That's a heads up for people who may not like that. Staff is attentive, very helpful. There's not many workers there, though. Prices were decent, nothing special. They were fairly priced including tax. It's a homey little music store, but I know stores with more variety and more room. I wouldn't mind going here again if it was like a emergency or there's no other stores around the area, but I really wouldn't.

I've been working with Eva for 5 years, so she's been a staple in my life for a while now. She is…read moreso talented both vocally and as a teacher, and knows how to guide people through to progress. I had a voice lesson with another teacher once before, and I had a hard time getting over the vulnerability of being loud and filling a space with my voice. When I started working with Eva, she made me feel so comfortable and safe, and helped me get to a point where I could laugh and not cringe at myself. From there, progress came quick and with that, increased confidence. She helped create core memories for me through the coffee shop showcases that she set up for us. I've been on stages and competitive fields before but being up there with just me and my voice is a feat I'm most proud of. And in terms of my technical improvement, I felt my range open up and I feel as though I was able to sing more songs comfortably. Now, it's like I can actually color the songs/express myself in a rich, full way and not just worry about hitting the notes. Singing was always fun but now it's FUN. I love that my voice isn't something that I just have, I know how to evaluate it, color it, exercise it, and improve upon it. It's a skill that's a part of me now, that I can nurture and grow. My work schedule's getting in the way of me continuing this year but I hope as soon as I get some control over schedule, that I get to return. Anyone who's able to take my spot on her schedule is a lucky student :)

As a non traditional student that was just looking to learn a good baseline of technique, Eva…read morereally gives me a lot of wonderful tools to improve my craft, and honestly so much more! She has really guided me into finding my own voice as opposed to imitating anyone else's, which is honestly so valuable. She creates an environment that is free of judgment, where you are free to try new things, make mistakes and grow from them. I couldn't recommend her more !

I just bought the Alvarez AG60CE back in January, through Guitar Center, who told me that since I…read moredidn't buy their warranty for this brand new guitar, I had to go to the Alvarez distributor in the country, in St. Louis to have it fixed The problem is, Alvarez is a shitty Guitar, banking on big names like LR Baggs to sell their garbage. The L.R. Baggs electronics were completely shot on this guitar... Even the tuner didn't work. They said they would fix it for me, but I had to pay the $160.01 to ship it to them, first. That's right. Alvarez built me a defective guitar, then made me pay an additional 40% of the price of the guitar to fix their own mistake. If anyone really wants an Alvarez guitar, I highly recommend buying a used one. I wonder how long L.R. Baggs is willing to take a hit in allowing the Alvarez brand to cost them money before pulling out themselves.

The Crestwood location has been helping me accumulate quite a bit of musical equipment for many years. Here is my take on a particular one star review ( I am sure you will see it, probably under this one. First, it is not the store's fault you didn't purchase the warranty, second, the store followed policy to the letter, third, if you knew what you were buying in the first place, why did you buy it? A one star review on a store because YOU were uneducated is YOUR fault, not theirs. I have never had a bad experience there. Maybe because I am a professional musician and know how to tell a good instrument from a bad one. Kudos to knowledgeable and helpful staff, and a great selection of instruments.

David is laid back, personable, and has lots of good information. I am a big believer in supporting the local speciality shops, be they camera, fly fishing, etc and this is one of those spacial local places that deserves lots of support. the sessions are taught by super patient teachers (as a retired academic, I know the full value of that with beginners) and the the cost of a one hour lesson is very reasonable.

Additionally, there are rare stringed instruments, mountain dulcimers, and some percussion instruments (bodhrans, bones, tambourines). Also, they have sheet music books and lots of accessories (slides, straps, pics, amps, etc). I had fun walking around playing things, including 4 dulcimers. The salesman and I talked shop.
