So many one-of-a-kind things here. The most beautiful ones are made here by John, the luthier/owner. He's happy to talk to you about instruments and to show you around his shop and the rest of the building - part of it is a vintage theater, the kind that used to be found in all parts of Omaha. Fascinating! Not long ago I stopped in to look at guitars. Mind you, I don't actually PLAY guitar, but I have gotten to a somewhat competent level at ukulele and baritone ukulele, and therefore I am craving the novelty of something new, that I can be bad at. I mentioned this to the woman working there, and she said "well, why don't you just take a class with John and he can teach you to build one"? Wow, this woman GETS ME. A total level up from what I was considering doing. I'm still thinking about doing this. But on this visit, I was just here to get a string, as moments earlier I had purchased a uke at a thrift store and it had a broken string. John had his assistant put on the string. He offered to show me how to put on the string, but since I already know (but just didn't have a string) I looked around the store and stroked a lovely cat on the counter. Which she enjoyed until she abruptly didn't, we know how cats are. Anyway, John wouldn't accept any money for the string or for the putting-on of the string. That was nice. Great place!

Outstanding craftsmanship! I took my old 1978 Giannini guitar for a bridge and crack repair and…read moreeverything came back better than I expected! It is extremely hard to find where the crack was and the bridge looks like it never had come off. Everything sounds and look as it did before. Thank you again for a superb job.

She also makes it really really enjoyable and playing the piano has become a big part of my day, to relax and unwind. It has been so wonderful. The pricing and different pricing options are very apparent and they definitely are very upfront about pricing. It has been a wonderful experience and I look forward to taking many more lessons.

I have been taking voice lessons with Julie for the last two years now. It has been an incredible…read moreexperience learning from her. Julie was my introduction to the world of western music, and the journey with her has been great. We usually work on one or two pieces at a time. She also makes sure I get the basics right and so we practice sight reading and do some basic warmup exercises every class. So far I've tried different genres such as opera, christmas carols and musicals. We have fun-filled parties at Noteworthy music very often and it's always great to catch up with her other piano and voice students. I really look forward to our gatherings. Julie hasn't confined my music education to just classes. Last summer, we watched a number of musicals in community theaters in and around Omaha. The highlight of the year is our Christmas performance. We sang carols at a prominent hospital in the city last year. I really look forward to my musical journey with Julie, and highly recommend Noteworthy Music to anyone looking to take piano and voice lessons.

Area musicians, especially non-guitar players, have to be thankful for a store like Schmitt. It's…read morejust about the only place you can get repairs on your woodwind and brass instruments locally. Add in school band instruments and supplies, sheet music for beginners and professionals alike, enough guitar equipment to satisfy axe heads in a pinch plus a large showroom of pianos, and you have a centrally-located music store that's been serving Omaha for decades. There's also practice rooms on the lower level if you or your kids are interested in taking private lessons from local teachers. I took clarinet and saxophone lessons at Schmitt from Leonard Eby. As much as I hated going there with my brother and dad just about every Sunday for 10-plus years, the musical education Eby provided me with is invaluable and helped earn and keep first chair in the wind ensemble throughout high school. Not to mention build the foundation of a smalltime music career that has allowed me to play on the best stages of Omaha and travel from NYC to LA and play at international music festivals such as SXSW. Going in there yesterday to buy some clarinet reeds for the first time since the early 2000s reminded me of all this. I'm so glad Schmitt is still here. Hopefully it'll be here forever.
