I recently had the pleasure of working with Alisha Townley of Townley Music and she was phenomenal!…read more I needed music for a funeral mass and stumbled upon her and am so grateful I was connected to her. She was so easy to communicate with, returning my call swiftly and she clearly communicated the talents she could provide and at a reasonable rate. She showed up on time, was pleasant and agreeable, but most importantly, her talent far exceed expectations. She is beyond gifted with her violin. The music she played (violin) was soulful, moving and exactly what I requested. Her violin filled every inch of the church with beautiful and peaceful notes which brought comfort and joy to all that gathered. If you have the opportunity to book Townley Music, don't hesitate to do so. Thank you so much, Alisha! If I could give more than 5 stars, I would!

Alisha and Nathan Townley were absolutely amazing to work with and they performed amazingly at our…read morewedding! I HIGHLY recommend having Alisha and Nathan for both the ceremony and cocktail hour. As amazing as they were, my husband and I were too focused on each other that we could not fully appreciate the music playing when I was walking down the aisle. So, listening to the music playing during cocktail hour after photos were taken, was worth the investment. They were absolutely great and as we listened back to the recordings of the wedding, the music was perfect. My husband and I wanted a forest wedding. For the music, some of the music was inspired by the video games we played together. I even walked down the aisle to a Kingdom Hearts song. Alisha and Nathan were able to play ANY SONG and accommodate our unique tastes in some video game music! They communicated to us quickly over any changes or any questions that they had. Best of all, they surprised us with a song that we did not request but we absolutely LOVED because it was from our video game! They are two amazing, kind people who are willing to accommodate any song requests you'd like. You could tell that they truly cared about the sort of vibes and vision of the wedding as well! My husband and I 100% agree that they were one of the best parts of our wedding. We do not regret hiring them for cocktail hour and the ceremony. It was well worth every single dollar! All of our guests loved the live music and we are looking forward to hosting another event just to have an excuse to hire them again! :)

I was treated better than any music store I'd ever been in…read more Normally, as a woman in a guitar store, I'm invisible to the staff. We stopped in on a summer road trip. I'd been shopping for an acoustic guitar for months without finding one I liked. I found 2 there ( both Breedlove guitars) in 10 minutes. I ordered one after i got home (at a very good price). When it arrived I found it had an issue with the pickup. I decided to order the other one too and again, I got a great deal. The store owner delivered the 2nd one to me during his road trip to see a friend (5 hours each way), took the first one back with him, repaired it and shipped it back to me for no cost. I had it back in no time. It doesn't get better than this.

The prices are competitive: I recently bought a used Mexican Fender bass at Music Max for less than I could find on Musician's Friend or other online sites, with the added piece of mind that came with knowing that the owner, Al, backs up his sales with service. My son is taking lessons here, and I've recently started bass guitar lessons (old dogs should keep learning new tricks), and every instructor I've met here seems professional and personable.

I don't have any other music instruction experience other than the brief lessons i learned in grade…read moreschool so my experience is rather limited. I found this place on CL where they offered two free (30 min ea) lessons-I've been wanting to learn how to play guitar so i seized the chance to check them out. My first instructor was Jordan. He was trained in classical music and had extensive experience playing/performing. Instructing was easy to follow & my homework was fun. Sadly he moved on but i was paired w/Bradley. His preferred style of music is similar to mine and I continue to have lessons with him. From both instructors, I've learned repetition & practice are key! I struggled with finger articulation but Bradley had suggested a variety of different exercises to improve my skills. Cost is very reasonable when compared to say the local Guitar Center music store. After my first two free lessons, i agreed to a 13 week course at $85 monthly. I'm almost done with my initial commitment but I intend to continue on. As a novice I'm eager to learn & this place hasn't disappointed. Check out there free lessons, what do you have to lose?
