My son is very shy but playing the guitar is an escape from the social anxiety he experiences. Ms Sonia treats him like family and it means so much to us. My daughter took piano lessons for a year then stopped. She's back at chuck james in voice lessons and she is so happy. It's amazing to bring her to her voice lesson as an angsty teen and have her come out of her lesson bubbly and smiling. Thank you so much for enriching our lives!! Worth every dollar spent!!

Drumsticks of all shapes, sizes and weight; guitars on the walls, sound systems, a room you can practice in (nice to listen to other players trying it out), accessories, albums, gifts, and more. A place well stocked like this makes me want to take up playing some kind of instrument. My husband will probably not like it.
