    So I've been using Guitar Center for years for my drum stuff. Ive always loved the place because of…read morepricing, selection, their used section, and mostly the people. I'm always able to step inside and rattle off some beats on a drum set and since they are all musicians, no one ever cares. So as a drummer, Its always been the drum section for me but today I came in because I want to start learning something new. Injuries to parts of my arms make it difficult to play guitar but since I've always loved piano, I decided that's what I would try. I first looked on line and found some used equipement but decided to stop in and see what Guitar Center had. Shayne was the first person I spoke to. He gave me a lot of great advice and really tried to educate me on the equipement I was looking at. He gave me all the pros and cons of each piece, he didn't try to over sell me, and he even told me how I COULD save some money finding something used on line or even on their web site. The thing I liked the most is how Shayne actually explained the pros and cons of buying used and gave me the perfect amount of information to make a very educated decision on what I ended up buying AFTER I was invited to take a day or two to do some research on my own before making any kind of purchase. I did buy new, and I did buy it from Guitar Center, and it was because of the service I received from Shayne during my two visits with him. The shop is one of my favorite places to shop but it was Shayne that captured the 5th star!

    Bruce and his staff are terrific to deal with. I thought I needed a new fret job on my 60 year old…read moreRickenbacker. Bruce suggested that he could simply replace the "nut" which elevates the strings above the frets. Well, bingo he was right. Saved me some serious $. He and his team were a huge help when I was buying an additional guitar and amp setup. Brindleys is an honest to goodness music store! Thanks guys. - Mickey Keyes

Everyone I spoke to was really nice, and I was able to get my flute serviced quickly. The instrument repair person is there on Wednesdays and Saturdays. They did a pretty good job, but definitely didn't polish my flute, which I was kind of disappointed about, especially since I asked it to be thoroughly cleaned (this was also indicated on my service ticket they typed up). I was able to polish it myself after I got it back with a silver polishing cloth that I had to purchase. They have a huge variety of instruments, accessories, and books! It does seem to be more catered to guitars/percussion, but they still had a decent selection for woodwinds and brass. They also have tons of teachers that do private lessons. I will definitely be returning if I need anymore repairs done, as they did a nice job with those!

This store is a very…read moreneatly-stocked store & has a large selection of instruments of all types for the every day musician. Very knowledgeable staff members on hand to assist you. On the main floor are the instruments, & upstairs you will find sheet music & an area for taking music lessons. Jon Milano, the grandson of the man who started this business, introduced himself to me & told me the history of this store. Very fascinating & if you walk through the back hallway of the store, you will see many photos of the various artists & celebrities who have visited this amazing music store! I'm a drummer so I will definitely return when I need something. I invite you to check this place out & say hello to my new friend Jon. Once you visit Milano's, you become part of the family!

    As the mother of a musician, I've learned far more about instruments and accessories than I ever…read moreknew before. I still may not be able to identify everything, but I'm getting better. While I was in town visiting my son, he mentioned that there was a music store not far from us that he'd like to visit. I wasn't prepared for the size of this place-it's far more than just a "music store." He had a gleeful look of awe as he admired the selection of brass instruments and was able to play a few of them too. He'll be ready to make a purchase soon, so he wants to know for sure which one is just right. If you don't quite know what you're looking for, or need some elevated service, you might find someone, you might not. It's a more laid-back approach to customer service-we had to seek someone out for help. But I suppose I prefer that over an in-your-face sales person trying to close a deal.

    I decided to take piano lessons because I was looking for something more enriching than my usual…read moreroutine, something that would let me move away from just playing video games in my spare time. When I first walked into Music Lessons Arizona, I was a total beginner. I didn't know a thing about reading sheet music and didn't even own a piano or a keyboard. I was really starting from zero. The instructors were fantastic at guiding me through those first steps. They really emphasized why having a piano with weighted keys was important for building the right technique and finger strength, and they patiently taught me how to read music from the ground up. What I appreciated most was that they never made me feel rushed. They always made sure I understood each concept before moving on and offered practical tips that made learning enjoyable. I remember the first time I played at one of the school's workshops--it was incredibly exciting, and my instructor was right there cheering me on. In the end, I'd absolutely recommend Music Lessons Arizona to any adult who's thinking about learning piano. It's a really welcoming place, and the journey has been genuinely rewarding for me. I'm really glad I started here.

    I was looking for vocal lessons for my 7 year old daughter and came across Music Lessons Arizona…read more We tried first 30 min lesson with Laura Cable and I realized this is the teacher we were looking for! We immediately extended the length of each lesson to 1 hour instead of 30 min. Laura is a true professional, she is attentive, sensible, playful, sincere, demanding and supportive! And overall the atmosphere in the school is warm and welcoming, it does not feel like studying. When we come there we learn and have fun in the same time! We are certainly to continue!
