I remember picking her up after a couple lessons and I could see that her confidence was shot-- mind you, my daughter is not bad at music. My daughter loves to improvise and grew up in a jazz household. The teacher, whoever she was, clearly felt compelled to talk to her like an animal that needed to be civilized. She is very soft spoken and humble. There is a clear lack of emotional responsibility from the leadership. If you are a parent of a POC child I do not recommend this place at all. There are other competent music studios that will happily and with some kind of grace accommodate for your children.

Michael has been my guitar instructor for four years. I started out only wanting to learn how to…read moreplay AC/DC. I was completely and absolutely uninterested in anything else. With Michael as my music/guitar instructor, my musical tastes have completely exploded so that I now totally enjoy and play classical pieces(Bach, Mozart, Carcassi), Country(Johnny Cash, etc), all classic rock(including all AC/DC!!). I have learned how to practice, what to practice, and how to have fun and really want to practice, from ground up. I have learned all the Modes, harmonic and pentatonic scales, how to finger pick, how to play rhythm, how to solo, how to actually read music, and how to appreciate the guitar and music as an fulfilling journey each step of the way. As a music instructor Michael has a customized game plan specifically for each individual student. He has a great sense of humor, has tremendous patience, and is easy to talk to. He is an extremely skilled and devote guitar player and working musician. His lessons are a great value. He is very flexible with lesson times and each hour is start to finish guitar. There is zero waste of time. Michael is serious about the guitar as a voice and now so am I. I absolutely recommend Michael as a music/guitar instructor. He has opened my eyes to a whole new exciting world.

Confused, and slightly pissed off: A week before my wedding…read moreI called to ask about rentals, the person I spoke with on the phone was confident in everything I was interested in, and quoted $550 for the rental. He also mentioned that this specific store was well stocked and I didn't need to make a reservation, so I didn't. A week later (two days before my wedding), I go in person to make the actual rental. Here is where things get interesting. They told me they don't usually rent out wireless mics, I needed two of them, they also didn't have the mixing board I wanted (Model-12 with SD Card recording capabilities). Fortunately they were able to pivot and rented me some new gear that worked well, but they charged $700 for the rental, so whoever I spoke with on the phone either wasn't well informed, or didn't calculate the rental properly, either way, the additional $150 ($300 with the deposits) didn't result in customer happiness. They assured me that all of the gear was checked ahead of time, and everything was ready to be used. They also said they would throw in a couple extra XLRs Incase anything wasn't correct. This was not the case. I should have counted the XLRs because I thought I was renting 10, and there were only 9 in the package, and to top it off, 3 of them didn't work. The band had to literally drive into town and buy 4 additional XLRs. This is unacceptable, and one of the main reasons why I'm writing this review. Not to get petty, but the batteries were also dead in the wireless lav mic, and one of the four mic stands (see photo) was broken. Again, Unacceptable. Other than that, the sound was great, and the wedding was incredible. Okay, after the wedding, I go back and drop off the rental. I explain all of these issues and they say "oh sorry about that", then I ask "what can be done to protect the customer from this happening? You have rental insurance to protect the gear, but is there not any security or compensation to the customer if the gear doesn't work?" ... then they took off an additional $50, which is fine and all, but doesn't even cover the additional expenses of the 4 new XLRs or batteries I had to buy. Kind of a long story, but all in all, seems like there are some systemic things that need to be worked on, specifically in the gear checking, and customer guarantee areas.
