She is very positive and gives him lots of good coaching in a way that isn't overwhelming. Because of his lessons here, he had the confidence to sing in his school's talent show, which has further boosted his confidence in general. He also joined a US Music Lessons rockband that has an instructor. A convenient factor is that you can do lessons online if your kid is feeling under the weather or you are out of town. Cody is a very friendly administrator who helps with scheduling and is always pleasant. I highly recommend the team!

Bertrand's Music already did a great job marketing last year to introduce the kids to various instruments, and to provide parents with information about how to secure rental instruments and lessons. The fliers and information were helpful to return to this location. We were fortunate to identify a couple of violins from close friends but they desperately needed restring and repair. We came in Saturday to meet Troy - who was the nicest young man to help us identify the services needed. He provided detailed information about timeline and quote and made the whole experience painless. Mind you~ this is their busiest season at the start of the school year. Even though the building was filled with families, students, crying babies, and various instrument noises.. Troy provided top notch service and executed all needs without a hitch. We submitted instruments on Saturday and received a detailed telephone call by Monday to retrieve the instruments. Even upon return, we had the high fortune of meeting with Troy again. One of his fellow associates (newer in her training) helped us at first. Troy came to the rescue to help clarify the transaction, identified a computer error in billing, and skillfully provided us with the close of transaction needed. He went above and beyond to then offer to tune the instruments using one of their tools behind the counter (and he doesn't even play violin! just knows the ear and use of equipment). The violins sounded lovely. I never met this young gentleman before, but if Troy is the standard of hiring at this type of establishment, he has secured my business and my recommendation to come back to this Bertrand's. He was kind, well informed, and efficient. I was able to have two instruments repaired, tuned and timely prepared for the this wretched band season (I have two very excited musicians and a new box of earplugs.) The prices were reasonable and the service quick. He couldn't have provided better service. Be sure to ask for Troy when you return if you need anything related to music service needs. He made the experience fantastic and we will return and recommend.

Bertrand's Music is a music store focused on "school band & orchestra sales, rentals, lessons, and…read morerepair," as stated on their website. Our middle school band teachers works with Bertrand's Music exclusively and I understand that they trust them. The store itself looks nice. They had some instruments for sale displayed, along with music books. They have rooms for lessons in the back. The parking lot is usually congested though and parking is not easy. Our experience is only with getting an instrument repair quote from them. I'm sure the lessons and rentals are just fine here, but we would not exactly recommend Bertrand's for repairs, especially if you weren't even referred to come here by your school band for an instrument that belongs to the school. They have to ship out the instrument somewhere off site to even give us a quote, and we had to wait ten business days just to hear back that the instrument was unsalvageable and not worth repairing. They were unable to provide us with any written detail of what exactly needed to be repaired and what the cost would be. I'm not sure why they do it like this, because it appears a bit unprofessional. If you're looking for someone to repair a specific instrument that you own, we don't think this is the perfect place to bring it. It would probably be best to find someone who specializes in repairing that instrument to do it on site. Repairs were just one aspect of their business and it's technically a relationship between the school band and Bertrand's, so it didn't bother us. The staff were very nice and accommodating, and we appreciated that. They provided us with a receipt that the school needed, and it was as simple as that. Thank you!

There are many more positive reviews for Mr Khoi under "not recommended" - it's Yelp's automated…read moresoftware and there's nothing that can make those reviews active!! yelp is terrible! ---- Our twins have been studying piano with Mr. Khoi for the past 7 years. Looking at the "then and now" photos (then age 5, now age 12) makes my heart smile. We went from using a simple keyboard, to making the decision to haul my childhood baby grand across the country from my parents' home, because my children really love music. Khoi sets realistic expectations and teaches to each child's ability. He encourages them to practice, be committed and do their best, but isn't too strict or stern to make them want to quit. One of my children is naturally more gifted at piano than the other, and Khoi never makes the child with less natural ability feel badly. He always stresses that it's not how advanced you are, it's how the music makes you feel when you play -- if it brings a sense of happiness, joy, peace, calm.. and you're enjoying it, then that's all that matters. Khoi is a wonderful instructor and we feel so blessed to have found him so many years ago. He has helped cultivate my children's love of music and our family really loves having the beautiful melodies from the fill our home

We wanted to look for a teacher who participates in this program. Khoi has been involved heavily in the Guild for many years. From the initial contact, Khoi was very pleasant and answered all of my questions. He also asked a lot of questions to make sure he understood what level the kids were at. Khoi is an excellent teacher, the kids love him. He's very detail oriented and very clear on his expectations for the kids. He gives us updates on their progress and what they need to work on. Khoi is very punctual and reliable, which I appreciate, as that was a problem with our previous teacher. I highly recommend Brightstar PianoForte Studio.
