They were very busy but he juggled multiple customers and phone calls and still got me processed in a timely manner. I have nothing but good things to say.

I'm not sure why they call this store Guitar Center, because it sure doesn't give a hint that they…read morehave much more than just guitars! I needed ukulele strings because I just inherited two ukuleles from my dad who recently passed away, and I'm going to learn how to play them better. I was looking for replacement strings, including low G for a tenor ukulele. Guitar Center didn't have the strings in stock, but I could look for them at the online Guitar Center site. I did find replacement fluorocarbon strings for my new (at least new to me) soprano ukulele. If you're looking for regular musical instruments that you could play in a rock band, such as keyboards, guitars, drums, and their accessories, instrument cases, music stands, speakers and amps, you could probably find it here and at different price points. The employee that I asked for assistance in locating where the ukulele replacement strings knew exactly which aisle to walk me to, but two other employees didn't seem to want to use the register to ring up my purchase so I could leave, making me wait until a third employee walked up to ask if I was ready to check out. After I said yes, he walked to get another employee to help me. At the end of the sale transaction, the employee thanked me. I just stood there looking at him. That's when he asked, "Didn't I give you your receipt?" I replied, "Yes, but you didn't give me my strings that I just paid for." In the short time that I was at the register, the employee managed to hide the strings from himself and it took him a few seconds to find them.

We absolutely love the music class at Taco Hills. Ms. Jeanette Luna is fantastic! She is funny,…read morefull of energy, and truly connects with the kids. You can tell kids adore her. :) We always look forward to our Wednesday sessions and are excited to continue with the new music collection. Special credit to whoever curates the playlist. The music is fun, engaging, and honestly so catchy that I often find it stuck in my head all day and don't mind it haha. I highly recommend these classes. It is a wonderful experience for children to develop a love for music and also have quality time with their parents.

We've enjoyed taking classes at the ASO and meeting ASO musicians after class for a brief info session about their instruments. We also really appreciate the Music Class' flexible make-up policy. If you're looking for something fun and educational, these class is definitely worth considering!

Wow. Low blow here so let me set the record absolutely straight:…read more 1. My kid had lice - Low dig and dishonest. But that's just a distraction from the actual content of my review --- quality of instruction and management sucks. 2. "highly sought after teacher" / "works 6 days a week" - what this really means is you're understaffed and overworking your teachers. If they're working 6 days a week how can they possibly meaningfully engage with their students? Don't confuse lack of teacher supply with quality of teacher. Parents are smarter than that. 3. We provide welcome packets for instruction. This completely misses the point. What about meaningful parent engagement to ensure practice at home? What about recitals to showcase learning? A packet is not a replacement for meaningful dialogue and musical learning. I repeat - we were there for almost a year, RECITALS NEVER HAPPENED. We doubled up with voice lessons + piano lessons. Parents --- do the math, this was a terrible investment. Conclusion: We've been at ZTunes and have never been happier. As a parent, I'm too busy to throw shade or unnecessarily put down small businesses. This experience was severe enough for me to do so (TWICE), because I feel like I have an obligation to parents out there who are just looking for a meaningful musical experience for their children.

I took my kiddo here for MusikGarten, an interactive sing-along music class. Miss Kaitlyn was…read moreawesome. Her class wore me and the kiddo out and taught me some musical activities I can do at home. Highly recommend the MusikGarten if you have kids. Before the class I walked around the facility and witnessed other activities going on. This place is legit. They take music from the fundamentals all the way to fine tuning veterans. Piano lessons and music theory for all ages. Hoping to find the time to get myself enrolled for piano lessons as well.

(A new record!) The nice man working the store was very helpful and was able to talk to me about their current inventory. They didn't have any Gibson guitars or pointy metal guitars, but their Fender and acoustic selection are solid. When I asked about specific products, he offered to call the store owner to haggle (awesome)! I didn't buy anything, we had to head back to downtown Atlanta for Coheed & Cambria, but I would certainly stop back in and/or haggle with them on Reverb. TLDR; looking for a Fender or an acoustic? Stop in.

** This review is just on the WeeJam Music Class for Kids **…read more We just attended our first Wee Jam class and it was so much fun! It is for kids ages 0-5, which at first I was nervous about, but it was fine. Parent involvement is needed, so if you think you are going to go and just watch, you are wrong. The class is on Saturdays before the store opens, and you need to per-register. It is an 8 week class that is about $130 for one kid and $200 for 2. The teacher gets everyone to sing songs, play instruments, and dance. My kids loved the drums and the songs. They made us all have a dance party and my little guy was rocking out to " We will Rock You" by Queen. It is nice that it is not all kiddy songs. They also were showing the kids how to keep a rhythm with drum sticks. I highly recommend this class to anyone with little rock stars!

The staff is very organized and professional which I appreciated so much! My kids are already asking for more weeks of camp!!!

school of I don't give a shit!!! is a more apt name. dad found this place and I agreed to pay for…read moreit bc baby girl loves to sing and I have to support that at all costs. I was told 300 and called them up to confirm and for an explanation of what to expect. The not so friendly Renee told me the 300.00 included 1 month of lessons for 45 mins each and 1/week reherersal. Fine. How do I pay I asked? "Ummmm..... well you can just send me your info in an emai.....l I guess....."WTF? okay..... No thanks, I will just pay in person when I come. When I arrived Renee wasn't there and apparently neither was anyone else who could process my payment. Not only that -they were not ready for my daughter either and suggested that I take off and that she "hang out" there for about an hour and half with them. She's 8!! ok...... Surely they mean that there are some other kids perhaps in the same situation and they have some activities planned for them or something along those lines. I quickly figured out that was not the case as I watched the instructors skip out to lunch. Since no else said anything else to me I decided to sit and wait with my daughter until they returned and made time for her....A few days later I checked my bank account only to find that school of rock had charged me double. #$%^&*(. And when I called and spoke with the owners Mike and Renee, they cheerfully responded with sarcasm and reassured me again that "WE DONT GIVE A SHIT!!!!!" AND just to make sure that I got the message Mike sent me a cheerful email..with all exclaimation points..that he PERSONALLY DOESN"T GIVE 2 SHITS!!! . My next issue with these assclowns. After talking to my daughter I realized she was not receiving the private lessons I was paying for....so I emailed the owners. Who again treated me with zero respect. Ok, i get it. You are in a prime buckhead location, making money hand over fist and DONT GIVE A SHIT but really...that's just not cool. I emailed Mike AGAIN for my refund and this time he didn't respond with all all excamation points!! hey! Christina! We don't give a shit!!! So maybe I will get my well deserved refund. In the meantime, all the instructors seem nice and my mini me likes coming here..which makes the fact that owners don't care about customer service all the more incredibly frustating.

Time to review my kids' music lessons! We've been sooo happy with Eclectic…read more Background: My spouse is a professional musician who is mostly self-taught, and has a company that does mommy/me music classes for ages 0-4; I also do some music as a side gig and was classically trained (Suzuki) though don't do classical anymore, and both of my sisters have taught piano. We wanted our kids to love music first and foremost. That's what Eclectic prioritizes, and we really couldn't be happier with it. It's a little weird for me to imagine my kids NOT taking classical-type piano just because I was immersed in that growing up and it was such a big part of my youth. But I also had some reservations about my "path" which gave me lots of sightreading skills and a good musical ear, but I had a ton of insecurity being as good at piano as I was but having zero improv / chords skills. Until I started playing with my husband in my 30s, I could not "sit down" at a piano despite having devoted my entire upbringing to it; I was nothing without sheet music in front of me. We weren't in a hurry to start them on formal music lessons, but my younger child (currently age 7) had taken an interest in drumming before he even turned 1, and was really talented, but I was noticing his technique wasn't good so we decided to get him lessons just before he turned 4 - mainly so he would learn the right stick technique before getting too attached to something that would be hard to unlearn. Then the pandemic happened, of course. But we kept up with virtual lessons for him, and then later added voice lessons for my older child (age 9), who didn't so much take to the virtual lesson but then started taking ukulele last year and absolutely loved it, particularly her teacher Lily. Both of their teachers (Stevie and Lily) play and teach multiple instruments, so my kids can change it up when they get bored, and are already learning multiple instruments. Maybe my favorite part of Eclectic is the showcase. This is not your mother's piano recital - the kids are up on stage at the Red Light Cafe and the cash bar is open! Such a cool experience for both of my kids, and I had a great time. I repeat, I had a great time at my kids' music recital. Eclectic also has "regular" piano recitals, but even these seem to be filled with so much more creativity than mine growing up. Kids sometimes play their own original songs, and the variety is amazing! I am not knocking Suzuki, but listening to the same 10 "book 1" tunes (Lightly Row, Honeybee, ........) at least once per recital for 12 years... oof! The recitals I've been to are pretty short and go quickly, and I rarely hear repeats. Finally - we love their summer camps, which culminate in a 6-song mini-concert where the kids have two bands that play all together as an ensemble. It's just awesome. We're so happy.
