The School of Rock has changed my son's and our family's life. My 19 year old son, who has special…read moreneeds, was welcomed into the school as if he had always been there. He has felt totally comfortable learning new things, as well as "just hanging out" at the school. They were and continue to be flexible in how they work with my son and other students including creating a "one on one" week camp for my son. It was during this time that his instructor, Dominic, identified his special musical talents. He now wants to go into a career in music.

Music instruction in our youth is key for intellectual achievement as it fosters creativity and ingenuity in our daily lives. Being able to "create a party" wherever one goes gives a pleasant journey and real personhood for leadership and success. Bright-eyed and happy, the kids attending The School of Rock are the best of the best. They even get to regularly ascend the Stage at the Friday Morning Musical to play their hearts out. Real stewardship, real role models, The School of Rock on Mac Dill in south Tampa is awesome.

We first met him at the Greek Festival in Tampa and then had a phone call shortly after. He was so easy to work with, very helpful with suggestions, and made us feel comfortable. Our guests thought this was such a unique part of the wedding, and you can't beat his value for his time and music. He was really great, and you can tell he loves what he does. I would highly recommend him for any wedding.

Not only a world renown guitar player, but he is a plethora of knowledge when it comes to all things guitar, strings, setups, etc. And the best thing about Joe is he is a lover of Jesus! Check this place out, Great place to visit!

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.

Someone at our wedding came up to me and said "I didn't know a wedding band could actually be good…read more This band defies the wedding band stereotype, like what you see in The Wedding Singer." I think that says it all. Our guests absolutely raved about Phase 5. They are true professionals and so incredibly talented. Their versatility is amazing and they have a huge list of songs they can play. They played for our cocktail hour and then 3 hours straight (!!!) during the reception. The dance floor was packed the entire time, they read the crowd so well, and for the end of the night Josh did a fantastic job DJing based on the musical genres I requested. They also went above and beyond what we expected and saved us from a wedding disaster. We had a steel drummer booked to play during our ceremony. When he didn't show up until 5 minutes before our ceremony was starting, Phase 5 jumped right in and handled the music for when guests were arriving and during the ceremony. As for me? I was already a huge fan, having seen them perform around Tampa for years. For that reason, I chose my wedding date based on when Phase 5 was available and I booked them within a week of getting engaged. They traveled all the way to the Keys for our wedding, too. If you want a band at your wedding, this is who you need to hire. Be sure to act fast because they are in high demand -- they were doing 4 weddings the weekend of our wedding!

I think the ultimate compliment to them came when our reception was crashed by people wanting to see what kind of amazing party was going on! :) Even better, my husband and father-in-law are both finicky musicians themselves, and they wholeheartedly approved of Phase 5. Josh was so friendly and easy to contact for setting up all the details. Highly, highly recommended!!
