I am an adult, professional performing artist, and I've been a student at FMS since 2001, taking…read moreprivate voice lessons and singing with the"Better Than Sum" choir. As a professional Actress and Vocalist, I often audition in Boston and NYC to be considered for various roles in musicals on and off Broadway. A few years ago, I received a call-back audition for a leading role in a new musical show. Exciting, but it was in NYC and I had less than a day to prepare for the audition (let alone book a ticket for the train and reserve a hotel room!). I called the owner of FMS, Lynne, and she was able to help me polish my piece that night! Although I realized that it wasn't a common request, and I didn't expect that I would be able to get an impromptu lesson at such short notice, she said to come to the school right away and worked with me so that I was better prepared and I had a fantastic audition! Filedheacht Music School cares about their students and they want you to succeed wherever you perform. The instructors are honest with us. Nobody goes home after a lesson with a beefed up ego unless they earned it.

Lesson 4 we where on time but he wasn't there, he shows up 20 minutes later and says Oh I thought you weren't coming? VERY UNPROFESSIONAL IT SAY THE LEAST...............

He is such a good teacher, very patient, focusing on all aspects of learning the instrument, with a very strong emphasis on technique. It's a blast! I encourage anybody who wants to learn an instrument to give it a try. You don't have to be a kid to learn something new, I'm 60 and it's very satisfying to be doing something different and fun!! Go for it!

I've never been steered wrong, oversold, or disappointed with their work. The expertise is endless! I was in an again recently, and happy to see not much has changed. I'd say if you want Guitar Center, go to Guitar Center. If you want individual attention, and a couple lifetimes of expertise, go see the Doc. If you want to support the Walmart of music, that's ok. Sometimes I do, too. But, if you want to shop local, support local businesses, and enjoy the mom-and-pop charm, go see the Doc. Reading the reviews here leaves me scratching my head. The one who had their bass setup done, came back a month later with questions and they didn't remember them...Ok. That's a 1 star review? Like, was there an actual problem? And, if there was a problem, did you have your receipt? Cause, I'm pretty sure they're not going to remember setting up your new bass a month later at Guitar Center, either. Or, maybe there is just more to that story... If you're on the fence, go check them out for yourself. Chances are good you'll think they're pretty cool, too.

Recently moving to the area I searched for a reputable music instructor for my two children. I…read morefigured this would be it. The sales floor is very spacious and has a lot of guitars. That's about all that they have is guitars. Sheet music for days and a few dated keyboards is what they have to offer. I checked their prices against Guitar Center and it's a lot more expensive! The music teachers are mediocre, nothing great. One complaint that I have is that the music teacher kept cancelling his appointments. At one appointment he didn't bother to even call and cancel. We showed up and they said he was on vacation! Really?! It seems as if this place is poorly managed and it's too bad. It has a nice look and feel, but don't be fooled. I'd rather travel to Braintree and try Guitar Center, or search for a private teacher.

I too am very happy that Central Music became Central Music II. The new owners are very…read moreintelligent, and are really well-educated, astute musicians and teachers themselves with many years of community service & performance and teaching experience. The pricing of instruments and rentals is in line with or slightly more affordable than what I've experienced at other area music retailers. They seem happy to do repairs. Some places will only repair stuff they sell in their own shop, but CMII is fine with repairing just about any piece of equipment. I believe that CMII is going to make great contributions to the cultural health and quality of life of Brockton and the surrounding area.

I was about to buy an expensive guitar and instead, I left very shortly after he said that. I vow never to return and never to buy anything from him on Reverb.
