However my love for music moved me to search for the right individual to help me achieve my dream. Michael's musical abilities coupled with his career experience has inspired me to commit to learning to read and learn more about music. Recently I heard Michael's band play at a local venue. I can say he's not only a great instructor but an amazing musician, singer and member of a very fun listening band. Great to dance to as well. I highly recommend him as an instructor and musician. A very solid human!

My son really connected with him and his teaching style was a perfect match. We are even going to start some remote lesson. Thanks again Michael and I'd definitely recommend anyone looking for lessons of any instrument he teaches.

Tevelde is truly a wonderful and accepting place. I am a student at their school and have had three…read moredifferent teachers, all of which I absolutely adore. They are all just extraordinary teachers and when you walk in, you already feel safe and happy. The vibe is just all around great. Miss Bonnie Tevelde is the owner and gets really excited if you're excited to learn. She often gets into many different aspects of music and will almost definitely have sheet music on hand of your favorite song. She is all over the place, but somehow seems to keep it managed in an orderly fashion. She is such a great teacher and incredible owner. Miss Sierra Gainer, soon to be Mrs. Sierra Shiver, is such a sweetheart of a teacher. I, personally, have not had her as a teacher, but just the encounters I have had with her before my lessons are amazing because her smile just makes you feel like the place is a little bit warmer. She teaches many instruments, but her specialties from what I've seen are ukulele, piano, and voice. She is so nice and sweet, and she definitely is worth having for a lesson. Or two. Or however many you would like. And finally, Miss Shaira Benitez. She is my current teacher, and let me tell you, she is so good at what she does. She is the one that teaches most of the theory I know, she teaches some piano, and voice. Her voice is so powerful and she is definitely able to teach you that too, as she has taught me. So if you need preparation for that audition you've been so nervous about, she's your woman. Also, she's a huge goofball, so honestly, just be prepared for some pretty bad dad jokes. All in all, this school is definitely the school you would want to attend for music lessons. You may go in thinking "they may not be able to do anything with me, I have such horrible music skills", you'd be wrong because I went in thinking the same thing for my first lesson. As soon as my first lesson was over with, I knew that my time here was going to be great. I've been attending this school for 1 hour a week for about a year and a half now, and honestly, it's just such a great environment. If music is your passion, then this establishment would be your place to express it.

I cannot tell you how much I love this place!!! We are new to the area and my Son was interested in…read moreplaying the drums. I googled music lessons that were around me and the TeVelde Conservatory of Music came up. I went to their website, which is very put together, got to read the bio of it, as well as see each picture of each of the music teachers. We met with Bonnie, the owner. She is EXTREMELY excited about music and is a very "hands on" owner, which I appreciate! Her team of teachers are the creme dela creme, if you ask me. She has your child take a test and based on their personality, they are set up with the corresponding teacher. Michael is my Son's piano and drums teacher and he is just an AWESOME human being. We just love him. My Son looks forward to coming to music!! The prices are quite a bit higher than others, BUT you get what you pay for and this place is WORTH EVERY CENT!!!

I needed a set of strings quick as possible and was hoping to find them in Santa Maria. I checked…read morein Google and found 3 locations, one I remember but I stopped going there because they were mainly teaching lessons and a few music accessories. Then another location but it was mostly music dvds and cds but it didn't give enough information on what they exactly do. But I came across Rangel and it looked like it would have what I need plus more. I got to the store and wow, it was set up pretty nice, I got to play a couple of classical guitars and then found they carried the guitar strings I needed, nice! Sales associates were very good, so glad I was able to find this place, I'll be coming back, in fact all musicians need to find this gem.

So yesterday when I wanted to play La Bamba on my equally venerable guitar, one of the strings popped. So I reluctantly had to find a new source of replacement strings. I'm happy to report that Nick Rail abundantly filled the bill. Nice helpful staff, prices that don't drive you to the internet, and a store filled not just with guitars, but also keyboards, drums, and horns. School band members rent and shop here, too. All In all a good experience. They've been there 40 years, and this was my belated first visit. Does anyone else remember the Bonnie Langley Music Store in downtown Santa Barbara?
