Not only is he a well-versed teacher, he knows how to motivate his students. I leave the lesson pumped-up and anxious to return. At 72 years old, I may be his oldest student but obviously he doesn't consider age a factor. He seems to think that I am more capable than I do and that is a good thing. And on top of that, Music Motive is a well organized company offering a wide array of lessons at reasonable prices. Highly recommended!

Owens Music is family owned and run business.

We've patronized Owens for 5 years now. They have a great rent to own option; or just rent. Their prices are very competitive :) If something isn't available in SLO, they will have it sent up to SLO from their other store locations. We've rented another Tenor Sax:))

After spending a lot of time calling trying to find a 1/8 violin for my daughter finally found one…read morehere. Nice place, the staff was a bit odd, disorganized (took her 10 minutes to find a ridiculously outdated rental contract for the instrument), mumbles a lot. Great rental price though! ($15 per month rent to own). That said, even though the rental price was low, the purchase price was high ($250) especially since it was used , a quick internet search showed the same violin for much less. But it seems to be a trend in music storefront in general for the price to be inflated. It was a bit weird because I rented thru the SLO store, but I was specifically told to only call the Santa Maria store to pay the rental fee each month. Anyways, we went ahead and purchased a violin elsewheee so we'll be returning the rental. But I'd probably shop here again, nothing really bad to say, they were just a bit odd.

Here's a "thank you" note I recently sent to Bonnie (the owner) that sums up the experience my son…read moreand I have had with our music lessons over the years: I just want to say how much we both LOVE having you as our music teacher. Your approach is so incredibly unique, adaptive, approachable and engaging and that's what has kept us coming back over the years. Plus, your passion is contagious. You've nurtured an incredible sense of confidence and musicality in Jaiden that he takes everywhere and shares with everyone. You've shown him that learning music can always be fun by the way you've cleverly incorporated all of the foundations and fundamentals into character narratives. You even write custom pieces that cater to his specific music interests - who else does that!? He just loves playing all of your rock mashups! And then there's everything you've done for me. I never thought I'd be taking a piano class at the age of 45...ever. The way you're able to break things down in different ways to see which one sticks the most with me is so impressive. You know how I think better than I do! I'm just grateful that you invited me to play along during Jaiden's lessons as a way to keep him engaged and accelerate his learning. That was brilliant.

I wanted my son to have a good foundation from the start and to love it early on. Rather it be a chore for everyone. Dr telvede had questions about my son and instantly I knew she was the one. She asked personality questions and this determined whether she knew how she was going teach him. He is 7 years old and after a month he is learning fur Eloise (beginner version) but I'm shocked! My son enjoys his lessons, I'm thrilled w the progress. Yes, she is expensive, but I don't feel like I'm wasting our time. There is definite progress. My 2 year old is getting a little 5 minutes here and there. She is upset when she doesn't get her turn. Dr teVelde really knows how to motivate these kids. Her method is totally unique to what I had growing up. I think we will be with her for many years to come!

I have owned many guitars since then, big names like Gibson Les Pauls and USA Fender Strats and Teles, but nothing compares to my Ernie Ball. The tone is amazing, the action is perfect, and all the hardware is top notch. If your going to fork out 900-1500 on a guitar, skip the Fenders or Gibsons and get an Ernie Ball Music Man, It'll be your new baby.

I cannot say enough good things about her teaching style and the depth and breadth of her knowledge in all areas of voice technique. She's the first teacher I've ever had in ANY field who explained things to me in such clear-cut terms, giving me as much information as I wanted (which was a lot) in a friendly, positive way. She not only gives me all of the technical reasons for how and why to sing properly, she also has a wonderful way with phrasing, helping me to pull much more out of a song, and out of me. From the time I first came to Roz, nearly a year ago, till now, my voice has grown so much, and that's given me much more confidence in myself. She's a talented, warm, big-hearted person who truly gets an enormous charge out of teaching. She will free your voice.
