I started my son Alexander who has a IEP in school and is on the spectrum (special needs) when he was 8years old playing ukelele. He since has continued playing uke and over the past 4 years has been taking lessons for piano to get ready for his next year marching band audition for Cherry Creek High School! He had held a A+in his middle school band all through 6th, 7th, and now 8th grade he's way ahead of his peers in so many areas of music. Fast forward to 2 years ago our oldest son wanted to audition and compete for first chair trumpet in his band class as a junior in high school at cherry creek high school. He felt he maxxed out with where he was at and needed that extra push and tutoring to acheive more. He asked me to sign him up for private trumpet lessons this past summer. Here we are in September of same year and after a summer of private lessons he auditioned and made FIRST CHAIR TRUMPET in his band class and for Cherry Creek Marching Band !!! (Did I mention CCHS ranked #1 for welcome week and in 5A tournament )!!! Wendy&Dale are the best ! All the instructors they hire are top notch and our invested in their students to succeed and not just in music but the why behind music , their self esteem, and technical skills that go along with it. I could t be more blessed to have found this school for my children. I have two other kids that will also play music this year. One more trumpet and one more piano or drums!!! This school has an amazing g new facility that they are in the process of moving into because they grew out of their old one ! They are so humble but I feel like if there is anyone out there that is looking for a true music school who will help their child learn music, love music appreciate music and embrace music this has to be the school they enroll in!!! Thank you CMI for all you have done and continue to do !! Congratulations on your award for National Music School of the Year!!!!!!!!

I took a couple of lessons there as well to get a few chops on boogie boogie piano, and Andy was great! I never felt pressured to sign up for huge packages and Andy helped me find resources to further my boogie boogie passion! I can't believe that little ole' Castle Rock has such an outstanding place for great music lessons and quality and affordable instruments! I've been a customer for more than 7 years and love that they've only grown!!! Jason (the owner) has been nothing but helpful in both my and my daughter's progression in developing a love for music. He's straight forward and won't give you the run around for anything. I'm not a fan of wishy washy or pandering, and Jason is straight-up - I always know where I stand with him, and have always felt well treated :) I wish I could give a constructive criticism, but my experience over the years with Jason and Castle Rockmusic have been great - so keep it up! :)

A five star it is. The owner is a very pleasant gentleman and invited me to play any instrument in the store I wanted to. He had several resonator guitars in the shop and after strumming a few I took down a metal bodied Recording King biscuit cone for a test drive. I thought it sounded pretty good but I wasn't sure about the price? I never impulse buy a musical instrument without researching it and the price. Although his price is slightly higher than an internet price it isn't unreasonable for a store price and seems very fair. Unfortunately (or fortunately depending on your point of view) I have a couple guitars I use for slide now and this wasn't "the One" that I'm searching for but I'd recommend it and the shop to anybody I know looking for a nice resonator. After I was done hearing what this res had to offer ( and the owner complimented me on my playing) we chatted about guitars for a bit. A lady came in with a couple guitars to have them checked and re-strung and he was very professional and courteous to the woman that obviously was a novice. He made good recommendations for her and didn't attempt to upsell her with expensive strings or other items she didn't need. As I left the store he asked me to please come back anytime and I will anytime I'm up this way because you never know where and when "the One" will appear and also because I enjoy supporting small businesses whenever I can.
