I am a little bias as I am related to Phillip Lai. That said, his lessons speak for themselves; and…read moreafter only a few weeks of lessons, I can't imagine any parent or young artist disagreeing. You can ask for references or get a CD of his recitals which he'll happily provide to any skeptical prospective students. I've known him all my life and I cannot remember a time when the piano was a difficult skill for him. He is truly talented musician. Unlike others who are talented and can't understand why piano is difficult, Phillip knows how to explain the concepts and identify why a person is having trouble. He has a very results oriented method to teaching that differs from typical, stodgy approaches approaches. There are two things that clearly identify his talent in helping students learn this skill. 1) A recent recital had students of all ages (5-85) happy to show their skill in public. Some had only been taking lessons for 1 month. They all were able to complete a full song - of their choosing - and show well in public. 2) His students are happy both going into and coming out of the lesson. It is clear that Phillips enthusiasm is contagious. He knows how to get kids to embrace the joy of the instrument and that ultimately encourages them to practice and improve their skill. 3) He is extremely good with kids of all ages. He recognizes that you are asking him to provide a service. He spends time getting to know his students, what they are trying to accomplish and how to get them to that ability to accomplish this goal. The one downside that I would mention is that due to the popularity of his lessons, he does tend to be fairly booked. That said, I know he works really hard to fit all students in.

Since then I've bought all my guitars and amps from Terry, including a Martin acoustic/electric, a Strat, along with my sons Fender Jazz bass and amp. My son explored many stores checking out basses and amps. Terry asked what my son was looking for and what music he was playing. He let him browse and take his time with no pressure. Every time I go in with an instrument or amp in need of repair Terry drops what he's doing and, at the very least, looks at it or repairing it then and there. I went in looking for a new acoustic guitar and Terry found out I liked Martin's but couldn't afford one. He sold me a Martin with a cracked panel on the face at a fantastic price assuring me it wouldn't bother the sound and offered to fix it if it did. I still haven't repaired it. Places that have remained in business over the many years and are truly special during my younger days are few and far between.

Terry (the owner), was exceptionally helpful with suggestions about different types of wood, body shape, tonality and spent a good amount of time helping us find just the right one. We bought a Breedlove and a hardshell case, came home and we jammed together in our living room. You won't find this kind of customer service anywhere else in CNY.

I was here 3 times while home visiting my parents and both experiences were blah. The first time I came shopping in store. The parking lot is insane. It was early afternoon and we still had to park very far away. Inside the store things looked like a tornado went through in many different sections. They also had empty spots, and were out of quite a few things. The one thing that made me happy was the special biodegradable, reusable bags they are now using. They are super sturdy and def worth reusing, esp with NY State's plastic bag ban going into effect in the spring. The second and third times I did online order for pickup in store. I dont know if this is a newer option at this Target, but at home I am used to this being a very quick process. They even have reserved parking for it. Here I had to wait in line with everyone else wanting something out of the customer service desk, to which only one person was working. One instance I showed my barcode and they said it wasn't needed just my ID. The second instance they wanted my barcode and not the ID. No consistency. Some of my products ordered online upon pickup were not available and had to be cancelled.
