In my mid-20's, I decided to buy a guitar and learn to play. Eric is the best teacher someone could…read moreask for. He is non-judgy and inclusive to all ages, and never makes me feel like I am too old to be there. He is flexible to your schedule and is easily reachable via phone or text. You can do either 30 minute or 1 hr lessons on a weekly, scheduled basis. Eric is enormously talented yet very patient with his students. He runs his lessons from his home, but the parking is easy, and located in the very safe area near Edgewater Park in Lakewood. While he's classically trained, Eric's personal love of music shines in his work, and he can teach you to play nearly any song you want to learn. God bless him for entertaining my desire to learn a Goo Goo Dolls song that's taking me a longgg time to master. Eric is the guy to see for guitar or bass lessons in the Cleveland area-- whether you are a beginner or an expert just looking to jam with a cool person.

Eric is a really great guitar teacher, as he seems to immediately get what you are trying to…read moreachieve on the guitar and then suggest and steer you towards a path that will get you where you want to go. He's a hell of a guitar player, very good at explaining the theory side of things (he's the king of analogies), and a great sense of humor. With so much experience, a great rate and a comfortable lesson environment, what more could you really need or want? Check Eric out!

I've come here for jam sessions, workshops, and just to plain shop for music supplies. The staff is…read moresuper friendly and helpful and the prices are reasonable. I've never done a lesson but from looking at their pricing and options as a musician myself, I think the variety of options and pricing is very fair. If you want to support a great local business, Lakewood Music Academy is the place.

I was disappointed at their rental services. My daughter has just started playing violin, so we…read morerented a 1/2 size violin there. Since we were not knowledgeable about violin, we completely trusted on them. However, I realized how bad the violin they rented was, and the strings and bow were old. Her tutor said that a rental store usually lends a violin with at least new strings and bow. It was a used Lark (brand). I found that the price for a used one was around $100 on ebay, but their selling price was more than $400. I terminated the contract after three months. It was not a pleasant experience.

This place exudes positive, musical energy! As a self-taught guitarist, I had many knowledge- and…read moretechnique-gaps that I wanted to work on to improve my playing. The instructors at LMC are all credentialed and top notch at their respective musical fields. The instruction I've been receiving in the Rock Shop is thorough and sometimes even intense--just what I wanted to take my guitar playing to the next level. Your mileage will vary, and depends on your own personal musical goals and level of experience. They will tailor the learning experience to you and your needs. Overall, it's been a fun and worthwhile learning experience for me. I highly recommend the LMC, and no, I wasn't asked to right this! Doug Breitmayer LMC Rock Shop Student

I was introduced to Whole Note from a friend, who's children went to school where Mr. Brown was a music instructor. He has been the best gift to my son! Ryder is an active little boy and has a hard time sitting still. When he started his lessons, I was so nervous! But from the start Mr. Brown was extremely patient and made his lessons very enjoyable to the point where my son looks forward to his lessons. We were extremely saddened to hear that Mr. Brown will no longer be in California but we are definitely going to continue our sessions online. Thank you for everything Mr. Brown!

The talented pool of teachers cover a wide variety of instruments ranging from piano, wind, brass, guitar, and voice; to a variety of musical genres such as jazz, classical, pop and even rock band. After several months in a dingy temporary location, they have finally re-opened their doors late January 2016, to a new, modern state-of-the-art facility equipped with a performance hall and several music rooms. The TV in lobby waiting area only plays Tom and Jerry cartoons, which adds to the overall awesomeness of this place.
