I feel so fortunate that Anthony was recommended to me. He played at my father's Memorial Service…read moreat Miramar National Cemetery. Anthony was very conscientious about arriving early to set up, was extremely professional, and is such a caring and kind person. Included in the music were 2 songs that have been special to my family- the music was so beautiful that many of us teared up with joy. His talents playing classical guitar were a perfect complement to the service. Everyone there commented on the beautiful music and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. I highly recommend having Anthony play for you- his music will make your event even more meaningful.

Anthony is extremely conscientious and arrived about 1-1/2 to 2 hours early in order to set up properly at the outdoor venue...He made sure that his extension cord was well secured by tape. During his break he took a few photos and sent them to me the following day. I can highly recommend him.

I like that Nate is so serious about his music and that spills over into his teaching…read more. He enjoys the process and challenging his students to try more difficult musical genres. He's never sloppy in his approach to the sound and technique he wants his students to master so it's great to work with a guitar teacher who takes himself and his student's improvement seriously. Of course it doesn't hurt that he's an excellent musician and an established, successful song writer. With Nate every lesson moves you further on in your own musical development. That's all you can ask from a teacher and Nate's a good one

My daughter has been taking piano and voice over 2 years and has gone from being in the ensemble to getting the lead role in her last musical! They tailor the lessons to fit the needs of the student. They are great with kids, ex-professional performers (they know their stuff), and easy to work with (accommodating & flexible) - everything you want in a music teacher. My neighbor's daughter took lessons from American Music Academy on multiple instruments and is in the high school band as a freshman (rarely happens). I can't recommend American Music Academy enough!

My daughter, Maggie takes piano from Dave because she likes all the "young" music. Their team can teach you any style your heart desires. They are both very flexible with our crazy schedule, which I appreciate enormously! The convenience of having an at-home lesson is very rare today. They show up at our door on time, ready to teach with a huge smile. David is wonderful with my daughter. He has an uncanny ability to make her laugh and learn all at the same time. I would recommend American Music Academy to anyone who wants to learn music. Did I also mention - David is multi-talented - he plays many different instruments AND he also teaches vocals. Thanks for bringing music into our lives!

I have had the same experience with this company as the other reviewer. I bought a travel guitar…read moreonline, was quickly billed for it, and never received it. I have called them many times, and left a bunch of messages which are never returned. Do not buy anything from this company online! As near as I can tell, their mode of operation is 1) bill immediately. 2) Never ship the product. 3) never answer either of their phone numbers (888) 994-8482 or (760) 918-0348. 4) Never return calls no matter how many messages you leave. I will now be forced to go through the lengthy process of contesting this billing with my credit card company and with Square, the company that handles 2Kool's credit card processing. If this is not your idea of happy shopping I suggest you look elsewhere.

I normally don't write reviews, but my recent experience with the Guitar Center San Marcos Lessons…read moreDepartment needs to be shared, especially for parents considering lessons for their children. My son has been taking guitar lessons here for months and absolutely loves his instructor, Tristan. Unfortunately, the issue isn't with the instructors, it's with the front-end communication and customer service. After two of my credit cards were compromised, a number of auto-renew subscriptions needed updating. At no point, phone, text, or in person--did anyone from Guitar Center notify me of a declined payment, despite the Lessons Lead repeatedly claiming they "called" and "spoke to me in person." I checked my call history. The last call I received from Guitar Center was October 16, and it was simply Tristan confirming my son was running two minutes late. That's it. No billing conversation. No declined-card conversation. No warning. Nothing. Beyond that, my son (a minor) was physically in the store for his lessons throughout November. If someone had truly spoken to me "in person," as claimed, I would (1) remember it and (2) logically update my payment method on the spot. That's basic common sense. But no one--neither Lily nor Greg, the two people supposedly escalating the issue--ever approached us. In fact, I couldn't identify them if I tried, because no one ever actually spoke to us. The most upsetting part? My son was left sitting alone, waiting, because his lessons were suddenly canceled without any communication. No one told him. No one told me. That is not acceptable treatment of a child. When I reached out for clarification, I received a generic, copy-and-paste email insisting they had reached out "multiple times." They hadn't. And when I pointed this out, with dates and call records, the response doubled down instead of acknowledging the missteps. I pride myself on honesty and integrity, especially when it comes to my children. Being told that things happened that objectively did not happen is frustrating, dismissive, and frankly unprofessional. To be absolutely clear: No calls were made. No in-person conversations occurred. No texts were sent. And my child should never have been left unattended because of an internal communication breakdown. The instructors are great,but the lesson administration needs serious improvement. Parents deserve transparent communication, accountability, and accuracy, especially when the wellbeing and experience of a child are involved. I hope management takes this feedback to heart so other families don't have the same experience. My son loved his lessons and his instructor, but the customer service side made what should have been an easy fix both stressful and disappointing.

You got my money, but you've lost my business…read more (paraphrased) Me: I'm looking for a Yamaha P-45. Guitar Center guy (eyes lighting up like he just spotted a commission): Sure thing. (Shows me the P-45, then immediately pivots to upsell.) If you're looking for hammer action that feels like a real piano, you'll want this next model up. Me: How much is that one? Him: $699. Me: That's out of my budget and I thought the P-45 was hammer action? Him: No, it's weighted, not hammer action. You need this one for that. Me: ...Okay. I'm going to stick with the P-45. Purchase complete. Me, later at home, checking Yamaha's official site: Graded Hammer Standard (GHS) Action. So. Either he didn't know what he was talking about... or he did and thought I didn't. Either way: 1. You got the sale. 2. You won't get another.

We were to use Eric as our ceremony officiant, reception MC, and his crew handled all sound, DJing, and photobooth, they did it all! He was also available through e-mail and text answering all questions we had. He was unable to make the wedding rehearsal and told us ahead of time, and even wrote out the script so we could get someone to read his parts, working out perfectly! On the following day of the ceremony, everything went amazingly smooth. His sound set up was great and everyone could hear clearly. He even memorized all of his stuff as little did we know the sun was blindingly reflective on his ipad. His crew was amazing. All the music and sound was clear and played perfectly timed. The ceremony music went flawlessly, the grand entrance was exciting, and our big show of a first dance was cued up with the music perfectly. Our photo booth was manned, and the attendant working it was fun, enthusiastic and getting the people hyped and dancing! They even customized the settings of the printed photos given to guests with a cool star wars motif and our names! One of my favorite moments, was him working with our photographer during the reception, to get all the people gathered to take a massive group picture on the dance floor and then cue the music while everyone was already there to get people dancing! Coming up with a music list is kind of hard when you are busy planning a wedding, but luckily I was able to just give a list of 20 to 30 motown/funk/disco songs that my wife and I enjoyed, and the DJ was able to come up and fill in the rest of the playlist with a ton of fun music that fit the theme and kept the night fun! If I had to plan another major event, and I wanted to minimize things I would have to worry about, I would book MUZZii events in less than a heartbeat!

I really liked that he offers many services and can act as a one stop shop without having to hire multiple vendors. Ultimately, we hired Eric and his team as our DJ and photo booth. Eric was a great MC and he was able to get my Korean family onto the dance floor and have a great time! Anyone who has ever been to a Korean wedding knows that is an incredible feat. I've never seen my parents dance together before and it was so much fun dancing with my older aunts and uncles! Don't get me wrong, the young people had a blast too! We were so happy with the ease of the whole process and great service. Eric and his team were big contributors to making our wedding day so special and stress free.
