Mostly are done in Chinese, but I believe that they can also teach in English. They have private tutoring classes as well in Chinese string and woodwind instruments. It's a husband and wife team. Mrs Cheng, a beautiful woman and her husband are well known in the Chinese classical music industry in Canada. They have a number of CD's of various music in their collection of performances. We were shown the $800 dollar GuZheng, but that wasn't what Mum wanted so Mrs Cheng brought our a few others to show. When the final selection was made and the purchase done, she tuned the instrument, offered the free stand and the free chair. We didn't get the chair, but daughter will get it next time. The ones that they had at the time were too small. There was a mumbling in the car of how expensive it was, but that it was more affordable than the other places. The Daughter hopefully really likes it (which she did) and that she'll take the lessons and learn it well. If not, Mom will take lessons! The service was quite nice. And after Daughters first class, she said that she enjoyed it. Soon, the melodic tunes of the skillfull GuZheng student will fill the air in the house with music. A Rhapsody in progress.

I would highly recommend G&G Music for your DJ needs…read more My husband and I used them for our wedding on May 30, 2015 and Terry did a fantastic job.

We were planning to have G&G Music DJ our wedding, but after working with them we don't plan to…read moreever do business with them again. We met with a particular member of G&G's staff on April 29, 2018 to discuss what we wanted for our wedding, and he seemed to be able to offer a lot of what we wanted just barely within our budget (likely because we told him our budget ahead of time - something we don't plan on doing again in the future). Things were sounding good, so we asked him to send us a formal quote. We received the quote a couple days later and found that there were numerous prices that were above what we were told at our meeting with G&G. There were also items on the quote we said we didn't want (such as a photo booth), among other issues. We contacted the individual we had met with and brought up our issues with the contract to him. In our email, we used a particular price inconsistency in the quote as an example: an item that we were told was $50 even at the meeting, which was now being quoted as "$70-$370". So, in the best case scenario the item would be $20 more than we were told, and in the worst case scenario it would be hundreds more (something we couldn't afford multiple instances of on top of all the other wedding expenses). Instead of apologizing for the confusion and working with us to make the quote more agreeable and clear for both parties, G&G responded by saying that "$50 was a rough starting price". The individual then proceeded to say that if we bundled the item with another package (which we did not want and never discussed prior), there would be a discount that would bring the item to $52.50. He said, "so in reality I'm really only $2.50 off in price", leaving out the fact that to get that price we need to pay an extra $100 for a package we don't want. After a few emails back and forth, the conversation ended on May 14, 2018, where we said the following: "Our concern is that prices at our meeting were presented as exact prices we should budget for. Now, looking over the contract and emailing back and forth, we're finding out various items were quoted to us at the absolute lowest value and that we would probably need to pay quite a bit more than discussed to receive what we expect." And his response was simply: "Let me revise the contract and see if it works for you both. Im playing on the island till late Wednesday so ill be able to get to your contract Thursday." Fast forward to May 25, 2018 (a week and a half later). I sent the individual another email asking for an update. He responded this morning with the following: "I'm sorry I should have emailed you sooner but this is a very difficult letter to write. I certainly don't want any hard feelings. After your last email I felt like my integrity was being brought into question. I understand the confusion with the [item] but your email implied that I had changed quotes on "various items." I've been playing in bands and Djing for a very long time and this is the 1st time anyone has been unsatisfied or accused me of changing prices. I want this to be a very positive experience for you both and it's not feeling that way. You should enjoy every part of the planning right up to and including your wedding day so I feel it would be best if you found another DJ." IN SUMMARY, if you plan to work with G&G Music, just know that they are never in the wrong, and if you have a complaint with their service they will tell you they will resolve it, then proceed to not say or do anything related to your request. Since we are the first of both our friend groups to be getting married, G&G Music can look forward to not receiving business from any of our friends and family. Now, we will work on finding a new DJ after wasting the last month working with G&G Music.

Extremely disappointed!…read more Called them January 24th about renting an instrument for 5th grade strings. They told me to come in to rent a violin and to try and bring my child with me since we needed to get the correct size. January 26, I bring my kid in. We arrived later than planned because I got lost (my bad) trying to find the store. We arrived at 4:45pm. Despite the store being empty, the guy there was apparently too busy to help us and handed us a paper to order online so it could be shipped to us. He didn't offer a sizing suggestion. I called back again yesterday afternoon because I realized strings starts next week and I wasn't sure if the shipped instrument would get here in time. The guy told me it would take a few days but they had some in stock. I told him I was confused because I was given a paper and told to have it shipped. He said they had multiple sizes in stock, including a size that should work for her given her age (10). We drove all the way back downtown again today and guess what - they don't have any in stock. What a joke and a waste of our time. Will not go to this store again.
