If you're looking to have your guitar setup don't hesitate to bring it in to Kenny's. Kimberly helped me with the questions I had and a few days later my guitar now plays like a much more expensive rig now. Kenny explained everything he did to it and the problems it had. So much better! They also have a nice selection of instruments for the upcoming holiday, so be it a new guitar, amp or just a new set of strings (stocking stuffers) you'll be good here! The owners Kenny and Kimberly are very friendly and made me feel like family, glad I made it in thru a recommendation. I'll see you guys next time, thank you and happy holidays! read more

Kimberly and Kenny are the best. They love what they do. I've rented my son a cello from them for years. Always willing to help in any way.

The store is a charming converted Dana Point cottage. The owner couldn't have been nicer or more helpful. We sat on the comfy couch and chatted for a long time about the history of the store and how they could help us restore and restring our guitar. Very encouraging and we can't wait to go back for a guitar lesson or two! read more

Kenny's Music - Musical Instruments & Teachers Near Me - Dana Point, California

We've been with Kenny's music for both musical equipment as well music lessons for our kids since 2015. Kenny and Kimberly are amazing people not just for music but for the community. My kids went back for more lessons even after finishing school to push a bit further. Wonderful folks. Great location. read more

I had the privilege of meeting the owners on a trip out to the Laguna area. Let me start off by saying that Kenny and Kimberly are the most honest and good-hearted people you could ever come across. Their business is their passion and their livelihood, and you can tell they pour their soul into their store. I originally found out about their business through my cousin, who was taking vocal lessons there and decided to give them a try. Their professionalism, connections, experience, friendliness, promptness and inventory keep me coming back for all my music equipment and supply needs. read more

See all

Kenny is the man, Kimberly is the sweetest woman ever. I've always grown up in the area and have been there only for strings and smaller items, however Kimberly has known me by name since i was 13 and I had not even know hers til a year ago or so. Kenny fixed the intonation on my 80s strat that guitar center absolutely fucked up and Kenny did his magic. Tell Kenny what you play and he'll set you up for a great deal! I hope this economy doesn't ruin this mom pop shop because this is the only music store in south OC. Ps sorry I made you put 11s on my strat kenny, maybe in a few years I'll be less stubborn and move to 10s Ha! read more

3 of the 4 members of my family have taken lessons at Kenny's - 2 kids and me. Kenny is a great guy and has a good teaching style that works for everyone. He has a ton of experience teaching and knows how to explain musical concepts so that even a hack like me can understand! Kimberly who runs the shop is one of the nicest people you will ever meet. Kenny and Kimberly are truly part of the community here at Dana Point and we're lucky to have them. read more

The sweetest people!!!!! Kimberley not only helped me restring my ukulele, but she went the extra mile to clean salt and super glue stains I had on my uke, fix the zippers to my carrier bag and called me to ask how I'd like my uke tuned .... And she got it done fast and for an extremely reasonable price. Would highly recommend supporting this local music shop full of heart and soul, the owners really do care about their community and provide the best service. Genuinely a gem! Thank you so much for everything! read more

Kenny and his wife are great. Kenny is teaching my 6 year old how to play guitar and has a lot of patience with him. Its not easy to teach and watch a kid grow, but Kenny has what it takes. Rock on KENNY! read more

I want to learn to play the ukulele. I knew I wanted a concert ukulele, and had read everything I could find about the different brands, sizes, types of wood, etc. I stopped into Guitar Center yesterday, and got a dismissive attitude from the kid on the floor. That is, until a man came in 5 minutes later. Then he was all over him. So today, after shopping for rock to construct my garden wall (myself), I stopped in to Kenny's. I was greeted warmly by Kim and the 2 others in the room. Kim listened to me and sold me a beautiful Amahi Concert ukulele, a gig bag and tuner. Yes I'll be looking up lessons on the interweb to get my feet wet, but I will definitely be back to Kenny's for lessons. I've been driving by for years, saying Hi to Sandy...I'm so glad I went in today. read more

I started taking guitar lessons (& purchased a guitar there as well) about a year ago as therapy after a major fall where I broke my wrist in three places. Kenny is a great teacher and is patient with me - I play for therapy - physical and emotional and he is patient and accepts my path and Kimberly his wife, has become a good friend (and is always helpful and kind). A great place to be. read more

Kenny and Kimberly are two of the sweetest most helpful people I've met. I bought my brand new alvarez acoustic guitar from them, got practice lessons from Kenny very cheap and learned alot. I also just took the guitar in for regular adjustments (tuneup on the action) and it was free of charge! read more

This place is great! They helped me tune my son's ukulele on the spot. Rare to find such helpful people/companies. I'll be back for lessons one day soon. read more

Stopped in this evening and met with Kimberly! Although I didn't buy a violin, she was extremely friendly, helpful, and knowledgable.

Love this store! Little shop with a lot of warmth! This is the only place I go to get my gear. If they don't have it, they can order it. Also, I have taken vocal lessons here. Ask for Judy! read more

Love this place, came in to have some amps repaired and to see if there was a problem with my guitar. Met the owner Kenny and his wife Kim, both of whom are amazing! They got me a quick qoute and had my stuff repaired rather quickly. It was awesome. The decor is cool its like a mini house of blues and quiant. Kenny is a great guy and looks the part of a blues rockstar. You wont be disappointed with this place. read more

Kenny and Kimberly are great people and Kenny's Music is a great store. Forget the chain guitar stores or internet shopping - at Kenny's you get personal attention, fun conversations and positive vibes. Kenny is also a very patient teacher, with an encyclopedic knowledge of songs and techniques and a real love of his art. read more

I must say I won't go anywhere else. Everyone is always super helpful, friendly and honest. Had a few strings replaced for both of my kids' guitars yesterday and they are back in great shape "for now " until they bust the strings again!! Hahahaha. Have bought violins here as well as guitars. Great service over the years. read more

We were searching for a band to entertain during our annual Wounded Warrior's Dinner and Kenny came to the rescue. Great band and everyone enjoyed them. Plus they were very reasonable since all our proceeds went to wounded warriors at Camp Pendleton. Thank you Kenny for helping our and proving great music in and around Dana Point, CA. read more

This place has a couch, Would recommend just for the couch? It's essentially a therapy center for me. Kenny and Kimberly are amazing people. The lessons are good too! read more

Knowledgeable, genuine, and passionate about music. I'm learning guitar right now and as we all know it can be very overwhelming. Dana explained the various differences between guitar's, and different approaches to learning. Most of all, they weren't pushy. They could tell I was interested in music, so they gave me some awesome insight. I will definitely be back to buy my first real guitar from these people. read more

Attention Dana Point, San Clemente, Capo Beach and more....Kenny's is the coolest! Super nice people with extremely reasonable prices and a wide array of services, including top notch maintenance and repair. Made me feel at home from the second I walked in the door. Great conversation from REAL musicians, not the used car salesman at GC. Don't waste your time heading up to Mission Viejo. Kenny's is your stop! read more

I highly recommend Kenny's Music , starting with super friendly and knowledgable service from Kimberly to Kenny himself , he is an amazing guitar instructor , my daughter has been taking lessons from him and is doing great and loves it ! read more

The place is a complete rip off. I asked them to straighten the neck and a few other things and they ended up putting on new strings on it with out telling me, they said maybe it could need them we will let you know though. I asked for a estimate on how much straighten the neck would be from the begin and never got a answer . It took three days to do what ever they did. To top it all off they charge more than any other place would have charged never again will i take my stuff there. read more

I love this music store! Kenny's Music was recommended by a friend when I was in search of a guitar teacher. After talking to me at length about what I was looking for in a teacher, Kimberly had me start working with Kenny. Besides being a very gifted guitarist, Kenny is by far one of the best teachers I've ever had. Both Kenny and Kimberly are kind, friendly, honest, and extremely professional. One of the best things about Kenny & Kimberly is that they really listen to you and help you get the best fit for your needs, whether it's a musical instrument or the best teacher. I'm a songwriter as a hobby, and Kenny, who is also a songwriter, has geared his lessons with me towards both goals -- learning to play well and write well on the guitar. It has been a wonderful experience. read more

Well I was very happy that a new shop opened in Dana Point. I went in a few times in the past , all good no problems at all ... Until last year I brought in my guitar and amp for a service and some minor fixes. It took three months, amp repair guy was unavailable or some excuse I don't really remember... Not sure what they did to the guitar but it was missing a Allen screw... And the amp made bad grounding sounds/noises. So after a long wait I went to pick them up, the amp looked ok, I did not plug it in ... The guitar had a one inch long screw instead of the probably 1/4 inch long screw... It's like they did not even try. Needless to say 150 bucks later my stuff was the same as it was when I brought it in... Today I went in again, and let's just say I was pretty bummed on the way things went... One guy sitting around plucking a guitar acting way too cool asking me some weird questions... As if I had no idea of anything...Made me feel pretty uncomfortable. I probably won't go back. I rather drive to guitar center and not only get a better deal but at least they don't try to take advantage of you and till now, nobody thought I was an idiot at GC. I love supporting local mom and pops shops but drop the attitude and bad business practices guys. read more

I have been sending my child here for guitar lessons and referred many others for the past four years. Both Kenny and Kimberly are wonderful, helpful, accommodating, fun and honest...making sure the kids develop a true appreciation for music. They are active with the community and support many local fundraisers and events. I would heartily suggest you check them out for lessons and equipment. read more

Great local business that knows their business! Friendly staff that take a personal interest and are willing to work with you to meet your needs, you won't find better anywhere! read more

Groovy little shop I go in and buy strings every once and a while and I just love the whole vibe. The people there are extremely nice and I would recommend this store to anyone read more

We just purchased a violin for my stepdaughter who needed an upgrade. Kimberly was so helpful in finding us the perfect violin within our price range and even threw in some upgrades to make sure she got the best possible instrument. Everyone was so kind and it was such a concierge shopping experience. We will definitely be back :) read more
