The summer camps are a great way to start and music lessons are like therapy for anyone and the friendships created from the seasonal bands are forever!

Have been renting my daughter's viola from this store for the past 5 years. But today we finally…read morebought her a beautiful brand new viola that she can call her very own! And we paid 1 CENT! Not really lol but we had to be rung up in order to process the transaction and use the accumulated store credit balance to purchase the $1,000 instrument. We had an $1100 credit from renting all these years, and it finally paid off. I love that the money you are spending every month to rent can go toward purchasing an instrument one day. This was perfect because she outgrew several violas throughout the years and plus you never know if your kid is going to stick with playing the instrument. Now that she is pretty much full grown and had already committed to playing orchestra her last two years of high school, it was an awesome feeling to BUY her viola that she can love and cherish. Great customer service and we have never had any billing issues through the years. Great music store for students and young musicians. They also offer music and voice lessons. Definitely recommend!

Great place to go to rent instruments! My daughters each played a string instrument in elementary…read more Rather than shell out hundreds of dollars to buy one, I rented. Glad I did. One of them is no longer playing an instrument. The customer service is good. Sometimes they are slow if they're busy. And that's because they are giving each customer their 100% attention. I like that. They are hassle-free when it come to returns and repairs to. Since we rent, the labor for repairs is free. They will also tune your intrument for free. This is key. When one of my daughter's strings broke off her violin, all I had to do was pay the $1.50 for the string! They replaced it and tuned right on the spot. I bought my husband a keyboard from here a few years ago for Christmas. It was on sale too! Awesome deal! He was very happy with the gift. And I was happy with the price! Great place to go for instruments AND intructions too! Yelp! They offer music lessons and camps in the summer time.

We had a great experience with Milano Music Center with an online rental for both a school band and…read morean orchestra instrument. We knew they had the best instrument rental plan in Arizona because they had so many 5 reviews. They carry all the major brass and woodwind brands like Yamaha, Bach, Selmer, Eastman, and Backun. For guitars they carry Fender guitars and Gibson guitars plus Martin guitars and Taylor guitars. Since their HUGE music store is in Mesa and we live in Glendale the best part was we used their online rental service and they had an option to pick up the saxophone rental and violin rental at one of their 23 partner rental stores all over Maricopa County or one of their Educational Representatives could drop it off at the school for us. SUPER CONVENIENT! I highly recommend Milano Music Center !

As the mother of a musician, I've learned far more about instruments and accessories than I ever…read moreknew before. I still may not be able to identify everything, but I'm getting better. While I was in town visiting my son, he mentioned that there was a music store not far from us that he'd like to visit. I wasn't prepared for the size of this place-it's far more than just a "music store." He had a gleeful look of awe as he admired the selection of brass instruments and was able to play a few of them too. He'll be ready to make a purchase soon, so he wants to know for sure which one is just right. If you don't quite know what you're looking for, or need some elevated service, you might find someone, you might not. It's a more laid-back approach to customer service-we had to seek someone out for help. But I suppose I prefer that over an in-your-face sales person trying to close a deal.

RUDE AND UNPROFESSIONAL…read more I tried to call the business to inquire about guitar lessons for my daughter. On my first attempt, the call picks up but there was no intro from the person on the other end, so I said, Hello?" Then the person on the phone hung up abruptly. I call right back and a male's voice (assuming it's Jimmi) answers the phone with just, "Hello". No greeting or mention of his name. Confused and unsure I dialed the right phone number due to the off-putting greeting, I asked inquisitively, "Who is this?" Then he said very rudely, "What do you need?" Thrown off by the unprofessional response, I asked, "Are you the Guitar guy?" He replies, "Yeah, I'm not doing this!", then hung up on me. If Jimmi can be this impatient and unprofessional, imagine how he will be when it comes to your kids. You see only the rave reviews listed but what about the reviews that did not get publicized where he gave up on the kid and his mentoring was a ineffective? Look into more reputable guitar instructors rather than this bum.

I just left the Bookman's Store on Country Club and Southern, and I was abused and disrespected by…read moreone of their staff members. I was shopping, and waiting for my trade offer for some items I brought in. I asked to look at a Collector Comic Book that was locked in a case. I asked the staff member if I could take the book out and look a it because I wanted to make sure nothing was cut out of the comic. He immediately became defensive, and his attitude became hostile. I said "if there is anything cut out it's not worth $25 and I want to check. If I damage it while looking at it, I'll pay for it." His response wasn't helpful or understanding, it was pushy and abusive. "You should just get these while you see them. No one has these, and I've never seen one in our store since I've been here". I said "I have been collecting comics all of my life, and if there is anything cut out, it's not worth $10 to me". Again, instead of being friendly and asking anything helpful or asking questions, he was pushy and forceful, and became even more irritated when I pointed out the water damage on the back of the comic and told him I didn't want it. He was very unfriendly from the start. A toxic person, to be as kind as I can be. I received notice that my trade offer was ready, but I cancelled my trade offer, and walked out of the store with the items I had brought to trade. I WILL NEVER RETURN AS LONG AS THAT PERSON WORKS THERE. When I advised the staff of what happened, they seemed disinterested in doing anything. I asked them "how can you allow a person who treats customer this was to work here, and why would you want to work here if the business allows this?" They all looked at me with blank stares on their faces. A manager did talk to me, but it was the same attitude as the rude employee. He didn't introduce himself my name. He didn't try to find out the name of the employee. His attitude, like the rude staff member, was an attitude of not wanting to be there, an attitude of feeling irritated that they have to actually talk to a customer and assist them, an attitude of superiority and entitlement, an attitude that their customers do not matter to them and that they don't respect people in general. I advised their manager on duty that I work as a customer service consultant, and the employees treatment was unacceptable. He did offer complimentary credit, but did not indicate how much. I declined and told them honestly "I don't care if you pay me a Billion dollars in cash, I don't want it if that person works here. What he did was unacceptable and he should be fired". I am sure they won't do anything, and I want everyone to know that Bookman's is a TOXIC company who does not appreciate their customers, and they will screw you over and abuse you if you go there.
