Great little music shop in the heart of Carlsbad Village…read more For a relatively small shop, Carlsbad Village Music has just about everything music related. Instruments including guitars, amps and ukuleles. They have a lot of interesting memorabilia type items and kitschy decorative stuff also. They give music lessons too! Becky and I wandered in just to mill around a bit. I found a cool little Fender amp lunch pail that I just had to have. It was under 20 bucks! The two guys working were cool, friendly and helpful. We're very glad that we stopped in. If you go, don't forget to stop and say "Hi" to Rizzo the pug dog!

My daughter's piano teacher is great. This company however has been a nightmare experience. Over…read morethe past few years it's gotten progressively worse to the point we stopped lessons completely. They charge weeks in advance for the following month, they text, call and email asking the same questions about how many lessons my daughter is taking, has taken, her schedule. But trying to get a response from them was impossible. The first was an email I sent they took a full YEAR and two weeks to reply to. I've asked countless times for a copy of the contract policies, payments etc. I have still never received it. I checked online and cannot find the current address. All emails are bouncing back to me as server rejected. No replies to texts. Their charges have gone up and up with no explanation, charging random dates, sometimes multiple times per month all with zero communication. I emailed to cancel and got a bounce back. Texted, no response. Called, no answer. We had to go to the bank to get charges disputed and payments stopped. I checked and the license number listed on their website isn't actually a business license number. I checked out the Secretary of State and their business license is currently suspended and has been since 2002, shortly after establishment. I will also notify the Dept of Consumer Affairs and BBB. Please BEWARE before you decide on going with this company and definitely before giving them your banking information.
