Since I work in…read moresales and am an entrepreneur, I have to make presentations all the time, deliver pitches, and talk on the phone. My biggest challenge is that my voice can waiver and get weak when I'm speaking to a large group. Jordan helped me find my vocal range, where I am strong, and where my voice goes weak. She explained how my breathing and throat work with my tongue and jaw to produce different sounds, and gave me exercises to improve my speaking ability and warm up so I can project with a strong, authentic voice. Since working with Jordan my speaking has improved. Even when I'm nervous in front of a crowd, I can now control my breathing and speech to present clearly and confidently, even if I have butterflies from having so many people's attention.

The Kennelly Keys Music on 196th Street Southwest in Lynnwood was our second go-to Kennelly Keys…read morewhen I was growing up. We were required in elementary school to take part in the school band or orchestra for 5th grade with 6th grade optional (I took part both full academic years: 2002 to 2004), so with an older sibling and me, my parents were looking for reliable music stores. There was a Kennelly Keys close to the house, as well as this Kennelly Keys, that we habitually frequented. This was our destination for questions needing further answering and products not available closer to the house. Workers were friendly and the store well organized. When choosing my musical instrument for band, I decided I wanted to play the alto saxophone. My parents were okay with my choice so long as it was not as pricey as my sister's cello. On one of our visits to this location, the store was having a big sale on used instruments and they had a working alto saxophone available for a good deal. So, I got my first alto saxophone that day. I used it for both years and held on to it for a while before eventually parting with it. It worked well and served its purpose reliably.

Repair good, customer service, poor…read more I recently took in a vintage saxophone for repair, clearly stating that I just wanted the instrument made playable. The repair tech indicated that it needed some pads and adjustments for around $400, and I agreed. When I got the sax back the repair work looked good, but the neck cork hadn't been replaced. It was necessary to push the mouthpiece all the way in to get a decent seal, at which point the intonation was ruined. This was definitely not the "playable condition" that I requested. I went back to Kennelly Keys, and stated that I was within their 30-day repair warranty window, and wanted the neck cork fixed as well. The salesclerk told me that the warranty only covered the work performed, and that I'd need to spend another $50 for the neck cork repair. To me this was exactly like taking in your car for repair, getting charged for the work, then upon discovering that the car still didn't run right, being expected to pay still more to make it right. Having come back with a new, slightly different mouthpiece, I agreed to extra cost to get everything right. The neck was recorked and the sax is now playable and tunable. When I then picked up the sax I explained the circumstances in detail to the manager on-site, stating that I wasn't satisfied with the original repair, in that it failed to deliver what I'd requested ... a playable instrument. She was quite receptive (unlike the clerk from the time before), and said that she'd contact the regular manager (I was there on a Saturday), and that someone would contact me the following week to discuss the (reasonable!) possibility of providing some discount for the repair work cost. Unsurprisingly, I received no such call. My takeaway is that while profitability is important, KK decided that having the money was more important than having a satisfied customer. I'd been a patron of KK in Lynnwood for years, but will now be going elsewhere for all future purchases and repair needs.
