My 10 year old daughter has bed been taking singing lessons for 2 months and it has been nothing…read morebut the same song. Just practice the words was the direction she was given. No structure, no technical training as we would expect. The teacher wanted her to do a recital and the teacher would play the background music. My daughter was nervous but we built up the courage to do it. After weeks of practicing we all got dressed up and went today. Upon arrival my daughter was told her teacher did not come and she would have no support or background music. My daughter bravely stood up in front of the crowd and sang the song with complete silence / no music, which was quite heartbreaking to watch, than preceded to cry the whole way home embarrassed. To top it off she was not offered the pin that all the other teachers gave there students. I can't recommend this school. The seem more interested in the recurring revenue of tuition than developing individual talents of the students.

The LSM team has been nothing but fantastic to our family and has propelled my son to choose to…read morepursue a music degree in college. We have been with Stephan and his team for about 4 years. My son had started to play the guitar just 6 months earlier and really wanted to be part of a band. His guitar skills improved greatly and expanded his interest into bass guitar and into drums. The 1:1 lessons were fantastic. Their summer camp became a launching pad to get into a band. Since then, he has taken up song writing and now plays different instruments in the band depending on the song or the talent need. They have even performed some of their original songs! Without LMS and the nurturing they provided for our young musician, I don't know if he would have gained the confidence and developed the passion he now uses to thrive. Thank you Dillon, Stephan and the LMS team!

But I was not getting anywhere even after calling saying I returned it to the Littleton, CO store. I finally got a refund 3 months later after I did a chargeback on my account. However they said they refunded me twice and charged me again without indicating they were doing this. Very poor customer service and the system they have for returns is terrible. I will not be going here ever again

We have rented since 2021 for our daughter, who started on the clarinet. We were very pleased at…read morehow easy the rental process was for a student musician. She switched to flute promptly into her sixth grade year and played until she graduated eighth grade. She then switched to the cello. No issues with switching. She's been playing cello for the last year and decided she wanted to switch to keyboard. We own a keyboard. So, I went in to discuss what our options were for returning our rental and purchasing a violin for our other daughter. The gentlemen at the counter explained how much we had in rental equity, closed my account, and said I had 30 days to decide on an instrument before my equity would be no longer valid. I went in today, a few days before my equity would expire and he told me that I can only use 50% of my equity on another instrument. I asked if I switched the account to a violin could I then purchase it? He told me my account is closed already and there's nothing he can do. So, we rented for four years and just trashed over $1k in rental equity because they will not sell me a student violin using the exactly amount of equity I've built. I spoke to the same person both visits. I am very unhappy with this outcome and will not be recommending Music & Arts to any new student musicians. The whole point of this is to let children play music and figure out what they like or don't like. When a child finds the instrument they like, I would hope the music store we've been loyally renting from would be thrilled to make a purchase happen for said child so they can continue their musical journey. Really, really disappointing.

To preface, I think if I had reviewed School of Rock when I was still attending the school, my…read morerating would have been higher, but looking back on my experiences there I've found that it fostered a toxic environment. If you're looking to learn an instrument, it's great, but the social aspect is not well managed. Students who did not put school of rock first (over regular school, other activities, and jobs) were not respected by instructors, even though this should have been a fun extra curricular. I found in my personal experiences, staff being rude over missed rehearsals due to illness (pre-covid), lack of respect for seasons off, and an overall disappointing attitude when it came to high schoolers not putting music first (even when it was just an after school activity). The staff frequently became closer with students (showing, at times, blatant favoritism), and instead of instructing them and being the adults to look up to, became involved in petty drama of teenagers - even taking sides if their "star student" was showing less than admirable behavior towards other students. It could have been a fantastic after school experience- and it certainly had its positives, but as long as the school continues to operate the way it does, I would be remiss to recommend the Littleton school. I did have fun at the shows and learned instruments - but I can't say it was worth the experience I had with the instructors at this particular location.

I had my clarinet worked on here because my tenon corks became deteriorated. When I got my…read moreclarinet back after repairing the corks a few weeks later, the left-side b key no longer played. I have a fancy Buffet R13 clarinet and their professional clarinetist played it for me and testified to me that it plays great... so when the clarinet stopped functioning after the cork repair, I know exactly what happened and why. Nevertheless this shop was very pissy about taking care of the problem for me and made me pay to have the problem fixed. So I decided okay, I don't give a damn about the money, just fix my instrument. So then after I got the instrument back, the B key is working normally again and the C key on the left-side no longer seals properly. I didn't notice this in the shop when I tried it out because I was just focused on the left-side B key. What a comedy of f@@@ing errors. This store is a disaster. And I regret ever having walked in the door in the first place.
