My 11-year-old grandson started 30-minute weekly piano lessons with Miss Grace in June, and I've…read morebeen very pleased with his progress. By his third class, she moved him beyond books with note letters so he could start reading music by sight and sound. She also sings do, re, mi as he plays, which really helps him connect the notes with their sounds. It's a lot to learn, but he's already reading notes, even without much home practice. I've recently started having him practice 15 minutes, three times a week at home. He fusses because he'd rather play video games, but I'm making him practice anyway, and his fluency, confidence, and coordination are showing noticeable improvement. Miss Grace is friendly, patient, and encouraging, and she makes learning piano both fun and effective. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a wonderful piano teacher!

Buyer Beware! Store Manager Whitney (heavy set woman that…read moresits at the front deck) was offensively rude when I asked to reschedule the last lesson of a 4-Lesson, 1-hour package that I purchased online. We had already completed 3 of the 4 lessons and I was at least a week out from any future lesson, which would have fallen on Thanksgiving week. Also, I had NOT selected my own appointment dates because of a system issue when placing my online order, so I had basically been confirming appointments week after week. (Scam Alert!) Whitney first told me that we were on a reoccurring payment schedule, where I corrected her explaining that I had purchased (paid in full) for a 4-package lesson deal at $318. She stated that the system didn't work like that and that I could only reschedule an appointment prior to our last appointment. I explained I was a week out from the last appointment and she said that I could come again this same week, but that the system wouldn't allow her to reschedule for the date I needed. l then asked what needed to be done and she said that I would loose that appointment and the money that we paid for it. I stated I didn't understand and this is were she got extremely rude and unprofessional, repeatedly saying, "I don't know what to tell you!, "It is in the terms and conditions when purchasing!" (it is NOT) and stating, "There is nothing that can be done!" She then tried to suggest that I was yelling at her, which I immediately shut down and told her that being assertive about my money, and the business at hand, was not yelling. Another employee tried suggesting that she ask the instructor if they would be willing to change the appointment and she refused, given him the evil eye. (I appreciate him trying to be reasonable and trying to help.) After realizing I was not going to get a feasible resolution through the manager, I approached the instructor myself and they happily rescheduled us for the week after Thanksgiving, without hesitation. Two minutes after I left the store I started getting cancellation and reschedule dates, via email. This concerns me because my reschedule date was changed in the system to the wrong date (two days from the last appointment and NOT the week after Thanksgiving). Whitney also immediately called me, apologizing profusely and admitting fault on her and her employees end. What I don't trust is why the rescheduled date had to be done the way it was, and I have a feeling that my fight with this Company is not over, especially after reading so many reviews that included what I have experienced. In preparation, I have pulled supporting documentation from the website FAQs (ex. You can reschedule up to 24 hours before the an appointment without penalty), I have my original purchase receipt, Screenshot of the website issue at the time of my purchase, and screenshots of the years of similar negative Google reviews. Lastly, I am sharing this experience and proof with my contacts within the Gwinnett County School System, including but not limited to other Parents, Band Directors, Principals, and The Superintendent's Office. We should not be advertising this kind of customer service and poor business practice to ANYONE, especially with the reoccurring payment scam when one-time advertised packages have been purchased. Oh, and if needed I will be looping in my Fox 5 Investigate contacts and the Better Business Bureau. I will not be spending another dime with this Company, which is unfortunate because the two instructors that we have worked with have been amazing. We will have to see if they offer tutoring services outside of this organization.

If you are tired of that mega-musak-store (you know the one, that rhymes with Guitar Center?), then…read moreswing by and spend a few moments supporting a local shop that is worth the oddball entrance. I've been playing gee-tar for quite a while, so I have most of my gadgets and gear, but as many musicians know, there is always room for more crap. Well not this time. Why you ask? Well over the years I've accumulated quite a few soft-cases for guitars, all of which were quickly replaced with hard-cases immediately to protect my babies. Well soft-cases aren't really in high demand, and they were filling up needed space in my casa, so I decided to donate them. On my way to Goodwill, I remembered that Jireh Music has those crappy commercials that make you remember their name. Instead of blindly donating my cases, I decided to get some big bucks for 'em. $2.00. Yep. TWO DOLLARS. Now this may sound like a bad thing through type, but $2.00 is still more than I had going into the store... Or so I thought. Checking our their current stash, I found another amp that I just HAAAAAAD to have, so I came out around $200 in the hole, OR DID I? Great guys working the shop with a lot of gear packed into a small space. It's not Guitar Center, but that's the good part... It's not Guitar Center. I'll be back to donate one thing and pick up another in the near future.

A bit difficult to move around in places but there certainly is a wide variety of musical instruments. All the usual guitars, drums, keyboards, and sound systems as well more difficult to find instruments like ukuleles, mandolins and citterns. My friend needed a beginnings trumpet book for his son and he found the exact one that he was looking for. In a store like this one of the main advantages are the friendly and knowledgeable staff. The people working here are pleasant and really know their stuff. An attractive alternative to the large and far more impersonal chain music stores.

She is very talented in her style of teaching- my kids really respect her. She has a beautiful voice and knows how to bring out the best voice in her students. My oldest son, 16, is very talented on piano and loves to perform, but would never practice on his own. Now, Ms. Grace is teaching him a whole new way to work from chords and interpret the music- he is finding a new love for the piano and practicing on his own! Yes, you did read correctly, she is their voice teacher and a great one, but she is so much more. She didn't want his talent in piano to be lost and got him playing while he sings- making Dad, Mom & Nana quite happy!!! My daughter, 13, has a naturally beautiful voice, but has really blossomed under the training of Ms. Grace. It turns out that the voice training has also been wonderful for my daughter's overall confidence. She also mentioned to Ms. Grace that she had a guitar, but had never learned to play. Of course, Ms. Grace now is teaching her guitar too. My youngest son, 11, has disabilities that affect his speech. One day he told me he wanted to take voice lessons too. I approached Ms. Grace about it, and she said "yes" without hesitation. He is definitely improving and I believe it is also helping his speech. His confidence is also on the rise as Ms. Grace is always proud of him and he just loves her. Our family feels very blessed to have found Ms. Grace and the Gwinnett School of Music!

And what sealed the deal was the proximity to our home. We would drop off our son for lessons and we weren't encouraged to go in for the sessions. Ever. And we never did. Which was strange. On Saturday mornings it was chaotic and with tutoring sessions it was busy place. Our son seemed to enjoy the lessons and Ms Katie was sweet and our son responded well to her, this was important because our son didn't love the violin. Ms Katy would sometimes be absent and we would make up sessions during the week. She had cancelled 3 and we were told to schedule the lesson with her and not the school, although we paid the school. She ended up leaving the school and owed us (3) lessons. The school took no responsibility. I was frustrated at the school and that Ms Katy did not take responsibility when we were billed in advance for lessons. I'm not sure what the structure of the lessons were because in middle school our son did not advance with private lessons. We now pay the same amount for private lessons, and the instructor is a violinist with the Atlanta Philharmonic and Symphony. My never new Ms Katy's resume. There was no collaboration, communication and we were overall disappointed with the experience we had.
