We purchased a used sax for my son a couple months ago. Was told we get a free inspection and…read moreadjustment, including up to 2 new pads. We left it with them and picked it up a little later. Fast forward 2 months and my son is complaining now that his skills have increased and his private instructor said to get it checked out. We dropped a light inside in a dark room and there is light everywhere with the keys closed. If you press really hard you can get rid of most but not all of the light. Paying Ted Brown $225 to get a couple new pads, a hole leveled, and a couple bent keys fixed. My son has babied this thing so I know it's not new damage. I doubt they actually looked at it. Buyer beware. Otherwise we are happy with the purchase, just won't be going here for servicing.

I keep meaning to write the review. I must tell you how wonderful of a school this is…read more Each and every teacher (Angela, Sarah, Trent, Eli) demonstrate conventional and non conventional teaching methods, kindness, warmth, approachability and passion. My daughters are all in piano and my littles picked up an additional instrument. My daughter is learning flute and loves it, even if right now it is just a year of learning to blow correctly. My five (now six) year old picked up drums and will randomly start beating a tune using different surfaces where ever we find ourselves. She is hearing music in everything around her. Music 1st/Tuned In also demonstrates grace when I have mommy meltdowns, when I am late on payment because I am waiting on paid medical, and when I try to work the schedule around a second job. It is a little cramped in that big house, but it is a house of love in our family. I can't thank you enough.

My kiddos take lessons for so many different instruments and they take all of them at Tuned in…read moreAcademy and their sister school Music 1st. They are the best! All of the instructors are knowledgeable about their music. Not only that but they are attentive to their students needs and learning style. If one strategy doesn't work, they try another. Lessons are fun and engaging for the whole family!

I have two kids with two very different personalities taking piano lessons with Shawn. He does…read moregreat with both. He's patient and kind and recognizes when they take an interest in something. I like sitting in the building while they have lessons and listening to one of the very talented vocal teachers as well as the other instruments we have heard playing (guitar, flute, etc.). Convenient location and parking isn't hard to find. The building isn't shiny and new but it has what you need. :)

He has done an awesome job in regulating the action and making the piano sound great. He's very friendly and obviously has a passion for what he does. Also, he is a very talented player and always inspires me when he completes his work and tries out the finished product.

This is our first time using Pianova Piano Service because our prior piano technician moved away…read more I was extremely pleased. The technician, Ryan, is meticulous in his cleaning and tuning. Before he started, we had a discussion about what I expected, including "strict" or "loose" tuning of the bass notes. When he finished, the piano was immaculately clean, the hammers voiced, and tuning perfect. In addition, Ryan is friendly and clearly loves his job. Piano tuning doesn't get any better than this.
