I was scoping out the…read moreParamount a couple of stores down and afterwards, my inner spidey-sense told me to keep on walking before heading to the car. I'm glad I listened to my intuition because when I looked up, I saw a sign.. literally. In red and white letters it read "NY Music Garage" and below it a window decal which exclaimed "A Different Kind of Music Store." As soon as I walked in it was clear that those words were true. I was immediately greeted with a warm welcome. I had initially planned to just scope out their collection and perhaps jam, while getting to know the store, but with so many affordable goodies around, I just had to shop. The awesome fellas there helped me pick up a perfectly fitting guitar slide, a strap lock and even a homemade guitar-shaped cutting board!! It's made of walnut, shaped like a Les Paul and sealed in food-grade sealant... how cool is that?! They even had two other variations, a tele and and a strat. After all that shopping, I was ready to try some guitars. They kindly guided me to a private practice room, which had plenty of space to move around, several fun amps and phenomenal acoustics. Looking around the store, it was clear they carried an awesome collection of new, used and vintage axes... all at fair & reasonable prices too! I'm absolutely stoked with my haul and will definitely be back next time I'm out in Huntington! Thanks fellas!

I had my daughter here for 4 years. But toward the end Monica decided to vilify my kid over a lie…read moreabout her sharing a picture of one of her employees Tom in his Halloween costume with other students, said Corporate called her over it because they monitor my 12 year olds daughters social media accounts. Corporate knew nothing of this, we did reach out to them!! That was not the only thing Monica say to her that didn't jive, but in short Monica annihilated my daughters confidence to the point she almost quit music all together. After speaking to Monica about it she assured me they would make the changes needed to make her feel at home and rebuild her confidence. So we gave it another swing but sadly nothing changed. My daughter literally cried leaving the car to enter the building each time toward the end. So I yanked her...The silver lining is don't let one bad SOR ruin it for the others, We moved her to SOR in Farmingdale, and Rock Underground in Commack and she's loves them both.. you have options people make this place your last resort. Follow up to the below response. House band had zero to do with us leaving , in fact we had no issue with the reasoning she did not get in. It was the ambush you put me and my wife in, in your office. In fact very little was discussed about house band because you went on a tare of how my daughter took Tom's picture off his IG wall in his koala bear Halloween outfit. And how cooperate came down on you for it. And it was you who told Lexi that other 103 members came to you about Rosie further alienating her from her 103 peers. Dillon spoke about house band for 2 minutes at the end but by then Lexi was already in tears from your hammering. Had zero to do with house band but the fact you want to make it about that says more about you than I could ever.. Fact: house band results came out October 28th, if we had an issue surrounding the decision we would have quit October 28th not wait until December 21st And Monica why didn't Corporate know about the IG incident? You should know the same week Lexi came to apologize to Rosie for being disrespectful towards her we contacted corporate to do the same, apologize but they knew nothing about it Another lie! And that is where you finally lost me an Nikki. Look at the date of the below e mail. Well over a month after house band results. Which supports without question we didn't leave because she didn't get into house band that we were still dealing with a much greater issue. On Thu, Dec 2, 2021 at 8:35 AM James Haas Hi Monica Thanks for the call the other night. I spoke to Nikki and she was happy you reached out as well. We are both optimistic that the atmosphere will improve for Lexi and she will hopefully regain her enthusiasm with the Huntinhton School of Rick experience. We decided not to discuss it with Lexi because we didn't want to create an expectation of any kind, not did we want to muster up any old dust that is seeming to settle in regards to her confidence as a musician. We are hoping that with yours and your staffs engagement she will feel once again feel at home there before long and get back to the the fun part of being a member of your school. Remember that email ^^^ We gave you a second chance and you failed at it. Because you didn't give a crap!! And 3 weeks later nearly 2 months since house band results came out I sent this e mail on 12/21/21 Proving It has zero to do with not making house band. We stayed two months after house band results were out. It was the constant lies just like this one about us leaving because of her not making house band "Lexi Will not be returning to the SOR Huntington. It's been increasingly difficult for her to feel comfortable enough to walk through the doors there. We were hoping that would have changed over the last month or so. Unfortunately the anxiety building up has been increasingly compounded over the last several weeks. Please do not renew any reoccurring charges going forward for 103 and cease billing any lessons going forward. I recognize that today's lesson cancellation was last minute and by all means process that payment" Our good Google Review in the past in regards to a better time at your place. when you didn't get involved and lie like you do. For 6 months you told concerned families Sampson quit and left you in a pickle, but that was you playing victim. You fired Sampson!!! So more lies, you fired Sampson.. out of retaliation for Dawn quitting ..
