Marie suggested I test this Jem out. Head over heals in love. Marie and Jamie were so awesome. Can't believe I have a 1950's Kay Archtop now. Thank you GC!!! **edit.... Also saw a lot of you young punks wearing rings and bracelets when testing out guitars.

As a pianist, music scholar, theorist and teacher... this place can't be beat for any of your…read moremusical purchasing needs. I've been coming here for the past 12 years or so for books and sheet music. I was first introduced by an old teacher and I've been a patron ever since. This place is huge and has every piece of music you could think of. Many of the gems are hidden inside file cabinets. If you're lucky, you may be able to find first edition concertos. I shopped here during college for technical books and etudes. I now shop here for my own students and leisure. If there seems to be a tune you just do not know the name of, give it a quick hum and the staff will 99% of the time know exactly what you're talking about! They're great people, all musicians and vocalists. Not so much the musician? Just drop in and check out the bulletin board for teachers/lessons of all levels. Or give me a ring if you want to play some piano =)

My eldest turned 4 and I decided to let her choose an extracurricular to partake in. She chose…read moremusic - to be specific, piano. I looked around and this place seemed good so I called for information and got a call back super quick. Everyone I spoke with was very helpful... and optimistic. Haha... The place is tucked in a neighborhood down a small street, but it has a private parking lot. There are 4 lessons a month billed monthly. I wasn't sure what to expect with my daughter being the unknown variable because of her age, but the teacher was professional and nice. However, my nugget stopped being excited as soon as she learned she couldn't just "play" freestyle and had to listen to an adult. So, even though kids as young as 4 can start one-on-one lessons... it's up to the individual. Definitely not for mine. We decided to stay but switched over to a group music class geared for toddlers - they have 2, one for 3 and the other for 4 year olds where they learn music basics while having fun. They let us take free trial classes of both until we could decide. My nugget's in the 3 year old one because she never had classroom experience before and she seems to enjoy it - definitely more than the one-on-one lesson, for sure. If she's still interested in a few years, we'll revisit piano but for now, the group lessons are good. The classes are not exactly "cheap", but it is as expected. The teachers are all knowledgeable and engaging, though I feel bad sometimes. My nugget is free spirited and... wild if she's in the mood. The group classes have gotten larger, which is noticeable since they're in a small room, but attendance fluctuates. So far, it isn't a huge cause for concern - what with the pandemic and all. Overall, I will definitely look here for music lesson needs and we are pretty happy so far.

I don't know where to start. I found this by chance on Craig's List about three months ago. I…read moreinquired about lessons. First day I walked in, I saw this unique handcrafted small body jazz guitar. The proprietor, Taka Moro, built it over 13 months ! We started the first lesson. I was floored. He is an extremely accomplished jazz player and complete musician as well. He does this UNBELIEVABLE set up. I have had him do what he terms as 'premium setup' on one classical/hybrid, three electrics including one Traveler guitar, Gibson LesPaul ES and Gibson Johnny A. Honestly, I didn't know what I had until he put his craft to work. He will have you play for him so he knows exactly how to set it up. You will be amazed !! He will send you pics of the entire process. No BS here..none. His own crafted guitars are to die for..action, tone..complete everything ! Honestly, I am not a pro, but I've been to several of the top repair guys in Houston over the years, but this is the SH*T !. Taka will not hold your guitar hostage for several months (dealt with that), brush you off (again, been there) or do a half ass job..nothing but PERFECTION every time !! Take lessons, repair your guitar or build you a custom whatever axe you may dream of....
