Carlton offers a wonderful personal experience. In Lakeland, Julie (3rd gen Carlton) is there to keep the family name and reputation high, and Joe Gavin, the best acoustic player in Lakeland, oversees the day-to-day operation. The repair department, unheard of in the big-box world, can do just about anything. Joe is the only one I trust with my touring instruments (This includes composite acoustic instruments). He is a master of wood repair and electronics, too. I feel you will be as happy as I am with the service at Carlton Music on Harden Blvd in Lakeland, FL.

I've been to a few of the events/concerts they've held and can see that the Music Box is unique in that Jim Chambers gives his students stage experience and exposure to the music scene that they wouldn't get elsewhere. Great place!

My children ages 5, 7 and 9 have been taking guitar and ukulele lessons at The Box for a year now…read more This place is funky and fantastic! The owner Jim is totally passionate about music and makes everyone feel completely welcome at the Box, like you are a guest in his home. Stix the Westie dog greets everyone at the door when you enter the orange musical paradise. The parents relax on the sofas while the students take their lessons. Adam teaches the string instruments - he is fun but firm, doesn't let the kids get away with too much but they are still having fun. He was able to get my somewhat shy 5 year old daughter to play her ukulele and sing in front of an audience of about 75 people! My oldest child just finished a week of Rock n Roll summer camp and he LOVED it. He felt like he was a big guy in a rock band. The kids put on performances regularly so they can learn about showmanship and it also builds their confidence. As a mom, it is important to me that the money we spend on music lessons is well spent and at The Box, I believe it is.

Taylor is a master teacher, with much experience both overseas in London and here in the United States. His teaching style is detail oriented, yet patient and good humored.

My personal experience with the Studio has been outstanding. I received one-to-one assistance from Owner/Music Director, Taylor Irelan, as I worked through my needs and priorities in a comfortable and private setting. The selection of flutes and piccolos from which I could choose gave me the time and opportunity to find just what I sought. In addition, the Studio handled the consignment and subsequent successful sale of my former flute. The website description of the Studio indicates that, when you walk in, you become part of their family; I agree!

It was always a desire of mine to really proper techniques really be able to sing along with my favorite artist without sounding like a wounded animal, lol. I started taking vocal lessons at Plant City Academy of the Arts a year ago, and to just tell you my vocal teacher is AMAZING, is an understatement. He is more like the "Voice Whisper". Not only did he help eliminate my fears of signing in front of people. He took me from not being able to find the correct note to singing a solo in front of a crowed. Something I thought I would never do. As I continue my lessons my voice is getting better I'm glad I stepped out of my comfort zone and started taking lessons. If your looking for voice leasons or want to learn how to play an instrument, then I highly recommend Plant City Academy of the Arts. The rates are very affordable and they have flexible times. signed, a very Satisfied Current Student.

I've been taking classical guitar lessons with Thomas Coffey at Tampa Guitar Lessons for over 10…read moreyears, and I honestly couldn't be happier with the experience. What really sets Thomas apart is how flexible and student-focused his teaching style is. He encourages you to study music that you personally find motivating, rather than forcing a rigid, one-size-fits-all curriculum. That makes a huge difference in staying engaged and excited about practicing. At the same time, he's very thorough and intentional. He doesn't rush you from one piece to the next--he really makes sure you reach a solid level of proficiency and understanding before moving on. Thomas also has an incredible depth of knowledge that's suitable for complete beginners all the way up to advanced players. On top of that, his guitar composition skills are exceptional--his original works are truly beautiful and show a deep understanding of the instrument and musical expression. If you're looking for a classical guitar teacher who's patient, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in your growth as a musician, I highly recommend Thomas.

When you are struggling with a piece he knows how to motivate you to keep trying. He selects music for me that is just right for my skill level. If I have a song request he can make that happen too. He is mindful of my time and always starts and ends lessons on time. His music studio reflects the things he loves in life; guitar, fishing, family and art. Private guitar lessons with Thomas are fun and priced just right!

He had lots of his older students helping to run the camp so it's a great mix of kids and teens. The young kids are allowed to touch and play with any instrument. Relaxed and casual environment. There are many different rooms with different themes such as vocals, piano, guitars etc. Conveniently-located and ample parking. This school is worth a try if you want kids to attend summer camp or private lessons. The teens here seem talented and happy to be at the school.
