Every guitar, every amplifier, keyboard etc.. was well organized, price tags were clearly visible, well-stocked and properly displayed throughout the store. Stores employees were extremely friendly and professional and efficient. During my visit, I observed one employee educating two, young future DJ's on the proper use of specific pieces of equipment and which affordable items to purchase (no upsell observed) One item on my bucket list is to learn to play the bass guitar. With the big selection of bass guitars, amps and great pricing, I am tempted to return this coming week to purchase my bass guitar and amp so I can be a rock star :) Great and positive shopping experience

As soon as I walked into the store, a staff member greeted me and offered help--even though he…read morelooked busy handling some paperwork. He asked what I needed, and I explained that my acoustic guitar had a broken peg tuner. I already had the replacement part with me, so I handed it over. Instead of jumping straight into recommendations or upselling, he immediately tried to fix it on the spot. Once he confirmed it was repairable, he quickly cut the string, replaced the tuner, and got everything back in place. The whole process took less than 10 minutes! I live in Carson, so driving out to Lakewood and getting it fixed the same day was such a relief. This guitar isn't for professional use--it's for my daughter who's just starting to learn--so having it ready right away saved me a lot of time and hassle. He even tuned it by ear in seconds, which was really impressive. Overall, a smooth and pleasant experience. I really appreciated the quick, no-nonsense service and would definitely come back again for future repairs!

I've been looking for a place to get my fingerboard taped, and was so relieved when I called and they said that they could help me out! Not only did she help me with this, she also helped me tune my violin and, noticing the bridge was crooked, put it back in place. When I offered to pay, she said it was for free. I was really blown away by this, and insisted on at least buying something. I came home with a ready-to-play violin and a beautiful new rosin! Thank you, Forte Strings, for such a great experience. Really looking forward to my next visit!

My daughter has taken lessons here for several years, starting with piano, and we've had mostly…read moregreat experiences with the teachers. When one teacher wasn't the right fit, the staff was flexible and supportive in helping us make a change. The director and front desk are thoughtful, accommodating, and always focused on what's best for the students. Recently, my daughter switched to cello and absolutely loves it--her teacher, Jasper, is genuine, respectful, and makes learning the cello feel relaxed despite its challenges. Recitals are fun, and we're so happy with the program and its affordability that we plan to enroll our other kids in piano group lessons for music theory. We'll update this review then!

We signed up through the city recreation program. It was advertised as Introduction to Piano. It…read morereally should be Introduction to musical instruments since other instruments were introduced. I felt mislead, but my daughter ended up enjoying it. She really wanted to play the piano so we continued to take the classes. The way they teach piano is by scales, Solfège. The monthly tuition at the moment is $137 per month for 1 hour lesson once a week. They take zelle, card, or cash. The classes are pretty big in my opinion. Maybe 10 kids per class. I think it's way too big. Especially with little kids. Should be 5 kids per class or maybe 4. I say that cause I can see the instructors are trying to keep it together when the littles get out of order. One of them rebuked my 6 year old child for touching some instrument. I couldn't see what she was doing, so I didn't say anything. It was quite embarrassing. I'm the parent I could have taken my kid out to speak to her and tell her not to touch anything and spared her the embarrassing rebuke in front of the whole class, but anyways. There is another music school in Walnut that teaches piano by letters. Might be a good choice for a kid that wants to learn piano seriously. It's called Tchaikovsky school of music. The price is reasonable for 30 min private lesson depending on what level of instructor you choose. Which is better for little kids cause it's shorter. They'll also work with you if you need reschedule, and wont charge for days the instructor is on vacation. Music N Smart is a decent music school, but it's only 1 out of several you can choose from. They wont work with you if you need to reschedule and will still charge full price if they are on vacation.
