He is honest, knowledgeable and just an all-around great guy. He knows his stuff.

Gary's handmade guitars are absolutely beautiful (please visit his website) so I contacted him about my setup. Gary is very personable, a perfectionist in his work, and reasonably priced. I won't hesitate to take my bass back to him for anything else I need. If you need any work or repairs done on your guitar/bass, please give him a call. Not only will you be supporting a local small business, you can't get the same attention to detail and quality from a big box/chain store as you will from Gary.

I had enrolled my sons at another local music school for guitar and drums. I fell for the buy three…read moreget one free, etc. After a while I felt like they were not progressing, and there seemed to be a real lack of professionalism in not only the teachers, but also the management. So I started looking elsewhere. After a lot of research I called Grosse Pointe Music Academy. The staff was very professional and was able to answer all of my questions. All of the instructors either have a degree in music or are working toward their music degree - unlike other "schools" where apparently being in a band qualifies you to teach music! The location looks and feels like a music school, with sheet music books and an understandable billing system - a far cry from whatever was going on at the other place (Axis!) where you never saw any sheet music and you felt like the manager found the instructors by cruising local bars - "hey dude, you can play guitar, do you wanna teach?" I am excited for their June recital! I would highly encourage anyone to give them a try.

The teachers are engaging with both the kids and parents and teach us about the fundamentals of music while having a ton of fun! The location is also perfect for kids and during class the kids are free to move and play with each other and the parents. Music Together is a great program, but Hummingbirds Together makes it even better with great teachers! As my daughter ages I will look to the Canton Music Academy for additional music classes as well since the teachers are of such a great caliber.

It's an hour and a half drive for me but I'm a repeat customer and knew the drive would be worth it. Honestly...I have no real idea what makes a guitar sound/feel better, but they sure do.

I rarely post review, but I was treated so poorly by Piano Nation I felt obliged to warn others. I…read morepaid them $1500 to move a piano into one of two trailers I have. The first, a standard 5x8 enclosed Uhaul trailer which they said should work. Unfortunately, due to the additional size of their pallet it would not fit in the opening. The second was a very large toy hauler trailer but they said there was no way to secure the piano to the trailer. This all took about an hour of discussion. I was very pleasant and accepted that it was not going to happen. The manager then called me and said they were charging me a service call fee of $350. when I told her I thought that was unreasonable she said too bad and hung up the phone on me. I was prepared to pay something reasonable like $200, but they refused to discuss. You don't need to use greedy businesses like this, there are other piano companies. To add insult to injury they said my Young Chang baby grand was in excellent condition and they would give me $750 For it.
