As a musician and former music teacher myself I have a deep appreciation for the enormous musical growth she has seeded in my girls, especially considering they both spend a ton of time dancing every week and don't get to practice much. I've taken some lessons with her myself and experienced it firsthand. She answers my questions, works to understand my difficulties, and gets right to the fundamental issues of technique and knowledge that need to be addressed. But I've also watched her with my daughters and seen how her approach is different--and appropriate to their ages and levels of musical development. If I had to do it over I would choose Anahit again. And if my kids were more serious about pursuing music, I would *still* choose Anahit. We're excited that she is opening her own place!

Great little instrument store in Chatsworth, perfect spot to buy your first guitar, or if your…read morechild is interested in learning guitar, bass, violin, or ukulele this place has a fantastic selection of inexpensive quality instruments that will get your foot in the door and be serviceable for years. The owner is very friendly and helpful, and bends over backwards to make sure that customers feel at home and all questions are answered. They also have an incredible selection of traditional Chinese instruments, which is a niche I have not seen covered by other music stores in the Valley. There is a small parking lot, spaces are reserved by suite #, this is Suite E and there are several spots right by the entrance. The door may be locked during open hours, however do knock, the owner will open it and welcome you in. The brands offered are Glams and Caraya, made by the same manufacturer that also builds instruments for the big brand names, and this store is a wholesaler (hence the great prices). I was not familiar with these brands before coming here, but after spending a while playing these instruments they are much higher quality than what I started out with when I was first playing, and they are beautiful when it comes to the appearance, real mother of pearl inlays, beautiful stains, it really is a lot of value for the price. Tanyan also offers great accessories including leather straps, strings, jewelry, and ornaments, so if you are looking for a gift for a musician this is a great place to shop! They have a VIP program for repeat customers, be sure to ask about it. This is a great place for burgeoning musicians!

Teresa was friendly and accommodating to our needs. The shop is a treasure trove of fun surprises.read more

I left a message asking about sound healing instruments. I've been to crystal shops, spiritual…read moreshops, and metaphysical shops. But, some offer some, but not other items. I thought I'd tried a musical instrument store as well. The owner Jen called me back, and even though she doesn't have sound healing instruments, she gave me recommendations of places to contact. She also is checking with someone that might have one of the specific instruments I'm looking for second hand. We shall see. Not everyone takes the time and effort to help others, and just kind of says no they don't have it, and moves on with their day. She is my kind of people. Anyway, I recommend her place of business just for being kind, and helpful.

I rented a saxophone here for my son. We got a beat up old thing which I wasn't too happy about but…read moresince my son was just beginning, I thought it would be ok. Well after a few months things started just falling off the instrument and my son couldn't hit some of the notes because it was in such bad condition. Then a piece kept falling off so we finally took it in for repair. The owner, Jeff (I believe) took one look and started accusing my son of denting it and not taking care of it. He exclaimed that the instrument was like new and my son created all these new dents! I honestly couldn't believe how he was accusing my son, all arrogant and condescending. Telling my son how irresponsible he was! How would he know, Jeff wasn't the person that rented us the beat up old instrument in the first place. He never inspected it, and this instrument was a piece of crap when rented to us! Because I had the insurance, I paid the $50 deductible for the repair and they gave us another instrument. One that was in better condition (but not great). But my son still had trouble with it and he still couldn't hit some of the low notes. My son started to get discouraged and thought about switching instruments (to trumpet) because he thought he was a terrible saxophone player. My son told me all the other students had really nice saxophones rented from Nick Rails. So we decided to switch. When we turned in the crappy saxophone, Jeff then accused my son of denting this saxophone! The dent was there previously but Jeff refused to acknowledge that and insisted (quite rudely) that my son dented it. Then he exclaimed the sax was corroded! It was NOT. Can you believe this guy? He took my deposit for this and I was so sick of dealing with this rude, arrogant guy over the past several months I didn't bother arguing anymore. I'm so glad we took our business elsewhere. Nick Rails in Agoura Hills rents superior good quality instruments. My son is so happy with his new sax from Nick Rails. He can hit all the low notes, no problems at all. The issue wasn't my son's skills, it was those crappy instruments from West Valley Music Center!

Unlike those "cry wolf" Craigslist ads posted for several years, Jammin Jersey will actually CLOSE forever soon and do a REAL liquidation / estate sale there this weekend: Friday, Saturday & Sunday, Sept. 4 thru 6: https://abc7.com/videoClip/19772304/?link_source=ta_first_comment&taid=6a98dbb0a25f5e000152c8cc&fbclid=IwdGRjcAUGsnhwZG9mBWZkaWQWUNv78nSsaQjUl8bF8gPZTLmbnqcpZ2V4dG4DYWVtAjExAHNydGMGYXBwX2lkCjY2Mjg1NjgzNzkAAR7UjK4vEkByG1tfWk7nBZkMxrflkne8YJuJIRf4K3y-vuZ-z5W9HfAMXmvSvw_aem_97m9895WNHfOucjZehgcRQ -------- It's basically tons of musical gear & equipment in various used and new condition & hoarded up and stacked from ceiling to floor & with the owner dude sitting behind a counter ready to take cash only, cuz he don't have a credit card terminal?! Decent selection of drum gear, cymbals, etc., guitar cables & straps; strings that might be years old; used speaker cones, some guitar and bass cabinets ... Limited selection of guitar pedals, guitars and basses, guitar and bass amps & no tubes for amps. I think a drummer and/or obscure gear hoarder might find something interesting. Location is actually one block away from the Guitar Center Northridge. I probably imagine that Dave Grohl, whose Studio 606 is also located nearby in Northridge, probably came here one time and said, "Naaahhh, nope." I come here for bargains on guitar straps, strings & cables; but everything else is inexplicably priced at MSRP ?! Hoarded, cluttered, dingy, messy gear vibe, (like it all came out directly from a storage unit or estate sale of some hoarder house) might be a big turn off, though. Open Saturdays 12 - 5 and sometimes Sundays 12 - 5.

We enrolled our son in guitar lessons ten years ago and never in our wildest dreams did we think it would turn into this. After about 2-3 live band performances each year, our son is flourishing in music and has developed an artistic personality that has lead to his band, The Silence, to do great things. They recently won first place at Battle of the Bands at Northridge Park on May 16th. They will be performing at the Valley Blockfest in Chatsworth on June 28th along with having their very first gig at the Whiskey a Go Go on July 17th. The environment at SoundCheck is so welcoming and encouraging that every student we see perform there gets better and better every time. The culture that Dan and Electra have built has also brought the parents closer together as we all high five each other every time we see our children perform and flourish. I highly recommend anyone who is interested in any form of musical expression to check out SoundCheck Music School and meet with Dan and Electra to figure out next steps!
