They have a wide arrange of music scores, instruments, and instructors for private lessons. I've come here for instruments repairs or the occasional mishap when a mouthpiece gets stuck. My visit was on a Wednesday afternoon to consign an instrument. If you purchased the instrument from there, you get 75% of the selling price; if not, you get 70%. I consigned an old Yamaha in great condition with all the equipment from years ago. Craig- the manager- helped me find the previous invoice to speed up the process. Was done around 10 minutes! Great service and hidden gem for your musical needs.

My…read moreoldest daughter had gone to Lindsey for voice lessons and had a very positive experience, so she recommend that I contact Jesse to see if he had any guitar openings for my son. Luckily, there was a spot. From the beginning, Jesse has been a supportive, skilled, and experienced teacher. Jesse provides a balance between book instruction and popular music choices. It is evident that he truly enjoys what he does. To be honest, I did not expect my son would still be interested in playing guitar 2 1/2 years later. I thought it would be the typical situation where a child asks to play, then gets bored and quits. On the contrary - my son looks forward to his weekly lessons and has never wanted to quit. I know the big reason he has continued is because of the rapport he has with Jesse, as well as the enjoyment he gets when learning and playing new songs. I've enjoyed watching and hearing the progress! I am also very thankful that Jesse was able to successfully provide lessons via Zoom ever since our county went into "shelter in place" mode.!

We searched everywhere for a good music therapist for him back in 2024, and we were so fortunate to have found The Music Place as well as a great therapist!

His current therapist, Patrick, has been amazing & our child eagerly looks forward to his sessions every week. Over the past couple of years, the Music Place has helped our child's abilities truly blossom, and he has made incredible progress with singing, playing the piano, performing and even composing his own songs. They take a strengths-based and child focused approach, and every staff member has always been so patient and kind with him. The Music Place's motto is "Where learning is FUN and every child is special!", and based on our experience, they completely live up to it! We are so fortunate to be part of the Music Place family!
