I started at HAA a couple years ago with no experience in voice or any instruments. Couldn't read…read moremusic. I started voice with Logan who I believe is no longer there. He wasn't far off my age so I was more comfortable with this teacher. However after his leaving I had stopped voice and tried another studio that was recommended to me by a friend. I immediately noticed the difference in experience. While he was close to my age, did know what he was talking about. He was still learning to teach it. He had me singing in an upper range and told me that a lower range was out of my range. The teacher I have now has my singing in the right range. While I loved Logan and enjoyed his classes I felt as though I want learning as quickly as I would have liked to. This also could have nothing to do with him and the fact lesson time was only once a week for 30 minutes and $45 a lesson... pretty expensive but as a young adult with no real responsibilities I could afford it. I noticed with my new voice teacher he was able to quicker recognize some of my problems and help me get to a quicker result. I feel over time Logan would have been able to do the same. Just lack of experience in teaching. Fast forward a year in. I started taking violin lessons there as well. I started lessons with Colin. He was a bit odd to me at first but I really loved having him for a teacher. I picked up pretty quickly and he would show me good bow exercises and helped me learn to read music. A very knowledgeable man! I was offered extended lesson time (45 minutes instead of 30) while it was obviously more expensive that way the extra 15 minutes was definitely worth it. We would spend some of my lesson time discussing the history of violin and older classic violinists. He knows his stuff! These lessons are very expensive $65 a lesson once a week for a 45 minute lesson, however what I am learning and how I'm progressing is definitely worth it. He is an excellent teacher. I had to stop for a short period of time due to medical reasons. But they were aware and I will soon be starting my lessons up with Colin again and can not wait. My thoughts over all for this business are that I feel it is more like a business and less like a "family" of that makes sense. Like I had mentioned I take voice lessons elsewhere and dance lessons elsewhere as well and both of my teachers are their own small business who really cares for their students and has a passion for what they do. While I believe that HAA teachers may like or love what they do there is definitely a difference. I still enjoy going. The women at the desk always know me by name when I come in which makes it feel a little nicer. I just wish it was less run like a business and a more a little homier? I guess? Just my own personal opinion.

After a…read moreweek of searching and speaking with many different private teachers, I was thrilled to have found Spotlight Music! It was love at first lesson. I have been with Lisa Z. taking private lessons at Spotlight for 11 months and it has been a fun and rewarding experience. Lisa and her staff are very friendly, extremely motivating and talented. I was invited to play first Winter Recital after 30 years and now an adult! At first I was nervous at the thought but once I arrived at the venue, I felt comfortable seeing Lisa and staff. They are so supportive and away went the nerves. It is a great feeling to leave my lessons with a smile from ear to ear, laughter in my heart and a feeling of accomplishment. Spotlight Music is #1 in my heart and I can't think of life without them! Thanks Lisa!

Even though they were two hours from my home in New York, they were absolutely worth the drive. Before making my purchase, I called with a few questions and found them to be more than helpful. When I arrived, my bass was ready and set up perfectly. The entire staff -- including the owner -- was amazing. They took the time to talk with me, made me feel welcome, and even offered me a cup of coffee. I honestly haven't received this level of service or felt this appreciated in a music store in over 25 years. Their selection of new and used guitars rivals the legendary guitar shops that once lined 48th Street in NYC. And for bass players especially -- they have well over 100 used and vintage basses in addition to their new inventory. Flemington Guitar Shop is definitely worth a visit. I know I'll absolutely be back!

They even Moxy'ed a guitar I previously owned and put a new Moxy neck, new Benson pickups, new hardware and some custom touched with LEDs...now its 1000 x's better. These guitars are not just incredible instruments, they are pieces of art created by talented luthiers/musicians that know how music should be played and heard.
