This is a cool little music store! I've lived in Haymarket for over five years now and never walked…read moreinto this place. It's actually quite a bit bigger inside than what it looks like from the sidewalk - more on that in a moment. As part of my research into buying my first guitar - I came in and talked with a very nice young man - I believe his name was Noah. He answered all of my questions and I was leaning toward buying an Epiphone acoustic guitar at the time. Noah also gave me a tour - there is a whole other level downstairs! There must have been some 20 private music lesson rooms, and then down this back hallway - a large room for jam sessions/open mic night on Friday nights. Based on the service I received from Noah - I like Contemporary Music Service. The place is bright, well laid out, clean, and energizing. I am sure I will be back to check out accessories and lessons once I get going with the guitar I did select.

My good friend and I went into this local music shop for a simple procedure: he wanted the nut and…read morebridge replaced on his acoustic with bone rather than the onboard plastic. This SHOULD have taken an hour or two tops, maybe a day if they were very busy. However, this store kept his guitar for over three weeks (after saying it would be a "couple days, tops"), and when he got it back, nearly nothing had been done. The bridge and nut remain the same, and the guitar's finish has fingerprints all over it. They then charged him $40 to get his guitar back, which basically amounted to a string change. I find this completely unacceptable, and I will never ever give them any business ever again. I had a similar operation done to my acoustic at Guitar Center, and it took less than two hours. I urge all of you to boycott this shop as they're incapable of following through on a very simple request, even after multiple calls over the course of 3 weeks for this "couple days, tops" work. Extremely dissatisfied, wish I could give zero stars out of 5. (x-posted from my google review.)

I can't say enough how pleased and grateful we are to Joe for being such an amazing piano teacher…read moreto our son. My husband and I, being professional musicians as well, searched for a long time to find the perfect piano teacher. Our son had a prior piano teacher who, although kind, did not provide our son with the teaching he needed to help him advance, and that former teacher also wasn't invested in getting to know our child. Joe is the exact opposite of all this! Joe is a patient, intelligent teacher, who knows how to challenge his students while still having fun. He truly cares about our son, and indeed, cares for all of the students in his piano studio. I have been able to personally witness this not only during my son's lessons, but also in the group piano lessons and studio recitals that Joe hosts each season. Joe also has a wonderful way of integrating important life lessons while teaching piano, and takes the time to learn about each child so that he knows how best to relate to them and build their confidence. Joe's experience teaching leadership classes in the past to young leaders in training also shines through and enhances his teaching in every piano lesson. Additionally, Joe has a very high level of musical experience and expertise that allows him to teach all student levels, from the very beginner piano player to the advanced high school student or adult pianist. It's been an amazing three years of study with Joe so far, and our son looks forward to many more years of study to come. I highly recommend Manassas Joe's Piano!
