I'm definitely wanting to make friends with them, and learn all I can about Ukuleles and playing Ukuleles. I purchased my Tenor Uke from them and I love it so much. I started playing Ukulele last year, and purchased several from different shops. Park in the alley, behind the place, go through the big iron gate, and find them to your left, just past the hair salon. I need some time to go in and hang out. These people are great! P.S. Friendliest service ever. Highly recommend. Highly. Highly. Did I say "HIGHLY" recommend? Because genuinely I do. This is the place, if you want to learn about Ukuleles. This is their life. They're also part of the Ventura Ukesters, a group of people who love to play Ukulele in Ventura County and do performances around the county. I just love that.

A year ago I obtained a cello and saw it as an opportunity to move forward on my wish. I was introduced to Hekar by a good friend who had been studying violin and guitar with him for 10+ years. I recently decided to start lessons (yes I am a total procrastinator). As an older adult student, I can't say enough good things about Hekar's approach. He is completely knowledgeable and thorough, and is providing me with all the resources and encouragement to advance at a comfortable pace. I'm feel completely motivated to practice, am learning so much and feel my musical knowledge growing - and it's so much fun. I feel that Hekar has EVERYTHING to do with this. I'm so glad I made this decision and hope to keep studying with him for a long time as well as gain proficiency to play 'ensemble'. I highly recommend him as a teacher- he's extremely perceptive and can relate to students on so many different levels. It's never too late to stretch and grow the musical you!

The music instruction is gentle and fun yet very thorough and comprehensive. My girls have learned to read music and write their own original compositions. In additon to piano instruction, they have also learned to play the recorder, a little bit of guitar, and use various percussion instruments in group ensembles. Over the past four years my girls have learned to play the piano beautifully and it is such a joy to hear their music throughout our home. Music will definitely be a life-long love for our family. Thank you CMA!

I think she's one of the owners and walked me through the store and explained all sorts of classes they offer. I'm interested in Tahitian workshop that they newly added and once I figure out my schedule I would love to join the class. She explained that all the instructors are very culturally correct and that's very important to me when it comes to learning. The floor has a pretty large space enough for probably 10-15 students to dance in. I would love to watch the drumming as well. As for the Tahitian class, I was told that they have anywhere from 5-10 drummers and that's very exciting! I can't wait to see/hear it soon! I parked in the next block but I saw plenty of street parking and it's right on Main St. and was easy to find. It totally took me instantly back to my Burning Man experiences...can't wait till that either...

She has a super positive attitude which makes my voice lessons fun and productive. Connie's most common students are learning piano/keyboard. I've watched her with children and she is excellent at keeping them interested in their work. I tutor kids myself, I can say she's really good at communicating and encouraging children. She teaches a lot of kids but I see adults there as well. One thing I really like to do is go to the recitals she hosts. At these recitals she allows the opportunity for her students to perform for an audience of parents, friends and peers. I've actually played my violin at one of the recitals and she allowed me to bring a bunch of friends so we could make up a band! For singing and piano lessons, I totally recommend Paradise Music Academy!

My family bought various instruments for twenty years from Henson's Music Store in Camarillo, CA…read more We always loved this family owned music store because of the loving care we received. My four older children developed a lifelong passion for band and music because of this lovely store. Henson's family run music store is deeply missed in Camarillo. The Camarillo music store staff helped my four children survive and thrive after the death of a sibling. Music helped my surviving children so much! Music can be so healing. Music helps students academically in math and reading and to focus well when children play instruments beginning in fourth grade or sixth grade through twelfth grade. Playing in band or orchestra helps students be organized and concentrate. it improves self esteem too. Again, music helped to save my four surviving children emotionally. Thank you to the wonderful Henson family! It is truly rare to find such knowledgeable and caring staff in a special family music store. There are many young sales people at other music stores who seem to lack the ability to care about other human beings or develop any concern to learn much about instruments. It appears to be just a job for these sales people. So, it is such a blessing to know Lisa at Henson's Music Center in Oxnard who absolutely understands customer's needs and has excellent values to help them continue loving music. It is their passion to help people gain a love for music and playing instruments. Excellent job Oxnard for having such a great family run music store! I highly recommend you drive to Oxnard to meet Lisa, Lucy, her mother and their caring, knowledgeable staff or extended family. That is why loyal customers keep returning to Henson's Music Center in Oxnard. Customers never need distant or seemingly uncaring music store salespeople. People need knowledgeable and caring music professionals to help transform their lives through music. Thankfully, Henson's Music Center is still in Oxnard. Lisa Henson looked over an almost brand new Yamaha Tenor Sax 480 to check how well it worked. She is a remarkable person. My fifth child and youngest son, is forever grateful to Lisa Henson for her help. The Henson family at Henson's Music Center and their caring staff in Oxnard put so much loving effort into excellent repairs on instruments, lessons and every interaction with all customers. Their authentic nature shines through in all their interactions with people. I highly recommend you drive to Henson's Music Center in Oxnard and avoid any sales people in nearby music stores. The drive to Oxnard especially on side streets, past lovely fields is enjoyable. Plus, the parking is great near this inviting and warm music store. You will be forever changed by the entire knowledgeable and friendly staff.
