Not only did John fix it right there in front of us, but John complemented my kiddo on how well he was caring for his instrument, Andy was working near John and showed us his current project, and John talked with us like old friends while he worked on my son's guitar. The cherry on top- he had it all fixed, and tuned within 20 minutes for a grand total of $5. My son is already begging to go back and explore more of the store! We will be back!!

We signed two of our boys up for School of Rock over the summer, and it quickly became the…read morehighlight of the week for both of them. They looked forward to every class, and it was incredible to see their confidence and love of music grow. The instructors were fantastic, especially Noah, the keys instructor. After every practice, he sent thoughtful, detailed notes that were such a joy to read. He always highlighted our son's progress, spoke so positively about his potential, and made it clear that he truly cared about helping each student grow. Those updates meant so much to us as parents. The owner, Michael, is also wonderful to work with. He's incredibly hands-on, approachable, and genuinely invested in the success of both the students and the program. You can tell he pours his heart into creating a positive experience for every family. We also had the pleasure of interacting with Lex and Ally, and they were just as amazing--friendly, helpful, and always willing to answer questions or lend a hand. We're so grateful for the entire School of Rock team for making this such a positive and memorable experience. We highly recommend this program to any family looking for a fun, encouraging, and supportive place for their kids to learn music!

As the mother of a musician, I've learned far more about instruments and accessories than I ever…read moreknew before. I still may not be able to identify everything, but I'm getting better. While I was in town visiting my son, he mentioned that there was a music store not far from us that he'd like to visit. I wasn't prepared for the size of this place-it's far more than just a "music store." He had a gleeful look of awe as he admired the selection of brass instruments and was able to play a few of them too. He'll be ready to make a purchase soon, so he wants to know for sure which one is just right. If you don't quite know what you're looking for, or need some elevated service, you might find someone, you might not. It's a more laid-back approach to customer service-we had to seek someone out for help. But I suppose I prefer that over an in-your-face sales person trying to close a deal.

I was looking for a place to have some work done, every time I walked into a big name store I got…read morethe vibe the tech didn't want to work on my gear. Probably because he was getting paid x dollars an hour either way. Meeting and having work done by Ted was exactly the opposite experience. He took the time to explain what he was going to do (or not do if not needed). After it was done he explained what my guitar could still use, and what I personally could do with brief instructions on how to do it... I can promise you the guitar center tech guys wont tell you how to save money like that. Hell, they were trying to convince me that nylon strings were too hard for me to string up lol. (true story) I could go on and on, I brought in a dirty guitar that had been sitting in a closet for years, and picked up a nice shiny guitar even after I told him not to worry about cleaning it up. Especially since the job I had him do was so small. If you are looking for somewhere friendly and affordable to have your guitar/bass worked on.... you found it. I will without a doubt be using them again.
