timeline and quote and made the whole experience painless. Mind you~ this is their busiest season at the start of the school year. Even though the building was filled with families, students, crying babies, and various instrument noises.. Troy provided top notch service and executed all needs without a hitch. We submitted instruments on Saturday and received a detailed telephone call by Monday to retrieve the instruments. Even upon return, we had the high fortune of meeting with Troy again. One of his fellow associates (newer in her training) helped us at first. Troy came to the rescue to help clarify the transaction, identified a computer error in billing, and skillfully provided us with the close of transaction needed. He went above and beyond to then offer to tune the instruments using one of their tools behind the counter (and he doesn't even play violin! just knows the ear and use of equipment). The violins sounded lovely. I never met this young gentleman before, but if Troy is the standard of hiring at this type of establishment, he has secured my business and my recommendation to come back to this Bertrand's. He was kind, well informed, and efficient. I was able to have two instruments repaired, tuned and timely prepared for the this wretched band season (I have two very excited musicians and a new box of earplugs.) The prices were reasonable and the service quick. He couldn't have provided better service. Be sure to ask for Troy when you return if you need anything related to music service needs. He made the experience fantastic and we will return and recommend.

Bertrand's Music is a music store focused on "school band & orchestra sales, rentals, lessons, and…read morerepair," as stated on their website. Our middle school band teachers works with Bertrand's Music exclusively and I understand that they trust them. The store itself looks nice. They had some instruments for sale displayed, along with music books. They have rooms for lessons in the back. The parking lot is usually congested though and parking is not easy. Our experience is only with getting an instrument repair quote from them. I'm sure the lessons and rentals are just fine here, but we would not exactly recommend Bertrand's for repairs, especially if you weren't even referred to come here by your school band for an instrument that belongs to the school. They have to ship out the instrument somewhere off site to even give us a quote, and we had to wait ten business days just to hear back that the instrument was unsalvageable and not worth repairing. They were unable to provide us with any written detail of what exactly needed to be repaired and what the cost would be. I'm not sure why they do it like this, because it appears a bit unprofessional. If you're looking for someone to repair a specific instrument that you own, we don't think this is the perfect place to bring it. It would probably be best to find someone who specializes in repairing that instrument to do it on site. Repairs were just one aspect of their business and it's technically a relationship between the school band and Bertrand's, so it didn't bother us. The staff were very nice and accommodating, and we appreciated that. They provided us with a receipt that the school needed, and it was as simple as that. Thank you!
