I visited Frisco Music Center because I was on the hunt for an electric guitar I couldn't readily…read morefind in other shops. Another music shop tipped me off that this place had several in stock, and upon calling I was delighted to discover that they did. Although they were initially asking over $100 more than some bigger guitar shops online, the manager agreed to match that price and I was able to take home a Yamaha Revstar! The shop itself is pretty cool. When you drive up on Main Street it appears there's a lot of construction and NOT a lot of parking, but this isn't the case - they have a spacious lot in the back. Enter through the black door and you'll find yourself emerging into the shop near a wall of ukuleles. The store basically appeared to have three areas. The first room had the strings, acoustic guitars, (maybe drums and keyboards, I'm not sure), etc. The second area seemed to have equipment for recording and maybe some effects. The third room was well worth traversing the labyrinthine layout for, because that's where they kept the electric guitars and pedals and guitar straps. Despite being a small business they have a great selection. The manager seemed super knowledgeable and helped me pick some extra strings to go with my new guitar at my request. One of the things that really stood out to me too is that they offer a 50% discount on set-up service when you buy a new guitar from them. Although the person who does it was out for the week, I fully intend to bring my guitar back in to get it set up for only 30-something dollars! (Although, it seemed to play great off the wall.) Overall this is a great local music shop and should be on every guitarist's radar.

I have read previous reviews about this place and as I walked in I was expected rude, disinterested staff. We still decided on this place because of the convenient location, fully expecting to probably walk out in a huff. A lady in bright red spotted us, gently pried the list from our nervous fingers and proceeded to hunt down every single item on the list. The one thing they didn't have - she ordered for us. We got a phone call they day it was in stock and we went and picked it up. I am really bad with names, otherwise I would have mentioned this staff person by name. As long as they M&A retains her, they will have our business for sure.

Fast forward to today, 9/15 (havent not attended any classes after the 2) i get charged $125 and they said i sign up for monthly subscription. I did not do that.

The person i spoke to was nonchallant and completely didnt care. I expect a refund. I did not use your service. I recommend people be careful before signing up. This is appalling and a bait and switch. This is not how business should be conducted.

My daughter had enrolled in a group music class at Frisco School of Music and Performing Arts and…read morehad already begun attending when we were unexpectedly told the class was canceled due to "low enrollment" -- a requirement that was never disclosed directly in communications before enrollment. When I reached out asking for a fair resolution (such as continuing the class, converting to private/semi-private at the same rate, or receiving a refund), owner Chris Duncan responded by removing my daughter from all of her classes, including the ballet class she was also enrolled in and very much enjoyed. There was no mention of any policy violation or behavioral issue--simply removal following my inquiry. This action caused real emotional distress for my daughter. She had formed bonds with classmates and the teacher, was excited for ballet each week, and had even laid out her ballet outfit ahead of class. Having everything abruptly taken away left her confused and upset, repeatedly asking why she couldn't return to class. I reviewed all enrollment paperwork and found no clause allowing cancellation mid-term for low enrollment, nor any provision allowing the removal of a student from unrelated classes for raising concerns. We were hoping for a nurturing, transparent, and supportive learning experience. Instead, the decision by Chris Duncan following our request for resolution has left us deeply disappointed. I urge other parents to get all cancellation and enrollment terms clearly stated in writing before enrolling.

I called a dozen ballet studios before deciding on FSMPA. They had the best rate (5% off yearly…read moremembership paid up front), no costume fee for the recital (what do we do with $100 ballet attire anyway?), and they offer many other activities from music to arts to performing arts. Well, you get what you pay for. No glitz, no glam, no glitter about this place. Inconsistency with instructors (three in a year), curriculum, and award system (tokens for prizes given out with the first instructor but not the other two). We viewed the class on a TV screen but got to go into the studio once every other month to see them dance in person. The studio was always frigid (65 degrees) through the winter and summer time. I understand these girls are working up a sweat but they all came down with cold arms and hands. As for the recital, it was short and sweet. All classes (about seven classes with 10 girls in each) arrived early to get dressed. They all walked on stage and danced together. Then, each class did their own dance. At the end, they all got back on stage and did a final dance. Most other ballet studios have each class doing three individual routines. Depending on how long you want to stick around, I didn't mind this setup. The staff are mostly amicable. Shout out to Ms. Amanda for challenging the girls with difficult moves and also having lots of patience dealing with a bunch of girls with short attention spans.

Each month you have the opportunity to perform with some of the advanced students backing you in a concert at the local Rock 101 restaurant in Little Elm. My son is only 4 and his instructor Cody is great with him. He is starting out learning the drums but we eventually plan on him learning guitar as well. I can tell that Cody not only has solid music knowledge but also knows how to talk and relate with the youngest of pupils. We've attend a few lessons so far and are very pleased!

We inquired about voice lessons in conversation, and we're so happy to learn that Taryn also taught voice! So my daughter sees Taryn once a week for both piano and voice. It's only been about 4 month of voice lessons and my daughter is enjoying it. She has learned many techniques to improve her singing and expand her range. There is a huge difference between her singing before voice lessons to singing now. I would definitely recommend Right Start to anyone who loves music. They make you love it even more!

After our first year of the group class, we told the owner, Eileen, that we wouldn't be attending anymore. Our daughter just has trouble focusing and while, our teacher, Ms. Natalie is a delight, the class just isn't working for her. Eileen will tell you anything to keep you paying your membership apparently and told us that we if the group classes don't work out for her, we can put her in a one on one class. Well here is how the payments work. It's not a month to month situation. It's a "membership." So all summer month you are paying ahead of time, and if you drop they already have your money. So now comes first day of this year's class. It absolutely isn't working for our daughter. My husband says he would like to change to the one on one class, and Eileen totally back peddles on what she said before and says, Oh no, you have to pay a whole new membership to do the one on one class. He asks if the money we've already paid would go towards that. She says no, you've already paid for the group class and you would have to pay the full amount to switch and won't get reimbursed for the group class. AND HERE IS THE WORST PART. She asks to speak to my husband privately and says "From the bottom of my heart, I care about your daughter and I know you do too. I don't think you should discuss her lack of focus in front of her because her efforts might not feel validated." He told her that is NOT her place and has nothing to do with piano class and he'll take that as a suggestion. Meanwhile I hear this and I am furious that Eileen would have THE NERVE to tell us to parent OUR child. And to turn things around on us when she wants to charge us thousands of dollars in addition to what we've already paid, to do one on one classes that would actually be an environment where our daughter can focus. The owner is two faced. She will act as though she truly cares about your child succeeding in piano and guilt you to stay signed up. But all she cares about is money.

From the owner: I would like welcome you to the current season of piano lessons and explain what it takes to make…read morepiano education a success. What it takes is more then 30 minute lessons. My students participate in a lot of activities: recitals, festivals, state theory tests, competitions and state ensemble. To make all this happen requires my participation and membership in professional music organizations. I belong to the National Music Teacher Association, Texas Music Teacher Association, Frisco Music Teacher Association and Steinway Educator Partnership. All of these, besides paying my yearly dues, require a lot of volunteer work. I attend meetings, organize and participate in festivals, hold one of the office positions in the Frisco Music association (This year I am Vise president of the Music Teacher Association and a member of the board meetings). I have been a delegate representing FMTA to the Texas State Convention, which required from me be there for 3 days and attend a lot of meetings and educational programs and master classes in order to be informed of latest news and technology in music education . What it also takes is the right space and tools. My studio is equipped with the latest technology: two computers with music software, which make lessons more interesting and help study theory, ear training and develop rhythm. This is especially good for siblings, which make up more then half of my students.
