Shout out to Village Music in Zionsville!…read more A little more than a year ago K Ryan Blattner took on the dubious assignment of teaching me to play guitar. I came in cold with no background - just a middle aged dude with a goal to play an instrument. Bucket list. Needless to say, I was a charity case - lol. Like all of us, I also keep an overwhelming adult schedule - kids, job, and so on. Ryan's patience and ease each week offered me a 30 minute break from those real world commitments. And I'm proud to say I've learned to read music, strum a couple dozen chords, and even tackle a few songs - amazing. His family owned business nestled off of 421 puts the customer first. It's a great place for lessons, repair, and a variety of instruments at a fair price. Call to action: Get interested in music! Visit Ryan and his team, sign up for a no hassle lesson today.

Walking into About Music is a joy for those of us who have a serious interest in instruments. It's…read morea tiny store, but packed to the brim with various string instruments, mostly focusing on guitars and their cousins--mandolins, banjos, probably some ukeleles, etc. The owner is extremely helpful and will be glad to talk with you for a bit about anything music-related. If you're looking for instruction, you can either receive it here in the store (there are closet-sized, but serviceable, studios in the back), or the delightful owner will help you find it, if he doesn't already offer it on your desired instrument. Check out the harp in the front window. That's my favorite part!

One of my two "go to" music stores in the area (or anywhere, for that matter!), About Music is a…read moretrue treasure. Walking into the store is like into a music museum, and I mean that in only the BEST of ways. You'll find not only new instruments, but instruments of varying vintage. And it's not just guitars...you're likely to find a harp, or a dulcimer, or a dobro...or things I've never even heard of. Not only do they have a lot of merchandise, Robert knows about every piece in the shop. Friendly and helpful, I've found him to always go the extra mile to find that that special piece you're looking for. Drop by About Music. Plan to stay a while and just soak up the atmosphere. You'll not regret it.

I advise against B.O., as a voice instructor. She was unprofessional in her treatment of my child…read moreand me. More like a hateful person making nasty comments in front of us. If your child is curious about singing or wants to learn. Seek out a superior voice coach known for their positive reputation and exceptional teaching. This one bad experience damaged my child's confidence and desire for singing. A teacher should avoid being overly critical of a pupil who doesn't immediately meet their initial standards.

I haven't received my further instructions, just continued being charged with no response. I've paid for 6 lessons and received one. I'm going to have to cancel my bank card because no one will respond to me now that I no longer want services from an unreliable provider stealing from me. AVOID THIS PLACE

The owner is very kind as well as I visited this place to try out a pedal for the first time and had two different employees come and teach me how to use them while also showing examples of how you can apply them to your playing, and I really appreciated that. It's about 45 minutes away from me, but it's always worth paying a visit. I need a new amp soon !

This week, they stepped up big time with a last minute rescue on a sizing error of mine with my kids cello. The communication from them has always been excellent. My impression is that they are committed to instilling an appreciation for music in young people. I love the community feel here and look forward to many more years of working with them.

As mentioned, the owner's a little quirky. I think he means well, but doesn't know as much about guitars as he'd like. And he gets pretty defensive if he's not the one in the know on something. That's not the end of the world. But it's an odd experience in an exclusively USED instrument store. Because those of us who have been playing and collecting for decades are going to come in and occasionally have a little more knowledge on something obscure they've got in, etc. If someone with gray hair who knows how to disassemble and review an instrument comes in, it behooves you to trust that he understands it. They stand by their own intake inspection to a fault. If you find something they missed on their intake inspection--even if it's glaring like the guitar doesn't make sound when plugged in--then you've got an uphill battle to prove your case even if you haven't left the store with the instrument yet. If you're looking for a deal on something generic, I think this place will get you through alright. If you're collecting, then this place is probably going to weird you out a little.
